Baroness Taklachak, possibly hailing from India, was the high priestess of an ancient cult that worshiped the Hindu spider god, Durga. She and her cult operated out of the old Bostwick Estate on Long Island. After murdering a crime fighter, the cult came into conflict with Hydroman. They managed to capture Hydroman twice. While the cult members were ultimately brought to justice, the Spider Woman escaped. The cult used what appeared to be actual spider webbing. They also carried conventional weapons such as guns and knives, and wore spider rings capable of injecting them with fatal black widow venom if caught. Spider Woman was a scientist who possessed a virus which turned human blood into black widow venom. The Spider Woman apparently had the ability to spin a line of actual spider webbing, which allowed her to repel down the side of a building. She enjoyed killing people in the most fearful manner imaginable, and seemed intent on mass poisonings.
