Origin[]
Spider-Dan was a an arachnid themed member of the Marvelous Heroes superhero team.
His teammates include The Wisp, Great-Big Huge Man, Captain Americuss, Scrap-Iron Man, Mr. Fantabulous, Thore the God Thenthathional, Thang, Hunk, Spider-Dan, and Invisibubble Girl.
When the Green Trashcan, self-proclaimed leader of the Bestest League of America, went to meet with the Marvelous Heroes at their headquarters to discuss the superhero strike. Mr. Fantabulous attempted to be a voice of reason and prevent a conflict, but the other Marvleous Heroes kick their rival hero out of their headquarters. This prompted the Green Trashcan to gather the BLA for battle.
When the two groups begin to battle it out Spider-Dan is seen in the line-up of Marvelous Heroes and begins to fight one of the BLA by putting them into a headlock. However before the fight could continue further, the respective union presidents of both super hero teams arrive to tell them the strike is over due the US President and the Comics Code declaring the strike unethical.
