Background

Silver Sable is a self-described mercenary, specializing in high-cost retrievals of people or objects. She leads a highly-trained, heavily-armed militia group called the Wild Pack. In the past, Sable and her team have attempted to apprehend the Human Torch, Spider-Man, Jack O'Lantern, Speed Demon and Venom, among others. Her company, Silver Sable International, is the cornerstone of her nation's economy.

The Wild Pack was started by Silver's father to track down escaped Nazi war criminals, and was not originally meant to be a money-making venture. As a young child, Silver witnessed the murder of her mother after she compromised one of Wild Pack's raids. The experience made her hair turn prematurely silver, and caused her to always hold emotions at bay. After her father's presumed death, Silver took over the Wild Pack and molded it into an elite strike force available to the highest bidder. She has not forgotten the Wild Pack's origins, however, and still goes after organizations she considers threats to freedom.

Silver and Spider-Man first crossed paths when Spider-Man unknowingly rescued the jewel thief Black Fox from the Wild Pack. Over the years Spider- Man has occasionally worked for Silver Sable, most notably in Amazing Spider- Man 320-325, where he traveled to Symkaria to try and foil the assassination of that country's king. The two do not always get along. Silver thinks Spider-Man is an amateur who doesn't market his super powers properly, and Spider-Man objects to profitability as the main criteria for deciding who is and isn't rescued. It was also a little awkward that Sable employed Sandman as an operative.
