History
Aaron Aikman seemingly had a similar history as his Earth-31411 counterpart.
Origins
Dr. Aikman was a scientist working for Ikegami Medical Center. When he was twenty, his boss Dr. Kaori Ikegami's daughter Hannah, was hit by a car and fell into a coma. Aaron worked closely alongside her to restore her to health, and the two ended up entering into a romantic relationship.
At twenty-four, he secretly experimented on himself by merging his genes with spider DNA. He was quickly confronted by Spider-Man and Madame Web. She revealed that they had been waiting for his transformation and offered him a place at both Parker Industries and Spider-Man Incorporated. Aaron worked part time at Parker Industries Medical and used the company's resources to create equipment such as the Spider-Armor MK VI. With this, he became the superhero Cyber-Spider.
Invasion of Atlas City
When he was twenty-six, Kaori broke up with him out of the blue and told him she didn't want his help with Hannah. Around this time, he started battling a kidnapper called Naamurah. A year passed, but Cyber-Spider couldn't defeat her nor find the kidnapped victims. After upgrading his web-fluid, he thought he finally captured her, only for it to be another being named Daarroh. Taking him to the hospital, it was revealed Daarroh had possessed one of the abductees and cybernetically augmented him. Aaron recognized that the device used to possess the victim was similar to a neuro-interface he had previous been working on.
Cyber-Spider confronted Kaori and she revealed she had created the device to cure her daughter. She also created a mechanical mech to compensate for her daughter's decreased muscle mass. Hannah was unfortunately quickly possessed by Naamurah. The being convinced Kaori to create more mechanical suits and neuro-interfaces, gradually creating an army.
Aaron called Spider-Man Incorporated and the Spider-Friends to help him stop the interdimensional beings. The spiders were overrun, until he realized he could use Madame Web's abilities to send the beings back to the Dream Dimension. The pair and a squad of heroes returned to his lab in order to use the neuro-interfaces to lock them back up. They were followed by Naamurah and Aaron was barely able to trap her. He took out the neuro-interface and connected it to Madame Web. Using her astral projection, they were able to send out feedback that freed all the abductees and closed their entry point.
Aftermath
After the invasion, the possessed all had to be hospitalized. They showed various degrees of recovery from their traumas. Among those that made a full recovery was Hannah. As Kaori had turned herself in for her part in Naamurah's atrocities, Hannah was left in Aaron's care. He decided to quit the Ikegami Medical Center and start full time for Parker Industries.
Cyber-Spider would later work with Lian Tang to create a new Spider-Cycle. She became attracted to his civilian identity and asked him out, and the pair would become exclusive.
