Who is Jonathan Drew?

Jonathan Drew was a scientist who worked alongside the High Evolutionary and later became entangled with the clandestine organization Hydra through Project Athena — serving as the father of Jessica Drew, who would go on to become Spider-Woman.

Few characters can claim a debut as storied as Jonathan Drew's — stepping onto the page in Spider-Woman #1 in 1978, conjured by the formidable Bronze Age pairing of Marv Wolfman and Carmine Infantino. A Marvel figure who has kept remarkable company over the decades — sharing adventures with the likes of Jessica Drew, the High Evolutionary, and Spider-Man himself — Jonathan is woven into one of Marvel's most intriguing corners of mythology. His appearances span an impressive arc from 1978 all the way to 2024, touching titles from Spider-Woman to Spider-Woman: Origin and even the beloved British publication Super Spider-Man TV Comic, a reminder of how far Marvel's reach extended across the Atlantic. With Avengers affiliation to his name and nearly five decades of comics history behind him, Jonathan Drew is the kind of supporting pillar that rewards the curious collector willing to dig a little deeper.
