Spider-Woman (Gwen Stacy)

Spider-Woman (Gwen Stacy), commonly referred to as Spider-Gwen, is a fictional superheroine in comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Jason Latour and Robbi Rodriguez, the character debuted in Edge of Spider-Verse #2, as part of the 2014–15 Spider-Verse comic book storyline. This led to the ongoing series Spider-Gwen that began in 2015.

The character is a variant of Spider-Man and an alternate-universe version of Gwen Stacy. She resides in what Marvel official nomenclature dubs Earth-65, where, instead of Peter Parker being bitten by a radioactive spider and becoming Spider-Man, Gwen Stacy is bitten and becomes the superheroine Spider-Woman.

Spider-Woman was met with positive reviews from critics, with them applauding her design—cited as a popular choice for cosplay—and a feminist perspective. For promotion, several other versions of the character were developed, accompanied by merchandise. She was also featured on animated television series and in multiple video games as a playable character.

Iago PUC's ideas

 * Spider-Gwen (using the alias of Ghost-Spider) appears in Comic Con Incorporated as a member of the Champions and is one of the roomers in the titular fictional hotel. She is roommates with Sabrina Spellman's best friend Chloe Flan and Teen Titans member Starfire. For the swimming activities, she is shown primarily wearing a swimsuit based on her superhero costume, occasionally added with a hood and a mask.
 * A version of Spider-Gwen (under the alias of Spider-Girl) appears in The Amazing Avengers. In this version, she is a student of Captain America's Avengers Academy program.
 * A version of Spider-Gwen (using the alias of Ghost-Spider) appears in Ultimate Marvel: Earth-2. Described as the 12-year-old pre-teenage daughter of Commissioner George Stacy, this version is Cassie Lang's maternal older cousin, who has a good relationship with Peter and his friends, whom she enjoys spending time with. She later assumed the mantle of Ghost-Spider after being bitten by a radioactive spider. She is Kamala Khan's best friend (with whom she shares the same birthday date) and had become Ghost-Spider six months before Cassie first became Ant-Girl.
 * She makes a short appearance in Avengers: Inhumans Unleashed, voiced by an uncredited Tara Strong. She appears in a post-credit scene set in another reality where she and Devil Dinosaur intercept a robbery in the New York Main Museum before going to have fun in Central Park.
 * Gwen Stacy / Spider-Woman appears in the second and third seasons of Avengers Unleashed, voiced by Mae Whitman. She is one of the Avengers' allies from parallel realities and resides in the Ultimate Universe, where Miles Morales became Spider-Man on the wake of their Earth's Peter Parker's death.
 * Gwen Stacy / Spider-Woman appears in The Spectacular Spider-Man: New Warriors Unleashed, voiced by Lacey Chabert. In the show (following the events of Seasons 1 and 2), she starts out as one of Peter Parker's two former lovers (along with Liz Allan) who remain friends with him and learns of his secret life as Spider-Man. She becomes Spider-Woman after being bitten by a lab spider created by Spencer Smythe in Oscorp and receiving an advanced version of Spider-Man's Web-shooters (which can conjure her own Web Suit via nanotech) provided for her by Reed Richards / Mr. Fantastic. In her first appearance as Spider-Woman, Gwen used a high-tech device to disguise her voice (with the disguised voice done by Catherine Taber) to surprise Spider-Man until he figured out her identity.
 * She also appears in Iago PUC's version of Marvel's Spider-Man, voiced by Laura Bailey. While most of her story is the same as in the original version of the show, she becomes aware of Spider-Man's identity of Peter Parker after he and Miles Morales battle against Crossbones's mercenaries and she and Anya Corazon get bitten by two spiders which were to be collected by Crossbones for the Red Skull. The two girls also express for Peter the same support they have for Miles. While Spider-Man and Miles (as Kid Arachnid) team up with Captain America and Iron Man against the Red Skull and Jackal, Gwen and Anya earn training with Black Widow on their spider powers. Gwen soon adopts the Ghost-Spider moniker. She and Anya (on her alias of Spider-Girl) along with Peter and Miles, form the Web Warriors team. She and the Web Warriors are soon renamed "Champions" after other non-spider heroes (including Tigra, White Wolf and Wave) join the team.
 * Ghost-Spider / Gwen Stacy appears in Marvel's Ant-Girl, voiced again by Laura Bailey. As revealed in Marvel's Spider-Man, Gwen is Cassie Lang's maternal older cousin, and she occasionally acts as her crime-fighting companion and as a voice of reason over some of Cassie's mischiefs.
 * Ghost-Spider is among the featured Marvel superheroes in Marvel's Transformers: Unite and Roll Out, voiced again by Laura Bailey.
 * Ghost-Spider / Gwen Stacy appears in Marvel's Spider-Man: Webbed Champion, voiced by Laura Bailey. Her story and details (including being a Horizon High School student and best friends with Anya Corazon) are the same as in the canon version of the series until "Between Ock and a Hard Place". In "On the Tiger's Claws", she is among many of Peter Parker's friends who had discovered his secret as Spider-Man following his battle against a Neuro-Cortex-powered Otto Octavius / Doctor Octopus, and expressed support about it. Gwen and Anya also befriend Peter's girlfriend Mary Jane Watson, and learn of her nature as the feline princess Tigra. Gwen also has a major role in the "City of Heroes" arc, where she retains her dormant Spider-powers from the Man-Spider incident after coming in contact with the Bloodgem, and adopts the identity of Ghost-Spider in "Part 1: Spider-Gwen Returns". Along with a new suit (a one-piece white leotard version of Black Widow's costume, with a blue variant of the logo, a pair of long gloves and boots, a white hood and mouth mask), she also uses a nanotech device which enables her to bypass and phase through solid objects. In "Part 3: American Cats", Gwen also develops a secret crush on fellow classmate Kevin Walker / American Knight. Gwen is also revealed to be a member of the Pym family; being the oldest of Hank Pym's grandchildren, and Cassie Lang's maternal older cousin. She and other teenage heroines (Mary Jane / Tigra, Liz Allan / Firestar, Michelle Jones / Wave, and Anya / Spider-Girl) become the main focus of "What Girls Are Made Of" (the only episode where Peter / Spider-Man does not appear); officially in the third and last segment "Web of Shadows", where Ghost-Spider and Spider-Girl team up with Cindy Moon / Silk in stopping Madame Hydra. Later in the "Family Business" arc, she is among Peter's friends who help him finish his parents' secret projects, and bring their persecutors (including Red Skull and Norman Osborn) to justice. Gwen is the one who gives AC-5 the nickname "Ace", and suggests the fourth experiment to be named "Mantis". Later in the end of the arc, she and Anya are brought to tears of joy when Peter is happily reunited with his long lost younger sister Teresa, whom they also welcome in open arms. For the remainder of the series, Ghost-Spider is among the young heroes who form the Champions. In "Mother Focus", Gwen discovers that Raymond Warren (driven mad by the death of his daughter Sarah years ago) was not truly her uncle, and that he merely took her in to his care after trapping Gwen's mother Helen in the Quantum Realm for 10 years. In the climax, Gwen's friends and Cassie help her retrieve Helen from the Quantum Realm, with Helen recovering in a hospital while Gwen makes changes in Warren's former home so that Helen will fit in. It is later mentioned in the next episode "Road to the Legendary Universes" that Helen has started a chess club dubbed War of Kingdoms following her complete recovery. In the "Legendary Universes" arc, Gwen is among Spider-Man's teammates who join him in his journey across the dimensions his parents explored to obtain the source of their scientific projects and destroy the Oscorp protocols which were discarded before the Regent can collect them. She takes part of the trip in "Part 5: Of Spiders and Turtles", where she and the Spider-powered Champions team up with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to stop a clan of ninjas mutated by the Jackal's Animal Formulas, and solve the origins of the substance which created Mantis. Ghost-Spider is primarily partnered with Michelangelo throughout the episode.
 * Gwen / Ghost-Spider also appears in Princesses of Destiny. In Issue #5 "The Owl's Gambit", her mother Helen is invited by Pepper Potts to be a guest teacher in Bilderberg Academy, where Helen teaches Teresa Parker and her classmates about chess, before announcing that she will be hosting a chess tournament at the War of Kingdoms facility, which includes giant-sized chess boards with holographic pieces based on different teams of characters which can destroy each other depending on players' moves through their control towers. Gwen appears as a guest of the tournament alongside Anya Corazon, as they watch as Carlie Cooper and Teresa take part in the championship. Gwen also watches to her amusement as Teresa humiliates Flash Thompson (who has little experience in chess) by easily defeating him in a match. In the final issue "Princesses of Destiny", Gwen is among the female superheroes who join forces to stop Amora the Enchantress.
 * The same version returns in the show's first Disney+ sequel miniseries Marvel's Spider-Man: Rising Legend, voiced again by Laura Bailey.
 * She also appears in the show's follow-up Disney+ movie A Marvel Christmas Carol, voiced again by Laura Bailey. She is first seen as Ghost-Spider among the heroes battling Frost Giants in New York. Later, during the preparation for the Christmas party at F.E.A.S.T., Gwen and Anya Corazon are shown with Aunt May having picked a few alternatives for what Teresa Parker should wear in the party. The girls are also shown overhearing from Mary Jane Watson about Vincent Dawson's condition while voicing disgust over Franklin Todd's poor treating of him. Gwen also wishes her cousin Cassie Lang good luck on hers and Peter Parker's plan to reform Todd with help from Doctor Strange. Her Ghost-Spider form is later seen in a Christmas Eve party held at the main F.E.A.S.T. Shelter during Peter's act as the Ghost of Christmas Present. Later, during Cloak's act as the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come and Dagger's second act as the "Soul Chain" and their show of an alternate future (which would occur had Todd not changed his ways), Gwen is shown in the alternate future with Anya, voicing little sympathy over Todd's death, and later comforting Vincent over his ill son Cody's death, claiming they will miss him too. Later in the end, Gwen is shown exchanging gifts with her friends while pleased to hear that Peter, Cassie, Groot, Cloak and Dagger were successful in reforming Todd, and allowing the Dawson family a second chance to live peacefully.
 * The same version returns in the second Disney+ sequel Marvel's Superhero Adventures: Infinity War, voiced again by Laura Bailey. She and her fellow Champions team up with the Avengers, the Fantastic Four and the Guardians of the Galaxy to link the Infinity Stones into the Infinity Amulet, and stop Thanos and his forces from conquering the universe. Gwen is also revealed to have started a romantic relationship with Kevin. In the film's climax, she joins the final battle against Thanos's armies until they are sent back to the Sanctuary X. In the epilogue, she along with her friends, and her mother Helen attend to Jessica Reilly's marriage with Alana Jobson.
 * Gwen / Ghost-Spider returns in the second Disney+ sequel miniseries Marvel's All-Star Multiverse, voiced again by Bailey. Appearing as a main character in the show's short-episode series Free Adventures, Gwen is among Peter Parker's friends who join him and Mary Jane Watson in their world road trip onboard their personal jetplane provided by Tony Stark. In the first main episode "Return of the Legends", she and her friends create the Horizon Star, a special playground with attractions based on the Legendary Universes’ wonders. Inaugurating the playground by hosting a playdate for the children of the Avengers, Gwen personally invites her little cousin Cassie Lang to be part of the playdate. She and the gang stay to look after the children while the Avengers and the Fantastic Four work alongside the Legendary Warriors on pursuing Thane. By the end of the episode, Gwen and Cassie are the first who witness the arrival of the Skycruiser Commandos on Earth by spotting Princess Athena and her soldiers destroy a A.I.M. facility. In the next episode "The Sky's the Limit", Ghost-Spider and her teammates visit Babylon-6, where they overhear the public presentation of the Skycruisers. In "Identities and Truths", Gwen accompanies Mary Jane Watson in giving Princess Athena a tour around Horizon High and the Triskelion, during which the two also help Athena learn more about her past and origins. In "War of the Realms", Gwen / Ghost-Spider is among the heroes who work in stopping the turf wars between supervillains orchestrated by Thane. In the episode's post-credit scene, she is informed by Carlie Cooper and Miles "Tails" Prower of their success in deciphering the signal discovered by Cinderfire, and the search for the missing heroes by tracking down Stark’s signal. In the finale "One Universe, One Realm", Ghost-Spider participates the final battle against Thane and his forces.
 * Gwen Stacy / Ghost-Spider appears in Marvel: All New, All Different Chronicles, voiced by Mae Whitman. As in the Ultimate Marvel: Earth-2 comic series, Gwen is introduced as the maternal older cousin of Cassie Lang. Also in the show, she currently lives with Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne after her parents were killed during the Oscorp Riot where Peter Parker lost his uncle Ben. In her civilian life, she is a student at the same boarding school as Miles Morales / Kid Arachnid and Leo Alexander / Nova. She is also a close friend to Peter Parker and his classmates, with whom she enjoys spending time with. She and Peter also sympathize with each other over the loss of their loved ones. This version does not have organic spider powers as in the comics, but became Ghost-Spider after coming in possession of a prototype Quantum Realm particle suit of her own, which uses similar functions of her uncle's Ant-Man suit and Peter's Spider-Man powers and technology, added with phasing functions.
 * Gwen Stacy appears in Marvel’s The Avenging Spider-Man, voiced by Mae Whitman. She is Commissioner Stacy's 13-year-old daughter and one of Kamala Khan's best friends (along with Anya Corazon), who are the only two of her friends aware of Kamala's secret life as Ms. Marvel (and also of Spider-Man's identity of Peter Parker).

Joint ideas

 * Emma Stone portrays Gwen Stacy / Ghost-Spider in Avengers: Multiverse of Legends. This version (based on the character from Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man film series) had her universe pruned by the TVA (Time Variance Authority) agents after Gwen "committed a Nexus Event" by being bitten by the radioactive spider "when it should have been Peter Parker". Escaping the TVA with help from Sylvie (the female Variant of Loki), Gwen spent the rest of her life travelling across numerous dimensions until there was one she could call home. Eventually, after the 2012 Loki variant and Quentin Beck / Mysterio accidentally break the Multiverse open, Gwen joins the New Avengers in fixing everything, although she resents from Mobius M. Mobius and Loki for being still loyal to the TVA. She also bonds with Parker #2 (who had become Spider-Man, and lost his universe's Gwen Stacy during the fight against Harry Osborn / Green Goblin).
