Spider Queen was the secret identity of Sharon Kane, a "sworn enemy" of all wrongdoers. She fought crime in a red skirt and mask, light blue blouse open to the navel, and yellow sash, cape, and boots. She also wore a special pair of bracelets that fired spider webbing. Her detective boyfriend was Mike O'Bell.
Spider Queen appeared in only three issues of "The Eagle", and that only as a back up feature. Her final Golden Age appearance was in "The Eagle" #4 (January 1942).
Marvel Comics
Spider Queen was briefly revived in 1993, as part of a Marvel Comics' four-issue mini-series featuring the Invaders. The story, written by Roy Thomas and drawn by
Dave Hoover , pitted theWorld War II super-team against the Battle-Axis, a group of minor Golden Age superheroes who were alsoNazi sympathizers. The Spider Queen joined the Battle Axis because she opposedCommunism , and believed the Nazis would destroy Communism. The Battle Axis were eventually defeated, and Spider Queen (along with the others) were taken into custody. She has not been seen since.Powers and abilities
Spider Queen was an accomplished acrobat. She wore special bracelets that could shoot out a web-like substance (similar to
