Spider-Gwen (ATSV)

Gwen Stacy was born in the 2000s in the Chelsea borough of New York City. She was born as the only daughter of police officer George Stacy and his wife Helen Stacy. Helen died early on in Gwen's childhood, resulting in George having to raise her on his own and Gwen not getting to know her mother well, if at all. George's career as a police officer would inspire Gwen to live to uphold the law and help others. George was close friends with the Parker family who were their neighbour's. Gwen met and befriended Peter Parker in her childhood, forming a close bond with him throughout the years and grew to consider him her only friend. In late 2016, a thirteen year old Gwen was bitten by a radioactive spider, giving her superhuman powers and abilities. These included superhuman strength and reflexes, as well as an ability to adhere to walls, and a precognitive sense that could prevent her from being hurt by any danger. Being inspired by her father's career, she resolved to use her newfound spider-like abilities to fight crime and help others as she became the vigilante known as Spider-Woman. The Lizard slammed Gwen into a wall before she carelessly kicked the beast into a pillar causing the entire ceiling of the building to collapse onto him. Seeing that the Lizard had been defeated, Gwen rushed to the creature's body only to find that it was her best friend Peter. Grabbing Peter, she tried to understand what had happened but Peter simply told her that he just wanted to be special like her. Upon Peter using her real name, Gwen grabbed his hand in shock over the revelation that he knew her real identity all along, preventing him from seeing her tearful face as she begged him not to go. Peter died in her arms as she held him close and sobbed into his body. After these events Gwen distanced herself from others as a way to avoid "distractions" as well as to avoid losing someone else, assuming that anyone close to her would get hurt just like Peter.
