Background

Becoming Arana (Spanish for "spider"), she and Miguel had formed a team with resident hacker Ted Mankowski and aspiring executive Nina Smith in the efforts of the Spider Society to protect the world. She designed her own costume and the bola which she carries into battle on her own, not satisfied with the options WebCorps presented her. To cover for her activities, she had become an intern at WebCorps to help explain why she would be there so often. As if juggling being a super hero and teenager weren't enough, she had to also constantly resist the urges of the brutal spirit of "the Hunter" that threatened to emerge in the midst of combat.

Arana learned that she was not a true hunter as believed by Miguel. It was revealed that no hunter before her ever had a carapace like hers. When Miguel fell in battle with the Sisterhood as they tried to resurrect their own hunter, the spirit of the hunter returned to its rightful place; inside Nina. With Miguel dead and her reasons for being with WebCorps gone, Anya quit and has gone on to fight for the greater good on her own.

With the initiation of the Superhero Registration Act, Arana decided to register to become an official hero after Ms. Marvel and Wonder Man tracked her down. They now teach her in the use of her powers by letting her tag along on missions including the capture of Shroud and Arachne.

During a battle with the Doomsday Man, Arana was gravely injured by her carapice being forcibly removed.
