HistoryEdit

Spyder's origin is unknown, and no other representatives of his species have been seen.
It is believed that Spyder captured Lila Cheney on Earth to sell her as a slave. However, he later extinguished the right to redeem a mortgage to the buyers so that they went broke, and Spyder got a profit.
He tried then to double his profit by recapturing Cheney, a teleporter, and using her as a cheap intergalactic transport. Spyder's mercenaries captured Cheney during one of her rock concerts (Cheney was also a rock star), and then Spyder returned to his native planet with her. Spyder also used alien Gosamyr as a bait so that Cheney's allies, the New Mutants could track him. Spyder then captured the New Mutants, but Gossamyr fred them.
During the following fight, three males of Gossamyr's species were fred from hybernation and threatened to destroy Spyder's planet. Apparently, Cheney sacrificed her life by teleporting with them to a nearby star.
The New Mutants then prepared to fight Spyder, but one of the New Mutants, Magik was losing her powers and teleported them to Earth before it was too late.
When last seen, Spyder and his team were basically intact. He has not tried to capture any Earthling superhuman since; maybe he belives the risk is greater that the profit.
