**Jessica Drew**, also known by her birthname, **Teresa Parker,** also known by her heroic alter-ego, **Scarlet Spider**, is an American crime-fighting superhero, a high-level clearance agent/mercenary for SHIELD, the sister of Peter Parker who is the universe's first Web Warrior. She is a core member of the New Avengers line-up of heroes that was established after the death of Tony Stark.

Teresa, as she was named by her parents Richard and Mary Parker, was the twin sister of Peter Parker. Her parents were Oscorp subdivision scientists. One day, she and her parents inadvertently stumbled across Norman Osborn and the Kingpin of Crime, Wilson Fisk, assassinating a snitch, later discovering more documentations and records that could criminalize Norman Osborn. After they were caught to be present during Osborn's crime, Richard and Mary left Peter behind with his uncle and aunt, and went on the run with Teresa, who was also present when Osborn killed someone from his illegal operations. Teresa was left off at an orphanage after her parents realized that someone was on their trail. They alerted Nick Fury about her location so she could be safe. Although Fury did safely extract her, he was too late in preventing the assassinations of Richard and Mary Parker, and was unable to recover the evidence they were about to send to him regarding Osborn's offences.

Drew was rendered immobile and nearly catatonic after learning of her parent's death. Fury realized that all of what was happening was too much for the little girl and decided to wipe her memories selectively and start her life anew, naming her Jessica Drew, after his old partner, who lost her life in the field. Drew was trained as an agent of SHIELD from a very young age, becoming very proficient and extremely skilled in the arts of deception, combat, stealth, weapons wielding, information extraction, technology and fighting, becoming the academy's top agent, known for her reserved, broody, no-nonsense nature and being coined with an infamous nickname she used to dislike, as "Fury's super-secret Spy Kid." Although she maintained a very tough image, in reality, she was actually a very light-hearted, sarcastic and positive-thinking person, forced to exhibit a tough outer-appearance due to the conditions of her 'workplace.'

Jessica soon reunited with her brother, Peter Parker and Miles Morales, the two Spider-Men to hunt down a so-called assassin with similar spider-powers dubbed the Ghost Spider. Fury eventually revealed everything about their past, about her real name, her history, her connection and lineage linked with the Parkers as well as everything else. It was too much for her to absorb so she had become angry with Fury for hiding the very facets of her life from her. They soon unearthed that the Ghost Spider was the result of human experiments conducted by HYDRA, the Life Foundation and Otto Octavius' artificial intelligence inducted into a clone body, to replicate the powers of Spider-Man onto others to create shadow assassins.

The heroes disassemble the remnants of HYDRA, the Life Foundation, and infiltrate Otto's base, where all his genetically engineered radioactive super-spiders are freed. They catch up to the Ghost Spider, who Drew unexpectedly forms a connection with and deciphers that he isn't actually evil but bent under someone else's will. She is able to reactivate some part of Kaine's lost humanity before he escapes. The Ghost Spider breaks free from Otto's brainwashing and joins the Web Warriors. The modified super-spiders in Otto's laboratories bite Cindy Moon and Jessica, who both end up receiving spider-powers. Jessica, Cindy, Parker, Morales, Kaine and SHIELD fight Otto and HYDRA, and stop the mad doctor's plans of creating a Spider-Island.Drew decides to start operating as a Web Warrior, designing a suit for herself and becoming the SHIELD stealth agent/superhero reknowned as the Scarlet Spider.

Drew decides to go after Kaine who relocates to Italy, feeling bad for the man, whose life had been entrenched in misery and trauma. She wanted to help him become more 'human' again. Although Kaine was very hesitant of getting close with her, rejecting every notion of partnering up with her or letting her help him be more open and free of his inner-demons, Drew pushed and pushed until he finally gave in to giving humanity a chance again. The two soon become lovers and a crime-fighting Web Warriors duo, under SHIELD and SWORD. Drew struggles a long time, going through an existential crisis, regarding her identity, opting to go by both of her names; Teresa to her family, and Drew to her colleagues, believing both names are of equal importance to her.

Drew becomes an Avenger, an important Web Warrior and a famous superhero down the line, eventually tying the knot with Kaine, travelling internationally, combating against international threats as a superhero couple.
