“Sun-Spider was absolutely one of my favorite assignments on the film. I poured over Dayn Broder’s original designs to include as many design markers as I could, while trying to see if I could plus up the design. Had to make the wheelchair a mech that could follow her around.” — Kris Anka

I find it so fucking cool that Sun-Spider went from being someone's spidersona that was submitted in a marvel contest to getting a speaking role in a multi million dollar film in only 3 years.

“Sun-Spider (Horny Ver.) ” 2023-08-18

Finishing up some of the doodles that was done as part of the discussion of the subject on 4chan. On some of these I am running out steam a little. I think the original discussion was when the comic came out, later on I found out that the movie had much better designs. Although from what little i had glance from the comic she came across as an entitled little shit head that’s treat people like shit.

It’s probably sufficiently distinct at this point I could just draw a OC version of the spider-maid.

First off: unbelievably excited about Sun-Spider, AKA Charlotte Webber.

Second, my multiply-disabled chronic pain ass has zero patience for any of the fuckers who are talking shit about the concept (including people who say that someone who uses a chair part of the time is 'faking' and acting like this makes it bad rep when disabled folks have been telling you for decades that there are ambulatory wheelchair users).

third holy fuck i need both her dress and costume

The "Ascended" Spidersonas

For the third volume of Spider-Verse comics that came out in 2019, the concept of the "Spidersona" that was popularized by the release of the animated film Into the Spider-Verse was acknowledged by way of integrating three different Spidersonas each issue into the comic multiverse through short character profiles at the end of each issue. The former half of these 18 characters would even show up in the final issue of the run in person, with Sun-Spider getting some particularly special treatment afterwards.

Spidersona hero names are bolded and real names (if avaliable) are in parentheses.

Issue 1

Spider-Requiem (Polymnia Swan) of Earth-98117: Created by Cotton Valent from Thailand, Ms. Swan, named after the Greek Muse of Dance, hides her scarred face with her mask and uses her webs to control handmade puppets in combat.

Spinster of Earth-93191: Made by Antonio Demico of France with a design inspired by both the French Revolution and the original Madame Web, the Spinster can generate webs from her prehensile hair which she can then use to spy on conversation like a

V of Earth-43890: As written by V-0-3 from Poland, V is a robotic Spider who lives in Kyoto in the year 2177 who fights crime both physically and digitally, being able to connect herself to the internet to stop cybercrimes.

Issue 2

Spidair of Earth-91202: As written by Dice Shimi of France, Spidair was bitten by a spider from a space laborabtory and possesses thick skin that protects him from extreme temperature immunity as well as the ability to glow brightly to blind enemies.

Sea-Spider of Earth-19192: Being able to breathe underwater and wielding a hook and grappling pistols, the sona provided by the UK's James Gifford is a Spanish nobleman who sails the seas aboard his ship the Aracne.

Spider-Sting of Earth-38418: As explained by Tori Apiradee, Spider-Sting's powers are more acidic in nature, with webs that can erode concrete and bricks.

Issue 3

Sun-Spider (Charlotte "Charlie" Webber) of Earth-20023: Considered the breakout hit of these sonas, Dayna Broder's Sun-Spider has Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which makes her hyper-flexible at the cost of needing to use crutches and a wheelchair for stability. She has received her own dedicated story in Edge of the Spider-Verse as well as a vocal cameo in Across the Spider-Verse.

Garden-Spider (Petunia Parker) of Earth-71925: After being shrunken down in size, Petunia tends to her garden, swinging from the flowers like they were skyscrapers to fight against villainous insects like the Aphid. Her creator is Alyssa Ragni of the US.

White Widow (Venice Doadi) of Earth-23233: Carly Henson describes this sona as coming from a future timeline, possessing the ability to secrete toxins from her bare skin, which she coats both her webs and clawed fingers with.

still very much crying over sun-spider, a spidey with EDS whose suit is made of braces and webs come out her forearm crutches

[blueskyheadleft010]

Welp, didn’t know there was an EDS Spider-woman in the new Spider-man movie until now.

(whee! Look at her go on those things! :D)

Sun-Spider is pretty neat as an EDS superhero (even though I don’t really care that much about her story in the comic lol.) Still; really neat cameo in the movie. ^w^ It’s great to have some EDS representation. Honestly caught me off guard in a good way :D

Edge Of Spider-Verse (2022) #4

[chonkymoth]

I've said it before but I truly do love Sun-Spider (Charlotte Webber). Seeing not only a character but a certified, actual superhero (!!!) with the same diagnosis as me genuinely makes me tear up when I think about it. representation matters, y'all.

SPOILERS FOR ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE

Seriously, if you haven’t seen this movie and don’t wanna be spoiled turn back now.

So, I am absolutely in love with Sun-Spider. I learned recently that I have fibromyalgia (even though I’ve been dealing with the symptoms since like forever so I had a hunch). I’ve always had to deal with a lot of internalized ableism due to how most of my family treats disabilities.

I only recently started identifying myself as disabled, and let myself use mobility aids more often instead of just being in pain all the time. So imagine my surprise when I went to see Across the Spider-Verse with my mom and there was a disabled Spidey AND she was in a wheelchair. I nearly screamed.

That representation was so important to me, even if it was only a few seconds. It actually had such a big impact on me that I worked up the courage to talk to my mom about me feeling like I needed a wheelchair for the first time in a while after her repeatedly denying my disabilities for literal years, and she actually listened to me this time, and I genuinely feel like it’s thanks to Sun-Spider that I was able to stand up for myself and what I needed.

So thank you to Sun-Spider for being the Spidey that I needed.
