During her short tussle with Spider-Man when he broke her out of her bunker, she also manages to easily dodge all of his web-shots thanks to her Spider-Sense, which Peter describes as "Matrix/Bullet-Time good!" Cindy – “That’s a good question. I – I don’t know what came over me either. I felt something…basic. A primal connection. Is it because we were bitten by the same spider?”

Spider-Man and Betty Brant: Complicated Affairs of the Heart uses one of the oldest characters in Spider-Man’s character history to explore everything from first crushes and first dates to the confusing pull of falling in love with someone who’s married. Cindy began her solo crime-fighting career as Silk and returned to her old bunker to be used as a base of operations to learn more and search her family. Noticing that her family had no official records of being around, save some old files, Cindy went to her old neighborhood for memories. Here she ran into Hector, an old boyfriend from her years of high school who is now engaged.Operating on base instinct and driven by passion, they begin to pull each other’s clothes off as they kiss. Peter thinks, “There’s a moment where I can’t even remember my own name. Let alone hers. I’m Spider-Man and she’s…Silk. Cindy Moon. Just met her. Don’t know anything about her…other than I can’t stop! I can’t let go! I can’t…” On the one hand, this obviously reminds the reader how little they know of each other. But it also captures the feeling of that moment when we’re lost in passion. This captures those kisses, those touches, that shoot through your body like lightening and fry everything in your mind except the here, the now, and the burning desire that pulls you to the other. Have you ever just been drawn to someone? It’s like this other-worldly force has grasped you and you couldn’t fight it even if you wanted to. Damn! What an amazing feeling! You’re so alive! Cindy gained similar abilities to Peter Parker when she was bitten by the same radioactive spider that gave him his amazing abilities. Obviously, biologically speaking, to a degree this is natural. We’re programmed to enjoy sex because it’s required for the survival of our species. If we don’t make more little versions of us, we die out. But there are certain people we encounter in our lives who just turn us on and set this off in a completely inexplicable way. Peter and Cindy hardly know each other. There is no emotional connection between them outside of (presumably) a bit of empathy. There is no relationship here – not even the foundation for one. You couldn’t even call them friends. They’ve just met and BOOM. The people we meet in our lives who do this to us can prove as confusing and complicated as they are fun. Thirteen years ago, during a demonstration on the use of radioactive rays at a science exhibit, a spider was accidentally exposed to the radiation and absorbed large amounts of it. In its dying moments, the arachnid bit the nearest living thing to it, Peter Parker. As a result, the young teenager gained amazing powers and become the amazing Spider-Man!

In this reality, Cindy was a high school student. She was thought to be deceased but was later revealed alive when she was accepted into Stark Camp. Earth-19925

Silk is a playable character in the game. She is a speed type, and her description in the game says: As a teenager, Cindy Moon was bitten by the same spider that bit Peter Parker, giving her powers similar to those of the Amazing Spider-Man: powers of adhesion, a unique precognitive awareness of danger, and the ability to weave spider webs from her fingertips, she now swings through the skies of New York City as Silk!

It’s time for the fifth installment in my li’l series using only Spider-Man comics and characters to examine the variety of romantic archetypes we find in literature (illustrating the variety of romantic experiences we find in life). Cindy Moon attended the same scientific demonstration Peter Parker did when he was bitten by the radioactive spider that gave him his powers. Before it died, the spider would bite Cindy, too. She gained the same basic powers as Peter – albeit with a more attuned spider-sense, faster speed, and the ability to spin organic webbing from her fingertips – and would eventually take on the name “Silk” and become a superhero in her own right. She and Peter also have an overwhelming physical/sexual attraction to each other. Their relationship, such as it was, represents those “purely physical” attractions we have in our lives. It’s fun and it’s so hot but it was never really going to last nor was there any way they could’ve ever been “the one” as it was only ever just a physical thing. Spider-Man and Danielle: Wait…Is This A Date? dives into those oh-so-awkward questions that haunt the beginning of any would be romantic relationship were you try to figure out if you’re on a date with someone or just hanging out and all the discomfort and relief trying to figure that out can bring.

Paradoxically to her speed her strength is not on par with Peter and is admittedly weaker in this regard. Alternate Versions Earth-65 Cindy and Peter navigate their sexual tension while fighting off Hydra thugs. / Photo Credit – Marvel Comics They met an hour ago, maybe two. Cindy’s grieving and furious with Peter. Peter’s confused. But they CAN’T KEEP THEIR HANDS OFF EACH OTHER. The physical attraction, the sexual chemistry, is electric. It’s magnetic. It overrides everything else. It’s unstoppable. They are just pulled towards each other. Cindy was set to play a large role in the upcoming Spider-Verse event. Right when Spider-Man released her from her bunker, Morlun is seen at an unknown location suddenly catching her scent. He referred to her as "the Spider-Bride" and "the spinner at the center of the web," and then declared that the great hunt begins. Adjusting to normal life, Cindy lived with her brother and began a job as a journalist for J.J Jameson. She went on some adventures as Silk during this time, involving fighting a cat demon and being betrayed by her "frenemy". Sixth Volume
