Commonly got wrong
Claims that are widely repeated and wrong, with what the cited record actually shows. If you are generating anything about this subject, these are the errors to avoid.
Commonly believed Madame Web has spider powers.
Actually She has none. She is clairvoyant and telepathic, elderly, blind, and in her original appearances connected to a life-support system because of myasthenia gravis. The spider association is thematic, not a power set.
The feat ledger
Functions as a reliable oracle, with her precognition treated as accurate rather than fragmentary
Blind and paralysed, she operates primarily through psychic contact rather than physical presence
Sees future events clearly enough to direct others toward or away from them
Contacts Spider-Man mentally across distance without meeting him
Continuities
Claims on this page are tagged by canon. Blending them is the most common error in both wikis and AI answers.
