According to The Spider's back story, he was a bored rich man who turned to crime for fun. After a short career as a cat-burglar, he found that crime was too easy and so returned everything he'd stolen and became a crime-fighter instead.
Although The Spider has pointed ears, canonically he is supposedly human. Just a very fit, very strong and absolutely brilliant human.
The Spider is a smug, superior, self-confident InsufferableGenius, who is all the more insufferable because he is exactly as brilliant and talented as he believes he is and rarely if ever overestimates his own capabilities.
The Spider is never seen without his Jet Pack, Web Gun and Laser (or sometimes Sonar) pistol. He prefers to travel long distances in his Heli-Car rather than by jet pack (it can be assumed because the jet pack lacks the range for long distance flight).
