Who Is Madame Web?
Madame Web (Cassandra Webb) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #210, published November 1980, and was created by writer Denny O’Neil and artist John Romita Jr. She is usually depicted as a supporting character in the Spider-Man comic book series, where she appears as an elderly woman with myasthenia gravis, connected to a life support system resembling a spiderweb.
Madame Web was a clairvoyant, and precognitive mutant who first showed up to help Spider-Man find a kidnapping victim. She was not one of the mutants that lost their power during the Decimation storyline. She was attacked by Sarah and Ana Kravinoff, who killed her, but not before she was able to pass her powers of precognition as well as her blindness on to Julia Carpenter, who became the next Madame Web. Webb is the grandmother of the fourth Spider-Woman, Charlotte Witter.
Rachel Dratch voices “C. Weber” as a counsellor at Miles Morales’ school in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023), while Dakota Johnson will play Madame Web in the upcoming solo film Madame Web (2024), set in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (SSU).
