Madame Web: That’s behind Spider-Man’s colleague
Madame Web made her first appearance in the “Spider-Man” comics in issue #210 in November 1980. She is a blind but clairvoyant mutant who uses her gift to help Spider-Man and other heroes around him. In the comics, she was initially portrayed mostly as a paralyzed old lady. She relies on life support devices that resemble a spider web.
