SPIDER-WOMAN
Jessica Drew, oryginalna Spider-Woman, to ikoniczna superbohaterka, detektyw i była agentka wywiadu z komiksów Marvela, stworzona przez Archie'ego Goodwina, Sala Buscemę, Jima Mooney'ego i Marie Severin. Zmutowana w dzieciństwie dzięki DNA pająka i eksperymentalnemu naświetlaniu, ewoluowała z umyślnie poddanej praniu mózgu operatorki Hydry w wysoko postawioną Avengerkę, agentkę S.W.O.R.D. i obrończynię multiversum.
Cronologia
Biografia
Jessica Drew to wszechstronna bohaterka Marvela, która pracowała jako detektyw prywatny, agentka S.H.I.E.L.D., operatorka S.W.O.R.D., łowczyni nagród, najemniczka i członkini Mścicieli. Genetycznie zmutowana w dzieciństwie dzięki DNA pająka i akceleratorowi genetycznemu, obudziła się jako dorosła kobieta z nadludzkimi zdolnościami i bez pamięci o swojej przeszłości.
Po uwolnieniu się od terrorystycznej grupy Hydra postanowiła wykorzystać swoje moce w walce o sprawiedliwość. W trakcie swojej kariery bohaterki Jessica pokonała poważne przeciwności, w tym okres, w którym straciła swoje moce, oraz późniejsze porwanie, podczas którego była trzymana w niewoli przez Skrullów, a ich królowa, Veranke, udawała ją na Ziemi podczas Tajnego Inwazji.
Po uwolnieniu Jessica odnowiła swoją pozycję w społeczności superbohaterów, dołączając do drużyny Mścicieli Steve'a Rogersa i polując na uciekłych obcych wraz z S.W.O.R.D. Później wzięła udział w konfliktach multiversalnych z Armią Pająków, prowadziła firmę detektywistyczną wraz z Benem Urichem i Rogerem Gockingiem oraz wychowywała swojego syna Gerry'ego, równoważąc to z życiem mścicielki.
Przeszłość
Urodzona w Londynie, Jessica Drew przeniosła się jako małe dziecko z rodzicami, Jonathanem i Miriam Drew, na Górę Wundagore w Transii. Jej ojciec, genetyk współpracujący z Herbertem Wyndhamem (Wysokim Ewolucjonistą), odkrył złoża uranu na ich terenie, aby sfinansować badania genetyczne. Jednak długotrwała ekspozycja na uran spowodowała, że młoda Jessica poważnie zachorowała na popromienne zatrucie.
Aby uratować jej życie, Jonathan Drew wstrzyknął Jessice eksperymentalny serum sporządzony z krwi pająka i umieścił ją w akceleratorze genetycznym zbudowanym przez Wyndhama. Przetrzymywana w stazie przez dziesięciolecia, Jessica starzała się w znacznie spowolnionym tempie. Gdy w końcu wyłoniła się jako dorosła kobieta, poczuła się odrzucona przez Nowych Ludzi z Wundagore i udała się do pobliskiej wioski.
Po przypadkowym zabiciu swojego chłopaka niekontrolowanym wybuchem bioelektrycznym, uciekła przed wściebą tłumem i wpadła w ręce Otto Vermisa, lidera Hydry. Poddana praniu mózgu przez Mentallo i przeszkolona w szpiegostwie i walce przez Taskmastera, została ukształtowana w śmiertelną zabójczynię, aż do momentu, gdy jej odmowa wykonania rozkazu zabicia dyrektora S.H.I.E.L.D., Nicka Fury'ego, doprowadziła do pokonania Vermisa i odzyskania przez nią niezależności.

Evoluzione
Spider-Woman has undergone several distinct eras of narrative reinvention since her debut in 1977. Initially conceived to secure Marvel's trademark over the name, Jessica Drew was introduced as a tragic figure burdened with lost memories, deadly bioelectric powers, and manipulation by Hydra. During her first ongoing series in the late 1970s and early 1980s, she evolved into the 'Dark Angel of San Francisco,' balancing her heroic career with work as a private investigator and bounty hunter. The 2000s marked a major renaissance for the character.
Re-established by writer Brian Michael Bendis, Jessica became a central protagonist in *New Avengers* and *Secret Invasion*, where her narrative was defined by the traumatic realization that Skrull Queen Veranke had stolen her identity. Overcoming this ordeal, she reclaimed her autonomy by working with S.W.O.R.D. and the main Avengers roster. In the 2010s and 2020s, her character grounded itself further by embracing street-level detective work, single motherhood, and key leadership roles across multiversal *Spider-Verse* crossovers and feature films.
Da Collezione
Spider-Woman represents a staple character for Marvel collectors. Key comic book issues—including her debut in *Marvel Spotlight #32* (1977), her primary ongoing series *Spider-Woman Vol.
1*, and major crossover appearances like *Secret Invasion*—remain prized items among comic enthusiasts. Her breakout animated and cinematic adaptations, notably her high-profile appearance in 2023's *Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse*, have further solidified her status as an enduring pop-culture icon across print and screen.
