Super Name: Spider-Woman
Real Name: Martha (Mattie) Franklin

Background:
When Jeremy Franklin declined an invitation from former business associate Norman Osborn to participate in the arcane ritual called the Gathering of the Five, his precocious 15-year old daughter, Mattie, took his place. The mystical Gathering required five participants: three were granted power, knowledge or immortality, while two were cursed with insanity or death. Mattie received the gift most coveted by Osborn, power, while Osborn was driven more deeply insane. During a time when Peter Parker (alias Spider-Man) had resigned from superheroics, Mattie disguised herself as her role model, Spider-Man, in a padded costume. After she was injured fighting the fiery Shadrac, recipient of a living death from the Gathering, Spider-Man came out of retirement to assist her. Mattie continued crime-fighting, now calling herself Spider-Woman. Charlotte Witter, granddaughter of Madame Web, was genetically manipulated by Doctor Octopus and sought to claim the Spider-Woman name, siphoning the powers from former Spider-Women Jessica Drew and Julia Carpenter before confronting Mattie. Despite Spider-Man's interference, Witter absorbed Mattie's powers. Guided by Madame Web, Drew, Carpenter, and Mattie located Charlotte. By force of will, Mattie reabsorbed her powers, as well as the other powers Charlotte owned or stole.

Moving in with the Jamesons, Mattie stayed in New York to pursue her role as the sole Spider-Woman. Aided by Madame Web and Drew, she had several adventures battling the grotesque Flesh and Bones sisters, their parents Miss Itch and Mr. Scratch, the ancient Egyptian magician Shadow Caster, the Cluster (aliens in Death Valley testing if Earth was conquerable), the psionic exomorphic projections of Brian Leighton [Exo-morph] (creating a Rhino/Dr. Octopus/ Venom amalgam), and a cloistered werewolf-nun. With each adventure, Spider-Woman experimented with her costume's appearance. The Jamesons sent her to attend a private high school where she encountered vicious bullies and befriended meek Cheryl Lansing. Gradually, Spider-Woman's borrowed powers returned to their owners, reawakening Witter. After another defeat by Spider-Woman (with help from Spider-Man), Witter was once again rendered unconscious, allowing Mattie's continued retention of her powers.

Mattie's father died, leaving her an orphan since her mother had died of an illness when Mattie was very young. The Jamesons accepted the role of Maddie's foster parents, with J. Jonah Jameson honored and humbled by the opportunity. She was later seduced into a dark world of drugs by boyfriend Dennis "Denny" Haynes, who used Matte's own flesh to produce the drug called Mutant Growth Hormone, temporarily granting the user superhuman powers. With Madame Web's aid, she was rescued by Jessica Drew and Jessica Jones, and her abilities revealed to Jonah. Mattie has been in counseling, and has not pursued super-heroic activities since this tragedy.


Powers
Mattie has many different powers that she gained at the gathering. Mattie is super strong, able to lift objects almost as heavy as Spider-Man can. She can sprout giant spider legs out of her back so that she can scale walls. Mattie can also fly, but uses it seldom. Mattie has mind powers as well, able to read people's minds and disrupt their minds also.

Super Name: Spider-Woman
Real Name: Jessica Miriam Drew
Aliases: Agent Drew, Arachne, Dark Angel of San Francisco
* Eyes: Green
* Hair: Auburn
* Defining Features: Though Jessica's natural hair color is auburn, she prefers to keep it dyed jet-black. The black hair was originally a wig she used to hide her identity as Spider-Woman, but, now it is her natural hair.
* Citizenship: British, American
* Born in: England
* Marital Status: Single
* Occupations: Adventurer, Private Investigator, Espionage Agent, Secretary, Teacher
* Known Relatives: Jonathan Drew (father, deceased), Miriam Drew (mother, deceased)

Powers and Abilities:
As a result of a combination of a special serum derived from spider blood and a certain radiation treatment, Jessica possesses a number of superhuman powers. She has superhuman strength, that enables her to lift 7 tons, speed, reflexes, agility, endurance and durability. She can focus the bioelectric energy that her body generates into "venom blasts" sufficient to stun or kill normal humans, and she can also adhere to almost any surface by excreting an unknown adhesive substance from her palms and soles. Jessica rapidly forms an immunity to all poisons and drugs and is totally immune to radiation. Her body also exudes a high concentration of pheromones which elicit pleasure in most human males while eliciting fear in most females, though she often uses a chemical "perfume" that can nullify this effect. She has also demonstrated superhuman senses in her solo series. Jessica has lost and regained her powers more than once, but she has recently emerged with her powers restored greater than ever. She was once only capable of gliding with the help of the glider web extensions on her costume, but Jessica now possesses the power of full flight. Her top speed is as of yet unknown.

In addition to her powers, Jessica is also a superb hand to hand fighter and has trained in several styles of combat, including boxing, judo, karate, and capoeira, which she learned under the training of the Taskmaster. She has also had training in fencing and the use of many other weapons, including most firearms. Jessica was trained by HYDRA and later on by SHIELD in covert operations, stealth, espionage, and information gathering, and she is also a superb athlete. She speaks several foreign languages, including Korean, Russian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and German. Jessica also received vocational training in undercover detective work and sometimes carried a Walther PPK handgun.

Origin:
Jessica Miriam Drew’s parents were Jonathan and Miriam Drew, two scientists whose work was dedicated to trying to harness the environmental adaptive abilities of spiders by grafting elements of their DNA into the human genome. Prior to Jessica’s birth, the pair moved to Wundagore Mountain to conduct their research with funding from HYDRA under the auspices of General Wyndham.

While still an unborn child, Jessica gained superpowers when her mother's womb was hit by a laser beam containing the DNA traits of several different species of spiders.

Jessica’s parents disappeared from her life under mysterious circumstances and she was subsequently raised on Mount Wundagore by a woman named Bova. Later, she was recruited into HYDRA under false pretenses and trained and mentored by Taskmaster to become an assassin in their employ.
