Marvel Just Tied SpiderWoman’s Origin To SpiderMan’s Most Hated Story

Warning! Spoilers for Spider-Woman #4

Spider-Woman’s origin has seen many twists and turns since the character’s debut in 1977. Now, in Spider-Woman #4, by the team of writer Karla Pacheco (Fearless, Fantastic Four 2099) and artist Pere Perez (War of the Realms), another layer is added, and it ties her origin into The Clone Saga, one of the most infamous and hated Spider-man stories ever!

Originally introduced as a mutated spider in Marvel Spotlight #32, several retcons have been made to her backstory over time. First, her existence as a spider transformed into a human were done away with. Second, it was revealed she had been human all along and her parents, Jonathan and Miriam, had experimented on her as a child, infusing her with the DNA from several varieties of spiders (although this part of the story has changed over time as well). The it’s eventually revealed the mutated spider memories were implanted by Hydra. And now the latest issue of her solo series adds another wrinkle: her parents at one point worked with Miles Warren, AKA The Jackal, and the mastermind behind The Clone Saga.

Spider-Woman has tracked her recently revealed, long-lost brother Michael and his daughter Rebecca to Wundagore Mountain, where she was raised as a child. Arriving there, she meets her mother Miriam, who she believed to be dead. Understandably confused, Spider-Woman asks her mother how she survived. Miriam reveals Hydra was pursuing her and would stop at nothing until they got her. She then reveals she reached out to “former colleagues” for help – one of whom was Warren.

Miriam makes no mention of whether or not Warren actually helped them; she seemed to dismiss him as soon as she mentions him, calling his research into cloning and manipulating reptilian DNA too “esoteric.” From there, Hydra storms Wundagore, opening fire on Spider-Woman and her team. The issue ends on a cliffhanger, seeing Miriam toss Spider-Woman into a hail of gunfire intended for her. No other mention is made of Warren, his time as The Jackal, or the Clone Saga.

Despite its infamous reputation as convoluted and nothing more than a “cash-in” attempt, the Clone Saga has continually impacted Spider-man and those around him. Characters from that story, such as Ben Reilly and Kaine Parker, still appear in Spider-Man stories. The Jackal has also appeared in other stories since then. While it is unclear if Miriam mentioning The Jackal is a set up for future stories or not, the revelation still adds another layer to Spider-Woman’s origin, and gives a shout out to the most hated Spider-man story ever.
