Origins
Birth and Early Life
Ebon Widow is a native of alternate dimension 998, known to a few as Nazi Earth, a world where WW2 was won by the Axis forces, resulting in worldwide domination.
Regina Warren was born on December 7th 1989 in Berlin, Germany to Stefan and Carmella Warren, the then Duke and Duchess of the Nazi Empire, a global kingdom that spanned from Germany to all corners of the earth. A year passes from that time, Regina's mother Carmella, was assassinated on the orders of Emperor Desmond Warren, Regina's own grandfather. Stefan dealt with the attacker before taking Regina away from their home. They arrived in Moscow, Russia, being on the run from a vicious Empire, Stefan left his daughter on the steps of an orphanage, before vanishing into the darkness.
Throughout her childhood, Regina had barely any memory of that life, it had been six years since that night. Regina grew up within the walls of the orphanage and lived a semi normal life. Unaware of the events that transpired outside Moscow.
One day she was approached by several men, all dressed in Officer's uniforms. They claimed to the Orphanage's staff that they were here on behalf of a "Lord Warren", A name that brought a worried glance from the maidens. They released Regina into the care of these guards as they escorted her into a private car on route to the airport. Mixed feelings flooded young Regina, fear over where she was going and not seeing her friends again, and wonder for who would adopt her and why the caretakers feared his name. The plane arrived in Berlin, Germany and soon enough, little Regina's world would change forever.
Upon meeting Lord Warren, Regina somehow recognized him, as if from a dream. After several nights in her new home, the dreams became more frequent, more vivid. Until she could see everything, the snow, the orphanage, and the man who left her, Lord Warren himself. The man finally made it all clear to her, he was in fact her actual father. He then revealed to her just why he left her on that night in Moscow. Her mother was killed, they were on the run from a vengeful grandfather. And Stefan Warren spent those six years forming a rebellion that would eventually oust Desmond Warren and cement Stefan's rise into power as the third Emperor of the Arachni Empire (Formerly Nazi Empire). All was clear to Regina, to her the circle was complete, she was now, home.
Training
Years passed and Regina grew into her teen years as the Duchess of the Arachni Empire, and was put through many programs to hone her skills to better protect herself. Overseen by a slowly changing Stefan. Regina noticed it, he was becoming a colder, more vicious of a ruler. But Regina's loyalty to her father was undying even at her young age. She was trained in many combat forms, as well as marksmanship, magic and Espionage. In her eyes, her father was training her to be his successor, but in reality, she was becoming his greatest weapon.
At age 18, Regina was christened as the head of the Arachni Death Squad, a group of skilled warriors who served Emperor Warren and was tasked with combating the enemies of the Empire. Regina served alongside her younger brother, Tiberius (Or Tyson for short) and several of her former friends who passed the trials with her. For two years they served the Empire, until Lord Warren had an unusual task.
Following Regina's rise into the squad, The Arachni Empire began to expand into other dimensions through the use of a strange artifact. The vast armies of the empire conquered alternate earths, two to be exact. And slowly built up a vast amount of resources. Soon though, Stefan Warren, who had now adopted the moniker of Ebony Tarantula showed desire to expand into a fourth earth, this one being a treasure trove of resources beyond that of what Nazi Earth had. The armies gathered their strength and pushed into this new world, and once again, Regina's life would drastically change.
A New World. And New Challenges
The Arachni arrived on Champions Earth, a world filled with high magic levels and almost god like heroes. and soon they based themselves on that earth's Germany, in the depths of The Black Forrest of southwest Germany. Ebony began his own crusade and eventually came to blows with this world's defenders. Especially a group known as the Titian Institute, Regina had noticed her father drastically changed as they crossed the Dimensional barrier. He was getting more unstable, more ruthless. Soon though, Ebony Tarantula experienced his first defeat at the heroes hands. Resulting in his temporary death. Only by Regina's intervention and the power of Etir, That Ebony returned. More unstable than ever he tasked his daughter and son to attack the institute in earnest. While the heroes were recovering from their previous encounter with Ebony. Regina was tasked to assassinate Dr. Mallick Orson. A genius of technology and Ebony's intellectual rival.
Regina Warren, now known as Ebon Widow, tracked down Orson with intent to serve her father's wishes. However, before this, Orson had captured Tyson and locked him away. Regina was conflicted, she cared for Tyson. But feared what would happen if her father got control of this earth in his current state. This allowed Mallick to talk her down and struck a bargain with her. Tyson's freedom for Orson's life. A choice Regina made wisely, she accepted Tyson's release and as "proof" Mallick allowed Regina to cut off his arm for Ebony to ensure her own safety. However, Ebony Tarantula saw through his daughter's ruse, and as punishment destroyed Tyson on the spot. After a brief fight between the two, Regina was forced to flee from her father, and into the arms of the Titian Institute.
Dr. Orson took Regina in without hesitation and quickly began to harbor feelings for her. The two worked closely together and aided the Institute in holding Ebony off and possibly defeating him again. But more tragedy struck. Ebony Tarantula gathered his forces and allies and launched an assault on the Institute, a battle that ended in the group's destruction.
Soon though, the survivors of the Institute attack regrouped and formed the Nexus Academy, and Regina finally accepted her shared feelings for Mallick, and they began dating, this however was short lived. Ebony soon caught word of this and "Finished loose ends" by killing Mallick one night in his lab. Regina was devastated and so was the Nexus Academy. Regina then became aware of a "Plan B" program Orson had left behind, and Regina had two choices to Clone mallick and give him a new life with no memory of anything or anyone, or give her DNA to mix with Orson's resulting in new life. Regina chose the latter and through genetics, Adam Orson was born, her son.
The Value Of Family
Regina had just gotten used to life on the heroes side, she had a caring family, her brother was back from the dead and she was being trained by Night Spider to use her talents for good. However, the bliss was short lived. Slade Thron, a partner of Ebony Tarantula who was thought dead returned to destroy the Nexus Academy and Regina's family. Slade had been aware that Regina's son, Adam Orson had genetically grown to a 18 year old physique and had begun dating Slade's daughter, Catherine. Slade was furious, and while under the influence of alien technology began to single out Adam with intent to kill.
Naturally, Regina defended her son AND Cat's wellbeing and embarked on a personal mission to ensure Slade would no longer be a threat to anyone, without killing him. Ebon Widow soon discovered that a set of Alien Rings was the source of Slade's new found savagery and (With help from both Night Spider and her father) managed to take them away from him. Adam was safe, but the Academy still was in danger...
Questionable Actions
The war between Nexus Academy and Slade Thron's organization The Shadows raged on. Slade led guerilla strikes whenever he could, often causing damage to the city and injuries to the Academy's students. Soon enough, a select few of kids, led by Roki. Broke into Slade's headquarters and eventually kidnapped Slade's second daughter, Solara Thron. In an act of mercy, knowing that the poor girl had nothing to do with their conflict. Regina along with Plasma Web and other female heroes returned Solara to her father. And the battle yet continued.
With goading on from Tiberius, Night Spider then authorized Regina and Tiberius to kidnap Solara again, this time to lead Slade out to be arrested. Regina disguised as a maid and while Tiberius attacked the guards, Widow led Solara to a back room of the Slade CORP building where she promptly knocked her out.
Not wanting to burden Solara with being a hostage, Regina kept her maid form, going by the name Maria and holding Solara at a "Safehouse" for a few weeks until a plan was formed.
On one night, Regina and Tiberius knocked out Solara and took her to a rigged warehouse in Westside and held her there until Slade himself arrived. While disguised as Mercenaries, Regina and Tiberius fought off Slade before Regina brutally incapacitated him. All in front of Solara. Solara then unleashed her powers onto the surviving environment, being a Beta Level Telepath this proved dangerous to everyone present, including Solara. Solara was dying from the outburst's effects when Regina managed to revive her. And as the MCPD took Slade away, Regina vowed to protect Solara as penance for deceiving her.
A Venomous Web (Current Events)
Life continued as normal. Regina and Solara developed a friendship that ended up in a parental relationship. However due to complications in their relationship, Mallick Orson and Regina civilly broke up and Mallick with their son moved away. Tiberius was then called to the Netherworld by his mother, Revenna, Queen of Shadows to partake in a war among demon species. Tiberius left Regina and the family for his duties.
Soon after, activity from The Arachni Empire resumed. On August 8th 2013, Twenty Arachni Intel Pods crashed down from space in random areas around Millennium City. Quickly acting, UNTIL barred off these devices from the public, only to be slaughtered by Arachni Retrieval Units. The Ultimate Guardians were the first heroes to respond and entered a conflict with Ebony Tarantula. Having a history with Ebony, the Nexus Academy lent info and aid to the UG. In the end only three of the pods remained in hero custody, one of which had it's contents open. This revealed that Ebony Tarantula's presence on Earth predated The Titian Institute and that there were more than a few lesser groups under The Arachni's influence. The battle escalated when Ebony Tarantula viciously attacked and kidnapped Bloodryn for His Associate, and later defeated Primal-Man and kidnaped him as well.
The Nexus Academy and The Ultimate Guardians joined forces to investigate. They had then located Primal Man in Castle Arachni, a fortress hidden within Germany's Black Forest. The Hero Teams gathered their forces, Night Spider enlisted Slade Thron, who was serving his time in stronghold to provide aid in defeating Ebony Tarantula along with The Young Stars who offered their help as well. on September 8th the teams along with UNTIL and The German Military attacked Castle Arachni in an all out battle with both The Arachni and VIPER forces. In the end, the heroes rescued Primal-Man and destroyed the fortress, however Slade Thron was murdered by Ebony Tarantula personally.
The Arachni escaped German borders and fled out into the Atlantic Ocean to an unknown location. Regina must now deal with a heartbroken Solara, but for once in her life she finally stood up to the very people who raised her...And won.
Regina dropped off the radar for some time afterwards, when she came back she found that The Arachni had fled earth after a defeat on their island base. Considering herself completely free, Regina now searches for a new home, and a place where her talents would be useful.
Powers And Skills
Magic Experience: While not on par with master mages, Ebon Widow is well rounded in the magical field. She is particularly advanced in Elemental Magic, favoring lightning. Regina can quickfire these spells in combat but prefers to rely on her guns. This experience has also made Regina into an expert enchanter and alchemist.
Martial Artist: Over the course of 13 years Regina has learned and excelled in two martial arts forms. She is quite adept in Jeet-Kune-Do and has learned Military Combat. Regina often uses her acrobatic frame to remain agile on the battlefield, avoiding attacks and striking when it matters most.
Marksman: Ebon Widow is also a master marksman. She is experienced in nearly all forms of munitions and is particularly effective dual wielding pistols.
Equilibrium and Acrobatics: Ebon Widow is very agile and nimble, able to balance on the smallest of platforms and perform the most complex of moves. A master gymnast, Regina often uses cartwheels and flips to move over obstacles and as a combat form.
Espionage Expert: Widow was initially trained as the Arachni's ultimate spy and assassin before her defection. Nonetheless, Regina is a master of disguise and infiltration, often employing magic to better effect.
Flaws
Altruism: A problem Regina faces due to how fast her world has changed in such little time. It was tough for her to adapt to the laws and systems of Champions Earth. In turn, Regina often walks on the very thin line between Vigilante and Assassin, occasionally falling either way. It is only due to her friends and allies that she is not completely on one side, but rather chooses the morality that would be most beneficial at the current time. (This however only applies to the Hero/Anti Hero moral standings) Recently, now that Regina is taking care of Solara, she has been leaning more into the heroic side of things.
Lesser Metahuman: Aside from magic spells and training, Regina does not have much else to use. At this point she is considered to be a hair above Olympic Level Humans. Widow lacks a healing factor or bulletproof skin, and has been injured many times.
Beginner: Regina is fresh on the hero scene and has a lot to learn in terms of morals and "The Hero Way". Thus she is prone to mistakes. On the other hand, she possesses enough Assassin Training to keep up with the boys.
Equipment
Spider Grenades: These quarter sized orbs are widely used in The Spider Family's arsenal. These devices come in many verities, these include Taser, Kinetic Explosion, Plastique, Cryo and Goo Burst rounds.
Smoke Types include Tear Gas, Knockout Gas and Smoke Screen.
Web Hook: Another Spider Family Iconic, this grapple hook fires a retractable liquid metal cable with a questionite prong on the end. The launcher comes with a boost function to allow faster ascension as well as a metallic handle that can attach to Widow's belt, leaving her hands free.
The Web Hook also has a combat function, this device can disarm an armed opponent by grabbing the weapon and reeling it in. Also, the hook has a separate attachment that can fire a zipline.
Darts and Poisons: Being a natural Alchemist, Regina can create poisons and toxins of many types. She stores these poisons on launchers attached to her gauntlets. Many of her guns can fire these darts as well. Regina keeps a few darts on hand, these include Sleep Darts and Haitian Zombie Toxin (Puts the victim in a coma for a few days).
Switchblade: This blade was first used by Desmond Parker, grandfather to Regina's mentor. The switchblade is a device connected to Widow's bracer. When activated a six inch long questionite lined blade springs out for combat use. This is an entirely lethal weapon thus is seldom used. Regina often uses this when combatting Vampires and Undead. The blade can also be coated with toxins for extra damage.
Etir Vials: Due to her connections to The Arachni Empire, Regina has accesses to the mystical chemical known as Etir. Etir is presumed to be liquid magic and a source of life for both Dark and Light magic users. Commonly used By Ebony Tarantula to resurrect his fallen soldiers and Metahuman experiments. Regina uses this chemical to heal herself and others on the battlefield. Etir also is a useful poison to Demons and Undead when mixed with holy water.
