Spyder is a fictional character in the Marvel Universe. He is the alien head of the Webb, an intergalactic trading organization. His principal interest, however, is the gaining of wealth through unscrupulous business practices.
Due to failed business dealings, the brother of the alien known as Gosamyr was forced to forfeit his freedom and that of his family members to Spyder. Spyder took Gosamyr as his personal slave. When he sent his minions to capture Lila Cheney, Gosamyr stowed away as an attempted escape. Cheney was captured, and Gosamyr befriended her friends the New Mutants. They all journeyed to Spyder's planet, but he was able to capture them. The New Mutants escaped and battled Spyder's forces, destroying his palace. The New Mutants and Gosamyr were ultimately able to escape thanks to Magik's teleportation power.
At some point Gosamyr's parents were kidnapped by the evil alien Spyder while they were still in their cocoon phase. Spyder threatened to destroy Gosamyr's parents if she did not aid him in destroying the New Mutants. Though she agreed and managed to infiltrate the team, she used her empathic powers to seduce both Cannonball and Sunspot into helping her free her parents. The female members of the group saw through her deception but, realizing she was a pawn, helped Gosamyr not only save her parents but stop Spyder in the process.
