Biography
Maria Aracely Josefina Penalba de las Heras was a young Mexican girl who was believed to had become the reincarnation of the Aztec god Huitzilopochtli. (Scarlet Spider v2 #14) To fulfill a prophecy and make Aztec underworld of Mictlan rise, the enigmatic Coyote apparently had Aracely's parents killed, and put her in with a truckload of illegal migrants the Lobo Cartel had sold to Roxxon for human testing. He ordered his men to leave the truck to bake in the desert sun for a day before taking it to Houston. As the rest of the people in the truck roasted alive, Aracely survived, but the trauma rendered her amnesiac. As she suffered, she heard a voice that promised her she would survive this ordeal - and that afterwards, she would make the world bleed. (Scarlet Spider v2 #15) Smuggled into Houston, Texas, everyone in the shipping container died except for Aracely, who was discovered barely clinging to life by the renegade Spider-Man clone Kaine. He brought her to Park Plaza Hospital, where she was treated by Dr. Donald Meland. She regained consciousness, bereft of her memories, just in time for the flame-wielding Salamander to attack the hospital, searching for her. (Scarlet Spider v2 #1) Aracely fled the Salamander, but he cornered her. Amused that she had no idea why he was going to kill her, Salamander prepared to land the final blow, but Kaine arrived, in a purloined Spider-Man costume, and took on the Salamander. The Salamander soon set him on fire; the Salamander pursued her again, and she fled, running into Kaine, who had been extinguished by the hospital's sprinklers. He tackled the villain out the window and defeated him in the streets of Houston, away from the hospital. Aracely returned to her bed, and began to recover. Kaine visited her that night, and was told by Dr. Meland and his husband, police officer Wally Layton, who told him that, as an illegal, she would be deported back to Mexico, where her enemies could find her - and that while the police could not do anything about it, a vigilante could. Kaine left, but after a short time he returned to take Aracely away to his hotel penthouse. (Scarlet Spider v2 #2)
