Character Analysis: Spider-Gwen

 

Background

Abridged Version - She got bit by a spider and stuff. This time, Peter Parker is Uncle Ben.


The Longer/More Detailed Version - Gwen Stacey was born to George and Helen Stacey in New York. One day, she was bitten by a radioactive spider created by her Earth’s Cindy Moon and gained your typical Spider-Man-esque superpowers as a result, becoming Spider-Gwen. Unfortunately, becoming Spider-Gwen would lead to one of the biggest tragedies in her life. Earth-65’s Peter Parker, who was often bullied and neglected by others. Desperate to become someone special like Gwen, Peter conducted experiments that would transform him into the villainous Lizard, and Gwen would be forced to fight against him.
