Creation & Design

Menace was created by writer J. Michael Straczynski and artist Ron Garney, first appearing in 2008 as a new villain in the Spider-Man universe.

Menace has received mixed reviews from fans and critics, with some appreciating her role as a modern female villain, while others feel she lacks depth compared to classic characters.
