Silk, whose real name is Cindy, was created by author Dan Sloat and artist Humberto Ramos. She first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man Vol.3, #1 in April 2014. Cindy was Peter Parker’s classmate and was bitten by the same radioactive spider that gave Spider-Man his powers. Unlike Peter, Cindy is immediately kidnapped by Ezekiel Sims, a man of similar abilities, and placed in a cell to protect her from the evil Morel.

In this television adaptation, Cindy is scheduled to spend time abroad doing independent field research before returning home to find her family gone.

Silk’s return to the Marvel Universe, whether in a series on Disney+ or on another platform, could delve deeper into her character.
