Gwendolyne Maxine "Gwen" Stacy is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, usually as a supporting character of Spider-Man (Peter Parker). A college student and the daughter of George and Helen Stacy, Gwen was one of Peter's early romantic interests, the first following his high school graduation. In the story "The Night Gwen Stacy Died" (1973), the character is murdered by the Green Goblin (Norman Osborn). The story had a major impact on the series and on the audience for super hero comic books. Stories published long afterwards indicate Peter's unresolved grief with regards to her death. The story of her life and death is revisited in Marvels (1994) and Spider-Man: Blue; a flashback solo miniseries, Gwen Stacy: Beyond Amazing (2020–2024), was written by Christos Gage.

A posthumous clone of the character was first introduced in the 1970s and reappeared in the 1980s and 1990s. This plotline was later expanded, and has resulted in multiple alternate versions of the character. An A.I. of Harry Osborn created the Kindreds; Peter's clone Ben Reilly briefly resurrects Gwen in "Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy" (2016–2017). In The All-New, All-Deadly Gwenpool (2025), she is again resurrected with Weapon X-like abilities under the designation X-31. In the alternate universes of Ultimate Marvel, Spider-Gwen, and Ultimate Spider-Man, a still-living Gwen becomes their respective realities' versions of Carnage, Spider-Woman, and Mysterio.

The character was portrayed by Bryce Dallas Howard in Spider-Man 3 (2007) and by Emma Stone in The Amazing Spider-Man film series (2012–2014) and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023; archive footage). A multiverse Spider-Gwen is voiced by Hailee Steinfeld in the animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) and its sequels Across the Spider-Verse (2023), Beyond the Spider-Verse (2027), and Spider-Woman (TBA).

Publication history

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding missing information. (July 2013)

1960s

[edit]

Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, Gwen Stacy first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #31 (December 1965) as the primary love interest of Peter Parker.[1] Beginning with issue #39, John Romita Sr. became the primary artist and co-plotter of the series, replacing Ditko.[2] Romita's background was in romance comics, and he was partly chosen to depict the young female characters as "very sexy and flashy," in his words; he drew inspiration from magazines such as Seventine.[3]

According to Lee, the original intent was for Gwen Stacy to be Spider-Man's central love interest. However, Mary Jane Watson, first depicted in The Amazing Spider-Man #42 (November 1966), became increasingly popular with readers as an alternative girlfriend. This popularity changed the course of the plan, as fans demanded she be Peter Parker's main love interest instead, and that "no matter how we [i.e. Lee and his artist/co-plotter collaborators] wrote it, Mary Jane always seemed more interesting!"[4][5] As Lee said, "Gwen was a sweet girl, everything about her was pure and wholesome and loyal and wonderful. I thought she'd be the perfect wife for Peter. On the other hand Mary Jane was a real party girl."[2] Romita said that

When I started drawing Gwen, I thought of her as an intelligent, responsible, level-headed and well-behaved young lady, kind of the opposite of Mary Jane. Stan started using Mary Jane to make Gwen jealous of Peter. In other words, Gwen never would have noticed Peter if Mary Jane hadn't started throwing herself at him. Stan decided to fool the readers and make Gwen the girlfriend. I kept trying to make Gwen look more glamorous.[6]

Amazing Spider-Man #56 (January 1968) introduced Gwen's father, NYPD Captain George Stacy; later issues portray her mother Helen Stacy and her uncle Arthur Stacy. Her father is both fond of Peter and supportive of his alter-ego Spider-Man.

1970s

[edit]

In issue #90 (1970), George Stacy is killed by falling debris during a battle involving Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus.[7][8] Gwen blamed Spider-Man for his death, and left for Europe to cope with her loss. She wanted Peter to ask her to marry him and convince her to stay, but his guilt stopped him from proposing.[9] Gwen's feelings for Peter eventually prompted her to return to New York, and their relationship is rekindled.[10]

Gerry Conway and Roy Thomas succeeded Stan Lee as writer and editor, respectively, of The Amazing Spider-Man. Together with inker John Romita, Sr., they came to the decision to have Gwen Stacy killed.[11] It was Romita who first suggested the idea, during a plotting session with Conway when Romita was still penciller on The Amazing Spider-Man.[12] Romita said that Thomas and Conway wanted to shock the readers with an unexpected death, initially considering Aunt May, which Romita rejected. Romita recalled the death of a love interest in the comic strip Terry and the Pirates which had significant cultural impact, and decided that "we would really shake up the fans if we killed Peter's girlfriend."[13]

Conway later said his contribution to the decision was motivated by a desire to bring Mary Jane Watson to the forefront,[12][14] as he shared Lee's feeling that she was a more interesting character than Gwen Stacy: "[Mary Jane] hadn't lost the edge that made her an interesting character. Gwen didn't have an edge. She was just a nice person".[15] In the story arc "The Night Gwen Stacy Died" written by Gerry Conway, published in The Amazing Spider-Man #121–122 (June–July 1973), Gwen is killed off, murdered by the Green Goblin Norman Osborn.

Both the decision to kill Gwen and the method in which Marvel implemented it remain controversial among fans and some writers. Conway claims that Stan Lee endorsed the decision, but Lee contended that he was sorry that she had been killed off and that he "would have enjoyed keeping both Gwen and MJ and letting them play off against each other."[16] In 2004, Romita recalled:

the fans were outraged. They threatened me and Gary and Stan. Here it is almost forty years later, and the fans are still talking about the death of Gwen Stacy –– so I guess we made the right choice.[13]

In the story, Norman Osborn, the Green Goblin, has become aware of Spider-Man secret identity as Peter Parker, and seeks revenge because he blames Peter for a recent drug overdose experienced by his son, Harry Osborn. The Green Goblin kidnaps Peter's girlfriend, Gwen. Although he is ill, Spider-Man searches for Gwen and eventually discovers her, unconscious on top of a bridge.

During the course of his battle with Spider-Man, the Goblin slams into Gwen and sends her hurtling toward the water. Desperate to save her, Spider-Man uses his webbing to stop her fall, but a fatal 'SNAP' is seen in the panel where it snags her. Did Spider-Man accidentally kill his girlfriend? Was she killed by the fall or was she already dead before Spider-Man even arrived on the scene? These are questions that have always haunted Spider-Man fans and are still debated today.[17]

The death became a pivotal point in both Spider-Man's history and in American comic books in general. Many point to Gwen's death as the end of the Silver Age of Comics.[18] Before her death, except possibly as part of an origin story, superheroes did not fail so catastrophically, nor did the hero's loved ones die so suddenly and without warning.[19][20][21] Conway said that he added the "SNAP" sound effect subconsciously without realizing its implications, but became fascinated by the effects of Spider-Man's complicity in Gwen's death on the possibilities of comic books.[22]

A note on the letters page of The Amazing Spider-Man #125 states: "It saddens us to say that the whiplash effect she underwent when Spidey's webbing stopped her so suddenly was, in fact, what killed her".[23] The comic book Civil War: Casualties of War: Captain America/Iron Man (2007) concurred that the proximate cause of death was the sudden stop during a high-speed fall. An issue of Peter Parker/Spider-Man revisits the issue, and further confirms Gwen died of a broken neck due to the use of the webbing.[24] On the other hand, in the 1987 edition of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, Gwen's death is attributed to the fall, not to Spider-Man's webbing, though the listed cause of death is still technically true – if she hadn't fallen from the bridge, the event that caused her death couldn't have happened. In his book The Physics of Superheroes, physicist James Kakalios confirms that, consistent with Newton's laws of motion, the sudden stop would have killed Gwen Stacy.[25]

The then-Mexican publisher of Marvel Comics, La Prensa, did not think the Latin American readership would accept Gwen's death, and so diverged El Sorprendente Hombre-Araña into its own continuity with brand new stories (written by Raul Martinez and drawn by José Luis González Durán) in which Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy were still a couple, and Stacy was still alive, for another 60 issues and 45 stories, ending in 1974 when another publisher picked up the Marvel rights.[26][27]

Stan Lee (who had since become Marvel's publisher) was frequently criticized by fans during his public appearances for killing off Gwen Stacy.[14] Lee, who had also found the character's death objectionable,[11] insisted that Conway write a story bringing her back.[14] While Conway objected, he eventually gave in under the condition that after reviving Gwen, he could write her out of the book as soon as he wanted.[15] He decided that cloning would be the best means to bring the character back. In the resulting story, published in Amazing Spider-Man #144 (May 1975),[28] "Gwen" reappears, perfectly healthy but with no memory of the time since her death. At the end of the story, Gwen's clone, a creation of Spider-Man villain the Jackal, leaves to find a new life for herself, accepting that she is not really the same person who had a relationship with Peter Parker.[29]

1980s

[edit]

In the 1988 crossover "The Evolutionary War", the High Evolutionary, who had once been Miles Warren's teacher, captures Gwen's clone. He determines that Warren had actually not perfected the process, and instead injected a young woman with a genetic virus carrying Gwen's DNA, turning her into a copy of Gwen. After a subsequent altercation of Spider-Man and the Young Gods against the High Evolutionary's Purifiers, this woman is purged of the virus by the Young Goddess Daydreamer.[30] This is later retconned, with the High Evolutionary stating that Warren had in fact succeeded in perfecting his own cloning technique, and Daydreamer had accidentally given the Gwen clone a false new life under the name of Joyce Delaney.[31]

1990s

[edit]

The death of Gwen Stacy is retold from another perspective in the fourth and final issue of the miniseries Marvels (April 1994), by Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross. In the story, photographer Phil Sheldon befriends Gwen Stacy, who has absolved Spider-Man of any blame for her father's death. Gwen's simple faith in heroes convinces Sheldon of the purpose of superheroes—to protect innocents such as Gwen. He resolves to write a book to praise the heroes and what they should mean to humanity. When the Green Goblin kidnaps Gwen and holds her hostage to bait Spider-Man, Sheldon frantically follows the resulting chase in a taxi and witnesses her death. While it is reported that she died from the shock of the fall, Sheldon thinks it looks like something else, and Sheldon's faith in superheroes is shattered.[32] Gerry Conway credits the story with revealing and exploring the cultural significance of Gwen Stacy's death.[22]

In the second "Clone Saga" that began in 1994, Gwen's clone, Joyce, reappears. Now married to a clone of Professor Warren named Warren Miles, sees a copy of Peter Parker's book of Spider-Man photos, and remembers (to an extent) her real history. She returns to New York City, but after helping Spider-Man and Scarlet Spider fight the Jackal, she again disappears from Spider-Man's life.[33] She makes herself a new life in London. Another Gwen clone, who believes she is the original Gwen, appears in The Amazing Spider-Man #399 (March 1995). She dies from clone degeneration in Spider-Man #56 (March 1995), the next issue of the story arc.

2000s

[edit]

The story of Gwen Stacy was revisited in Spider-Man: Blue, by Jeph Loeb (2002-2003).[34]

Beginning in 2000, Brian Michael Bendis wrote an alternate continuity for Spider-Man, updated for contemporary culture.[35] An alternate version of Gwen Stacy appeared as a recurring character in Ultimate Spider-Man. She first appears in the Ultimate Marvel universe in Ultimate Spider-Man #15 (January 2002) as a teenage girl at Peter's high school. In this continuity, Gwen, whose rendition by artist Mark Bagley was inspired by an early-career Madonna, wears punk-style clothing, and harbors a rebellious personality.[36] This version of Gwen dies in Ultimate Spider-Man #62 (July 2004), killed by Carnage. However, the Ultimate version of Gwen Stacy returns to life in Ultimate Spider-Man #98 (October 2006). According to Mark Bagley, "Gwen's return is integral to the Clone storyline and is basically a way to rock Peter's world...again".[dead link][37] Gwen briefly transforms into a new version of Carnage, but she is restored to normal.

From 2004 to 2005, The story arc "Sins Past"[38] by J. Michael Straczynski apparently reveals that Gwen Stacy had an affair with Norman Osborn and fell pregnant with twins, a girl and a boy, to whom she gave birth while in France, and named Sarah and Gabriel Stacy, respectively. In this retcon, Gwen vowed to raise the twins with Peter Parker and refused to allow Norman access––an event which precipitated Norman's decision to kill her. By the time that Peter and his (then-considered-to-be) wife, Mary Jane Watson-Parker, discovered the twins' existence, they were grown to adult proportions, despite the relatively "short" time since Gwen's death, due to the genetic effects of their father's "goblin formula". Sarah and Gabriel revealed their existence to Peter after their father was publicly exposed as the Green Goblin, sending to Peter a page of an unsent letter from Gwen which revealed her pregnancy. When Peter as Spider-Man went to a genetics lab, where he intended to test Gwen's maternity of the twins, Sarah confronted him, and Spider-Man unmasked Sarah[39]—finding her to be "a dead ringer for Gwen".[40] Gwen Stacy herself, however, only appears in this story arc in flashback, as Mary Jane explained to Peter that she knew about Gwen's illegitimate offspring and Norman's paternity thereof because she overheard Gwen and Norman arguing over custody of the children,[41] Sarah later signed up with Interpol, while Gabriel later become the Gray Goblin.[42]

Marvel would later again retcon and erase this revelation in the pages of Nick Spencer's run on Amazing Spider-Man, during the Sinister War event. Norman Osborn arrives at the safe house of Gabriel and Sarah in Paris, where an Artificial Intelligence back-up copy of his son Harry reveals to Norman that he never truly fathered the twins, and that he never had a sexual encounter with Gwen Stacy. The whole plan was to convince him he had the heirs he always wanted, so AI Harry hypnotized Norman and Mary Jane Watson with the help of Mysterio and the Chameleon, while Mendel Stromm created the mutated twins in a lab (this explains their rapid aging, as it is not truly related to Osborn's Goblin serum). Thus, this is all an elaborate scheme of Harry's to torment both his father and Peter.[43]

2010s

[edit]

The alternative version of Gwen Stacy remained a recurring character throughout the Ultimate Spider-Man series, even following the death of Peter Parker in that continuity and the introduction of Miles Morales as the new Spider-Man, in Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man.[44][45] The character disappeared with the end of the Ultimate universe in 2015.

In 2013, a new Gwen clone appears in the "Sibling Rivalry" crossover storyline between Superior Spider-Man Team-Up and Scarlet Spider. She joins the Jackal (alongside Carrion and a regular Miles Warren clone) in capturing Superior Spider-Man and Kaine.[46] She is sympathetic towards "Peter" and Kaine, but at the same time utterly loyal to the Jackal. When the Spiders break free, Superior Spider-Man disarms and attempts to kill her, but is stopped by Kaine. When the Jackal's lab is engulfed in flames, Kaine offers to save her, but she refuses, and is seemingly consumed by the fire.[47]

In 2015, Dan Slott and Jason Latour introduced a new version of Gwen Stacy, in which she would take on the role of Spider-Woman. The concept of an alternate-universe, spider-powered Gwen Stacy was first conceptualized by longtime Spider-Man writer Dan Slott for the "Spider-Verse" story arc.[48][49] Slott had suggested "Gwen Stacy as a Spider-Woman" to Spider-Man editor Nick Lowe, who then approached Jason Latour to write a series based on that character. Latour was concerned about restoring Gwen Stacy to life in even an alternate-universe form, given the canonical consequences of her death more than 40 years earlier, but eventually conceded,[49][50] and approached Robbi Rodriguez to design the character.[50][51] Latour prompted Rodriguez to keep her mysterious and to avoid anything that would prematurely reveal her identity, saying that she "should feel like anyone could be under that mask."[50][52] Slott previously had envisioned a costume based on her clothing in the two-part death story, "The Night Gwen Stacy Died" (1973), except red and blue with web patterns and a half mask. She would also have had a trench coat that would have been red with webs.[48] Slott ultimately approved of Rodriquez' design.[48][53] The character debuted in Edge of Spider-Verse #2 on September 17, 2014[53][54] and is commonly referred to as Spider-Gwen.[55][52]

Latour's inspiration for creating the character came when he realized that he was not familiar with Gwen Stacy outside of being a "fridged" character who was killed for the sake of the hero as a plot progression.[49] Latour also felt he grew up in times when white males were dominant in superhero comics, and saw Gwen Stacy as a potential hero to represent women in a better way, "The fact that it's a woman does change the meaning and subtext of everything that's going on. As a creator, that's really enjoyable and it opens up the story to go in a lot of directions it wouldn't have gone before."[49]

The 2016–2017 crossover event "Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy" written by Dan Slott and Christos Gage features Gwen Stacy reanimated by Ben Reilly before seemingly dying again. In the "Clone Conspiracy" storyline,[56] a flashback revealed that Gwen Stacy was conscious during Spider-Man and Green Goblin's battle on the bridge, and as she was falling to her death. She overheard their conversation and discovered Peter is Spider-Man in the process. She was angry at Peter for keeping this secret and for his involvement in her father's death. This flashback confirms the Green Goblin's real motivations for the murder: he clearly states that Gwen "is just a pawn", contradicting the whole core of Sins Past in which Osborn wanted to kill her to keep the twins with him and silence her forever. The "Stacy-Osborn" affair was retconned during the Sinister War event, 17 years later.[57]

In the present, Gwen (her soul intact) is revived by Ben Reilly (as the Jackal II) in a clone body. Ben offers Gwen the opportunity to be his business partner as he tries to change the world with his new technology. Gwen is hesitant about this new life at first but accepts it when Ben shows that he has reanimated her father, who is in much better health than he was before he died.[57] When Spider-Man arrives at the incorporation and discovers Ben's experiments, he is surprised by Gwen's presence and notes that unlike the other people Ben revived, Gwen does not trigger his spider sense, making him wonder if she was the real one. He is attacked by the "reborn" Doctor Octopus before he can question the issue further.[57]

After Ben breaks up the fight and shows Spider-Man around the New U, George Stacy recognizes something off about Gwen's face and points his gun at her. It is revealed that this Gwen was actually her Earth-65 counterpart Spider-Woman who assists Spider-Man in escaping. The real Gwen is kidnapped by Kaine and taken to Parker Industries to be studied. Kaine reveals that he and Spider-Woman came to this Earth to assist Spider-Man because they saw that Spider-Man agreeing with Ben's offer on other worlds always results in a global disaster.[58] Rhino and the second Electro are sent to retrieve Gwen after attacking the staff, but Gwen tells them to take Kaine with him too because his condition could help Ben's experiments. Anna Maria Marconi also volunteers to come with because she has studied both Kaine and the drug.[59]

When Spider-Man is taken to Haven, he catches up with Gwen in the household in the facility, where she tries to convince him to support New U Technologies. Peter still has a hard time believing she is the real Gwen given his other experiences with clones. Gwen tries justifying her existence by telling Peter her memories, including how she overheard the Green Goblin talking to Spider-Man before her death. Peter thinks she died hating him, but Gwen said that she did not hate him, but rather died feeling betrayed. Peter again still has doubts towards Gwen not being a clone. She tries kissing him, to no avail which only pushes him to put the mask back on. Gwen witnesses Ben order his cloned villains to kill Spider-Man and decides to help Peter.[60]

Doctor Octopus pulls a switch that activates the Carrion Virus in all of the revived, including Gwen and George, and causes them to start rapidly decaying.[61] After Gwen's father deteriorates in her arms, she assists Spider-Man by helping him get to the lab. When the cloned villains get to the lab doors, Gwen locks Spider-Man inside the lab and sacrifices herself via an explosion to give him more time. Following the Carrion Virus being thwarted, Spider-Man and Anna check the building and see that Gwen has been reduced to dust.[62] In the sequel ongoing series Ben Reilly: The Scarlet Spider, the embodiment of Death herself confirms that all clones Ben created of deceased people had their souls intact on being brought back, while clones of living people (like Ben himself) had unique souls of their own, making Gwen's revival by him a legitimate resurrection.

2020s

[edit]

During the "Last Remains" storyline (2020), Kindred visits the cemetery where Gwen Stacy and George Stacy were buried. He exhumed their bodies and placed them around the table at his hideout while awaiting for Spider-Man to find him.[63] When Spider-Man finally confronts Kindred, Gwen and George's corpses were sat around a dinner table alongside the exhumed bodies of Ben Parker, Flash Thompson, J. Jonah Jameson Sr., Jean DeWolff, and Marla Jameson.[64]

A flashback solo miniseries following the character, Gwen Stacy, written by Gage and illustrated by Todd Nauck, was published in 2020,[65][66][67][68][69][70] concluded with Giant-Size Gwen Stacy in 2022,[71][72][73][74] and collected as Gwen Stacy: Beyond Amazing in 2024.[75]

In the A.X.E.: Judgment Day crossover event (2022), the Celestial known as the Progenitor is resurrected and gives humanity 24 hours to justify their existence and judges each human individually. The Progenitor appears to Peter in the form of Gwen, who watches him as he spends the day helping his friends and loved ones. The Progenitor deems Peter worthy and rewards him by briefly resurrecting the real Gwen to give them one last moment together. Norman Osborn witnesses their reunion, but brushes it aside as it is revealed the Progenitor also appeared to him as Gwen.[76]

Gwen Stacy made her next return to Marvel Comics in the Gwenpool series beginning May 2025 (collected as The All-New, All-Deadly Gwenpool in January 2026). When Gwen is resurrected by Weapon X as the hyper-violent assassin Weapon X-31 by "The Great Architect", she saves Peter Parker and isekai protagonist Gwen Poole from three escaped Deathloks working for the Great Architect.[77][78][79][80] After confronting Peter over her prior death and accidentally killing Poole,[81] Poole's ghost possesses her roommate Kate Bishop, their son Jeff the Land Shark, and Peter in an attempt to avenge her own death, while Gwen apologizes to Peter and Kate for accidentally killing Poole.[80] After being threatened with the nano-charges installed in her head by the Great Architect, Gwen remembers that he wasn't the one to put them in place, remembering Ben Reilly (the Jackal II) to have done so. After talking with Poole's ghost, X-31 learns that she is the same Gwen Stacy reanimated by Reilly in Dead No More (the one with her soul placed in a clone body by New U Technologies). After her severed head survived the explosion she set off, the Great Architect had a new immortal body grown from the neck of her head ("the sample"), equipped with adamantium metal bones below her flesh, to serve as a joint antagonist to Gwen Poole and Peter Parker. Gwen, Peter, Kate, and Poole's ghost proceed to team up to defeat the Great Architect, with Poole possesses her own corpse (made a Deathlok cyborg) to return to life and convince Gwen not to kill the Great Architect but rather arrest him. In the aftermath, Gwen asks out Peter again (who rejects her, Gwen passing off her question as having been a joke), before Gwen proceeds to join the group in fighting Fin Fang Foom as X-31 while intending to work on a new and worthy codename.[82] She first appears as Weapon X-31 in The All-New, All-Deadly Gwenpool #1 (May 2025) by Cavan Scott and Stefano Nesi, facing off against Gwen Poole, Kate Bishop, and Peter before teaming up with them against her boss "The Great Architect", who grew a new immortal body for her reanimated head, recovered after the events of "Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy".[83]

Fictional character biography

[edit]

In her initial appearances, Peter Parker met Gwen while both are studying as undergraduates at Empire State University,[84] but with Aunt May in the hospital, Peter was troubled and ignores her advances. She dated both Flash Thompson and Harry Osborn to make Peter jealous. Gradually, however, a romance develops; Gwen, a science major, appreciated Peter's intellect. Gwen is gifted at biochemistry and is shown to have good investigative skills which she inherited from her father. Their relationship began almost immediately after Peter stops going out with Mary Jane Watson, whom he begins to see as shallow and self-absorbed.[volume & issue needed] Gwen's father, George Stacy, is killed during a battle with Doctor Octopus. Gwen blames Spider-Man for his death and briefly leaves the country out of grief.

In The Amazing Spider-Man #121 ("The Night Gwen Stacy Died", June 1973), the Green Goblin kidnaps Gwen Stacy and throws her off a bridge (depicted as the Brooklyn Bridge but described in the text as the George Washington Bridge).[23][85] Spider-Man shoots a web strand at Gwen's legs and catches her, but her neck is broken by the whiplash from her sudden stop.[23]

In Superior Spider-Man #3, Peter briefly reunites with Gwen and her father in the afterlife, along with all his other lost loved ones, while in Doctor Octopus's failing body. Peter apologizes to them both for failing them but neither hold Peter accountable with Gwen even saying that “it worked out” because they were “together” and kissed him on the cheek.

Within the Marvel Comics, Gwen Stacy's death has enormous repercussions. Mary Jane Watson feels the loss of Gwen deeply and becomes a more mature, compassionate person. Gwen's death also draws Peter and Mary Jane into a closer friendship, and eventually to romance.[volume & issue needed] Miles Warren, one of Gwen's professors, was secretly in love with her. Following her death, Warren goes insane and adopts the persona of the Jackal.[86]

Other versions

[edit]

Earth-617

[edit]

The Gwen Stacy of this reality had a similar history to the main iteration of the character, until she encountered a Gwen Stacy from a future alternate timeline. At first, thinking that this Gwen was a clone, she later learned that this Gwen was actually a superhero, but when trying to get more information, Spider-Gwen fled in a rage. She learned that Spider-Gwen's father had been put in a coma, which caused her rage, then Gwen helped her counterpart to come to epiphany that she should treasure that she still has her father alive in contrast to her, whose father had died. After that, Gwen with the help of Tony Stark and Hank Pym of this reality, successfully send Spider-Gwen to her timeline. After this encounter, Gwen was inspired to become a detective and bonded to the Venom symbiote of her reality to become Spider-Woman. With the use of a Dimensional Travel Watch, she was able to travel across the multiverse and encountered other versions of herself; some of which who had also become Spider-Woman. With these Spider-Women, they formed the Council of Spider-Women and they avoided the Spider-Verse event. She then came across the Spider-Gwen from the past and sent her to her past timeline, creating a time-loop. She then terrorized the Uatus from Earth-65 and Earth-8, since they were fighting the children of Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy. After that, she returned to her reality to fight crime.[87]

El Sorprendente Hombre-Araña

[edit]

From 1973 to 1974, a divergent continuity in El Sorprendente Hombre-Araña was published by La Prensa in Mexico, in which the events of "The Night Gwen Stacy Died" never took place, with Gwen Stacy never having died and her and Peter Parker having remained a couple.[26][27]

"Heroes Reborn"

[edit]

In the Heroes Reborn event, a change in the timeline results in a continuity in which the Squadron Supreme are Earth's mightiest heroes while the Avengers never came to be. In this reality, Gwen was inspired by her mother to become a psychiatrist at Ravencroft Asylum. After the death of the Falcon (which mirrors how Gwen died in the main continuity), she was trained by Nighthawk and became the vigilante known as Nightbird. She briefly dated Flash Thompson for a time, but her refusal to be with him drove him to be insane and become the second Jackal. She also appears to have a close relationship with Misty Knight.[88]

"House of M"

[edit] Main article: House of M

In the reality seen in the "House of M" storyline, in which the Scarlet Witch alters reality to make mutants the ruling class over humans, Gwen was never killed. Instead, she married Peter Parker, and the couple had a young son. She had become a scientist, a savvy businesswoman, and a peace activist – and had a decidedly hostile relationship with chemical weapon developer Norman Osborn. Mary Jane Watson, a popular actress in this reality, played Gwen Stacy in the film adaptation of Spider-Man's life story. Gwen and her father read textual accounts of their deaths in the main universe, though they believe this simply to be the morbid imaginings of Peter Parker, who is suffering from mental health issues.[89]

Marvel Adventures

[edit]

Gwen Stacy first appeared in Marvel Adventures Spider-Man #53 as a new student of Midtown High. She had transferred from her previous school after the Torino Gang, a powerful New York mob, began harassing her in an attempt to keep her father, police captain George Stacy, from arresting members of their gang. However, the Torinos continued to harass Gwen at Midtown, prompting Spider-Man to help the police take down the gang.[90] Like her father, Gwen believes Spider-Man is a hero. She subsequently began participating in a "Spider-Man Appreciation Society" designed to foster better public opinion of Spider-Man.[91] Gwen is also attracted to Spider-Man's alter ego Peter Parker; although she openly flirted with him, Peter began dating a different girl, Sophia "Chat" Sanduval, which made Gwen very unhappy.[92] Later, Gwen was brainwashed by Emma Frost into believing she was dating Peter. Gwen's brainwashing wore off (or was undone by Emma), but Gwen now believes her relationship with Peter ended when he chose Chat over her,[93] causing her to treat Chat very coldly. She has since warmed to Chat, however.[94] Recently, Gwen began a close friendship with Carter Torino who is the grandson of the head of the Torino Gang.[91] Their relationship is complicated by the fact Gwen's father is still trying to take down Carter's criminal family.[95]

Marvel Zombies Return

[edit]

In the limited series, Marvel Zombies Return, Gwen of 'Earth Z' is still a college student out with her friends Mary Jane and Harry Osborn. The zombified Spider-Man travels to this earth and, despite his best intentions, turns the Sinister Six. They then slay and partly consume Gwen and her friends. To stop the spread of the virus, Spider-Man obliterates the bodies.[96]

Powerless

[edit]

In the Powerless mini-series, Gwen Stacy again appears as the girlfriend of Peter Parker. Norman Osborn again kidnaps and attempts to kill her as a part of a plan to intimidate Peter. In a twist, the powerless Peter (with a limb crippled from a spider bite) manages to save Gwen from falling to her death.[volume & issue needed]

Secret Wars

[edit]

In Secret Wars: Battleworld #3, a version of Gwen with the powers of Wolverine called Gwenverine, was brought along with the other Wolverines by Mojo, into fighting the pacifist Monk Wolverine.[97]

Spider-Geddon

[edit]

During the return of the Inheritors, Spider-Gwen's device to travel through the multiverse got destroyed by Verna and then Gwen got stranded in an alternate universe.[98] In this universe, Peter Parker and this universe's Gwen Stacy got jobs at Oscorp and Peter wanted to create a cure for cancer after his Uncle Ben died from it. Peter was experimenting with spider venom to create the cure, but one of the spiders bit Harry Osborn, making Harry this universe's Spider-Man. Harry, alongside Gwen Stacy as this universe's Green Goblin, also known as the Gwen Goblin, started to fight crime together, where they even took down Vulture. This lasted until a fight with the Sandman where both Harry and George Stacy were killed. The accident did something to the circuitry that enabled Gwen to control the Goblin Glider that left her mostly acting like the Green Goblin, with no memory of being Gwen Stacy. Spider-Gwen is eventually able to free her counterpart from her insanity. To thank her, the Goblin Gwen fixes Spider-Gwen's multiversal travel device to allow her to return to her allies.[99]

Spider-Gwen

[edit] Main article: Spider-Woman (Gwen Stacy)

In the alternate reality designated Earth-65, Gwen Stacy is the one bitten by the radioactive spider, and becomes a superhero going by the name of Spider-Woman. She is also a member of a band fronted by Mary Jane Watson, simply called the Mary Janes. Shortly after Gwen begins fighting crime, Peter Parker, her best friend attempts to exact revenge on those who bullied him, becoming this universe's version of the Lizard. Gwen subdues him, but Peter dies towards the end of the battle due to the chemical he used. Spider-Woman is blamed for his death, causing an outcry for her arrest, led by J. Jonah Jameson. Her father, who is also a police chief in this world, begins a hunt for her. This follows Gwen into college, where she is still a member of the Mary Janes. At a gig of theirs, an assassin is sent after Gwen's father, who is in the audience. Gwen defeats the assassin, the audience and band clearing out during the battle. While they are alone, Captain Stacy holds Spider-Woman at gun point, with Gwen taking off her mask to reveal who she is. Shocked upon learning Spider-Woman's identity, he tells her to run before he changes his mind. In the distance, the Captain Britain from Earth-833, called Spider-UK, is watching, saying that Gwen will "do quite nicely".[100]

Gwen is recruited by Spider-UK to team up with other Spider-Totems across the multiverse, and next appears on Earth-616 with Old Man Spider-Man of Earth-4 and Spider-Man of Earth-70105 (who in that reality is Bruce Banner) to rescue Kaine, who was under attack by the Inheritors.[101] Marvel-616 Peter is hesitant to put Gwen in action and she is told by the others of how he failed to save her in his world. However he does recruit her for a mission and they both agree to look out for each other.[102] Gwen is sent to recruit an alternate version of Peter Parker who is driven insane after he failed to save the Gwen Stacy in his dimension, killed the Green Goblin, and became the Hobgoblin. She tells him that he can become the man he once was if he joins them, but they are attacked by the Inheritors. Hobgoblin sacrifices himself to save Gwen.[103]

After the events of Spider-Verse, Gwen returns to her home of Earth-65 where she continues her career as Spider-Woman in her own solo series, Spider-Gwen. She first saves George Stacy from mercenary Aleksei Sytsevich who was sent by Wilson Fisk and his lawyer Matt Murdock to target him; Murdock is ultimately revealed to be the real Kingpin, with Fisk serving as his patsy.[104] Then she begins a hunt for the Vulture who has been terrorizing the city in her absence.[105]

She appears as one of the main characters in the Secret Wars Spider-Verse event with Spider-Ham, Spider-Girl, Spider-UK, Spider-Man Noir, and Spider-Man India in a Battleworld called Archania ruled by Norman Osborn. They eventually form a team called the Web Warriors where they help other Spider-Men and Women in various dimensions. A child version of her also appears in Giant Size Little Marvel Avengers vs X-Men as a new kid that Tony Stark tries to ask out on a date. She rejects him because he's a kid with a goatee and mustache. Another version of her is a member of Arcadia's's A-Force. On Earth-8, she is married to Miles Morales and they have two children with Spider Powers.[106]

Spider-Punk

[edit]

In Web Warriors, Spider-Punk mentions that the Gwen Stacy in his dimension was a musical icon, who ultimately died young.[107]

Spider-Man: Fairy Tales

[edit]

Issue #1 of Spider-Man: Fairy Tales follows the fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood, reimagined with Mary Jane Watson as the titular character. Gwen Stacy has been previously killed by the wolf. Issue #4 is an adaption of Cinderella with Gwen as Princess Gwendolyn. She falls in love with the masked "Prince of Arachne" who is revealed to be Peter Parker, servant to Sir Osborn, but is killed during a fight between Osborn and Parker.

Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane

[edit]

Gwen Stacy first appears at the end of Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane #5. She is the new girl at school and quickly becomes close friends with Peter Parker. In Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane #9, Peter and Gwen take their relationship to the next level by sharing a tender kiss, much to the dismay of Mary Jane. They date for a time, though Gwen breaks up with Peter when she learns Mary Jane is the girl he claims he truly loves. MJ, attempting to fix this, breaks up with Peter and reunites with Harry,[108] though eventually she and Peter realize that neither of them are as happy with Gwen and Harry as they were with each other, and break up with them to start dating each other again.

Spider-Man: Life Story

[edit]

Spider-Man: Life Story features an alternate continuity where the characters naturally age after Peter Parker becomes Spider-Man in 1962. In 1966, Gwen discovers that Peter is Spider-Man when she sees his costume underneath Peter's shirt at the train station shortly after Flash was deployed to Vietnam. She eventually marries Peter and becomes Chief Biologist for Miles Warren's bio-engineering company. In 1977, Harry Osborn's attack on Warren's company as the Black Goblin revealed that Miles created clones of Norman Osborn, Peter, and Gwen. Harry blows up the containment tubes containing the clones which kills all of them except for Peter's clone. However, Miles reveals that the "Gwen" Peter was with was actually her clone; he abducted the real Gwen with the intention of attempting to win her over later, with the result that the real Gwen died in the explosion. A year later, Peter and Gwen's clones rename themselves as Ben and Helen Parker and move out of New York for a second chance at life, the clone's relationship with the original Peter apparently not surviving the revelation of her clone status.[109]

She and Ben eventually split up and she renamed herself Helen Carroll. After years of therapy, she was inspired to become a prison therapist to help those whose lives were ruined by super heroes and worked closely with Norman Osborn and J. Jonah Jameson.[110]

Spider-Man Unlimited

[edit] Main article: Spider-Man Unlimited

In the fourth issue of the comic book based on the Spider-Man Unlimited animated series, Spidey encounters a Counter-Earth version of Gwen Stacy. She helps him escape a hidden paradise known as "The Haven".[111]

Ultimate Marvel

[edit] See also: Carnage (character) Main article: Ultimate Marvel

Gwen Stacy first appears in the Ultimate Marvel universe in Ultimate Spider-Man #15 (January 2002) as a teenage girl at Peter's high school. In this continuity, Gwen, whose rendition by artist Mark Bagley was inspired by an early-career Madonna,[112] has amber eyes, wears punk-style clothing, and harbors a rebellious personality.[113] In her first appearance, she gives a rousing speech on 'super powers' and later pulls a knife on Kong, one of Peter's bullies, and is suspended from school temporarily. Gwen becomes friends with Peter, which leads Mary Jane Watson to believe she is vying for his affections.[volume & issue needed]

Gwen is later taken in by Aunt May after her father, police captain John Stacy, is killed by a burglar wearing a Spider-Man costume and her estranged mother does not want to take her in. Her living in the Parker house creates more tension between Peter and Mary Jane, and leads to their temporary break-up. Peter's relationship with Gwen is further complicated by her hatred of Spider-Man, whom she blames for her father's death. When Peter finds his friend Eddie Brock, Gwen confides in him about her feelings of isolation. Eddie then tries to kiss her and Gwen is shocked.[volume & issue needed] When she eventually learns Peter is Spider-Man, the angry Gwen pulls her father's gun on him. He manages to convince her he is not to blame for her father's death. Gwen runs off but returns, explaining she is just really mad at everything at the moment. She wouldn't have really shot him, a fact Peter already knew because his spider sense didn't go off despite Gwen's wrath. Gwen then agrees to keep his secret.[volume & issue needed]

Gwen Stacy dies in Ultimate Spider-Man #62. Before her death, she made peace with Mary Jane and assured her she never had romantic feelings for Peter. She considered him just as a friend. She is killed by Carnage, a symbiote which was the offspring of the Venom symbiote, as he sucks the essence from her, draining her body to a husk. Although Peter is not in the area when she dies, he still feels some responsibility for her death, as he allowed Dr. Connors to use his genetic material for experimentation. His guilt makes him decide to retire as Spider-Man for a while. Eventually, he takes up his hero identity when his responsibility for the innocent becomes too great to overlook.[volume & issue needed] At the end of the arc, there was an issue that dealt with Gwen's death. Flash Thompson makes an off-color remark about Gwen's passing. It infuriates MJ to the point where she physically attacks Flash. It is revealed Flash had a crush on Gwen all along.[volume & issue needed]

Gwen Stacy returns to life in Ultimate Spider-Man #98. According to Mark Bagley, "Gwen's return is integral to the Clone storyline and is basically a way to rock Peter's world...again".[dead link][114] In this issue, Gwen appears to have no memory of her "death" and believes she was in a hospital, from which she has escaped. In issue #100, after a raft of revelations, the stress of the situation enrages "Gwen". She transforms into Carnage before leaping out the window.[volume & issue needed] In the next issue, "Richard Parker" claims Gwen should not have met Peter at all, and was merely an experiment in stem cell research. This Gwen/Carnage fights with the Fantastic Four, Nick Fury, and the Spider-Slayer drones, until she is knocked unconscious by a beam of light, and taken into custody. In issue #113, Norman Osborn as the Green Goblin causes a massive prison break from the Triskelion, with Gwen walking out amidst the chaos, disappearing in the shadows. It was then revealed that during government experiments to regrow the Carnage symbiote from its remains, Gwen's consciousness (still alive inside of Carnage) had assumed control over the symbiote to reconstitute her body, with no knowledge of her death.[dead link][115]

During the "War of the Symbiotes" storyline, Gwen/Carnage's back story in the Triskelion is revealed. It is shown Gwen has been taking some form of therapy with Tony Stark. However, when the Green Goblin broke out of the Triskelion, Gwen escaped and went to Peter Parker's house in a confused and terrified state, with Carnage's face on her body. During an exchange between Peter and Gwen, Eddie Brock attempts to attack Aunt May and retake his symbiote. In a rage, Spider-Man engages Venom on a nearby rooftop. During the fight, Gwen is shown to be able to use her symbiote to fight off Eddie but Eddie reabsorbs his symbiote along with the Carnage symbiote rendering Gwen Stacy an average girl. After a series of tests, it is concluded that Gwen is not a clone but consciously and genetically is the original reborn (though Gwen's original body died, the Carnage symbiote absorbed her being and they had bonded since her original death) with her eyes turned blue (originally, they were hazel). After S.H.I.E.L.D. intervenes, S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Danvers states Gwen will remain in S.H.I.E.L.D. custody. Peter and May argue for her to come back to live with them, with Tony Stark supporting the Parkers. In Ultimate Spider-Man #129, the Parkers are now helping to rebuild Gwen's life. Her ghastly experience with the Carnage symbiote also causes her to develop a death anxiety she gradually controls. Six months after the "Ultimatum" storyline, in Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1, Gwen is living with the Parkers again and is dating Peter after MJ broke up with him. However, circumstances involving the Chameleon made Gwen realize that Peter and MJ are still in love, and believes that they shouldn't be together, even if she wants to be with him. She breaks up with him, but vows to be his loyal friend. She also continues to live with the Parkers due to Gwen and Aunt May having become close in a surrogate mother-daughter fashion.

After Peter's death, Gwen and May re-locate to France but return to New York after hearing about the re-emergence of a new Spider-Man, Miles Morales.[116][117]

During the "Spider-Men" storyline, Gwen and Aunt May meet the Peter Parker of the Earth-616 continuity after he is accidentally and briefly sent to the Ultimate universe. They even attack him, as they believe he is trying to imposter their Peter.[118] It is only through his mannerisms similar to Peter and his choice of words that they believe that he is not an imposter. Gwen, being intrigued to learn about her counterpart (although she is not informed of her other self's death, nor does she inform him of her own previous death and resurrection), talks with him. Later, she also tries to tell Mary Jane about the other Peter's arrival in their world, as the two have formed a friendship.[119]

When Green Goblin escapes custody after S.H.I.E.L.D. was shut down, he arrives at the front yard of Aunt May's house and confronts Miles.[120] Gwen and Aunt May are inside watching the television where the battle of Miles and Green Goblin was being broadcast. Soon, Peter emerges to aid Miles in the fight, to the surprise of Gwen and Aunt May. Green Goblin flees at his arrival and the two Spider-Men depart. Gwen is unsure of the identity of the original Spider-Man, but Aunt May assures her that his motives show that it is him.[121] Later, Gwen and Aunt May walk over to Mary Jane's house and overhear Peter's explanation of his unknown resurrection. Gwen sprints over and joyfully reunites with him.[122] After the two Spider-Men defeat Green Goblin, Peter tells Gwen that he intends to go on a quest to find out the truth of his mystery resurrection and leaves her and Aunt May once more, promising to return.[123]

The Ultimate Universe is destroyed in the Secret Wars event, but the world is restored later on. In it, Peter returns to the role of Spider-Man and Gwen is possibly still living with Aunt May.

Early in the series, Ultimate Spider-Man #25 (October 2002) paid homage to Gwen Stacy's death in the Earth-616 continuity, although Gwen herself was not involved. The Green Goblin tossed Mary Jane off the Queensboro Bridge. Spider-Man caught her leg with his webbing, just as with Gwen. The issue ended with a cliffhanger: when Spider-Man pulled Mary Jane up, she appeared to be either unconscious or dead. The cliffhanger was resolved in the next issue when Mary Jane awoke in #26, uninjured.[volume & issue needed]

Ultimate Universe

[edit] Main article: Ultimate Spider-Man (2024)

An alternate universe variant of Gwen Stacy from Earth-6160 named Gwen Stacy-Osborn appears in the "Ultimate Universe" imprint. This version is the wife of Harry Osborn.[124] After Norman and Emily Osborn are killed in a false flag attack orchestrated by the Maker's Council, Gwen and Harry become the sole inheritors of Oscorp, with Gwen serving as the day-to-day CEO. Moreover, Gwen also became Mysterio after her predecessor and father George died under mysterious circumstances, a part of her life she kept secret from her husband (himself the superhero Green Goblin) until she had to save him from Kraven the Hunter, faking Harry's death before killing Kraven herself by shooting him.[125] The couple serve as pivotal allies over Spider-Man's fight against the Kingpin.

Weapon X-31

[edit]

On becoming Weapon X-31, she is given an accelerated healing process rendering her effectively immortal, referred to as her "healing factor", which regenerates damaged or destroyed tissues of her body far beyond that of normal humans, with adamantium fused onto her bones.

What If

[edit]

Gwen Stacy has been featured in numerous "What If" stories:

• In "What if Gwen Stacy had lived?", Peter saves Gwen by jumping after her rather than catching her with a web-line. In doing this, he cushions her from the impact as they hit the water and subsequently gives her CPR. After regaining consciousness, Gwen sees him without his mask. After explaining himself to her, Peter proposes to Gwen, and she accepts. Meanwhile, the Green Goblin mails to J. Jonah Jameson proof of Spider-Man's real identity. On the day of Peter's wedding to Gwen, Jonah has published the expose and uses it to acquire a warrant for Peter's arrest. Peter escapes from the police moments after his wedding to Gwen, but the issue ends with Peter on the run from the law and pondering his uncertain future. As the issue ends, Gwen departs with Robbie Robertson, who promises Gwen they will do whatever they can to help Peter and quits the Bugle.[126]
• In "What If Spider-Man Had Kept His Six Arms?", Spider-Man (whose six-arms mutation was permanent here) is able to prevent Gwen Stacy's death.[127]
• At the very end of Peter David's one-shot "What If: The Other", Peter Parker (now calling himself "Poison") uses part of the Venom symbiote attached to him to resurrect Gwen Stacy. She takes the appearance of Carnage.[128]
• In "What if Peter Parker became the Punisher?", Peter (who is the Punisher in this continuity) is able to save Gwen by killing the Green Goblin and webbing her body to a suspended scaffold on the bridge. Feeling guilty over almost getting her killed, he quits being the Punisher to be with her.[129] She later marries Peter and helps him get rid of the Venom symbiote before revealing she's pregnant.[130]
• In What If...Dark?: Spider-Gwen #1, Peter saves Gwen by jumping after her, but is killed when the Green Goblin cuts his web line and causes him to break his neck on a bridge pillar before his body cushions Gwen's fall. Upon discovering his secret, Gwen protects Peter's identity by discarding his costume and claiming Goblin took them both hostage at random. She subsequently dons Spider-Man's spare costume and vows revenge against the Goblin. She works together with Harry to trap the villain, but refuses to kill him as she realizes doing so would not be what Peter wanted. Harry does choose to kill him, but is horrified when he discovers the Goblin was his father. Blaming Gwen for Norman's death, Harry becomes the new Green Goblin while Gwen promises Peter she'll resolve her mistakes as the new Spider-Woman despite being powerless.[131]

In other media

Television

[edit]

• Gwen Stacy was deliberately excluded from Spider-Man: The Animated Series as the creators felt they could neither allow her to live nor include a character who was going to die, leading to Felicia Hardy filling her role as Peter Parker's first love interest prior to Mary Jane's introduction. Despite this, an alternate universe version of Stacy appears in the two-part series finale "Spider Wars", voiced by Mary Kay Bergman.[132] This version is the fiancée of an alternate universe version of Spider-Man who became a rich industrialist.
• Gwen Stacy appears in The Spectacular Spider-Man, voiced by Lacey Chabert.[132] This version is a teenager and friend of Peter Parker and Harry Osborn who has hidden romantic feelings for the former, expressing hurt whenever he expresses interest in other girls. Throughout the first season, she becomes concerned when Harry becomes addicted to the drug Gobulin Green and kisses Parker, leaving them in an awkward standing in the second season. Despite their feelings for each other, Parker begins dating Liz Allan while Stacy dates Harry. In the series finale, she and Parker acknowledge their feelings for each other and agree to break up with Harry and Allan. Following Norman Osborn's apparent death however, Stacy stays with Harry to care for him.
• Spider-Gwen appears in the Ultimate Spider-Man episode "Return to the Spider-Verse" Pt. 4, voiced by Dove Cameron.[133][134] After Miles Morales vanished from her universe, Gwen Stacy allied with her universe's May Parker to become Spider-Woman and reign in the chaos that befell her city using technology to mimic Morales' spider powers. Morales later returns with the "prime" version of Peter Parker and join forces with Gwen to defeat Wolf Spider. She is later chosen by Morales to replace him as a spider-hero as he and his family move to Parker's universe.
• Spider-Gwen appears in Spider-Man (2017), voiced by Laura Bailey.[135][134] This version is one of Peter Parker's classmates at Horizon High, as well as best friends with Anya Corazon, who specializes in DNA formulas after she was inspired by her uncle Raymond Warren to pursue science. Later in the series, she develops spider powers after being exposed to Warren's chemicals, with admirers referring to her as "Spider-Gwen" after adopting her comic book costume sans mask. Though she temporarily loses her powers, she later regains them, adding a mask to her costume.
• Spider-Gwen appears in Marvel Super Hero Adventures, voiced by Emily Tennant.[134]
• Ghost-Spider appears in the Marvel Rising franchise, voiced again by Dove Cameron.[132][134] While this version is primarily based on Stacy, she uses an alias that originated in the comics as a Ghost Rider variant of Spider-Man and has the partially dyed pink hair of Gwen Poole in her civilian identity. This redesign was cited by a Marvel Rising character designer, who mistook an image of Poole by Gurihiru for Gwen Stacy while using Google Images to reference the former character's physical appearance during the series' development. The "Ghost-Spider" alias was later integrated into Marvel Comics and related animated Spider-Man media to distinguish the character from other Spider-Women.[136]
  • Stacy first appears in the Initiation shorts, in which she goes on the run from the police after she is blamed for the death of her best friend Kevin (based on the Earth-65 Peter Parker). Eventually, S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Daisy Johnson finds similar reports of the suspect in question and gives the information to Ghost-Spider.

• In an interview with Screen Rant, Stone expressed interest in returning as a resurrected Stacy in a future The Amazing Spider-Man film, despite the character's death at the end of The Amazing Spider-Man 2.[140] However, by July 2014, development on the follow-up films Sinister Six, The Amazing Spider-Man 3, and The Amazing Spider-Man 4 had stalled.[141][142] The films would have seen Stone reprise her role, with the plot following Norman Osborn setting a resurrected amnesiac Stacy as Carnage against Parker, Harry, and the Sinister Six.[143][144][145] By early 2015, a deal to reboot the series within the Marvel Cinematic Universe was reached, cancelling The Amazing Spider-Man franchise.[146]
• In both films, Kari Coleman, Charlie DePew, Skyler Gisondo, and Jacob Rodier portray members of the Stacy family: Gwen's mother Helen Stacy and Gwen's younger brothers Philip, Howard, and Simon Stacy respectively.

Legacy

[edit] Main articles: Gwen Poole and The Unbelievable Gwenpool

Gwen Stacy was an American metalcore band from Indianapolis, Indiana, active between 2004 and 2010, whose name came from the comic book character Gwen Stacy. The band announced a reunion in April 2014.

Due to the popularity of Spider-Gwen, an alternate reality version of Gwen as Spider-Woman introduced in Edge of Spider-Verse in September 2014, in June 2015 Marvel published variant covers for 20 of their current series, which saw Gwen Stacy re-imagined as other Marvel characters, such as Doctor Strange, Groot and Wolverine.[164] One of those variants, for Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars #2, featured an amalgam of the design of Gwen Stacy and Wade Wilson dubbed "Gwenpool", which came to be especially popular with the fans.[165] As a result, Marvel produced two stories featuring Gwenpool as an original character, a backup story in the series Howard the Duck, and a one-shot, Gwenpool Holiday Special #1,[166] with Howard the Duck #1 establishing that her name is actually "Gwen Poole", not Gwen Stacy, or even an alternate version of either Gwen Stacy or Wade Wilson, presented as a fangirl from the real world who is transported to the Marvel Universe. Following the publication of the one-shot, an ongoing series titled The Unbelievable Gwenpool by the same creative team (Christopher Hastings and Gurihiru) was announced, starting in April 2016,[167][168] with a webtoon spin-off, It's Jeff!, premiering in September 2021.[169]

In June [1973], Marvel embarked on a story that would have far-reaching effects. The Amazing Spider-Man artist John Romita, Sr. suggested killing off Spider-Man's beloved Gwen Stacy in order to shake up the book's status quo.

The idea of beloved supporting characters meeting their deaths may be standard operating procedure now but in 1973 it was unprecedented...Gwen's death took villainy and victimhood to an entirely new level.
