Max Snowe is the son of the original Black Arachnid. His father trained him all of his life to continue the tradition. When his father was killed battling a villain, Max assumed his father's role as the Black Arachnid. Max is young, but capable of continuing his father's work.

While the Black Arachnid has no superhuman powers, he uses a variety of gadgets in his adventures. He wears cartridge launchers on his hands. He can load them with micro-netting coated in high-tack adhesives which acts as his spiderweb, micro-grappling hooks used for swinging, climbing, or repelling, and toxin dipped darts that can paralyse an opponent temporarily. The palms of his hands and soles of his feet have micro-hooks (similar to the micro-grappling hooks) he uses for clinging to objects. His belt holds replacement cartridges for his cart launchers.
