The commonly held belief is that the fabled "super spider" is doomed to die in the egg, because it is widely held that it is a lethal gene combination.

While many people cross spider to spider, or have in the past, and many more cross multi gene animals that contain spider, it seems odd that no one can say with 100% certainty if the super spider does or does not exist. At least not to my knowledge.

I believe I remember reading about someone who believed they had hatched and raised to breeding size a super spider male, and were I believe two seasons in to trying to prove beyond doubt that is was indeed a super, I have not heard conclusively if it was proven or not. It would take several seasons, at least 4 or 5, with this male being bred to as many non-spider carrying females as possible and each and every one producing nothing but spider and spider cross offspring to say without doubt it was a super. Perhaps it is simply no one wants to make that big an effort ?
