Spider-Woman/Earth-65

"
Alright, people. Let's start at the beginning one last time. My name is Gwen Stacy. I was bitten by a radioactive spider. And for the last two years, I've been the one and only Spider-Woman. You guys know the rest. I joined a band. Saved my dad. I couldn't save my best friend, Peter Parker. So now I save everyone else.
"

—Gwen Stacy[src]

**Gwendolyn Maxine "Gwen" Stacy** was bitten by a radioactive spider, gaining extraordinary powers and becoming the vigilante known as **Spider-Woman** of Earth-65. Gwen's life took a tumultuous turn when she encountered Miles Morales, another Spider-Person from Earth-1610, and together with a diverse group of web-slingers, they embarked on a mission to stop the nefarious Kingpin's plot to merge multiple realities.

Gwen grew progressively depressed at the thought of her departure from Miles, but didn't let it get in the way of her vigilantism, which was unveiled before her father when neutralizing another multiversal threat, allied by a team of Spider-People. Gwen joined this organization, sent out to spy on the villain Spot in Miles' universe months later, the latter aiding her in the pursuit of the Spot. Resulting in the unraveling of Earth-50101, despite her trying to have Miles adhere to Spider-Society code, Gwen had to watch Miles scolded by her leader, who ordered her and his subordinates to chase him down.

Gwen eventually chose to rebel against the Spider-Society, leading to her return back home, rekindling with her father, and access to her friend Hobie Brown's homemade Dimensional Travel Watch. Handed out to Gwen's old Spider-Gang, including ex-Spider-Society members, Gwen vowed to search for an Earth-42-displaced Miles.
