Estrella Lopez
During his time as the Superior Spider-Man, Otto Octavius was looking for a lab assistant. Overhearing him talking to Anna Maria Marconi, Estrella Lopez entered herself in the running and was arranged to meet Spider-Man, who, after seeing her pass a test, accepted her services. Otto put her to work helping him realize his life-long goal of creating a miniature star under laboratory conditions. After weeks of failure, Estrella provided a solution that was a missing key to the problem, only to see Spider-Man immediately take credit for it himself. Unwilling to have her achievement taken away, she performed the experiment on her own, successfully achieving a reaction and creating a miniature star, the power of which she then absorbed. Spider-Man arrived on the scene and Lopez, feeling newly empowered, tried to kill him for attempting to steal her idea. Octavius fought her and succeeded in trapping her inside a frictionless dodecahedron from which she could not escape, which he ordered his minions to put away. A long time later, having regained his body but lost much of his memories, Octavius was searching for a solution to a problem he had found during his time as Superior Spider-Man. Otto cracked the dodecahedron containment open, releasing Estrella who had spent all that time inside, requiring no food or air, but also bereft of any sensory input. Driven by her all-consuming rage against the "Spider-Man" who inflicted that upon her, Estrella ignored Doctor Octopus and flew away in search of her target. Finding him in the company of his ward Spider-Boy, Supernova engaged Spider-Man, unaware that his body's current occupant, Peter Parker, had no memory of her whatsoever. Seeing how her anger was directed at Spider-Man only and realizing that Otto was the one behind it, Peter slipped out of his costume and back into his civilian clothes to escape her attention. He was then approached by Anna Maria Marconi, who filled him in on the parts of Estrella's history he hadn't yet put together. Seeing the two people who offered her to work for Spider-Man to begin with, Supernova kidnapped Anna Maria and took her away, promising Peter she would kill her unless he could get Spider-Man to come to her.
