Base Of Operations: Alexandria, VA
First Appearence: Amazing Spider-Man I#367 (October,
1992)
Powers/Abilities: Blood Spider wore a backpack with cables
running to the back of his wrists which shot weblines, much like
Spider-Man's. He was also fairly agile and strong, as he punched
a hole in a wall without flinching.
Weaknesses: Lots of punches to the face seemed to do the
trick on him.
History: Blood Spider was one of Taskmaster's students
who, along with Death-Shield and The Jagged Bow, were trained to
mimic Spider-Man, Captain America and Hawkeye.
(Amazing Spider-Man I#367) Solo and Spider-Man
stumble upon an estate which is supposed to be the site of
"some mysterious project". When they enter, Taskmaster
greets them and introduces his students. Solo says he has his own
name for the group... "Dead men" and opens fire.
Spider-Man basically saves their lives by pushing Solo's guns
away. At first he wraps Solo up with his weblines, but later
turns his attentions to Spider-Man, who easily puts him down.
when Taskmaster tried to escape, Blood Spider created a
distraction long enough for him to do so.
Comments: Created by David Michelinie and Jerry Bingham
These guys were pretty weak, considering they survived Taskmaster's training (Read all about it in Agent X)
On the cover, the top of his mask was red, and the rest was black and white, but inside the book his costume more resembled Spider-Man 2099's.
He received a real name in Taskmaster's entry in OHOTMU A-Z HC#11.
