Matt "CylverSaber" Adler
A computer technician, Matt began reading Spider-Girl back in 2000. He’d hung out on Tom DeFalco's AOL message board for a while, and then migrated to the Spider-Girl board at ComicBoards.com in 2002. Says Matt: “I was shocked and awed at how the community was able to pull together time and again to save Spider-Girl, and I'm willing to do whatever I can to help in this latest effort. So far, I've written a column about Spider-Girl for the February issue of the Marvel Spotlight magazine, I've written some letters to higher-ups at Marvel, and I continue to promote Spider-Girl wherever I can, particularly at the Joe Quesada board where I am moderator. So let's do it again... Save Spider-Girl!”

He's in this for the long haul and doesn't plan on the ride ending.
