Red Spider is a Millenium City superheroine. Formerly known as the sword-wielding Slash, Red Spider possibly became more famous for avoiding the spotlight after clips began to appear on YouTube of her crime fighting. She once worked almost exclusively alone, but has emerged as the leader of the Adventurers super team. Little else is known of this young hero because she guards her secret identity carefully. It is commonly believed that she may have no actual super powers.
Powers, Skills, and Attributes
Skills
Dance - Red Spider has trained as a dancer since her parents first enrolled her in a class at age 4. She has a master's grasp of the range and economy of human movement.
Fighting - Red Spider uses a blend of her dance skills with some basic fighting techniques to create a unique martial art style. Initially she used this in sword fighting, but she has learned that she is more effective without wielding a weapon.
Investigation - Red Spider has become resourceful in tracking people of interest & experienced at interpreting physical evidence as a result of her crime fighting career.
Gear and Equipment
Gear
Red Spider's bracers project grappling beams.
Costumes - Red Spider wears several different costumes at different times. Her black one appears to have nanotechnology woven into its fabric, probably offering environmental protection and some kinetic resistance. Her other costumes appear to be ordinary textiles.
Grapplers - Early in her career Red Spider used a cable-based micro grappler to swing around. At some point she acquired beam grapplers which project from metallic bracers on her wrists.
Spider Mics - Red Spider employs one-way audio devices which are disguised as spiders and can be used to do surveillance. She has placed them on fake spider-webs to sell the illusion.
General Perception
Red Spider is a mysterious costumed hero (in)famous for avoiding the spotlight. She has been the source of much internet speculation, and the concentration of some private investigations, but so far her true identity has eluded scrutiny.
