Bailey’s journey over the past year has been to reintegrate into a Marvel Universe that has forgotten him. It was a struggle for him, but more recently, the Marvel lore was changed forever when Spider-Boy was re-connected to the Web of Life and Destiny, thus restoring everyone’s memories of Spider-Boy. This allowed Bailey to repair his relationship with Daredevil, who supposedly trained Spider-Boy before his memories were erased. Spider-Boy #12 sees the two return to their signature rooftop sparring sessions, until they are unexpectedly joined by Daredevil’s archrival, Bullseye.

One thing readers may be eager to discover is not only where Spider-Girl came from, but why she’s working with Bullseye. Keep in topic with what readers have seen from these Spider-Boy The series so far, there’s a good chance that Spider-Girl has been manipulated into fighting superheroes, Probably under the tutelage of Madame Monstrosity. Madame Monstrosity is a mad scientist who creates human-animal hybrids through people she captures and illegally experiments on. Among her horror creations was Spider-Boy, giving Bailey his powers.
Madam Monstrosity has spent the majority of the series sending her creations to combat Spider-Boy, going so far as to manipulate some of the creations to do her bidding. One prime example comes in the first issue, introducing the villain Hellifino, who was once a friend of Bailey’s named Ellie. Bailey was able to slowly bring Hellifino back to his side, and Spider-Boy’s ability to reason with his enemies may be what turns Spider-Girl into a hero. After all, he previously had it with Marvel’s new smartest hero, Toy Soldier.

Like Hellifino, Toy Soldier is introduced in the series as an enemy of Spider-Boy, but after talking sense into the aspiring hero, he starts against the side of villains and becomes an ally of Spider-Boy. This is a skill that Spider-Man has shown time and time again, and if Spider-Boy is able to use the skill again, he could make a friend of Spider-Girl. Whether Bullseye is some sort of mentor to Spider-Girl or perhaps a partner in crime acting on Madame Monstrosity’s agreement remains to be seen, but Madame’s involvement would certainly raise the stakes of Spider-Boy’s involvement.
