Biography

Origin

Her spider form in Spider-Island v1 #5.

She became among the participants in the attempt to recreate the Project Rebirth results due to her Mutant genes that resulted in her developing into a new phylum known as Homo Insectus but the military shut down the project and she was left in an asylum over the years. (Spectacular Spider-Man v2 #18)

Spider-Island

She went into hiding where she hid in an abandoned facility that was once managed by Project: Rebirth. Whilst there, Steve Rogers came to the facility to check if she was there with Adriana ambushed him where she managed to knock him unconscious. With the aid of the Jackal, she had Rogers transformed into a half-spider monster as her consort with him being known as the Spider-King. She then had the Jackal create a virus in the form of mutated bed bugs that were released into New York City. The creature bit many ordinary humans and imparted them abilities similar to Spider-Man with this developing into an epidemic. Over time, the virus mutated and reached its third stage where it transformed the infected into giant mutated spiders that were completely subservient to the powers of the Queen. As a result, this allowed Adriana Soria to quickly come into control over New York. (Amazing Spider-Man v1 #670)

During the fight, her body succumbed to a mutation leading to her a giant spider-monster where she was able to fight against the various superheroes against her. This was until Spider-Man decided to deprive her of her power by having Octobots that were filled with the cure for the spider-flu. The robots then spread the cure turning the transformed humans back to normal thus depriving the Queen of her strength leading to her moving to stop Spider-Man. In this moment, she was weak enough to allowing Kaine to deal a fatal blow to her thus fulfilling the prophecy from Madame Web of Spider-Man killing the threat posed by the Spider Queen.
