About this Spider-Man

Jessica Drew was created by Archie Goodwin and Marie Severin in Marvel Spotlight #32 (1977). Her powers come from her father's spider-blood experiments, not a bite, and include superhuman strength, flight, a pheromone power and bioelectric venom blasts. She has been an Avenger, a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and a private investigator, She isn't a version of Spider-Man at all, but she is rated here because fans so often compare the two.
