DESCRIPTION

Recluse belongs to Earth-0801 and lives in the humid, unbelievably hot city of New Yorklanta. It's got traffic, smog and mind-melting summers, but it's home.

Recluse has been a superhero since she was a teenager and is burnt out. Her only real acquaintance is her universe's Doc Ock who is also tired of being a supervillain.  They play fight to keep the illusion up but neither are interested in actually hurting each other anymore. Are they friends...?

As her name suggests, Recluse is introverted and generally uninterested in joining a team or making allies.  While she's not keen on being a part of Miguel's Spider Society, she does find comfort in the fact that there's others out there like her. She's fond of a certain Doc Ock from Earth-TRN926.

Recluse is nonbinary but honestly doesn't care what pronouns people use for her. She tries to look as gender-neutral as possible when she's in costume to hide her identity, but dresses mostly femme as a civilian.

• Regenerative Healing Factor: Recluse can regenerate her injuries faster and more extensively than a normal human. 
• Poison Immunity: Recluse is immune to most venom.
• Necrotic Venom: Recluse can secrete poisonous red venom that is able to cause fever, chills, dizziness, rashes, or lesions to form on her opponents. The venom sometimes drips from her neck and eyes when she is overly stressed or pushed to the limit.
