Born blind, she also suffered from a neurological condition known as myasthenia gravis. Her real name is Cassandra Webb, a woman born and raised in Salem, Oregon. Madame Web Reading Order Cassandra Webb as Madame Web (1980-2010)Ĭreated by Denny O’Neil and John Romita Jr., Madame Web first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #210, published in November 1980 to help Spider-Man to find a kidnap victim. For a better understanding, it’s often recommended to read the whole story. It’s a fact to keep in mind when following this reading order, as her appearances are oftentimes limited to a few panels, a few issues in bigger storylines. Madame Web has been called the ‘Creepy Clairvoyant’ and she is without a doubt a mysterious character. As she possesses also the ability to transfer her mutation to another individual, when the time will come, she will transfer it to Julia Carpenter (who has been a Spider-Woman in the past) who then became the new resident Madame Web. Madame Web was first introduced as the elderly blind woman Cassandra Webb, helping Spider-Man, giving him very bad news or asking for his help. But soon enough, Spider-Man will realize she is everything but a fraud. The first time Peter Parker heard about her and her clairvoyance, he thought she looked like a fraud. No, Madame Web possesses psychic sensory powers including telepathy, clairvoyance, prescience, and the ability to sense the presence of psionic powers in others. The original Madame Web, which appeared for the first time in the pages of The Amazing Spider-Man in 1980, was not swinging or fighting.

Madame Web is not your typical member of the Spider-family. As much as I like the character, it’s a peculiar choice on Sony’s part when you think about all the other members of the Spidey family with more issues and presence under their belt than Madame Web.

Sony is developing a ‘Spider-Man’ Spinoff ‘Madame Web’, with Dakota Johnson as the lead role.
