Madame Redback

Madame Redback is the woman who controls the SHADOW cell in Melbourne. A powerful, egocentric personality, she is obsessed with spiders and has molded SHADOW into the image of her beloved arachnids. She is without powers, but surrounds herself with powered spider-themed villains. Her rank and file agents are known as Wolf Spiders, her lieutenants are called Huntsmen, and an elite power-armored corps are referred to as Funnelwebs. She has influenced many organizations in Melbourne and beyond, both legal and criminal. Madam Redback plans on bringing all of the Australian SHADOW cells under her sway. Once that’s completed, she will make a strike at Overshadow himself, luring him into her web with her beauty and appeal, only to kill him and assume his role. Madam Redback conceals her face, so nobody knows who she is or what she looks like.
