While there are some unique variations they mostlt stick to this formula.
With Gwen you get none of this. Spectacular Gwen was Debrah Whitman, Emma Stone Gwen was blonde science MJ, Ultimate Gwen was a hardcore punk who threatened to stab a fucker and Spider-Gwen...let’s face it, she’s basically an OC. She has nothing in common with Gwen outside of being a blonde with a police chief dad who knew Peter Parker. Hell, even something as small as her economic background was changed - despite her dad having the same job Spider-Gwen is more or less stated to be middle class rather than the high society rich girl 616 Gwen was. Even character details like height, hair and body structure were altered by Latour to make her look more like a cousin than a dimensional variant of Gwen.
