From Miss Venom to Lady Octopus to Scorpia, discover 20 women who once replaced Spider-Man's greatest enemies!■ by JB
For every male character, there is a female version (this is rule 63 of the rules of the internet). This One Law is especially true in comic books: DC Comics and Marvel Comics like to recycle their concepts! We were thus treated to derivative versions of the iconic villains of Spider-Man. Heroines or criminals, here are 20 women who have taken over from enemies of the Spider.
Carolyn Trainer is Otto Octavius' assistant when he dies at the hands of Kaine, Peter Parker's crazy clone. As a tribute to her mentor, she becomes the new Dr. Octopus. His arrival, which coincides with that of Ben Reilly, gives the adventures of the latter a touch of modernity. Virtual environment, cyberspace. Carolyne tries by all means to bring Otto back to life. She eventually achieves this by working with the Hand ninjas. After Dr. Octopus returns, Trainer continues to work as Lady Octopus.
Anne Weying is the ex-wife of Eddie Brock, the host of the Venom symbiote. She leaves him when he refuses any responsibility for the scuttling of her career, following a dubious article. In Venom: Sinner takes it all, Anne Weying is injured in a shootout. To heal her, Eddie envelops her in his symbiote which bonds to Anne. From then on, she becomes Miss Venom. But the experience leaves her traumatized. Sometime after walking away from the symbiote, the mere sight of Spider-Man in his black suit is enough to cause her to panic to the point that she commits suicide. Another woman took on the identity of Venom in the regular 1st Venom series. In a story strongly evoking The Thing, Patricia Robertson discovers a virtually empty polar laboratory. She brings the last survivor back to her own base, but a monstrous creature begins to decimate her team. Indeed, the lab was studying a clone of the Venom symbiote that slaughtered the scientists. Coerced and coerced, Patricia becomes host to this symbiote until she crosses paths with the original. Venom grabs the cloned symbiote and absorbs it.
The origins of Quicksand remain quite obscure. However, the details she gives are very similar to the beginnings of the Man-Sand. The one that would become Quicksand was the victim of a nuclear accident. Like the Sandman, her body has been transformed into grains of sand that she can control. Surprisingly, she hardly faced Spider-Man. Indeed, Quicksand only met the Weaver 30 years after his debut, in Amazing Spider-Man n°791! But before that, Peter Parker had already met a Woman-Sand. In Peter Parker: Spider-Man #56 and #57, the Sandman sees representations of his psyche physically manifest. Her inner child, her dark side, her conscience and her feminine side! This one, which carries within it the compassion of the Man-Sand, is the 1st to merge with the dark side of the Man-Sand, which reabsorbs little by little the rest of the fragments of his soul.
