Introduced in the pages of 1983’s Marvel Team-Up #131 (by J.M. DeMatteis, Kerry Gammill, Mike Esposito, and Bob Sharen), Lorina Dodson was born to rich parents who only ever wanted to protect their little girl, even if it meant keeping her from coming into her own as a person. Under their strict care, Lorina developed a deep fascination for fantastical works, especially Alice in Wonderland. When married life didn’t suit her, Lorina decided to embark upon a new journey of her own by killing her husband and passing his death off as an accident.
Using her ill-gotten gains and vast inheritance, Lorina amassed a variety of high-tech weapons and gadgets that she used to reinvent herself as the White Rabbit. As a small-time supervillain, Lorina robbed fast food restaurants and similarly small targets. Eventually, this landed her on the radar of none other than Spider-Man, whom went on to become the one hero who the White Rabbit could never quite escape.

Spider-Man learns about the harrowing origins behind his greatest foes’ villainous transformations — and none of it was their fault.
In more recent years, the White Rabbit has become a permanent fixture in the criminal empire of Lonnie Lincoln, better known as Tombstone. Throughout the course of the recently concluded Gang War storyline, White Rabbit acts as both muscle and a tertiary leader of Tombstone’s forces. She has also continued to develop her own criminal enterprises, the latest of which saw her attempt to establish a franchise of supervillains in the form of the Silicon Six who were effectively renting their powers from within her stockpile of gear and weapons.

Spider-Man
Since his first appearance in 1962, Spider-Man has almost always been Marvel Comics’ most popular character. Known for his sense of humor and bad luck as well as his selflessness and super-strength, Spider-Man has helmed countless titles over the years, Spider-Man’s most prominent comics include The Amazing Spider-Man, Web of Spider-Man, and Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man.
Peter Parker was the original Spider-Man but the Spider-Verse has become an important part of the character’s lore in recent years. Multiversal and future Spider-Men include Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, Miguel O’Hara and Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham. This provided the premise for the popular Spider-Verse film trilogy, which makes Miles its primary hero.
Spider-Man is also the basis of several live-action film franchises and numerous animated television series. He is one of the most recognizable characters in the world. While he’s changed a lot over the decades, Steve Ditko and Stan Lee gave the world an unforgettable hero when they created Spider-Man.
