Spider-Woman (Webisode Series) {Pilot Included}

[Hayden English]

Based on Spider-Gwen by Marvel Comics.

THE STORY

Three years ago, a group of sophomore science students from Midtown High School attended a tour of the labs at Oscorp Industries. While there, one of the students was bitten by a radioactive Spider and received Superhuman abilities. Sounds like the Spider-Man origin you've heard a million times, right? Wrong. The student in question was actually Gwendolyn Stacy [Emma Stone] not Peter Parker.

Welcome to Earth-6, very similar to the world of Marvel Heroes you're accustomed to, but also very different. There are no Avengers, the X-Men have disbanded and it's the time for New York City's newest Superhero to shine. One problem: she's wanted for a murder she didn't commit. With the help of the second Captain America, Samantha Wilson [Kat Graham], Gwen must clear her name whilst fending off new Supervillain: the Green Goblin.

But, the more she fights, the more she learns that everyone has secrets. Including her mother. This is a Spider-Story like you've never seen before.

The Characters

Major Characters

Gwen Stacy/Spider-Woman

Played by: Emma Stone.

All Gwen Stacy wanted in life was to graduate college and become a world famous drummer. That's not too much to ask. However, life has a way of messing with your plans. During a high school field trip, Gwen was bitten by a radioactive spider than granted her enhanced abilities. She can climb walls, do all kinds of crazy gymnastics, and has developed an awareness to oncoming danger that she and her friend Peter have dubbed her spider sense. That would all be perfectly fine if she wasn't a wanted criminal. Now, she patrols New York City fighting crime and looking for the real monster responsible. Which is hard enough without the million other things she has to do.
