In the comics, 'Madame Web' is also suffering from myasthenia gravis, a neuromuscular disease that causes weakness in muscles, thus, she is surrounded by a web-like machine to keep her alive.
Madame Web also gives advices to Peter Parker, an alter-ego of Spiderman.
Due to her age and physical illness, Madame Web cannot go to direct conflict but sends others on missions.
As Dakota Johnson is a young woman, sources have suggested that the movie can be quite different from the comic.
