She is typically portrayed as an elderly woman with myasthenia gravis connected to a life support system resembling a spiderweb. This clairvoyant and precognitive mutant has played a significant role in the Spider-Man comic book series, offering her powers to aid the iconic web-slinger in his missions.
The character of Madame Web has also made appearances in various Spider-Man related media, with Rachel Dratch voicing a character loosely based on Madame Web in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023).
