Prior to becoming a superhero, Gwen was the daughter of NYPD Captain George Stacy, who tried to instill his views on his rebellious daughter. Gwen eventually became best friends with the Peter of her world, becoming almost inseparable. Gwen would also become friends with Earth-65's Mary Jane Watson, Betty Brant, and Glory Grant.; the four would form a rock band called the Mary Janes, with Gwen as its drummer.

During their time in Midtown High, Peter would become Spider-Man after being bitten by a radioactive spider. After running into Gwen multiple times as his alter ego, Peter would eventually tell her of his secret identity. Surprisingly, Gwen was supportive of her friend, offering advice to him when needed. Three years later, Gwen would be bitten by a radioactive spider, thus gaining abilities of her own. Wanting to become a hero like Peter, the latter agreed to teach her. Donning a costume of her own, Gwen took up the alias **Spider-Girl** before changing it to Spider-Woman. However, their partnership and friendship came to a tragic end when Peter sacrificed himself to save her and all of New York City from Jackal; Gwen's uncle. Wanting to continue Peter's legacy, Gwen continued to fight crime as Spider-Woman. But the pain of losing her friend was too much for her, resulting in the Mary Janes breaking up, and Gwen failing to save her father. Nonetheless, Gwen persisted, at the cost of her personal life.

At some point in 2018, Gwen was pulled into the multiverse and sent to an undesignated Earth known as Remnant. She was not the only one as the Peter Parker/Spider-Man from Earth-616 was also on Remnant; in his universe, Gwen Stacy was his girlfriend who died after he failed to save her. Operated from the shadows, Gwen quickly learned of Hydra and their operations on Remnant through a individual named Prophet. Instead of learning more, she planned to locate the Tesseract in order to return home. She eventually became known as the **Mysterious Spider-Man**, after silently helping Jaune Arc stop Mach-IV in the Forever Fall. Her appearance quickly caught Peter's attention, who was oblivious of her identity. Eventually, Arc spotted Gwen once more in Vale, and managed to snap a rough photo of her. After seeing the photo, Peter nicknamed her **Ghost-Spider**, due to her appearance resembling that of a ghost.

Gwen would eventually cross paths with the Carnage symbiote as it made its way to Beacon before bonding with Glynda Goodwitch. After the symbiote infected Spider-Man, turning him into Spider-Carnage, Gwen, Team RWBY, JNPR, the US Agent, and Bartholemew Oobleck teamed up and managed to free him. Afterwards, Gwen left the scene, but not before admitted that she knew Peter's identity.

The following day, Gwen would be visited by Spider-Man, who discovered her real identity. The two would comfort one another as they opened up on their losses. When Peter had to leave to go and find Blake Belladonna, who left her team, he asked for her help. Fearful of failing both her Peter and him, she refused. Peter respected her choice and then left, but not before saying that she needed to step out of Spider-Man's shadow and become the hero she was meant to be. Two days later, she met up with Peter, Arc, Ruby Rose, Blake, Sun Wukong, and Penny Polendina in stopping Carnage and Mark Raxton. She nearly fell to her death, but was saved by Peter who gave up his chance at revenge on Otto Octavius to save her. Later, she agreed to work with Peter in finding Octavius and Hydra, gifting him the suit once worn by her universe's Peter.

## History

### Early Life

Gwen Stacy was born in Forest Hills, Queens on August 9, 2001, a day before Peter Parker was born. Her mother, Helen died sometime during her childhood, leaving Gwen's father George Stacy to look after her. Due to his job as a NYPD police officer, George often brought a young Gwen to the police station he worked at.

Gwen quickly developed a free-spirit and artistic personality that clashed with her father's strict morals and ethics that he worked hard to instill in his daughter. Nonetheless, she loved him dearly and he respected her ideals in return. She eventually met her neighbor, Peter Parker, and the two became close friends. Gwen would also form a bond with her uncle and brilliant scientist, Raymond Warren.

In her teenage years, Gwen, along with Peter would enroll at Midtown High as students, with both showing a fondness for science. Afterschool Gwen along with Mary Jane Watson, Betty Brant, and Glory Grant would form a band called the Mary Jane's, with Gwen as the lead drummer. Peter would regularly watch then perform.

#### Learning of Peter's Identity

During a trip to Alchemax, Peter would be bitten by a radioactive spider developed by Raymond Warren. Peter would eventually become the hero Spider-Man, which Gwen was unaware of until Peter would reveal his true identity. Rather than be angry, Gwen supported her friend as a hero, with Peter sponsoring the Mary Janes several times in return.

## Personality

### As Gwen Stacy

In her civilian life, Gwen was known to be somewhat rebellious, being free-spirited and have artistic intentions, which clashed with her father's effort to instill his morals on her, leading to her going into quite seclusion. Nonetheless, she still loved her father, who was still supportive of her ideals. She has an interest in music, hence her role as a drummer in the Mary Janes, and an "unnatural" love for corn dogs. Like her father, Gwen possesses a strong sense of justice and is a natural detective, both of which catered well to her decision to become a superhero after receiving her powers.

Beyond her family, Gwen held a deep bond and friendship with Earth-65's Peter Parker, which she would describe as "inseparable". Their friendship continued through childhood and into high school until the latter's death. She would often stand up for Peter when he was bullied in school. The two were also avid fans for science, both being extremely intelligent, though Gwen admitted that her Peter was way smarter than she ever will be. Her feelings for Peter would change during her early days as Spider-Woman, as she began to see him as more than a friend. Beyond Peter, Gwen was also friends with Mary Jane Watson, Betty Brant, and Glory Grant, with the four being part of the band, the Mary Janes.

When speaking, Gwen is known to be rather awkward and shy, much like her Peter and Earth-616's Peter. She often stumbles over her words when nervous, but his happy to talk if need be.

### As Spider-Woman

During her early days as Spider-Woman, Gwen relished in her newfound powers. Loving the popularity and thrill it gave her. This would however clash with Peter's views of being a hero, who view the job as just as thrilling, but also not that easy. Due to her being new to heroism, Gwen is still unexperienced compared to her Peter and Earth-616 Peter, who have three to four years of experience as Spider-Man respectively. Her actions often put her in dangerous and near-death situations, which led to her jokingly claiming that "Death loves Gwen Stacy". However, at the end of the day, Gwen is willing to accept responsibility for her actions and recklessness.

### The Heroine with no Purpose

Gwen's personality and life would be turned on its feet after her Peter Parker sacrificed himself to save her and New York City. Initially, Gwen tried to continue on being Spider-Woman to honor Peter's legacy. However, this only made her hurt even more, and led to her being unable to save her father, who was killed by a criminal. She ended up blaming herself for not being able to save both of them. Similar to Earth-616's Peter Parker, Gwen cut off all her friendships, including with the Mary Janes, which led to their disbandment. However, Gwen isn't as prone to anger as Peter is, instead being more emotional, retreating into isolation rather than lashing out. As shown in *Mission Remnant*, she prefers to not cross paths with Peter out of grief and pain. Nonetheless, Gwen is still friendly, willing to talk if need be.
