(March, 2012);
(Hummingbird) Scarlet Spider II#17 (July, 2013)
Powers/Abilities: Hummingbird is empathic and telepathic; she can sense others' emotions and access their memories. She can induce intense emotions, especially fear, in others. She can levitate, and frequently does so in her sleep. She can also apparently make her skin turn green. While under Huitzilopochtli's influence, she can project bursts of divine fire. She apparently has a rapid metabolism (like a hummingbird), which allows her to metabolize drugs and toxins quickly, but requires her to consume more food than her small size would suggest. She is a native Spanish speaker, and has learned a number of languages via telepathy, including English, French, Japanese, and Romanian.

History: (Scarlet Spider II#14 (fb) ) - Young Mexican girl Maria Aracely Josefina Penalba de las Heras may or may not have been the reincarnation of the Aztec god Huitzilopochtli.
(Scarlet Spider II#15 (fb) ) - To fulfill a prophecy and make Mictlan (the Aztec underworld) rise, the enigmatic Coyote apparently had Aracely's parents killed, and put her in with a truckload of illegal migrants the Lobo Cartel had sold to Roxxon for human testing. He ordered his men to leave the truck to bake in the desert sun for a day before taking it to Houston. As the rest of the people in the truck roasted alive, Aracely survived, but the trauma rendered her amnesiac. As she suffered, she heard a voice that promised her she would survive this ordeal - and that afterwards, she would make the world bleed.
(Scarlet Spider II#1) - Smuggled into Houston, Texas, everyone in the shipping container died except for Aracely, who was discovered barely clinging to life by the renegade Spider-Man clone Kaine. He brought her to Park Plaza Hospital, where she was treated by Dr. Donald Meland. She regained consciousness, bereft of her memories, just in time for the flame-wielding Salamander to attack the hospital, searching for her...
(Scarlet Spider II#2) - Aracely fled the Salamander, but
he cornered her. Amused that she had no idea why he was going to kill
her, Salamander prepared to land the final blow, but Kaine arrived, in a
purloined Spider-Man costume, and took on the Salamander. The Salamander
soon set him on fire; the Salamander pursued her again, and she fled,
running into Kaine, who had been extinguished by the hospital's
sprinklers. He tackled the villain out the window and defeated him in
the streets of Houston, away from the hospital. Aracely returned to her
bed, and began to recover. Kaine visited her that night, and was told by
Dr. Meland and his husband, police officer Wally Layton, who told him
that, as an illegal, she would be deported back to Mexico, where her
enemies could find her - and that while the police couldn't do anything
about it, a vigilante could. Kaine left, but after a short time he
returned to take Aracely away to his hotel penthouse.
(Scarlet Spider II#3) - Aracely awoke in the hotel room; confused by her
new surroundings, when Kaine and hotel bartender Annabelle Adams (who
Kaine had asked to help, as she spoke Spanish) came in through the door,
Aracely attacked them with a wine bottle. Luckily, Dr. Meland soon
arrived, as well, calming her down.
(Scarlet Spider II#4) - Annabelle took Aracely shopping at the Houston
Galleria mall. While excitedly picking out clothes, she told Annabelle
that she could sense Kaine (who was fighting the Assassin's Guild) - in
perfect English. Back at the hotel, Aracely demonstrated that she could
speak a number of languages, including French and Japanese; when a news
report came on TV about the new "Scarlet Spider", Aracely correctly
identified him as Kaine, much to Annabelle's surprise.
(Scarlet Spider II#6) - Aracely found Kaine coming out of a tattoo
parlor, and asked him to go get barbecue with her. As they ate, she
babbled on about her psychic abilities, how she sensed the darkness that
was coming for them all, and why she'd started wearing a blue hoodie -
she was aware that it invoked strong feelings in Kaine, but didn't
realize it reminded him of his dead clone "brother" Ben Reilly. None of
this dampened her relentless cheerfulness.
(Scarlet Spider II#7) - Kaine spent the day with Aracely at the hotel,
swimming, going to the spa, and watching TV; all the while, he was
trying not to care about his recent encounter with Zoe Walsh, a woman
he'd rescued after she'd tried to blow up Roxxon's Houston offices. That
night, his attempts to not care finally prompted Aracely to burst into
his room, yelling at him to do something because she couldn't sleep with
all his not caring.
(Scarlet Spider II#12) - On Christmas Day, after a nightmarish
experience with Carnage, Kaine profanely declared that he was going to
leave Houston and escape to Mexico, but Aracely blocked him from leaving
his hotel suite - and demanded that he put two dollars into the swear
jar. Kaine, having had three beers, collapsed; while Aracely and Officer
Layton tried to drag him to bed, a hotel employee came to tell them that
they'd have to leave their suite, as the Belgian ambassador had a
reservation. As Layton and Dr. Meland discussed how they could make
Kaine stay, Aracely demonstrated the self-repairing nature of Kaine's
costume. When they learned that Annabelle was being held hostage in the
lobby by the Santa Claus Bandits, Aracely tried to wake Kaine up; when
that failed, she headed downstairs with Layton to help. While he
confronted several of the thieves, she went after one of their number,
Kris Kringle. When he pulled a gun on her, she used her powers to
paralyze him with fear. Later, after the Scarlet Spider defeated the
rest of the bandits, the hotel's manager asked him if there was anything
he could to to repay him; Aracely whispered that Belgians should be
banned from the hotel forever. Kaine repeated it and the manager
complied, allowing Kaine and Aracely to stay. That night, Kaine,
Aracely, Layton, Meland, and Annabelle celebrated on the hotel roof.
(Scarlet Spider II#12.1) - Kaine checked in on Aracely as she slept.
(Scarlet Spider II#13) - Aracely dreamt of an idyllic life in Aztlan,
only for it to be destroyed as Mictlan rose. She saw a man and woman who
she recognized as her parents killed; soon, she herself was attacked by
the Salamander. Making up with a start, she was comforted by Annabelle,
and then went to see Kaine. She explained her dream, and insisted it was
more than a dream. They were then confronted by the Mexican cartel
bosses Carlos and Esmerelda Lobo, who offered to let Kaine escape if he
gave them Aracely. He instead grabbed Aracely and fled, as the Lobos
gave chanse in their werewolf forms. The Lobos soon caught up with them,
and Aracely escaped as Kaine battled them. She could feel his death as
the Lobos defeated and devoured him.
(Scarlet Spider II#14) - The Lobos pursued Aracely into an alley. She
probed into Carlos' mind, and tried to exploit his fear of dying as his
brother had. He almost reverted to his human form, but the
stronger-willed Esmerelda snapped him out of it while Aracely fled to
Houston's Third Ward, deliberately leading the Lobos into the Shark
gang's territory. To delay them, she asked what they wanted from her,
and who she was; Esmerelda told Aracely her full name, and her allegedly
divine nature - and that their patron, the Coyote, wanted her dead.
Esmerelda considered leaving her alive as a bargaining chip, but Carlos
insisted that they kill her - before they could come to a decision, the
Sharks attacked. Aracely slipped away in the confusion, although not
before one of the Lobos slashed her on the back.
(Scarlet
Spider II#15) - Aracely hid in a dumpster, and remembered that the
Coyote had left her to die in the desert. She saw a spider looking at
her in the dumpster, and briefly thought she had gone mad, unaware that
Kaine had been reborn as the monstrous Other with a new connection to
spiders. The Lobos sniffed her out and tore her out of the dumpster.
Before they could kill her, Kaine arrived, now mutated into a
spider-creature. He brutally defeated the Lobos, then turned his sights
on Aracely. He trapped her in a web and started advancing on her; she
tried using her empathic powers against him, but they were useless
against him. When she reached out to him and asked him to "come back for
me", however, he tore himself from the creature's exoskeleton, and
returned to his human form. He tried to tell her that the spider
creature was his true self, but she assured him that she knew what he
really was. Later, she cut the beard he'd grown while in spider-form,
and went out to dinner with him, Annabelle, Layton, and Meland. That
night, however, she had strange dreams, and began levitating in her
sleep, as the voice once more promised to make the world bleed...
(Scarlet Spider II#16) - After another night of sleep-levitation,
Aracely went to the Houston rodeo with Meland, Layton, and a very
reluctant Kaine. After telepathically probing rodeo star Wyatt Taft, she
declared him to be dreamy. Later, when Kaine rudely refused Annabelle's
romantic advances, Aracely yelled at him until he ran to apologize. The
subsequent rodeo, in the Scarlet Spider rode a horse while fending off a
drunken, lovesick Armadillo, then kissed Annabelle, was declared by
Aracely to be the best rodeo ever.
(Scarlet Spider II#17/Scarlet Spider II#18 (fb) ) - When Kaine was
dispatched to New York by the Assassins Guild to kill Wolverine, Aracely
pleaded to go with him; Kaine had anticipate this, and had already
acquired a fake passport for her (under the name Angela Maria Lopez). He
was giddy the entire plane ride, and excitedly pointed out Spider-Man
swinging by as they took a limo to their hotel. Aracely, clad in a new
costume and calling herself "Hummingbird", tagged along with Kaine to
Westchester. They had no intention of actually killing Wolverine, but
with an Assassins Guild killer watching the mansion, they had to make it
look good. To kick off their mission, she walked up to the front door of
the X-Mansion and knocked; when the janitor Toad answered, she used her
powers to terrify him, and he ran off, allowing her and Kaine (rendered
invisible by his costume) unimpeded access to the school. She soon ran
into Rachel Grey, who trie to telepathically probe her, unintentionally
unleashing Huitzilopochtli from within her psyche. The resulting psychic
shockwave hit the other telepaths in the school (including Kid Omega,
Blindfold, and the time-displaced Jean Grey), and alerted the X-Men to
the intruders. Hummingbird quickly regained control and apologized to
the near-catatonic Rachel. She did manage to communicate their situation
to Jean Grey, who telepathically told Wolverine to play along. When
Kitty Pryde, who had cornered Kaine, saw Hummingbird standing over her
prone teammate, it gave Kaine an opportunity to knock her aside and
carry out his mission - stabbing Wolverine in the heart.
(Scarlet Spider II#18) - When a vengeful Storm attacked Kaine,
Hummingbird tried to intervene, but Iceman chilled her brain, slowing it
enough to nullify her powers. Shortly, however, the Beast revived
Wolverine, who agreed to help Kaine battle the Assassins Guild. Aracely
stayed behind at the Mansion; although the school's telepaths wouldn't
go near her, the Beast, Dr. Cecilia Reyes, and the other, time-displaced
Beast (long story) examined her. Rockslide and Anole came by, curious,
and she barraged them with questions. They soon found that she wasn't a
mutant, but had another entity inhabiting her body...
(Scarlet Spider II#19) - When the Beast contacted Kaine and Wolverine
after they'd defeated the Guild, Aracely cut into the call with her
usual ebulliance. Beast insisted that Wolverine hurry back.
(Scarlet Spider II#20/2) - Aracely met Kaine when he came back from a
subsequent trip to New York.
(Scarlet Spider II#21) - Convinced that he was suffering from clone
degeneration again (thanks to a hallucinogenic dart from Kraven the
Hunter), Kaine wrecked the hotel suite in a rage. Aracely tried to
telepathically calm him, but she encountered the Other in his mind and
went into shock. Later, as she tried to reach out to him as he fled
through the city, Ana Kraven broke in and subdued her. 
(Scarlet Spider II#22) - Aracely awoke at the Houston Zoo, where Kraven
explained how he had died and returned to life, and how he needed Kaine
to kill him. When she tried to use her powers on him, he slashed her
across the face with a drugged knife, knocking her out. He then brought
her and his other captives (Annabelle, Meland, and Layton) to an
enclosure, where he demanded that Kaine kill him, lest he kill them all.
(Scarlet Spider II#23) - Aracely remained unconscious for the duration
of the fight, during which Kaine killed and revived Kraven. When she
revived, she found that Dr. Meland had been critically injured. Later,
she visited him in the hospital.
(Scarlet Spider II#24) - Aracely stood by as Kaine tried to burn his
Scarlet Spider costume in an alley, but soon found out that it was
fireproof. Aracely pulled it out of the flames and apologized to it.
They both went back to the suite, where Aracely found that she suddenly
had a headache. As Kaine went into the other room and had sex with
Annabelle (secretly the totem-hunting predator Shathra in disguise),
Aracely tried not to hear them and experienced another distressing
vision of Mictlan rising - this time while she was awake. She calle out
to Kaine, who ran in with the fake Annabelle to find that Wally Layton
had arrived in full tactical gear, having found out that Kaine was a
wanted killer. Kaine surrendered; Aracely tried to telepathically sway
Layton into letting Kaine go, but he told her that if she used her
powers on him, he'd take her down too. Aracely then answered the
door to find both the real Annabelle (prompting Shathra to reveal her
true self) and Zoe Walsh, Kaine's disturbed ex-lover...the latter of
whom happened to be carrying an RPG launcher. She fired it, and the
suite exploded...
(Scarlet Spider II#25 (fb) ) - Everyone in the suite was thrown clear of
the explosion, but Aracely and the others found themselves plummeting to
the ground. Kaine saved them all with a web, then had to face the
ravenous Shathra. He had to transform into the Other to do it,
terrifying Annabelle. Layton told Kaine he'd let him go, but he had to
leave; Aracely left with him.
(Scarlet Spider II#25) - Kaine and Aracely left for Mexico, where they
intended to find her parents; once they crossed the border, Aracely's
visions stopped. They took down a gang of drug dealers in Monterrey as
the Scarlet Spider and Hummingbird. While Kaine took their money,
Hummingbird instilled the sole conscious criminal with a fear of guns
and a love of puppies. Later, while driving, they got lost, thanks to
Aracely's inadequate navigational skills. As they camped out that night,
Aracely tried to get Kaine talk about what had happened in Houston, but
he refused.
(Scarlet Spider II#25/New Warriors V#1) - Some time later, in Mazatlan,
Aracely sensed a pair of tourists being mugged; she begged Kaine to help
them. He relented, but once he and Hummingbird had subdued the muggers,
he angrily berated the tourists for being careless. At sunset, Kaine and
Aracely relaxed by the beach, but noticed that the water was turning red
- red with blood from surfacing Atlantean and Deviant bodies. An
Atlantean warrior, Faira Sar Namora, rose out of the water, and told the
two that she sought heroes...
(New Warriors V#2) - Kaine and Faira battled until Hummingbird stopped
them, having sensed that the Atlantean hadn't killed the others. She
told them that an Atlantean/Deviant battle had been attacked by the
powerful Evolutionaries, who sought to cleanse humanity of the
genetically impure. Faira asked the two to come to Lemuria's aid, but
Kaine wasn't interested - until the Evolutionaries chose that moment to
surface and attack.
(New
Warriors V#3 (fb) ) - The Evolutionaries defeated all three heroes.
(New Warriors V#3) - The Evolutionaries brought the three defeated
heroes to the High Evolutionary's Mount Wundagore citadel for study,
placing them with fellow captive Nova. Regaining consciousness, the
talkative Hummingbird soon learned that Faira was the Water Snake, and
she was on a quest, and that Nova had been to space. As the others
responded with confusion, Kaine summoned a swarm of spiders to short out
the machinery keeping them captive, freeing them. Before they could
regain their bearings, they were soon set upon by an army of
Evolutionaries. Hummingbird soon fell before their concentrated assault,
and the others soon followed.
(New Warriors V#4) - The High Evolutionary commanded the Evolutionaries
to execute Hummingbird and the others, only for Justice to arrive with
his allies Speedball, Sun Girl, and Haechi. Hummingbird was thrilled to
be part of a super hero team, and soon the battle was joined. The heroes
took down the Evolutionaries, but soon the High Evolutionary activated
the Gene Bomb, a device that was designed to kill any human with super
powers. Hummingbird and the others were incapacitated by it, leaving Sun
Girl (whose powers were technology-based) to destroy it. When the angry
High Evolutionary confronted her, Hummingbird and the others recovered
in time to stare him down. He and the Evolutionaries fled, leaving the
heroes with his abandoned citadel. Justice proposed that they form the
new New Warriors, but only Hummingbird enthusiastically agreed.
(New Warriors V#5) - Suspecting that the villagers around Mount
Wundagore might be in trouble, Hummingbird, Speedball, Sun Girl, and
Haechi went down to help. They burst into a local tavern, but
Hummingbird found that its inhabitants were unharmed, and largely used
to strange occurences on Wundagore. Instead of going back to see the
others, the four decided to stay for a meal. As they ate, they got to
know each other. Aracely explained what she knew of her own origins,
then innocently began prying into the darker areas of Speedball's
history she'd gleaned from his mind - the destruction of Stamford,
Connecticut and his subsequent stint as the masochistic Penance.
Speedball insisted that he was fine, but this put a damper on the
conversation, and they soon returned to the citadel. There, Hummingbird
was delighted to find out the rest of the team had befriended the
surviving New Men Jack Waffles and Mister Whiskers, and confided to Sun
Girl that she had fallen in love with the "dark and brooding and angsty"
Speedball. Jake Waffles then demonstrated the citadel's teleportation
functions by transporting the entire mountain into New York Harbor.
(New Warriors V#6) - Hummingbird was excited to be in New York, but the
Avengers soon came to investigate the mysterious mountain. While Justice
and Speedball explained the situation to Captain America and Iron Man,
Thor was assigned to watch over the others. Hummingbird asked to see if
she could lift his hammer, but was shocked when Water Snake (under the
influence of the Darkhold Dwarf, agent of Chthon) attacked Thor,
prompting him to battle all the Warriors. Hummingbird could sense his
presence in Water Snake's mind, and used her powers to make him visible
to the others. When he tried to possess Thor, Huitzilopochtli took over
Hummingbird and blasted him with divine fire, incinerating him. She
quickly regained control, and Thor and the Warriors celebrated their
victory; Thor even let Hummingbird try to lift his hammer, which she
could not.
(New Warriors V#7) - Hummingbird, Scarlet Spider, and Mr. Whiskers
searched the catacombs of the citadel for the dark magic Water Snake had
sensed, but Hummingbird couldn't pick up anything. Before long, they
were notified that Haechi and Sun Girl were in trouble; while the others
tried to pinpoint their location, Kaine told Aracely not to get too
attached to the rest of the Warriors, as they'd be leaving soon.
Nevertheless, Warriors veteran Silhouette teleported her, Scarlet
Spider, Justice, Speedball, and Water Snake to Jakarta, where they
found, instead of their teammate, dozens of civilians mind-controlled by
the Inhuman Nocculus...
(New Warriors V#8) - Nocculus' thralls attacked the Warriors; as the
others tried to get to the top floor of the building, where their
friends were being held, Hummingbird found out that the humans were
being mind-controlled, and used her powers to break his control. Joining
the others on the top floor, she confronted the Inhumans who had
kidnapped their friends. She took on Nocculus, who was paralyzed with
terror when his third eye saw the divine entity within her mind. She
then watched as the Inhuman revolutionary Lash killed the kidnappers'
ringleader, Hollow, and departed.
(New Warriors V#9) - When the Scarlet Spider disappeared, Hummingbird
reassured the other Warriors that he would be fine; she insisted that
Haechi was the one they should worry about, as he now felt that all his
loved ones thought he was a monster and his own Inhuman people had tried
to kill him. She suggested they take Wundagore to Prauge to go to a rave
to distract him, and they agreed. There, they had trouble getting in,
due to the obviously-underage Nova; after failing to cajole the bouncer,
Sun Girl had Aracely use her psychic powers to persuade him, instead. At
the rave, she asked Speedball to dance with her, as they might not get
another chance - when Speedball asked why, she had a strange episode and
told him that Mictlan was rising, and she was going to die soon. She
immediately shook it off, however, and danced.
(New Warriors V#10) - Hummingbird and the Warriors attacked the High
Evolutionary's Arctic stronghold, where he and the Evolutionaries were
planning to purify humanity. Hummingbird probed the High Evolutionary's
mind, and found that he was waging this campaign because he believed the
Celestials were coming to judge humanity. He knocked her away; she then
focused her powers on the leader of the Evolutionaries, making him turn
on the High Evolutionary. The High Evolutionary fought him off, then
killed Mr. Whiskers; as Hummingbird tried to comfort Jake Waffles, the
Evolutionary broke from her control and knocked her out. She recovered
just in time for the Eternals to join the battle - against the Warriors.
(New Warriors V#11) - As the Eternals started taking the Warriors down,
one-by-one, Hummingbird tried to challenge their leader, Zuras, in a
mental battle. He quickly dispatched her and knocked her to the floor -
but while doing so, she learned that Zuras was lying, and the Celestials
were not coming. She and the other defeated Warriors (save for Justice,
who had been knocked across the world by Makkari) were placed in the
High Evolutionary's rebuilt Gene Bomb device; she tried to tell the
Eternals the truth, but Zuras dismissed her.
(New Warriors V#12) - The machine activated, generating an extinction
wave from the Warriors' bodies - but at the last minute, Justice
returned, destroying the machine and freeing the Warriors. They took on
the Eternals again, this time gaining the upper hand; Hummingbird
battled Ajak, instilling him with fear to make him easy prey for the
Scarlet Spider. Justice took on Zuras, and convinced the other Eternals
that the Celestials weren't coming. He made a quick about-face, and
blamed the High Evolutionary for the entire incident; he and the rest of
the Eternals then teleported away. Hummingbird and the other Warriors
destroyed the Gene Bomb and celebrated their hard-fought victory.
(Amazing Spider-Man III#9) - The Inheritor Daemos attacked the Scarlet
Spider at Mount Wundagore; Hummingbird and the other Warriors leaped to
his defense, but the monstrous extradimensional vampire defeated them
all.
(Amazing Spider-Man IV#21) - Aracely and the others survived the battle
with minor injuries, and were recovering well. Their progress was
observed by Kaine from Loomworld.
(Infinity Wars: Sleepwalker#1 (fb) ) - Rick Sheridan set
up an interview with Hummingbird in Brooklyn for his documentary "Secret
Defenders", about lesser-known super heroes.

So, uh, what is Aracely? The High Evolutionary consistently refers to
her as a demigod, which typically means the offspring of a mortal and a
god (like Hercules, for example), but it appears that both of Aracely's
parents were just normal people. In SS #18, the Beast finds that there's
something unusual in her brain - specifically, some other entity. It
seems that she's possessed by, or is a mortal vessel for,
Huitzilopochtli, which has imbued her with divine characteristics.
Huitzilopochtli is the Aztec god of the sun, war, and human sacrifice.
He hasn't appeared much in the Marvel universe - he was impersonated by
Apocalypse at one point, and was on the Council of Godheads when they
sent Hercules and the God Squad to battle the Skrull gods.
I'm pretty sure she can turn green somehow - it's definitely not a mask,
and I can't imagine she's putting green makeup on all the time.
I initially blanched at the prospect of a Hummingbird/Speedball
relationship, but Speedball probably isn't even twenty yet - he's just
been through a lot so he seems older. He's maybe a couple years older
than Aracely, but I think they're close enough age-wise that them being
into each other isn't too unseemly.
Hummingbird is delightful. Hopefully her story isn't over yet...
