🕸️ Who Is Spider-Gwen? The Rise of Marvel’s Ghost-Spider

In the ever-expanding Spider-Verse, one hero has quickly risen from cult comic character to fan-favorite icon: Spider-Gwen, also known as Ghost-Spider. With her striking costume, emotional backstory, and fierce fighting style, she’s become one of the most exciting and stylish additions to the Spider-Man multiverse.

🧬 Gwen Stacy’s Origin — From Tragedy to Power

In most Spider-Man timelines, Gwen Stacy is known as Peter Parker’s love interest, a tragic figure whose death shaped Spider-Man’s future. But on Earth-65, the story is completely different.

Here, Gwen Stacy is the one bitten by the radioactive spider, not Peter. She becomes her universe’s web-slinging hero — a confident, acrobatic vigilante balancing teenage life with crime-fighting.

Her world takes a dark turn when Peter Parker, desperate to be special, becomes The Lizard and dies during a battle with Gwen. The world blames her, and Gwen becomes a fugitive — misunderstood, hunted, and driven by guilt.
