Spider Girl is a member of the Legion of Super-Villains who joins after being rejected from the Legion of Super-Heroes.[2]
During the Five-Year Gap run in Legion of Super-Heroes (vol. 4) (1989), Paka is a reformed thief and ally of the Legion of Super-Heroes. Shortly before the Zero Hour: Crisis in Time! continuity reboot, she changes her codename to Wave and dyes her hair blue.[3]
Following Zero Hour, Spider Girl is reimagined as a member of Workforce who is in a relationship with Ultra Boy.
In Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes, Spider-Girl is depicted as a member of the Justice League of Earth.
