Before you talk about the superheroin Gwen Spider, you need to consider the story of the very first Gwen Stacy, which appeared in the comics of the 60s.
Biography of the original Gwen Stacy
The debut of Gwendolyn Stacy took place in the 31st issue of a solo ongoing about Spiderman. She studied at the same university with Peter Parker, but he initially did not pay any attention to the girl. At that time, all of Peter's attention was concentrated on his sick aunt, and he simply did not have time for a relationship with the opposite sex. But over time, when personal problems were resolved, Parker began to increasingly draw closer to Gwendolyn.
Unfortunately, the romantic relationship between Peter and Gwen began to burst at the seams almost from the very beginning. For the first time, they were on the verge of breaking up when the mesmerized captain Stacy, father of Gwendolyn, suddenly attacked Parker. Seeing a fight between her father and her boyfriend, the girl thought that it was Peter who first attacked her parent. Over time, when the truth crawled out, the lovers made peace.
The second serious test in the relationship between these two was the death of Father Gwen. Spider-Man fought Doctor Octopus, and during the battle, the villain destroyed part of the apartment building, the wreckage of which fell on Captain Stacy. Heartbroken daughter began to blame the web character for what happened and flew to the capital of England in order to recover from the tragedy. After Peter's failed attempts to forge a relationship, Gwen eventually returned to New York to her lover.
Death of Gwendolyn Stacy
The most tragic event in the life of Peter Parker was the death of Gwen at the hands of the crazy maniac Green Goblin. The distraught supervillain threw the girl off the bridge, which was the reason for her sudden death. This event turned upside down both superhero comics and the life of Spider-Man.
Gwen. Actresses who embodied her on the big screen
In the movie, Gwendolyn Stacy appeared twice: the first time in the film "Spider-Man 3", and the second - in the dilogy "New Spider-Man". In the first version, Gwen was a student who studied with Parker at the same university. Unlike the original comics, the local Miss Stacy maintained a romantic relationship with Eddie Brock (future villain Venom), and not with the main character. The actress who played her is called Bryce Dallas Howard.
The second appearance of this heroine took place in the movie franchise "New Spider-Man", which was not connected with previous films about stenolaz. The local Gwen was played by actress Emma Stone. In the story, she was a classmate of the protagonist, with whom he had a love relationship. It was she who became the first person to recognize the secret of the identity of her lover.
Gwen Spider
Now, having examined the biography of the first Gwen Stacy, we can proceed to its version from the parallel Universe Earth-65. This Gwendolyn is strikingly different from its original, because in this reality, the modified spider did not bite Peter Parker, but her.
Gwen Spider was invented by comic books Jason Latour and Robbie Rodriguez. The debut of this character took place in September 2014 in the comic strip Edge of Spider-Verse # 2, which tells about a global event in the life of Spider-Man from all corners of the multiverse. During the Spider-Verse, Gwen Spider and other heroes with spider powers battled supervillain Morlan and his family.
Many readers liked the new version of Gwendolyn Stacy so much that the Marvel leadership without hesitation gave green light to the Gwen Spider solo comic book.
Spider Woman Superpowers (Gwen Stacy)
The skills of this version of Gwen are not very different from those that the original Spider-Man boasts. She has superhuman strength, incredible dexterity, spider instinct and the ability to stick to the walls. In addition, she has her own cobwebs created by Janet van Dyne from Earth-65. Their only difference from the original web shooters is that they have a mechanism that can control the stickiness of the web using incoming air moisture. Of the additional technologies, Spider-Gwen also has special watches with which she can travel to alternative universes.
In addition to all of the above, Gwen here has impressive deductive abilities and talent for drumming for her age.
