History ComicBook / SpiderGwen

Making her debut in ''Edge of Spider-Verse'' #2, a tie-in to the 2014-2015 ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse'' event, [[SmurfetteBreakout Spider-Gwen struck a tremendous note with fans]], prompting Creator/{{Marvel|Comics}} to announce her own ongoing book just weeks after the one-off issue was published. Written by Jason Latour, illustrated by Robbi Rodriguez, and colored by Rico Renzi (the same creative team behind ''Edge'' #2), ''Spider-Gwen'' made its official debut in February 2015, following the publication of two other ongoing titles headlined by Spider-Women[[note]]Jessica Drew's ''[[ComicBook/SpiderWoman2014 Spider-Woman]]'' and Cindy Moon's ''ComicBook/{{Silk}}''[[/note]].

* ''Edge of ComicBook/SpiderVerse'' #2 (2014)

* LoveConfession: In ''Giant-Sized Spider-Gwen'', [[spoiler:Em Jay finally tells Gwen that she loves her... just before she joins Natasha's superhero crew to learn how to control the Carnage symbiote. Despite Em Jay promising to talk things through with Gwen the next time they meet, the Mary Janes were all that tying Gwen to Earth-65, setting up Gwen permanently relocating to Earth-616]].

* WallPinOfLove: In ''Giant-Size Spider-Gwen'', Gwen demands for Carnage to tell her why Em Jay is so cantankerous towards her. In response, Carnage pins her against the wall of an apartment and licks her cheek, asking if she ''really'' wants to know the answer. It's interrupted by Mortis snarkily saying she's enjoying the view and asking if they're friends, enemies, or something in-between and more complicated.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Rhino flirts with her while trying to kill her father in ''Edge'' #2. She does not return the feelings.

* AdaptationalSexuality: [[spoiler:Mary Jane Watson]] is bisexual and in a relationship with Glory Grant, who is a lesbian.

** The first arc of ''Ghost Spider'' has Gwen stuck on Earth-3109, where she and Harry Osborn were a superhero duo (the Green Goblin and Spider-Man, respectively), with Peter and Mary Jane as their mission control. Harry died during a fight against Sandman, in which Gwen had also accidentally killed her father; the stressful combination of both events plus a suit malfunction caused that world's Gwen to go mad.
* AlternateUniverse: Earth-65 is naturally this to the main Earth-616 Marvel universe. Of the ''many'' changes, a few of them include Matt Murdock never becoming Daredevil and instead working as a lawyer for ComicBook/TheKingpin; Ben Grimm becoming an [=NYPD=] officer instead of a pilot, with his beat just happening to be his home neighborhood of Yancy Street; Frank Castle is still working for the NYPD, with his family leaving him due to divorce rather than their deaths; [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Steve Rogers]], ComicBook/BuckyBarnes, and Isaiah Bradley were injured before any of them could become Captain America, leaving a young woman named [[ComicBook/TheFalcon Samantha Wilson]] to take on the identity; Peggy Carter has control of SHIELD [[InSpiteOfANail and the Eyepatch]]; the Avengers team was never formed; and, of course, Captain Stacy is still alive (not for the lack of villains trying, of course). There are also a number of small but significant differences in society and culture -- during one team-up, ComicBook/MilesMorales notes with surprise that all the soda in Earth-65 uses real sugar, and the concept of ''artificial'' sugar genuinely confuses Gwen.

* ForWantOfANail: In Gwen's home universe, one of the key differences was that ''she'' was the one bitten by the spider. Peter Parker, inspired by Spider-Woman, became the Lizard in an attempt to feel special himself. Peter's death at the hands of Gwen led to Harry Osborn feeling guilt for not being able to prevent it, spending the next few years working to become the Green Goblin to get revenge.

** The Earth 617 version of Gwen describes herself as her world’s [[Franchise/{{Batman}} greatest detective.]]”

** In the first issue [[Comicbook/FantasticFour Ben Grimm]] takes on the Yancy Street Gang. Also, after his run in with The Vulture, he ends up in a rock hard full body cast mirroring his 616 counterpart.

** [[Comicbook/FantasticFour Johnny and Susan Storm]] are kid actors in a sitcom that got renewed for a fourth season. One of the characters is a robot similar to H.E.R.B.I.E., the robot that replaced the Human Torch during ''WesternAnimation/TheFantasticFour1978''.
