In Spidersilk the novel, Mark, the main character, meets up with his friend Rae Osira. Eventually, Rae is kidnapped by the intruders. The name Osira is connected to another incredible story though. In the world of DC comics, Osira was actually from another planet, much like the intruders Mark battles. She also attempted to control the world in order to bring peace. This can also relate to the intruders need to get rid of technology for the greater good. Although the character Rae may not actually be inspired by Osira, it is still an interesting out of the box connection.
