PETER PARKER HAS COMPETITION

Before superhero fans claim that Spiderwoman doesn’t exist, they should first look at the comics. Spiderwoman does exist in the comics, and the name is used by several women in the Marvel Comics universe. The first Spiderwoman was Jessica Drew, a woman who is injected with a serum of spider blood by her father to save her life.

Julia Carpenter has also been Spiderwoman, while Gwen Stacey did justice to the role in another universe. Given the popularity of the “Spider-Man” comics, the creators were worried that someone might steal their idea and create a Spiderwoman. So they decided to protect their interests by creating Spiderwoman themselves.
