"To Know Her is to Fear Her" - Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) Appreciation 2019

[Seren]

During Bendis Avengers I remember Wolverine stabbing her..I think it was sometime right before it was reveal Jess was actually Veranke? I don't remember the exact details.

But During the Hopeless run it was shown a couple times that Jess can heal pretty quickly... Not as quickly as others but faster than a normal human. Given her power set, it be weird if she didn't have one I think.

i think veranke ended up stabbing him?

yeah i remember she wsa up on her feet fighting right after giving birth
that was hardcore

[kcekada]

hey guys, the jess' marvel wiki says she has a healing factor, because wolverine stabbed her in the shoulder and she walked it off
does anyone know when this happened?

She used to be immune to radiation poisoning -- but lost that ability in Marvel Two-In-One. I don't recall any healing factor ever mentioned, but it does seem to recall that old immunity she had.

Jessica might still have that ability when she fully regained her powers back...

Do you remember when she lost that power? Does that include all her immunity to poisons once exposed once or just radiation poisoning?

It was in a Marvel Two-In-One story -- not her early appearances, but after she had her own series. By donating her blood, she saved someone who was dying of radiation poisoning at the hands of Atom Smasher II. But the doctor warned her that due to some temporary anomaly, the blood transfer would cause her to permanently lose the ability to be resistant to radiation poisoning. Had she not donated her blood, the anomaly would have corrected itself. I don't recall if it included other poisons, but I'm guessing it did. It was a weird story -- I think my Mark Gruenwald and Ralph Macchio -- because it was a significant change to occur in a team-up book -- and not in her own series. But her sacrifice saved a life, so she had no regrets.

As stated above, the ability could have been restored.

[Seren]

All her resistances were restored after Hydra/Skrulls restored her powers. As far as I know, they still work the same way. This was most recently shown during Spidergeddon when she didn't really need the rad suit to survive. We also learned that Jessica's DNA/blood is so radioactive that the Inheritors can't eat her.

Has Jessica led a group of private-eye style heroes? Maybe based out of San Francisco or Oakland?

That would be a pretty cool idea, and I could see that being parlayed into a confrontation (then team-up, hopefully) with Otto Octavius in whatever guise he takes after Superior Spider-Man ends.

Give me this team up. Please. Toss Matt Murdock in while you're at it (though that would never happen but one can dream).

Matt Murdock returning to San Francisco would be great, too. Come to think of it, maybe a "Lady Spy-Ders" --- to coin a turn of phrase from Anya back in Kelly Sue DeConnick's final arc of Avengers Assemble --- team-up would work out as well. I speak, of course, of Black Widow returning to San Francisco to join up with Jessica.

Marvel Two-in-One #85, perhaps?

[danielsan52]

Marvel Two-in-One #85, perhaps?

That is it. She gave up her radiation immunity to save Bill Foster. (who should never have been killed off in CW)

Would be nice to see Jess destroy the Thor Clone in revenge.

This would be NYC, but:

Colleen Wing, Shang-chi, The Immortal Iron Fist and "Mr Knight" (financial backer)

[Winterboy]

Awesome!!!!
