Spider Queen is the name of two different characters in Marvel Comics.
The first Spider Queen debuted in Fox Feature Syndicate's The Eagle #2 (Sept. 1941) and was created by Elsa Lesau, a pen name for brothers Louis and Arturo Cazeneuve. at The character was later revived and adapted for Marvel Comics' 1993 Invaders mini-series by Roy Thomas, Dave Hoover and Brian Garvey.
The second Spider Queen debuted in The Spectacular Spider-Man vol. 2, #15 (Aug. 2004) and was created by Paul Jenkins and Michael Ryan.
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 backup feature. Her final Golden Age appearance was in The Eagle #4 (January 1942).
Spider Queen was briefly revived in 1993, as part of a Marvel Comics' four-issue mini-series featuring the Invaders. The story pitted the World War II super-team against the Battle-Axis, a group of minor Golden Age superheroes who were also Nazi sympathizers. The Spider Queen joined the Battle Axis because she opposed Communism, and believed the Nazis would destroy Communism. The Battle Axis were eventually defeated, and Spider Queen (along with the others) were taken into custody. In 1959, she briefly allied with a secret American intelligence organization called Icon. She was again taken into custody by a team of heroes led by Nick Fury.
The Queen (Adriana Soria), a.k.a. the Spider Queen, is a fictional supervillain in Marvel Comics and an enemy of Spider-Man and Captain America. Queen first appears as the main antagonist of Spider-Man: Disassembled.
