When Spider-Woman proved popular enough to exist for more than a story however, this origin was partially retconned almost immediately. Her next appearance, in Marvel Two-In-One #33, saw Jessica express doubt over herself having never truly being human, until it’s revealed to her by Mordred the Mystic that she is a human being, her memories of being a Spider tampered with by Hydra. After she helps The Thing and the Human Torch protect Mordred from sinister magical elementals, he offers to take her under his wing to hone her powers.
