!!Tropes

!Tropes

* WomanChild: Mainly manifests in her solo series, where her acting like an emotionally stunted and impulsive teenager is shown as the result of spending ten years in solitary confinement. As Jessica points out later in ''ComicBook/SpiderWomen'', that this and her anxiety issues are the ''only'' things Cindy has from being locked in solitary confinement for so long is a miracle.

* BecomingTheMask: Mockingbird worried that Silk's infiltration of Black Cat's organization would put her in serious risk of this, as did a few others, and not without reason. She almost killed a person under Black Cat's orders, and when asked about it, she stated she felt good after beating the man and throwing him off a roof (but claims that she knew he'd survive). The main thing that seemed to be pushing her into this trope is that she genuinely likes Cat and sees her as a friend, a feeling that Cat would mutually return. [[spoiler: She ultimately doesn't go rogue, and Mockingbird apologizes for thinking she would.]]

* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:Cindy finally finds and rescues her parents, who were trapped in the Negative Zone. As thanks for everything Cindy did in dealing with the Black Cat, Mockingbird sets her family up with a new house/safehouse.]]
* EvilMentor: Black Cat becomes this for Silk in Volume 2. It doesn't help that Cat is the only person besides Silk's therapist that isn't convinced Silk is a failure of some kind.
* FaceHeelTurn: In the ''[[ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentMarvel All New, All Different]]'' universe, Silk has gone rogue and is working for Black Cat under the moniker of "Sinister Silk", lamenting that her brief stint as a hero has made it difficult for her to accrue any VillainCred... but it's revealed [[SubvertedTrope she's actually]] TheMole for S.H.I.E.L.D. [[spoiler:But, then, after the events of ''Spider-Women'', Cindy [[BecomingTheMask decides to back Black Cat full-time]] after S.H.I.E.L.D. refuses to listen to the fact that her Earth-65 counterpart was causing trouble, not her. '''Then''' it turns out she went back to S.H.I.E.L.D. [[ZigZaggedTrope to continue busting]] Black Cat after they finally believed her story.]]

* MoralityPet: Silk appointed herself as Black Cat's, and the two end up having a heart-to-heart where Silk tells her that she clearly isn't the full-fledged villain that everyone is making her out to be. Knowing that her sidekick earnestly views her in this way [[spoiler:leads to Black Cat sparing Silk's life when she learns Silk is working for S.H.I.E.L.D.]]
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: [[spoiler:After finding out Silk has betrayed her by working with S.H.I.E.L.D., Black Cat teleports the two of them to an abandoned warehouse and proceeds to beat Cindy to a bloody pulp in front of her goons, to show them what happens to people who double-cross her. The beatdown is interrupted by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents storming the building, and Cindy uses the last of her strength to leap through a skylight after being aided by an uppercut, landing on the roof. Black Cat simply teleports to the roof and continues beating her up. She stops when Silk reaffirms her faith in Black Cat not being a true villain, though.]]
* NotQuiteBackToNormal: The Goblin King (Phil Urich) infects Silk with his knock-off Goblin Serum in an attempt to get her on his side, but she's saved by Black Cat, who had cooked up a cure. However, Silk's eyes [[YellowEyesOfSneakiness briefly turn yellow]] when she gets angry for a while after, implying that Felicia's vaccine wasn't perfect or took time to work fully.
* SoWhatDoWeDoNow: In the penultimate issue of Vol. 2, Cindy finds herself at a lost of what do after [[spoiler:rescuing her parents]], as reuniting her family was her only goal after leaving the bunker. The idea of continuing to be Silk doesn't even seem enticing for a while. It's only after talking with Jameson, her brother, and her therapist, as well as helping a kid get their kite out of a tree, that she decides to take Mockingbird's offer to join S.H.I.E.L.D. as a full-time hero.

Silk is a Creator/MarvelComics superheroine who is first introduced into Franchise/MarvelUniverse in the first issue of ''The Amazing ComicBook/SpiderMan'' Vol. 3 (April 2014). She's created by Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos.

During the ''ComicBook/OriginalSin'' storyline, Spider-Man would be exposed to the energies of the Watcher’s eye alongside his fellow heroes. As secrets began to flow into his head, Spider-Man saw that the radioactive spider that bit him managed to bite another before it died—a young female student named Cindy Moon.

After she was bitten by the spider, Cindy’s abilities manifested but she was unable to control them. Some time later, [[Characters/SpiderManSupportingCharacters Ezekiel Sims]] would approach the Moon family to offer his help and guide Cindy in controlling her newfound abilities. After six years since getting bit and training to use her powers, Cindy is locked up inside a facility by Ezekiel to protect her and the other “spiders” from Morlun and his family: The Inheritors. But she was later freed by Peter Parker, kicking off [[ComicBook/SpiderVerse Morlun's biggest hunt ever]].

During ''Spider-Verse'', she appeared in the first arc of ''[[ComicBook/SpiderWoman2014 Spider-Woman]]'' volume five, teaming up with Jessica Drew before spinning off into her own [[ComicBook/SilkTheLifeAndTimesOfCindyMoon ongoing series]] in February 2015, written by Robbie Thompson (known for his work on ''Series/{{Supernatural}}''). Initially running for seven issues, ''Silk'', like many other titles, was put on hold for the massive ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'' event, but returned with a new volume during the ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentMarvel initiative later that year. In the second volume, Silk is working for ComicBook/BlackCat, or so it seems as she is actually a mole for SHIELD, but things start to get complicated, as Silk gains some anger issues as well as having a hard time remembering Black Cat isn't her friend. This volume ran for nineteen issues.

Cindy appears (in her unpowered, civilian form) as a classmate of Peter's in 2017's ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'', played there by Creator/TiffanyEspensen, later reprising the role in ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar''. In June 2018, it was announced that [[https://www.cbr.com/silk-movie-spider-man-spinoff-sony/ Sony began developing a film based on the character]], [[https://deadline.com/2020/09/amazon-sony-suite-tv-series-marvel-characters-silk-1234570370/ reportedly later retooled into a series]] for Creator/PrimeVideo by 2020. It will reportedly be the first in a franchise of series for the streamer set in Film/SonysSpiderManUniverse, but it has not yet been confirmed if Espensen will reprise her role. It was also reported in December 2018 that Silk would feature in a spinoff of ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'', alongside ComicBook/SpiderGwen and [[ComicBook/SpiderWoman Jessica Drew]], tentatively titled ''Spider-Women''.
