What is Spider-Woman's Secret Identity? (possible spoilers)

**megabyte01** · 11-10-2006, 11:37 AM

Man, waiting for the next part of clone saga is driving my nuts! I decided to do a poll in the meantime to encourage the regular readers to vote on the following question: what is Spider-Woman's real identiy? these were the choices i came up with.

A female clone of Peter: Bendis has said in interviews (that i don't know the links to) that he wanted to do something interesting with cloning. one of the facts he cited was that it is easier to make female clones.

Mary Jane Watson: What if there is more than one MJ? One could be the clone and one could be Spider-Woman. It would make for an interesting delemma for poor Peter, trying to choose between Spider-woman MJ and Goblin MJ.

Peter's long lost mother: I know this one is a long shot, but consider that she could have obtained a sample of the suit and faked her own death. i don't hold much for this scenario, but it's possible.

someone else entirely: Maybe this Spider-Woman doesn't really have anything to do with Peter's life. Maybe Ultimate Jessica Drew (that's 616 spider-woman isn't it) was taken in and exposed to the same process that made peter spider-man. Sometimes these comic writers hint that they are going in one direction, then they pull a 180 just to mess with us.

By the way, I don't think that the Spider-Woman will be Kitty. If Kitty will return to Peter's life, she will do it as Kittty. There are just too many complicated questions if she somehow becomes spider-woman. Still, if you think Spider-Woman is kKtty, then vote option 4

My decision (SW a femme Peter clone) is solely based on the fact that on the cover for #104, she's seen along with Pete's other clones.

I think it'd be awesome if she stayed on the series as part of Pete's supporting cast. She'd be like, the Ultimate version of 616's Ben Reily.

Well, I'd LIKE it if she's his mother but she looks way too young and slim fit for that. No offense. I still voted for mommie dear.

Well she could be a clone of Pete's mom. Just younger. Maybe.

I voted for the female clone.
a) in 98, her first appearance, she sounded exactly like Peter ( her dialogue was close to how he talks ) and she also knew MJ's full name, and her significance to Peter. She also knew how Peter was feeling emotionally ( "You're completly off your game, anyhow") At the end she said: "I'll get them for you Peter, WE didn't deserve this." ( indicating to me that there are more of her, aka clones )
b) her appearance on the cover of 103 with the other clones.
c)her powers: in the preview of 102, she blatantly shows super-strength and super agility, which Kitty does not posess( eliminating her. ) And on the cover of 104, she is shown standing on the side of the building with Peter, displaying her "sticking" power. So she has Peter's exact powers.
All of this points to the female clone, it was if she knew Peter better he himself did. The only person who has shown that is MJ ( like she did in 97 ) but an MJ clone seems kind of ridiculous. ( Though if it was the real MJ, and the MJ-Goblin is a clone, I'd be relieved! Though Spider-woman herself denied being MJ, so unlikely.)

I'm with the group that thinks she's a Spidey clone.

What if Peter is a male clone of Spider Woman?

Sure. It's an awesome arc. But you probably won't have any idea of whats going on uless you read the back issues.

Yeah there has been so much stuff happening that it would be impossible to know what was going on.

Back on topic, I think that SpiderWoman is the Ultimate Version of Ben Reilly. I'm curious to know how she got the "Suit" though.

Ben Reilly already appeared in USM during the Caranage Arc. He was Conner’s lab assistant. I do like the idea of this female becoming U Scarlet Spider but it will be more likely that she is U Spider-Woman.

I like the female clone of Peter idea. It's obvious and makes perfect sense. It seems it would be easy for a scientist to duplicate the X chromosome, remember X-23, and make a female version of Peter. They already have all the others, so why not make a girl? She obviously had some modifications to her DNA since she can shoot webs from her fingers. Plus, the storyline is called the Clone Saga.
