Golden Age Origin Edit

Tom Hallaway, a rich playboy, wanted to eliminate crime from the world, so he became the arrow wielding hero known as the Spider, assisted by his valet and sidekick Chuck. The Spider drove a customized car known as the "Black Widow". He was willing to kill his opponents. He had no powers, but he was an expert archer and even had a special arrow used to disarm called the Spider Seal. His villains included Iggie the Yogi, the Crow, the Yellow Scorpion, the Skeleton, Weasel Nolan, and the Falcon.

Notes Edit

• While the golden age version is public domain, all subsequent villainous versions of the character (and his successors) published by DC Comics are NOT.

• The character is commonly mistaken as "Alias the Spider"; that was the name of his series, but not that of the character.
