Spider-Island (Earth-1600)

Spider-Island is an island inhabited by spider-powered individuals and led by the Spider-Queen, where they can take refuge and learn to use their abilities to help protect humanity.

History
Spider-Island was originally an island far away from Manhatten in the Atlantic Ocean, as well as the location of a S.H.I.E.L.D. research facility with advanced equipment. The island was abandoned during the Hydra uprising as S.H.I.E.L.D. bases were quickly being taken over by Hydra forces.

Eventually, with the rise of a new human species with arachnid-like abilities as a result of the Spider-Island incident, Adriana Soria (formerly known as the Spider-Queen) led them to take refuge on the island. With enough supplies in the abandoned facility to help them last, they were able to establish themselves in their new home and converted the facility into a living headquarters.

With resources running low, Adria sought Spider-Man's help, hoping to make amends for her past mistakes. Spider-Man gladly accepted and was amazed to see other people besides with spider powers living there. With S.H.I.E.L.D.'s help, they reestablished contact with the outside world as well as rebuilding the facility as a better living headquarters as well as turning it into a school to help train the populace to use their abilities to benefit humanity and be able to reintegrate into human society.
