As such, the old woman is connected to a life support system that, wouldn’t ya know it, resembles a spiderweb. She also suffers from a chronic neuromuscular disease (myasthenia gravis, to be precise) that has left her blind and unable to move.

Born Cassandra Webb, the character is actually a mutant (a detail that will surely get written out) with precognitive powers tied to spider-based heroes.

(Let’s just call it the Spider-Verse and move on, yes?).
