NARRATOR: You don't Ghost Spider, the Gwen Stacy of Earth
65 who became a Spider Gwen?
Well, get ready to rock.
We all know Peter Parker of Earth 616
was bitten by a radioactive spider
and became Spider-Man, who fell for Gwen
Stacy who also fell for him.
What?
Too soon?
But across the multiverse on Earth 65,
Gwen Stacy was just an average teenager.
She spent her time drumming in a rock band
called The Mary Janes, got a couple of BFFs
named Peter Parker and Harry Osborn,
and was being raised by her stern but loving widowed dad
Captain Stacy, who was head of the NYPD
until she was bitten by a radioactive spider
and gained a bevy of superpowers.
And after a quick wrestle with Shulky,
she became Spider Gwen except that wasn't a great superhero
name because everyone would know her secret identity if she
used it, so folks in her universe
called her Spider Woman, OK?
OK.
Anyway, her bestie, Peter Parker,
was inspired by this mysterious new hero.
Tired of being bullied and wanting to be a hero, too,
Peter experimented on himself but was transformed
into a giant lizard.
Gwen tried to save Peter, but he ended up dying in her arms.
Sound familiar?
Spider Woman was accused of his murder.
See, this is why she can't be called Spider Gwen.
And her own father unknowingly vowed to bring her to justice.
Finally, he cornered Spider Woman at gunpoint,
and Gwen had no choice but to reveal her identity.
Captain Stacy, believing his daughter, dropped the case,
but others continued to pursue her,
which is always a perfect time to swing across the multiverse.
Gwen was pulled into the Spider-verse
where she met Miles Morales the Spidey of Earth 1610--
and he was cute--
and Peter Parker, who kept looking at her
like she was a ghost.
Admittedly, he looked like a ghost to her, too.
Plus she got to form the ultimate girl group
with the other Spider Women.
Wait, two Spider Womans?
Looks like Gwen's gonna need a new name.
Maybe Ghost Spider.
Nah, too on the nose.
Together, the Spideys conquered the Inheritors,
the multiversal monsters, and Gwen
went back to her own universe to deal with her drama.
Gwen tried to balance normal life with hero
wanted by the law life with a little help from her new pal
Silk and a very pregnant Spider Woman,
and she even made time for a visit from Miles.
But the police, including a punishment happy Lieutenant
Frank Castle plus a horde of sinister villains like Vulture,
Black Cat, Green Goblin, and the Kingpin, who happened
to be Matt Murdock no matter what the shirt says,
were not making it easy.
Gwen's continued pursuits ended up
landing her dad in jail and herself
in a lot of hot water including a deal with the devil
and a very humid symbiote suit.
Eventually she decided to stop running from the law
and served a year of jail time.
Finally, a free woman, she jumped around the multiverse
with Miles and teamed up with the Webbed Warriors,
this time for a Spider-geddon.
Turns out she liked Earth 616 and decided
to stick around in attend Spidey's alma mater
Empire State University.
And with that she definitely needed a new name.
You can't have too Spider Womans in the same universe.
Ghost Spider it is.
Now in the main Marvel universe, she
swings into action and teams up with Spideys
and other young heroes as she tries
to find balance with herodom, school,
friendships, and rocking out.
And now you do know Ghost Spider.
