History

Early Life

Jessica Drew lived in London, England with her father, Jonathan Drew. After her mom's death, Jonathan Drew took care of Jessica alone. After her father was murdered in her own house, Jessica ran away from home, leaving her starving on the streets, the same day Hydra planned an attack in the streets of England. They found Jessica and kidnapped her along with some other kids. Unaware to Jessica, she was implanted with Superhuman genetics and spider DNA which enhanced her abilities via a tarantula bite.

Hydra

Jessica's first mission as a Hydra Agent was to kill Spider-Man, a vigilante who has killed the former Hydra leader, Eric Sarkissian. Jessica eventually wounded Peter, but he survived by the aid of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Jessica's second mission was to gather intel from S.H.I.E.L.D. and infiltrate the them. While she was at it, she met Patsy Walker, another one of Madame Hydra's former captives.

Arachne

To get S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attention, Jessica and Patsy created a new persona for Jessica, who had similar traits to Spider-Man. Spider-Man eventually finds out about this. Though angered, Spider-Man forgave Jessica and asked her to make herself an original name, to differentiate her from him, thus calling herself Arachne.
