Arachne
It has also been suggested that Jeremias Gotthelf's nineteenth century novella, "The Black Spider", was heavily influenced by the Arachne story from Ovid's "Metamorphoses". In the novella, a woman is turned into a venomous spider having reneged on a deal with the devil.
Spider Queen
The second Spider Queen has super-strength, telekinesis, a sonic scream, and can control insects and anyone with the "insect gene", and transform into a monstrous spider-like creature. She possessed the ability to mutate anyone with an insect gene with a mutagenic enzyme through her kiss, as demonstrated when she forced a fateful kiss on Spider-Man, mutating him into a giant spider. She has military training and is adept in several forms of armed and unarmed combat.
