gwen stacy
in the primary continuity of the comic books comprising the marvel universe, college-student gwen stacy was the girlfriend of peter parker, whom she was unaware was spider-man. this primary version of gwen stacy was killed in "the amazing spider-man" #121 (june 1973). 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. 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, and approached robbi rodriguez to design the character. 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." 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. slott ultimately approved of rodriquez' design. the character debuted in "edge of spider-verse" #2 on september 17, 2014 and is commonly referred to as spider-gwen.
