Who is Titania?

Origin Titania Mary MacPherran was born prematurely in the suburbs of Denver, Colorado . As a result, she grew up frail and diminutive, earning her the nickname "Skeeter" (slang for "mosquito") from Vanessa Ashwood, a girl at her school. Mary's physique left her subject to horrific bullying her entire childhood, even to the point where she had to take menial jobs just to survive. Mary became deeply resentful and bitter in response, often fantasizing about gaining superpowers to become admired and revenge on her tormentors, including Vanessa. One day, after the Julia Carpenter appeared in their town, Mary's only friend Marsha Rosenburg remarked to her that this superheroine's reddish-blonde hair color matches Mary's. Mary responded by falsely revealing to Marsha that she is secretly Spider-Woman. Immediately Mary's fortunes changed and she was invited to a party at Vanessa's house. It becomes apparent that newfound popularity was due to Marsha spreading around the false Spider-Woman rumor.
