====Comics====
*A version of Anya Corazon exists in The Amazing Avengers. This version is introduced as Anya Corazon-Rogers, one of the grandchildren of Steve Rogers. She was five years old when the Avengers first banded together. Eight years later, Anya became Midtown High's most beloved cheerleader, nicknamed "Princess Marvel" to honor her heroine Captain Marvel (Mary Jane Watson).

This version is the Hulk and Scarlet Witch's 11-year-old adopted daughter who was raised as an infant after the Abomination's rampage resulted in the death of her parents. Anya soon became Meteorite after being exposed to the energies of an Asteroid shard which contained duplicated energy from her adoptive parents' powers, granting her the abilities of flight, increased physical strength, phasing and to absorb and redirect energy. She has been Meteorite at the same period Kamala Khan first became Ms. Marvel.
====TV shows and movies====
*Anya Corazon is a central character in Iago PUC's version of Marvel's Spider-Man, voiced by Melanie Minichino. As in the original show, she is a top student in Horizon High School and Gwen Stacy's best friend. She becomes Spider-Girl in episode Webs and Shields after she and Gwen are bitten by two radioactive spiders, discover Spider-Man's identity of Peter Parker and train under Black Widow's tutelage. She is also among the founding members of the Web Warriors (later renamed Champions).
**Anya also appears as a recurring character in the series's spin-off web series Marvel's Ant-Girl, voiced again by Melanie Minichino.

Like Ms. Marvel, she appears alongside Spider-Man and Nick Fury in certain encounters with the Thunderbolts, and is shown to be rather disgusted with most of the team members' violent actions. She also does not like hearing or saying curse words, but (according to Spider-Man) makes an exception when pushed to a breaking point.

As in the comics, she also has organic webbing. Despite her superhero alias of Araña being public knowledge like her father's alias of the Hulk is, she is still accepted by citizens as a heroine. She is a junior student in S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy like other young heroes whose identities are know to the public.

Later in episodes "Brand New Champions" and "Real Wild Initiation", Spider-Girl becomes one of the founding members of the Champions along with Spider-Man and the rest of his friends. Anya and Gwen also welcome Kamala Khan to Horizon High. In "Mother Focus", Anya helps Gwen find a way to retrieve her mother Helen from the Quantum Realm.
