But she has amazing psychic powers of telepathy, clairvoyance and precognition. These powers allow her an insight into events beyond the capability of her physical body. She gets her name from the web-like life-support machine she’s hooked into, which looks like a giant spider’s web. She has also served as a mentor to Peter Parker’s alter ego and also generations of heroes calling themselves Spider-Woman.”
