Allies

Lady Justice

A long-serving Adventurer, Lady Justice seemed an anti-social misfit for the team at first, but she admits that time with Red Spider & the team has softened her, and saved her from becoming cold and embittered. Now Red Spider often thinks of Lady Justice first when she has a technology problem.

Dreamweaver

Dreamweaver has been around since the early days of the Adventurers. While Dreamweaver was compromised and used against Red Spider during the "Missing Plane" crisis, Red Spider never held that against her. They regularly hang out together in or out of costume.

Stormherald

Cassandra/Red Spider feels protective of Stormherald since the heroine was badly injured while rescuing Cassandra from a VIPER attack. The two frequently meet up for hot tub or hang outs.

Atomac

As heroes, Red Spider initially met the size-shifting Atomac (a member of the Young Sentinels at the time) as he was attempting to curb a Destroid raid on a Downtown lab. Soon after, they encountered each other while working out in the gym in their civilian guises, though their acquaintance was cut short by Cassandra's disappearance in the "Missing Plane" case. After returning from those events, Cass was able to reconnect with Ralph and-- in so doing-- deduced that her friend was more than he appeared to be. In a rendezvous atop one of the Renaissance Center's sky-scraping buildings, the two heroes exchanged knowledge about their identities. Atomac has since left the Sentinels to join the Protectors of the World, but his and Red Spider's paths continue to cross occasionally on patrol.

Stygian

Initially told that Stygian was a bit too extreme and probably more of a vigilante, Red Spider befriended her and found she was actually an impressive & talented costumed hero, who also showed remarkable restraint. While they started off kind of rocky due to Stygian's strict creed and wariness of strangers, they have become close friends.

Fox

Fox was an early ally of Red Spider's. She was drawn in by his wry humor, and with his help & support, they founded the Adventurers. He has put himself in harm's way to help Red Spider several times.

Bill Olsen

Cassandra's father Bill has proven a reliable ally since he first learned that his daughter was the Red Spider. A wealthy VP at an investment firm, Bill has the financial means to provide for his daughter, as well as give her access to the city's elite. Bill & his wife Marie may also be credited for instilling strong civic & humanitarian virtues in Red Spider. (Lawful Good).

Captain Christopher Suzuki, OSR

UNTIL's Office of Superhuman Resources became affiliated with Red Spider and the Adventurers in early 2016. He has maintained a good balance between his role of authority, and being a trusted advisor to superhumans. Suzuki has occasionally been a source of information, and has requested the Adventurers help on missions. He is aware that Red Spider is really Cassandra Olsen. (Lawful Good).

Dr. Frederick Witt

A university biochemist whom Red Spider has consulted on cases. He is willing to give Red Spider access to campus labs, or do some analysis for her on the side. It's a careful relationship, as he is technically violating faculty rules to give the help that he does, but his reward is the excitement of being involved, even vicariously, in super heroics. (Lawful Neutral).

Ray Decosta

Red Spider rescued this inventor in her earlier days of crime fighting, before she had powers. In gratitude, he gave her a pair of prototype beam grapplers he had developed for NASA, so that astronauts could hook on to distant objects using a beam of pure energy that did not exert a pulling force. The concept was abandoned because its battery was cost prohibitive for the space program, but Decosta had just enough of a rare isotope, that could make a battery that could remain operable for several hundred years.
