————————————————————
Born in Salem, Oregon to Henry and Dotte Web, Cassandra was cursed from the moment she was brought into this godforsaken world. Having been born blind, she would often throw fits and tantrums due to having to peer into an infinite abyss rather than getting to enjoy the world around her. It was often a site of frustration for her, and would often lead to her father beating her for being so unruly. If only her mother hadn’t been gripped by vice and mental illness, young Cassandra might have had at least one parental figure to turn to for guidance and comfort.
As Cassandra reached her teens, she began getting chronic migraines, often to the point that she’d uncontrollably vomit and be broken down into tears from the excrutiating pain. But said pain would give way to the first miracle in her tortuous life; Cassandra Web could finally see.
Of course, because fate is a cruel bitch, Cassandra couldn’t see in a way that was deemed normal. She could see fuzzy outlines of objects in the world, and even certain light sources. But there was no nuance to her sight. She couldn’t even see color or varying levels of light.
The intolerable migraines would return every so often, and sometimes to an ungodly level that would cause Cassandra to bleed from her nose, eyes, and ears. But with each bout of pain, came new abilities at her disposal. The most extreme of these abilities being telepathy.
Fast forward to a Cassandra fresh out of high school, and she had near mastery of all her newfound abilities. She’d even learned to evolve her sight, using a combination of astral projection and telepathy to help her see the world as everyone else saw it. The astral projection came in handy when she was alone, and her telepathy allowed her to see through the eyes of others when she was out and about.
Though, being able to see didn’t stop Cassandra’s father from beating the daylights out of her. At this point, her mother had long passed. And though Henry had taken his grief out on her, she’d had enough.
During the Winter of ‘61, Cassandra decided to use her astral projection to invade her father’s body and induce severe cardiac arrest. And after taking her father’s life, she decided to head north and hide in Vancouver, Canada.
Several years pass, and amidst the Cold War, Cassandra’s heart had finally warmed. After living a pseudo-normal life in Canada, she’d finally met a man and settled down and gotten married to an oil rig worker, living the life of domesticity that she’d always dreamed of.
But in 1982, Cassandra found out the hard way that she was not meant to live a happy life, as her husband’s oil rig got capsized and sank due to a storm off the coast of Newfoundland. And after allowing her grief to subside, she moved back to Salem in 1985.
Once Cassandra is back in Salem, she decides to seclude herself in an abandoned church, rarely to be seen by the outside world again. She would blindfold herself, and use her time in solitude to meditate and hine her powers further. Her new home would soon fade from reality, and would exist only outside of time and space, allowing her aging to halt at the age of 46.
Come 2016, Cassandra would awaken from her slumber after a fracture in the Multiverse would send her church crashing back into the physical world. The arrival and creation of a group of Spider-People would catch her attention, and from then on, she would dedicate herself to finding these individuals and helping them to safeguard the Multiverse under the alias Madame Web.
And now we come to today, where Madame Web has returned to meditating outside of space and time, being more active in her astral form. And to keep tabs on the Multiverse, she’s created many silk web clusters which represent each universe that she knows of thus far, and can even act as gateways to said universes, should she feel the need to intervene.
