Calypso has a complex and mysterious life. She was initially introduced as a partner for Kraven the Hunter in Amazing Spider-Man #209 & Spectacular Spider-Man #65, but wasn't seen as much of a threat to Spider-Man. She played a much larger part in "Torment", that ran in Spider-Man #1-5. Using a potion of a spider, reptile, blood, and body ashes, Calypso put some kind of spell on Spider-Man and his lethal foe, the Lizard. Spider-Man became poisoned, and on the brink of death, but he seemed to "rise above it all" in the end. Calypso was thought dead in an explosion, but returned in the pages of Daredevil, where she battled the Man without fear for two issues. |
| She later tried to reestablish control over the Lizard in Web Of Spider-Man #109, but this time she was unsuccessful and thought dead again. She was later revived again in the pages of Spider-Man Annual '97, where she used the body of Peter Parker's friend and co-worker Gloria Grant to revive her own body. She next was seen on the loose again in Spectacular Spider-Man #249, where she though her lover, Kraven was back from the dead. Unknown to her, it was the son of Kraven, Kraven II, and he rejected her affections. She later pit Kraven and Spider-Man against each other, but she was last seen dead, once again, at the hands of Kraven II. Will she be revived again? |
