Cooper Coen was a high school student on a field trip, where he saved his classmate Peter Parker from being bitten by a radioactive spider, for which Cooper was bitten instead and gained super-human abilities. His parents later evicted him for being a homosexual and went to live with his aunts, Laurie and Mel Coen. The two encouraged Cooper to follow his passions and put him in fashion school, which later led to him receiving a job at the premier fashion house, Van Dyne. He then became a superhero under the alias of Web-Weaver, to protect his and his aunts' community. He also became Peter Parker's roommate and once dated Albert Moon before he left Van Dyne to start working for the competitor, Jean-Paul Beaubier the owner of Northstar. During the New York Fashion Week, Cooper discovered that one of the models, Millie Collins, was being impersonated by a shape-shifting assassin, Chameleon, who also impersonated Cooper's boss, Janet Van Dyne. Web-Weaver intervened, exposing Chameleon's plotted attempted assassination of Silvija Sablinova, and trapped the Chameleon with his webs. Immediately after, Spider-UK used a web portal and recruited Web-Weaver to fight a new threat to the Spider-Verse.^[1]
