The Tarantula

A 1930's crime novelist, Jonathan Law began investigating the growing number of "mystery men", and became inspired to become one. Armed with a costume that let him walk on walls and a gun that shot webs, Law called himself the Tarantula. During World War II, he became a member of the wartime supergroup, the All-Star Squadron.
Decades later, the Tarantula was murdered by Blockbuster.
