Fictional character biography

edit

Ramsey Kole was a dancer of short stature who stole and drank some experimental chemicals that Bill Foster was working on, and grew to a height of 15 feet with extremely long arms and legs. Spider-Woman went looking for him, and now calling himself Daddy Longlegs, she defeated him, leaving him a dejected emotional wreck.[volume & issue needed]

Daddy Longlegs was captured by the Locksmith along with a number of other superhumans, but they were freed by Spider-Woman.[volume & issue needed] She threw a party for Kole and the other escapees, who were forced to forget her when she was believed to be dead.[volume & issue needed]

Daddy Longlegs was later restored to normal by Dr. Karl Malus, who used samples from Kle to purify the Pym Particles.[volume & issue needed]
