Spider-Woman Appreciation 2021

[Huntsman Spider]

I thought Casandra Webb was dead and that was why Julia is now Madame Webb?

That's true. I was just thinking, if Rebecca had to go by a superhero name, she could try Arachne, since Julia isn't using that name at the moment.

As for karma, I get why they did it but it makes no sense in universe.Did they cut her leg off to put the bionic one in place?

She pretty much hatched out of the egg with a bionic leg...I think it was implied that Proteus altered reality to remove her biological leg and put her bionic one back.

Wow, that's very fast for the MU sliding timescale

It does actually match other books though. Remember, Miles Morales timeskipped several months last year, bypassing most of Rio's pregnancy. Also, there was a few months when nothing was published because of COVID. Ms. Marvel (which has also had a pregnancy storyline involving Kamala's sister-in-law) and Fantastic Four (When Reed and Sue returned, they said a year had passed for Ben and Johnny) have both also clearly had a year pass in the last couple of years. There was also a timeskip in X-Men just before the Krakoa status quo started, and that same gap is necessary between Jim Zub and Eve Ewing's Champions runs too as the Kamala's Law legislation can't have been enacted (and later repealed) overnight. Gerry should've had a birthday by now - maybe even two.

Oh okay, I agree.I guess it feels like that because all those are timeskips whereas this hasn't had any mentioned, has it?

[Chris0013]

Ah yes, another young genius as well.So original, she does seem like a good character so that's good.

So we had Mattie, Anya, Gwen, Cindy, and now Rebecca and Madame Web, Julia, Jessica all Spider-girls/women in 616.Add Mayday and Annie and we are in double digits.Bruh.I think we have more Spider-girls than Batgirls now.
Spider-fam was absurd as is, a Spider-girl fam is just....

Atleast Jessica isn't the one being ignored, she's one of the best ones.

But why does Rebecca need to be spider-themed? She has no powers. She is using an exoskeleton...why not give her another theme for her 'hero identity'? Just because she is related to Jess she needs to be a spider?

[Seren]

Rebecca could always be like Natasha. Spider-Name but not really a Spider per-se.

Also, thank you Digifiend for the confirmation of time passing the MU. I wasn't sure how that was working out since Gerry now seems older than both Shogo and Danielle Cage but felt like he definitely should at least be 3 by now (and Dani should be what..liek 4 or 5? Shogo i also think is a bit older than Gerry??)

[Chris0013]

Why does Ray have his hand? He got that thing chopped off....

[Seren]

I thought it was his left hand?

[Chris0013]

right hand...

I mean, given that her family basically has a spider theme between her dad, her aunt and her cousin, it makes sense that she goes with a spider theme. Besides, spiders seems to be the theme going on for her life since she met Jessica so might as well keep to it.

Very well put.

[Chris0013]

Very well put.

It just makes it seem somewhat generic...Jess is a Spider so her niece should be a Spider too.

On this day 42 years ago, the Spider-Woman cartoon made it's debut.

There needs to be a new cartoon. With a simplified origin. The 1979 cartoon origin is ironically preferable to me.

I would also like to see a new Spider-Woman animated series.
