Just as Spider-Man has made his career off of his arachnid-like abilities, many of his allies and enemies made theirs off the backs of their own animalistic attributes. Unsurprisingly, many of these bestial menaces have origins that all tie back to the same villainous legacy. Unfortunately, many of these villains are back to torment the wall-crawler and his allies, and this time they come with clues regarding the origin of Spider-Man’s mysterious new sidekick, Spider-Boy. “The Mother of Invention” (by Dan Slott, Paco Medina, Erick Arciniega, and VC’s Joe Caramagna) from Amazing Spider-Man #31 introduces an idyllic and extravagant countryside estate, inhabited by a slew of anthropomorphic animal workers and servants. These human/animal hybrids are subjected to gruesome experiments and dissections at the hands of their creator, Madame Monstrosity. This new villain is not the only evil scientist in the Marvel Universe who has created her own breed of animalistic humans, but she may have been the first. Not only was Madame Monstrosity’s work the basis for so many others who followed in her footsteps, it may have given rise to Spider-Man’s newest sidekick.While Madame Monstrosity is just now making appearance in the Marvel Universe, her legacy has been an inextricable part of Spider-Man’s mythos from almost the beginning. In 1964’s Amazing Spider-Man #20 (by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko), Madam Monstrosity’s oldest son, Doctor Farley Stillwell, was contracted by J. Jonah Jameson to develop someone capable of taking down the wall-crawler. Farley and Jameson then enlisted Mac Gargan to undergo an experimental procedure that transformed him into the infamous supervillain known as the Scorpion. Whereas Gargan came out of the experience with a new set of powers for his trouble and Jameson managed to escape largely unscathed, Farley lost his life trying to undo his own work, and he wasn’t the last member of the Stillwell family to meet a similar fate.RELATED: A Classic Marvel Villain’s Legacy Lives on in Amazing Spider-ManRELATED: Spider-Man Shows How Far the Hellfire Gala Disaster’s Damage Goes
