History

Maria Vasquez has a bad attitude. She enjoys inflicting pain and once licked her bloody blade after slicing through an enemy[1]. If instructed not to kill, she will seriously injure an opponent, to the chagrin of her teammates. Maria is also highly intelligent with knowledge of biology and engineering[2].

Maria Vasquez decided to become a hero to avenge her sister, who had been killed in the Stamford Incident. This was against the wishes of her father, who would have preferred that she found a safer profession (such as a doctor or a lawyer) and where she could put her intelligence to good use.

Tarantula

Her father was killed by ninjas while visiting her sister's grave when she had been the one marked for death by Ricadonna (along with the rest of the Heroes For Hire). Tarantula killed the entire team of ninjas herself.

The team went to Savage Land to explore some things that SHIELD wanted Tarantula and her team to find. On their return, SHIELD refused to pay them before they solved their problem with the Hulk. Tarantula got into an argument with SHIELD agent Scorpion which raised some tension between the two teams.
