One day, Dee Dee is messing around in Dexter's lab (as per usual.) when she comes across a new invention of his; a radioactive ray emitter. She presses the button to activate it and watches the beam of pure radiation come to life in front of her. But then, a spider lowers itself into the ray, becoming seethed with high levels of radioactivity. The spider lands on her hand, bites her, grants her the powers, the usual origin story.

Dee Dee then becomes Spider-Woman (her costume would reflect Spider-Gwen's.) and begins to fight crime.

Meanwhile, at the lab, Dexter is testing out a brand new harness complete with mechanical tentacles designed to safely handle radioactive material. He tests the level of radiation that the arms can withstand in the same radioactive ray emitter that Dee Dee was messing with earlier. But something goes wrong and an explosion occurs, destroying the lab, Dexter's house, and killing Dexter and Dee Dee's parents.

Dexter survives, but when he awakens in the hospital, he finds that his mechanical arms have been fused to his body, and he goes mad, turning him into this reality's version of Doctor Octopus.
