Jessica Drew

In Marvel's Ultimate Universe, Jessica Drew is a female clone of Peter Parker created through genetic experimentation, giving her abilities similar to Spider-Man's. She eventually adopts the identity of Spider-Woman while navigating her unique and complicated relationship to Peter Parker's legacy.

A fascinating corner of Marvel's Ultimate Universe, this Jessica Drew made her debut in Ultimate Spider-Man #98 in 2006, brought to life by the celebrated creative team of Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley. Her Modern Age origins place her squarely in the bold, reimagined world Marvel was building in the 2000s, and she moves through stories alongside some seriously iconic company — Peter Parker, Mary Jane Watson, Johnny Storm, and Spider-Woman herself. With appearances spread across the Ultimate Spider-Man family of titles, she's a compelling figure for readers who love the rich, character-driven storytelling that defined that era of Marvel's Ultimate line.
