Adam Harrow

Origin

Adam’s mother Melodie was a junkie prostitute who, despite being pregnant at the time, was selling her body for drugs at Cougar Bay, Florida. Picked up by captain Stein, he drugged her and took her to the remote Carribean island of Dr. Langford Harrow. Harrow injected her with a spider serum, which sped up her pregnancy. After several hours, Melodie was about to give birth. Dr. Langford gave her an overdose of sedative, killing Melodie. Cutting her open, Dr. Harrow retrieved a male spider-human hybrid, more spider than human, and a female hybrid who had no outward spiderlike characteristics. Naming her Emma, Langford raised her as his own daughter. The male spider-human hybrid was named Adam and is imprisoned by Langford.
