While working at Benson
Labs in Springdale as a gofer, Robbie Baldwin sneaked into the lab to observe
a top secret experiment. The energies went out of control, washing over
Robbie and granting him a permanent kinetic field. This field makes Robbie
virtually impervious to harm, and the "Speedball effect" grants
him his costume, larger stature, and allows him to use his kinetic abilities
in a variety of ways. One of the founding members of the Warriors, Robbie
now lives in New York with his mother and is in his fifth year of high school.
Recently, he was voted to be the new leader of the Warriors. |

A mysterious ceremony
called the Gathering of the Five granted Mattie Franklin the ability to
cling to walls, glide through the air, weave webs of psionic energy, fire
bio-blasts, low-level psychic abilities, and four spider-like legs which
protrude from her back. Patterning herself after her favorite hero, she
went by the Spider-Man identity when the real Spider-Man was semi-retired,
and when he returned she became the latest Spider-Woman. She lives with
her uncle, J. Jonah Jameson, and receives training from Madame Web and Jessica
Drew, the original Spider-Woman. |
