Spider-Grrl

Spider-Grrl (Laurel Franklin) is the Amalgam of Marvel Comics' Spider-Woman (Mattie Franklin) and DC Comics' Supergrrl.

History[]

When Project Cadmus decided to try creating a clone of Super-Soldier, they first attempted to create the clone using the DNA of heroes with similar powers. One such attempt used the genetic material of American Girl. However, the clone was genetically unstable and unable to control her powers due to the unusual origins of American Girl's powers. She was kept in suspended animation in the most secret parts of Cadmus.

When King Lizard escaped from Cadmus, he damaged the power core keeping the clone alive. Spider-Boy found the clone and attempted to have the scientists cure her with a serum derived from his own blood and the DNA of a red widow spider. The serum stabilized the clone's genetic code and powers and she was able to be revived.

Spider-Boy gave her the identity of Laurel Franklin, the "cousin" of his alter ego Pete Ross. Laurel decided to use her powers as Spider-Grrrl.

Powers[]
