If you watched Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, you saw Gwen Stacy, aka Ghost Spider, aka Spider-Gwen. The character’s design was striking, with electric pops of purple and neon blue on an expanse of black, white, and grey. It was a look that both stood out and made sense within the Spider-Verse’s wildly imaginative, multiverse-hopping setting.

Gwen Stacy is the alternate-universe version of Peter Parker bitten by a radioactive spider who goes on to become a superhero instead of her famous love interest, Spider-Man. Throughout the Spider-Verse series, she has clashed with her universe’s versions of Matt Murdock and Frank Castle, as well as the mercenary who became the Rhino, Aleksei Sytsevich. Gwen also has a close friendship with Miles Morales, another hero from a different universe.

Despite her many enemies and battles, Gwen remains a kind and loving person who teaches Miles how to adapt to his own newfound powers. She’s even willing to share her own knowledge of being a superhero and help him defeat the villains from her universe.
