Spider-Woman
Wall-crawling female hero
Spider-Woman is a Marvel Comics superheroine with spider-like powers including wall-crawling, superhuman strength, and venomous energy blasts.
Several characters have held the title, most notably Jessica Drew, who first appeared in 1977.
Unlike Spider-Man, her powers typically come from genetic experimentation rather than a spider bite: Jessica Drew was the original Spider-Woman.
