[edit] History
Delilah's first appearance saw her trying to assassinate a police detective in order to frame Hammerhead for it. Proving to be the Rose's confidant as well as his chief enforcer, she helped him battle to maintain control of part of the New York crime scene against the threat of the Black Tarantula. She managed to defeat and kill one of the Tarantula's chief enforcers, but was viciously beaten and humiliated when she fought the Tarantula himself. She teamed up with Ricochet (secretly Spider-Man in disguise) in attempt at revenge before being hospitalised by Bloodscream.
During her career, she had a role in the rebirth of two of Spider-Man's old foes during the Rose's efforts to gain extra muscle: she was the one who threw the switch of the electric chair which gave Electro his powers back, and helped set up the theft of Doctor Octopus' corpse for re-animation from the Hand.
Since the fall of the Rose, she has been rarely seen. Her full name was never revealed.
[edit] Powers and Abilities
She can lift roughly 2 tons, and is super-agile. She used various weapons in her assignments, from daggers to laser guns.
