Black Spider

Black Spider is an assassin and a member of the League of Shadows.

History
Black Spider, Cheshire and Hook attended a meeting with Sensei, who gave them instructions to assassinate Selena Gonzalez, the CEO of Farano Enterprises.

Black Spider and Hook infiltrated Gonzalez's office. Kid Flash, Robin and Aqualad tried to protect her, but the assassins captured the three young heroes after a short fight. Black Spider tied them up.

The heroes broke loose and defeated Hook and Black Spider. Selena Gonzalez escaped and was killed by assassins waiting outside. Hook and Spider were taken to jail, but escaped the next day.

Cheshire brought Hook and Black Spider along on the hit on Serling Roquette. Black Spider took on Kid Flash, and though he managed to hit him with his web, the young speedster spun himself deeper in it, pulling Black Spider within kicking distance. He was knocked out by the collision.

Black Spider attempted to assassinate Bernell Jones for unspecified reasons. He was thwarted and subdued by Green Arrow and Artemis.

Abilities and equipment
Black Spider is extremely agile, and a skilled hand-to-hand combatant. He is equipped with a device on his wrist that can shoot a sticky substance resembling a spider's web.

Prior to Young Justice, Greg Weisman had been co-creator of The Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon.
 * Black Spider is voiced by Josh Keaton, who voiced Spider-Man on the show.
 * This is Black Spider's second animated appearance; the Eric Needham version was used in Superman/Batman: Public Enemies.
