Emi Kitane is a member of the Spider Society.

History[]

Emi is the youngest of three children born to Daisuke and Ayame Kitane. The Kitane family was tasked with protecting the Temple of the Spider, a building constructed by Sofia Corazon to protect the Spider Sphere in the eleventh century.

Her father was unhappy with Emi's birth, claiming she wasn't his daughter. And as she grew up he would be cruel to her. At the age of sixteen, a group of Spider Society members came to check in on the Spider Sphere, they would discover Emi's powers thanks to the spider tattoo on her back. The group would bring Emi back to the United States where Emi would easily become a citizen thanks to her ability to absorb knowledge which had nothing to do with her ability to absorb matter.

Over the next two years she would be enrolled in Milton Summers High with Anya Corazon who she became friends with. And would be trained by the Spider Society in hand-to-hand and weapons combat, something her father would never do. Eventually thanks to her skill she was appointed weapons specialist of the group.

Powers[]

  • Matter Absorption/Manipulation: Emi has the ability to absorb matter into her body allowing her cover her body in armor and change body parts into weapons. In her preferred metal form she can extract weapons from her body, including: swords, kunai, shuriken, and even chains. At one point she absorbed matter from Rescue's armor and was able to form a repulsor cannon on her arm.
  • Superhuman Strength: After transforming into her armored state, Armory possesses vast superhuman strength. She is sufficiently strong enough to lift about 30 tons.
  • Superhuman Stamina: Also, while in armored form, Armory's musculature produces considerably less fatigue toxins than the musculature of a normal human. At her peak, she can physically exert herself at peak capacity for several days before the build up of fatigue toxins in her blood begins to impair her.
  • Superhuman Durability: In her armored form Armory is invulnerable to most bodily harm. However, when fighting Rescue her armor was completely shattered by the Young Ally's repulsor beam.
