Charlotte Witter, the fourth Spider-Woman, is a fictional character, a supervillainess in the Marvel Comics universe. The character first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 2) #5.

Character biography

Charlotte Witter was a fashion designer (and granddaughter of psychic Madame Web) who also engaged in black market deals. Those dealings led her to work for Dr. Octopus. Through genetic manipulation, Dr. Octopus mutated her into a human/spider hybrid. He gave her the ability to absorb the powers of the previous Spider-Women in return for her agreeing to destroy Spider-Man. She managed to steal the powers of Jessica Drew, Julia Carpenter, Mattie Franklin, and Madame Web. During a climactic battle, Mattie reabsorbed all those powers, leaving Charlotte powerless. In their last encounter, it seemed Charlotte's powers had begun to return. Nevertheless, Charlotte was defeated by Mattie and institutionalized. She is currently in a coma in her grandmother's mansion.
