relationship after a near-death experience Felicia felt that her lack of superpowers made her a nuisance to Spider-Man he would feel the overbearing need to protect her constantly while he was away black cat sought to gain a set of powers she was offered to undergo a process that would give her powers similar to those of the Scorpion and the Fly this offer was given to her by none other than the Kingpin who is one of the most powerful mob bosses of the East Coast she happened to gain the power of tyok Kinesis or luck manipulation which eventually allowed her to generate good and bad luck she also possessed retractable sharp claws Valerie de libran Valerie de Lian was one of the first spider women to exist she was created even before Jessica Drew she first made an appearance in an animated TV show named The Electric Company the show ran as an educational children's show in the 70s Valerie the librarian was a recurring character in the section of the same show called Spidey super stories

of the five for which five people come together with five Arcane relics when these relics are bought together the ones who possess them can either be blessed or cursed with certain qualities these can be either power knowledge immortality insanity or death The Twist lies in the fact that these qualities are not what they seem at first in this sense what seemed like Madness was actually knowledge

Gathering of the five she needed help in subduing her granddaughter Charlotte Witter Jessica Drew and Julia Carpenter along with Maddie Franklin helped Madame web Arachne in Greek mythology Arachne

bright and full of opportunities this path was laid to rest when she was sacrificed to revive Craven to huntter Mary Jane Watson in the most curious scenario Peter Parker's main love interest also played the role of a heroic and very Sapphic spiderwood women in a whole different reality in an alternate universe which was named as Legacy Planet most of Earth's existing Superheroes Were seemingly consumed by a deadly virus the Legacy virus the Legacy virus was a deadly plague that plowed through the mutant population the virus began mutating to the point where it became deadly even to humans the Exiles which are a dimension hopping superhero group from different realities who were sent out to resolve problems within the Multiverse they landed in the universe to join the Earth resistance where they found Mary Jane and as Spiderwoman contributing to the same cause Mary Jane Watson in Legacy Planet posed as a direct counterpart to Peter Parker of Earth 616 she had all the powers that Spider-Man possessed in this reality when two of the members of the Exiles returned to this reality for a later Mission Mary Jane fell in love with one of them Mary Jane who was part of the Avengers in her reality fell in love with Sunfire who was the counterpart of the X-Men hero both the women knew they had limited time together her as the Exiles could be recalled and pulled away at any given moment after sunfire's tragic death she was buried on the Legacy Planet so Mary Jane could visit her grave whenever she wished Mary Jane herself was killed by morlon The Immortal vampiric being but it is said that she was resurrected later on spider AKA Ashley Barton Ashley Barton is the daughter of Hawkeye and Tona Barton Tona is also Peter Parker's youngest daughter in the issue of The Amazing Spider-Man Volume 3 number 10 her code name was changed from spider to Spiderwoman and Spider Girl to make it suitable for family and children children while she got possession of her grandfather's web shooters she didn't gain the full degree of superhuman powers from Peter though it is said that she has an unknown degree of enhanced strength and Agility Ashley disapproved of the way that Kingpin controlled the area of hammer Falls AKA Las Vegas to deal with this she gathered a group of superheroes and tried to seize his territory only to be caught and put in line for the news when Hawkeye her father broke her out of prison she was astounded to discover that his daughter had managed to kill Kingpin for the purpose of taking over his territory and becoming the new kingin herself she served this role after undergoing extensive self-taught physical training already abusing her newly gained power she attempted to kill her own father and took full control of the wastelands herself Hawkeye was then rescued by Logan and Ashley sent her minion after both of them years later Ashley went by the Alias of spider girl or Spiderwoman she was hired by Dr Octavius to kill k k who is also known as the master Weaver was originally part of the inheritors a group of people who swore to kill all who had spider powers across the Multiverse she managed to survive the conflict and return back to her reality with the remaining surviving spider people Julia Carpenter Julia Carpenter made her first appearance in the comic Secret Wars number six which was released in 1984 Julia Carpenter is considered one of the most iconic spider women the story of how she came to gain her powers is very interesting a secret government organization known as the commission on superhuman activities wished to create their own superhero one of Julia's College friends convinced her to be a part of an athletic study for the commission unbeknownst to Julia she was injected with a mix of spider venom and exotic plant extracts this gave her powers similar to Spider-Man and she became a secret government weapon some powers that she possesses are that of regeneration and superhuman tactile sense along with all the other superhuman abilities we've discussed so far Julia found herself drawn into Marvel's Secret Wars after which she joined the Freedom Force the Freedom Force was created when mystique and the US government reached the agreement to Pardon all the past crimes of mutants Spiderwoman joined his team to work against xfactor she became a fugitive when she freed the arrested Avengers but eventually surrendered to the government even after being arrested she met up with and aided the West Coast Avengers on several occasions Julia Carpenter's main enemies were her own Rogues created by the commission known as the death web the death web consisted of three villains who kidnapped Julia's daughter Rachel the deal for the ransom that was demanded was that Julia would have to kill Spider-Man while she nearly did kill him she couldn't bring herself to take his life together Spider-Man and Julia Carpenter as Spiderwoman saved Rachel when her powers were absorbed by Charlotte Witter Julia decided to take a break from the thrilling life of a superhero to instead focus on raising racial properly she returned eventually Now using the code name Arachne which was previously used by Jessica Drew she even played the role of a double agent and a superhuman Civil War Vari varank is one of the rare spider women who isn't human she is the scroll Empress that arranged the secret Invasion to refresh our memory the secret invasion was the attempt made by a faction of shape-shifting Scrolls to infiltrate and take over Humanity during the secret Invasion veran posed as Jessica Drew AKA Spiderwoman while the real Jessica Drew was captured at a Hydra which was abundant with scroll sleeper agents varank also underwent the scroll infiltration ritual this was a process wherein the Scrolls were imbued with the powers and memories of the subjects they selected to impersonate so on top of all the powers she had as a scroll Empress she also gave all of Jessica's Powers she possessed the ability of bioelectric blasts pherom mode secretion which mostly worked on men and energy manipulation Scarlet witch created an alternate reality in which the wishes of the Avengers came true and mutants were the ones who ruled the world much to her disappointment Jessica's wishes came true and not veranes when Captain America confronted her she admitted to being a double agent but for Hydra many superheroes were almost killed or put in extreme danger all thanks to veran in a lot of ways her goals for the secret Invasion were success uccessful eventually she was beaten by Wolverine and Hawkeye shortly after she was killed by Norman Osborne what are some of the best alternate versions of the spider girls after every Spider Woman and Spider Girl we've spoken about so far here are even more alternate options to the traditional spiderwomen these posed as remarkable Alternatives should a live-action Spiderwoman movie or TV show be created another person who holds great potential for the next Spiderwoman is May Parker also known as May Mayday Parker from The mc2 alternate universe this alternate universe showed us the future of Marvel and its superheroes when it first came into existence May's first appearance was in a comic series titled what if number 105 that was released in 1998 she is the daughter of none other than Peter Parker and Mary Jane and possesses all the same abilities as her father though she goes by many names currently as Spider Girl She has been featured in a lot of interdimensional story lines for the comics as well while we already spoke about the classic Jessica Drew of Earth 616 the ultimate Jessica Drew is in fact a clone of Peter Parker she was part of the ultimate comic series that came out in the 2000s she possesses all of Spider-Man's powers and the ability to make silk spinning webs from her fingertips another character from the ultimate comic series that would make a great Spiderwoman is Kitty Pride the transition from being a part of the X-Men to becoming Spiderwoman for a moment in time was quite smooth for her this was goed by the fact that kitty and Peter go to the same school and even dated for a while she helped Peter after she had adopted the Spiderwoman persona for a short while next we're talking about May Riley from Earth 803 May's first appearance was in a comic issue of spiderverse number one that was released in 2014 she is considered to be one of the best variations of spiderwomen due to her cool steampunk style she doesn't have any superhuman Powers but instead a very impressive set of mechanical spider legs similar to Madame web our next alternative is bound to get some Giggles from solely her name introducing May porker or swy girl she first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man family number four which was released in April of 2009 she comes from the same insanely unhinged universe as spiderham both the anthropomorphic superheroes are from Earth 8311 May porker is the counterpart of Mayday Parker from her Universe she wears a black suit similar to Julia Carpenter and lastly we have our dear Gwen Stacy her character has become even more popular since the release of Spider-Man across the spiderverse she is also known as Spider Gwen originally she was killed by the Green Goblin in the 1970s but then revealed to be Spiderwoman in her home universe in her reality she was the one bitten by the irradiated spider instead of Peter Parker that gave her all the powers conclusion so there you have it a long and comprehensive list of all our dearest araed women who had been totally owning the spider superhero scene most of these are very familiar to comic book fans and might have been briefly mentioned in movies or TV series as a wise man once said with great power comes great responsibility being blessed with superhuman abilities the skill to swing from skyscrapers to rooftops and dealing with a manness across multiverses can be an immense duty to fulfill can fans hope to see more spider women on screens in the foreseeable future we can't wait to find out if you liked our content don't forget to leave a like And subscribe to us if you
