An alternate universe, Gwen Stacy is bitten by a radioactive spider and becomes a Super Heroine.
Within the world of Marvel comics, few characters have as many versions as Spider-Man. The most recent imagining sticking in the minds of fans, and earning a standalone series, is that of Spider-Gwen. She is the spider-themed superhero of Earth-65, and an alternate version of Gwen Stacy. Gwen Stacy (Spider-Gwen™) is a key character who has been around for a long time in the Spider-Man™ franchise. She is one of the main protagonists alongside Miles Morales in Spider-Man™: Into the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man™: Across the Spider-Verse.
Gwen is a teenager who also goes by the superhero name Spider-Gwen™. Like her fellow Spider-People, she was bitten by a radioactive spider and gained superhuman abilities. She is known for her distinctive pink, white, and black costume featuring a hooded cape and blue sneakers.In this reality, it's Gwen who gets bitten by a genetically engineered spider and becomes a superhero.
First and foremost, the fact that Gwen is alive in this reality was enough to draw readers in. As one of the most famously fridged characters in pop culture, Spider-Gwen gives Gwen Stacy a chance to reach her full potential as a character. Giving her spider powers on top of that makes for a completely new hero that fans were already rooting for. Also, for fans of Spider-Man, she does deliver.
In most ways, Spider-Gwen and Spider-Man are equals-- both received superhuman strength, agility, and heightened senses. They even have the same sense of sarcasm and wit. However, there are a handful of things that Spider-Gwen can do, but Spider-Man cannot. This list won't argue that one is better than the other, instead, it will simply point out differences displayed in both the comics and television.
Spider-Gwen is an ongoing comic book series published by Marvel Comics that began February 2015.
