Cindy Moon is the daughter of scientists
Original Sin
Seven years later, during the "Original Sin" storyline, Spider-Man is exposed to the energies of the Watcher's eye. He receives a vision of the radioactive spider that bit him also biting Cindy, and learns what happened to her. Spider-Man goes on to search for Cindy. At the facility Ezekiel had kept her in, Cindy attacks Spider-Man in a fit of rage, saying that he has doomed them all. Spider-Man calms Cindy down by telling her that Morlun is dead. Cindy makes her way out of the facility to see the city of New York, stopping only to make a costume out of her webbing. She tells Spider-Man to refer to her as Silk.[12] Silk is heartbroken to find that her family has moved. Silk and Peter also find that they are powerfully attracted to each other due to their shared spider-sense. Silk finds out Morlun might be still alive, which causes her to attack Peter. However, their attraction makes them kiss. Peter stops as soon as Cindy begins to remove his mask, after which they move back to Peter and Anna Maria's apartment. Afterwards, Peter and Cindy go to the Fact Channel's news station where they are attacked by Black Cat and Electro. While Silk easily dodges Electro's lightning bolts thanks to her "hyper-spider-speed and senses," Spider-Man is not as lucky. Black Cat goes after the paralyzed superhero and begins to unmask him in front of live TV.[13] However, J. Jonah Jameson takes up too much space in front of the camera, preventing it (and anyone else) from seeing Peter's face. Silk spins a temporary mask for Peter and escapes with him to safety. At the waterfront where Parker Industries will be holding the demonstration for their new device meant to cure Electro, Cindy spins Peter some Electro-insulated webbing to prevent him from getting shocked again. When the fight begins, Black Cat sabotages the machine, causing Electro to go out of control and hit a helicopter. Hurriedly spinning webs, Silk catches the crashing helicopter. She then creates an insulated web-pod to contain an explosion of energy coming from Electro. The incident ends with a depowered Electro and a missing Black Cat. Afterwards, Cindy manages to get hired at the Fact Channel where she intends to use the information center to find her family.[13]
Spider-Verse
During the "
Silk solo series
After returning to New York, Silk begins a career of crime-fighting while searching for her family, as well as continuing her job as a Fact Channel intern. She also moves out of her friend's apartment and moves back into her old bunker, which she uses as a base of operations. Discovering that her family has no official records of being around, save for some old files, she goes to her old neighborhood and runs into her high school boyfriend, who is now engaged. Unbeknownst to Silk, two mysterious figures watch her whenever she is in the bunker.[17]
She repeatedly engages in battle against a costumed villain called Dragonclaw,[18][19] and occasionally, Black Cat.
Thinking she is not well, Spider-Man asks the Fantastic Four to check her. Silk consents to the checkup but becomes annoyed after finding out Peter revealed her whole history to them. Silk turns out to be physically fine but is dealing with anxiety issues and is referred to a therapist. She and Human Torch also go on a date of crime fighting despite Peter's protests.[20]
During the "Secret Wars" storyline, Cindy Moon defeats Dragonclaw. She later finds out he was in the debt of Black Cat and that was the reason for his misdeeds. She tries to help him out by enlisting the help of Spider-Man to find Black Cat's gang. In the ensuing showdown, Silk cuts her hair to escape Black Cat. At her job, J. Jonah Jameson takes a liking to her after she suggests that they start taking photos of Silk. One day, Jameson looks at Cindy Moon's screen and finds out she is trying to find her family. This leads her to tell him everything about her. Days later, it is the final incursion between Earth-616 and Earth-1610. J. Jonah Jameson gives Silk a case file of a young boy who seems to be her brother. She runs to the location on the file and meets her brother. As the world is ending, Silk tells him "I'm sorry. For everything. And I love you, Albert. I love you."[21]
As part of the "All-New, All-Different Marvel" branding, Silk starts tailing the Goblin Nation to avenge her brother, who was infused with Goblin Formula and now has no memory of what happened to their parents. After two weeks of searching, she webs a group of Goblin Nation robbers up and takes their loot, a safety deposit box containing Parker Industries tech. Having no idea what is in the safety deposit box, she returns to her now-employer Black Cat, who she is working with despite their earlier antagonism. Black Cat scolds her for showing mercy.[22]
During the events in the Spider-Women event, Cindy learns her counterpart from Earth-65 is the cause of Spider-Gwen's powers, and has traveled to Prime Earth to steal and reverse-engineer its technology for war mongering. Silk confronts Cindy-65 with Spider-Gwen, who loses her powers from Cindy-65's nanobots. Silk's name is tarnished as a villain, so much so that her S.H.I.E.L.D. handler Mockingbird thinks she actually did the crimes she is accused of. After Black Cat frees Silk from a S.H.I.E.L.D. prisoner convoy, Cindy chooses to stay with her in an undercover fashion. She later goes back to help Gwen and Jessica defeat Cindy-65. Silk, as a result of her Earth-65 counterpart's defamation, earns more of Black Cat's trust to gain deeper intelligence of her criminal operation, still intending to complete her mission and get whatever S.H.I.E.L.D. has on her family's whereabouts. Eventually, Black Cat discovers her alliance with Mockingbird,[23] In the ensuing fight, Cindy falls into a dumpster and is saved by Spectro, a mysterious figure who turns out to be her ex-boyfriend Hector.[24]
Hector died (while Cindy was being held in the bunker) when a neighbor attempted to summon a demon in his apartment block, resulting in him wandering the Material World and only being able to manage tangibility when in combat. Later, Cindy's colleagues Rafferty and Lola at Fact Channel News discover her secret identity. Cindy embraces this opportunity to open up to them, which helps relieve some of her feelings of loneliness. Rafferty reveals that they have discovered Dr. Kapoor's lab, which has been abandoned for months but has a secret benefactor continually paying the rent. The trio travels to the lab's location, which turns out to be a trap for Silk by a villain called Fang. At the lab, they discover a dimensional doorway that leads them to the Negative Zone.[25] At the Zone, Silk, Rafferty, and Lola relish the adventurous experience and befriend David, a medieval dragon. David explains the continuing war of the Red Knight against the evil forces of the Ash King and his army. He caught the scent of their arrival, which mimicked the arrival of the previous three (from the outer world) years ago. Cindy and company aid the Red Knight. After the battle is won and the Ash King is defeated, the Red King is revealed to be Cindy's mother Nari Moon.[26] Nari and her father, a prisoner of the Ash King, had originally traveled to the Zone in search of a blue substance they believed could help create an antidote that would have nullified Cindy's powers, thus removing the threat of the Inheritors. Cindy's father Albert Moon Sr. is soon liberated from his prison, and the five exit the Negative Zone through the dimensional doorway. Mockingbird gives the family an abode in which to live, and the family begin building bridges with each other. Unbeknownst to Cindy, Albert Moon Sr. is in possession of the blue substance and delivers it to Fang.[27]
During the "
Following the incident, Cindy quits her job at the Fact Channel. After a discussion with her brother, therapist, and helping a child free his kite in the graveyard where Mattie's grave is, she decides to enlist in S.H.I.E.L.D. academy.[32] With S.H.I.E.L.D.'s technology, she investigates her father and eventually confronts him about his secret meetings with Fang. Fang worked for Ezekiel and was the leader of a splinter group of the spider society, and while she claims to Mr. Moon that she will be "curing" Cindy of her powers, her actual plan is to steal Cindy's powers and use those powers to take over the Spider Society. After inheriting Ezekiel's fortune and drugging Mr. Moon, she has kept her eyes on Cindy since her time in the bunker. Silk defeats Fang with the help of Hector, and her father accepts her for who she is. With her family closer, her job at S.H.I.E.L.D., and with Rafferty and Lola married, Cindy feels happiness after a long time.[33]
The Protectors
Silk joins other Asian American superheroes (Amadeus Cho, Shang-Chi, Ms. Marvel, Jimmy Woo and S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Jake Oh) for a fundraiser in Flushing, Queens.[34] Later, while spending the night out in Koreatown, Manhattan, the group is ambushed by the alien Prince Regent Phalkan and his small army from Seknarf Seven. Silk and Company fight off the invaders before they and a large group of bystanders are teleported near Seknarf Seven. Phalkan demands that the group offer a few people for food within a time limit. Dubbing their group "The Protectors", they rally the bystanders into working together to escape, while leading an attack against the aliens. Phalkan and his forces are eventually defeated. The Alpha Flight Space Program arrives to rescue them and arrest Phalkan, who was exiled from Seknarf Seven for treason.[35]
Post-solo series
During the
War of the Realms
After taking part in a demonstration for Jimmy Woo's Pan-Asian School for the Unusually Gifted in
New Agents of Atlas
Shortly after the War of the Realms event, Silk and some members of the new agents fight in Madripoor one of Sindr's remaining dragons and encounter Isaac Ikeda, the self-proclaimed "Protector of Pan", who uses technologically advanced weaponry to slay the dragon and teleport away with its corpse. Cindy then goes with Aero and Wave to Tokyo to attend one of Luna's rehearsals. At Luna's studio, the four are interrupted when a white light engulfs the city. After reuniting with the other Atlas agents and Giant-Man, they discover the cities they were in (along with other Asian, Pacific and predominantly Asian cities outside of Asia) have been merged and connected together with portals made from Ikeda's technology. Mike Nguyen of the Big Nguyen Company reveals himself to be behind the newly merged city, "Pan", which he states for 24 hours would allow every citizen to easily explore each other's respective cities without any political and economic restrictions. Shortly after the announcement, Pan is beset by wyverns, which the agents and Ikeda confront.[41] After driving the wyverns off, the group is praised by Nguyen for their heroics, who offers to enlist the agents as Pan's protectors along with Ikeda as well as giving them lifetime Pan Passes. A suspicious Amadeus rejects the offer, saying that the group are Agents of Atlas. During a banquet in the Mumbai section of Pan, Amadeus confides with Cindy about his suspicions.[42] Cindy, Brawn, Luna and Giant-Man team up with Ikeda to save several Madripoorian refugees from sea serpents; the refugees were arrested earlier by the Pan Guard before Brawn and Luna intervened. Nguyen clears up the misunderstanding, claiming that the Madripoorians were out of range during Pan's activation and the Pan Guard mistakenly believed they were trespassing with help from invading serpents; Nguyen has the refugees escorted to the Pan Grand Hotel as special guests. When Amadeus summons the team to the Atlas secret bunker in Seoul, they are unexpectedly joined by Ikeda, who Raz invited. When Amadeus objects, Cindy notes that her spider-sense did not go off, making Ikeda trustworthy. When Ikeda is interrogated about his and Nguyen's motives, Issac explains that he was hired by Nguyen due to his expertise in fighting dragons, but offers little about Nguyen. Isaac has his own suspicions of Mike and suggests the agents join him as Pan's protectors as it would be easier for them to gather information about the Big Nguyen Company from the inside. Amadeus reluctantly agrees to have the team continue helping Pan while investigating Nguyen; when the team splits up to different Pan sectors, Amadeus and Silk go to the Pan Grand Hotel and check on the Madripoorian refugees. Unbeknownst to the agents, their actions are being monitored by Jimmy and Mr. Lao, the dragon adviser to the Atlas Foundation.[43] During their investigation, Brawn, Silk and White Fox discover that the central heart of Pan does not correspond with any known location on Earth. Amadeus deduces the city is in a separate dimension. He becomes more suspicious when one of the refugees tells him and Silk about dragons roaring from Nguyen's personal tower.[44] Shang-Chi discovers a photograph of Jimmy and Nguyen together in Jimmy's office in the Mumbai sector of Pan and finds a laptop that broadcasts the sound of a dragon's roar from Nguyen's tower in the Heart of Pan. Silk, Brawn, Sword Master and White Fox break into Nguyen's tower and discover a sea serpent imprisoned in a lab, while Shang-Chi and Crescent discover a secret tunnel in Jimmy's office that takes them to the Atlas Foundation's headquarters in the Pan sector of San Francisco, where they come face to face with Jimmy and Mr. Lao. Nguyen denies that he and Jimmy are in league with each other, other than signing nonaggression treaty between Atlas and Pan, which the agents just violated. Nguyen explains that since dragon scales contain magical properties associated with portals and teleportation, the imprisoned dragon was having its scales harvested to supply Pan's portal and teleportation technology. Suspecting the serpent's identity, Lao and Jimmy order the agents to free her lest awakening the wrath of every dragon on the planet, while Nguyen and Ikeda argue that releasing the dragon will cause the portals to collapse, displacing everyone who had settled in the portal-city. Before a decision can be made, a storm begins engulfing the city. While Ikeda reveals the imprisoned dragon, which he captured a year ago for terrorizing the Mediterranean, is from Atlantis, an enraged Namor emerges from the waters off of Pan's coast and begins invading the city.[45]
Atlantis Attacks
In the Atlantis Attacks storyline, the New Agents of Atlas are summoned by Brawn during his confrontation with Namor. Namor demands the group to return the dragon stolen by the Big Nguyen Company in a day or else face the wrath of Atlantis before making his retreat. The New Agents are then introduced to the original Agents of Atlas by Jimmy.[46] Although the dragon is safely released from captivity, it promptly attacks Atlantis upon returning home. Atlantis' scientists discover the source of its behavior to be an implant embedded in its scales, Namor accuses Brawn to be behind the deception and flies to Pan for revenge, where he violently ambushes Brawn while he and Silk are on patrol and proceeds to attack Nguyen in his tower. After the Pan Guard and Brawn manage to push Namor's assault back to the ocean, Nguyen reveals to the Agents that he has recruited the Sirenas, the longtime enemies of Atlantis, to help defend Pan.[47] After Namor is overpowered and captured by the Sirenas, a meeting is held between Atlas, the Pan guard and the Sirenas. Rather than siding with either the Atlanteans or the Sirenas, Silk chooses to stay and defend Pan. When Ikeda and Wave announce their intention to side with the Sirenas, the disagreement escalates into a brawl. During the commotion, Namor is able to break free from his prison.[48] He subdues the combined group and flies back to the heart of Pan, threatening Nguyen and Pan's citizens as retribution for attacking his kingdom. A hologram of Nguyen offers an alliance between Pan, Atlantis and the Sirenas to Namor; before the king can retort the recovered Agents are able to catch up to Namor and resume fighting him. Brawn talks down the combatants and confronts Woo over the secrets that he has withheld from the team. Woo reveals that for thousands of years, ancient dragons have served as advisors for human rulers, with the Atlas Foundation having its own dragon, Mr. Lao, serving him as well. As fighting each other openly would raze the planet, dragons have used humans as proxies in their own personal conflicts, making them responsible for almost every major war in history. Woo is content with this balance of power, but Nguyen suggests uniting the world under Pan, proposing to Namor and Woo that by harvesting the power of their dragons, they could overtake the rest of them. As Namor returns to Atlantis with Namora, Venus and Aero, the rest of the Agents uncover Nguyen in his personal bunker and confront him. Having anticipated this, Nguyen attaches a Sirena tech implant onto Amadeus, transforming him into the Hulk.[49] Under Nguyen's control, the Hulk makes quick work of the Agents. To prevent any further invasions against Pan, Nguyen commands the Hulk to kill Namor, much to the shock and anger of Pan's citizens. In Atlantis, just as Wave is able to get Namor and Carina to come to a truce, Silk warns the group a mind-controlled Hulk is on his way to destroy Atlantis. With help from the Agents, Namor manages to isolate himself and the Hulk to a deserted island two miles from the Heart of Pan. Despite Namor and the Agents succeeding in reverting Hulk back into Brawn and freeing him from Nguyen's control, the shockwaves emitted by Amadeus as the Hulk have created a tsunami that is heading towards the Heart of Pan. Silk helps the citizens find shelter as Brawn and Namor use their powers to weaken the tsunami. The city is saved, although Nguyen dies protecting a Madripoorian refugee and her young son. One month later at the Heart of Pan, Woo announces to the Agents and Pan's new leadership that Atlantis and the Sirenas have signed a non-aggression pact, recognizing Pan as an independent nation. Still feeling guilty for Nguyen's death and angered with Woo's machinations, Amadeus quits the team but reassures Silk that his comm will still be open to her.[50]

Cindy gained her superpowers when she was bitten by a radioactive spider.[51] These abilities are similar to the ones Peter Parker possesses. Cindy has superhuman strength, speed, durability, reflexes, and equilibrium. On their first meeting, Peter observed that she was even faster than him, though not quite as strong. Her "Spider Sense" is called "Silk Sense" and is far stronger than Peter's.[12][13][52] Cindy has the ability to cling to most surfaces.[53] She also has the ability to shoot webs out of her fingertips.[54][55] Additionally, she has an eidetic memory.[19][54]

Earth-65
In the crossover event Spider-Women, it is revealed that Cindy Moon of the Spider-Gwen universe is the head of a nefarious spy organization called S.I.L.K., the romantic partner of Matt Murdock / Kingpin, and the main antagonist of the event. Cindy of Earth-65 almost had a similar spider bite accident to the main one, but a teacher swatted it with a newspaper. Dissatisfied with her life, she joins S.H.I.E.L.D. as a researcher in spiders. There was a spider-related incident in which Jesse Drew was nearly killed, but Cindy's research saves his life and gives him spider powers, with Agent Drew making it up to Cindy by becoming one of her top agents. She eventually recovers the altered spider back from S.H.I.E.L.D. with Jesse's help and releases it into the open, where it bit Gwen Stacy and led to her becoming Earth-65's Spider-Woman. During the Spider-Women event, Jesse steals Gwen's interdimensional teleporter and travels to Earth-616, where she steals a large amount of technology while framing her 616 counterpart. When she encounters Gwen and her counterpart, she uses her technology to take away Gwen's powers. When she returns to her hideout after Jesse's betrayal, she is ambushed by Jessica Drew, Gwen, and her counterpart and is defeated.
