History:

(Spider-Verse III#3/4 - BTS) - The lethal White Widow lived in a future timeline.

(Tumblr online post by creator Carly Henson) - Possibly a former assassin, White Widow racked up a very high body count but later began using her skills towards more heroic goals.

(Spider-Verse III#6 (fb) - BTS) - White Widow was recruited alongside several other Multiversal Spider-totems to assist in locating Earth-18119's Spiderling, patternmaker of the Great Web of Life and Destiny.

(Spider-Verse III#6 (fb)) - White Widow was present on Earth-001 as Earth-19166's Spider-Zero located Spiderling trapped within a tangle in the Great Web.

(Spider-Verse III#6) - White Widow joined the other assembled Spider-totems in converging on the Great Web tangle and attempting to unravel it. When the Great Web responded by opening portals to Earth-51778 and unleashing a swarm of Machine Bem Monsters, White Widow and the other Spider-totems leaped into battle against the creatures. During the battle, White Widow used her poison claws against one of the monsters and she continued helping to hold the monsters at bay while Spider-Zero and Earth-1610's Spider-Man (Miles Morales) freed Spiderling from the Great Web tangle. Spiderling then began restoring the Great Web, banishing the Machine Bem Monsters and sending White Widow and the other Spider-totems back to their home realities.

Comments: Created by Carly Henson.

White Widow is one of several Spidersona's who appeared in the back-pages of Spider-Verse (2020). "Spidersona" was a hashtag that launched around the release of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018). Amazed at the talent of creativity of people posting their creations online, Marvel reached out to some of these artists to create new Spidersona art especially for the Spider-Verse (2020) series. Every issue showcased several original pieces of Spidersona art by artists from around the globe after which most appeared in the story as well.

White Widow's creator Carly Henson lives in the United States and noted that two of her biggest inspirations for the design were the peacock spider and the black widow: "I wanted her to have an eye-catching appearance that reiterates her lethal ability".

No origin was given for White Widow's ability to secrete toxins but one could assume it was due to being mutated like many other Spider-totems.

White Widow was never seen without her mask so her eye color and hair color were impossible to determine.
