[edit] Fictional character biography
An undercover FBI agent assigned to investigate the new Doctor Octopus, Carolyn Trainer, Joe Wade was discovered and forced to undertake a virtual reality graft. Carolyn turned him into a hard-light holographic duplicate of the Scarlet Spider, in order to ruin his name. In his Scarlet Spider guise, Joe was actually trapped in a virtual reality chamber, and his thoughts powered the hologram. Despite the fact that his mind powered the hologram, Joe was unable to stop himself from committing acts of violence. When the real Scarlet Spider, Ben Reilly attacked Doctor Octopus's lair, he damaged the machine while Joe was still inside. The damage to the virtual reality chamber caused the grafts to malfucntion, and Joe became a real mechanized Scarlet Spider with amazing powers. As the new Scarlet Spider, Joe was superhumanly strong and fast, he had claws on his fingertips and could fire webbing from his wrists, crawl up walls, and fire laser 'stingers' from his eyes.It took both Ben Reilly (in the guise of Spider-Man) and the New Warriors to stop the cybernetic Scarlet Spider, and the FBI put him in custody and had him undergo medical treatments to remove the technology.

In the MC2, Felicity Hardy took the identity of Scarlet Spider to both be a partner to Spider-Girl, and to irritate her mother Felicia Hardy. While she had no actual powers, she used her amazing gymnastic talent and martial arts skills, along with an array of spider-themed weaponry to fight crime, until several near death experiences caused her to give up the identity.
