Anya Corazon (Earth-616)

Araña is a teenage girl from Brooklyn whose father is an investigative reporter. On one fateful night, she went to a bridge to fight a boy from her school. When she got there, a fight between the Sisterhood of the Wasps and the Spider Society left her fatally injured. Miguel, the Spider Society's sorcerer, was forced to transfer some of his power to her to save her life. She received a spider-shaped tattoo which gave her enhanced strength and agility. It also presumably gave her an exoskeleton.

Recently, Araña learned that she is not a true hunter. No hunter before her has ever had an exoskeleton like hers. In a battle in which the Sisterhood attempted to resurrect their hunter (even Spider-Man got involved), Miguel died and she released the power of the Hunter.

Even though she has quit WebCorps, she will never stop fighting for the greater good.

She was part of the registered heroes during the Civil War thought she never took part of the battle. During this time her exoskeleton was ripped off her body, leaving her unable to use it, but still has her enhanced powers. She is now something of a sidekick to Ms. Marvel. She was recently captured by the Puppet Master.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

Superhuman Strength: Arana's strength is relativly large at her stage in heroism. Her strength may also be increasing, because she was quickly able to subdue Arachne, who can lift 10 tons.

Superhuman Speed: Arana can run and move at speeds that are beyond the physical limits of the finest human athlete. She is ultimately capable of running at speeds in excess of 30 miles per hour .

Superhuman Stamina: Arana's advanced musculature produces less fatigue toxins during physical activity than an ordinary human. This allows her to exert himself physically for much longer periods of time before fatigue begins to impair her.

Superhuman Agility: Arana's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are all enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. Arana is extraordinarily limber and her tendons and connective tissues are twice as elastic as the average human being's, despite their enhanced strength.

Superhuman Reflexes: Arana's reflexes are similarly enhanced and are currently about 10 times greater than those of an ordinary human.

Wall-Crawling: She has the ability to cling to walls at will.

Former Powers

She could summon a blue exoskeleton carapace that emanates from the tattoo on her upper arm; she can control the thickness, coverage, and shape of the carapace. At its thickest, it is resistant to small firearms. However, when using full armor, contact with water leaves her unable to breathe, forcing her to retract it.
