From just that scrap of paper, she’s also able to tell that Belinda regrets some of her recent behavior and as a result, is in a life-or-death situation…involving trains. Spider-Man hands her the paper he found at the disastrous meeting, and she’s able to sense that it belongs to a student of hers named Belinda Bell, who has crossed paths with a woman named Katrinka Janice Clayton (also known as K.J. Maybe it’s about time Spidey finds out who this webbed woman actually is. The masked men escape, and all that’s left behind is a piece of paper with Madame Web’s picture.
Fortunately, Spider-Man also breaks into the meeting, though it appears to be too little too late. The meeting takes a deadly turn once five disguised men break in and hold everyone at gunpoint.

Given the fact that Johnson was cast to play the obscure hero, it’s likely that they’ll be taking Madame Web in a very different, more youthful direction than in the comics.
