Gwen Stacy (Spider-Gwen)

In the alternate reality designated Earth-65, Midtown High School's Gwen Stacy is the drummer for a band called the Mary Janes, consisting of herself and her friends Mary Jane Watson, Betty Brant, and Glory Grant, who compete with Felicia Hardy and her band "Black Cats". Bitten by a radioactive spider, Gwen becomes the heroine Spider-Woman. Shortly after, her classmate and best friend Peter Parker attempts to become a superhero, inventing a serum that transforms him into the Earth-65 version of the Lizard. Unaware of the reptilian figure's true identity, Gwen fights Peter, eventually inflicting mortal wounds on him. Peter reverts to human form and dies in her arms; in his final words, he says he wanted to be like her. Spider-Woman is devastated by Peter's death and inspired to use her power to protect others as a way to atone for accidentally killing him. She is publicly blamed for Parker's death by J. Jonah Jameson. Her father, NYPD Chief of Police George Stacy, hunts Spider-Woman, aided by Captain Frank Castle and Detective Jean DeWolff. During a confrontation with her father, Gwen reveals her true identity to him. Shocked, he tells her to run. In the "Spider-Verse" storyline, Gwen of Earth-65 is one of many other Spider-Totems across the multiverse recruited to fight the vampiric Morlun and the Inheritors.[26] Although she is one of several people called Spider-Women who appear, she appears to be the only Spider who is also Gwen Stacy, leading to the nickname "Spider-Gwen". Gwen realizes that most of her counterparts in other universes are dead, including Earth-616 Gwen Stacy, who was Peter Parker's first love, leader of the group fighting the Inheritors. Telling Peter that she also failed to save her version of him, they both agree to look out for each other.[27] Although Gwen deals with criminals and enemies in the police department, she also makes allies, such as Cindy Moon;
