Who is The Web?

Origin (Zip Comics) In his debut on Zip Comics #27, The Web was John Raymond, a criminology professor and mystery writer. A reason on why he was interested in criminology, was in part to watching his brother Tom, commit criminal deeds. With that curiosity alone, that propelled him into being the superhero known as The Web. During his adventures, he rescues a woman named Rose Wayne (not to be related with Bruce Wayne 's family) from a Yakuza mobster named The Black Dragon of Death. Rose then, through sheer perseverance, was able to deduce that The Web was John Raymond, along with his motivations. This propelled her to marry him, which John happily accepted, and in the process, settled down from living a superhero life to living a life of a married man. First Revival The Web came out of his self-imposed retirement in March 1966 through Fly-Man #36, to put a stop to the mischievous antics of a impostor claiming to be The Web. A month later, he appeared in Mighty Crusaders #4, and joined The Fox and Captain Flag , and thus create The Ultra-Men.
