[edit] Changes

Why are all changes on this page undone without explanation? I have remade the alterations, which make this article a lot cleaner and easier to read, and this has been reported.

[edit] Cartoon

There is a lot of information specicifically about the cartoon series in the 'Depictions in other media' section. I think that the episode guide in particular is too much information to be contained in Jessica Drew's character page. Does anyone else think it would be better with an article of its own?

[edit] Confused text

The recent addition has two serious problems. First, Hydra is not a Japanese organization (but the Hand is). I do not know which of the two is meant - probably Hydra. Second, her powers are not supposed to be magic; they were created by genetic and biological tampering by her father and the High Evolutionary. Luis Dantas 21:40, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Good point. The article now also impies that Conelley works for SHIELD; he's a HYDRA agent. And we need to figure out a way to differentiate between the "old" versions of SW's origin and the "new" version coming out in SW:Origin in the entry.--Galliaz 13:39, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

I would suggest inserting a single sentence paragraph in the "Character biography" section stating that her origin story is subject to retconning in the current Spider-Woman: Origin mini, wait till the mini finishes, then expand the paragraph to include the altered details. This should probably be tacked on at the end of the section, since we don't know how much territory the mini will retread. In addition to the Hydra vs. Hand problem mentioned, there are areas where general cleanup in needed; I'll try to attack this from time to time. Canonblack 19:57, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

This is a workable solution. It makes sense ot wait for the conclusion of the mini-series.--Galliaz 00:58, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

The animated Spiderwoman did have venom blasts. Most notably she used it to defeat Dracula by firing her blast at a windmill to simulate sunlight.Thundernine 10:44, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hangman

Uhm....Why does it link to the DC comic hangman in the part where it lists some of the villians she's fought?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.168.245.134 (talk • contribs) 23:47, November 28, 2006

Good eye. It's because there is an article for the DC one and not the Marvel one. I've fixed it by making it a redlink. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 08:44, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Origin miniseries

So, did it end already? From reading the current version of the article it looks like a reboot (or at least a strong retcon) instead of just a streamlined retelling. One wonders if Marvel realizes how deeply it contradicts established continuity. Luis Dantas 06:08, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Marvel Ultimate Alliance

Some of the information on Marvel Ultimate Alliance is wrong or poorly worded. There is no point where a player can actually ask Spider-Woman a question. Spider-Woman has a conversation with the Grey Gargoyle in Mandarin's Palace. He says "Ah, so this is the Amazing Spider-Woman", Spider-Woman corrects him and explains that her pheromones have that effect on people. Later on, one of the Trivia machines, the Strange Trivia machine in Dr Strange's house in particular, has the question "How did Spider-Woman get her powers from Spider-Man?" or something to that effect. There are three options that parody other super heroine origins, such as a blood transfusion, and the fourth one is "She didn't". The player doesn't pose these questions, they're either presented as part of a fixed conversation between characters or the player is asked in a trivia game. It would probably be better to say that at several points, the game asserts that Spider-Man and Spider-Woman are not related in any way. Also, the note that Spider-Woman has a conversation with Black Widow is like saying she's a playable character, every character has a conversation with Black Widow, Nick Fury, Hank Pym and the Vision in one of the hubs, except, I think, Moon Knight, Colossus, Silver Surfer, Nick Fury and the XBox Live downloads. More notable conversations that Spider-Woman has include the Grey Gargoyle, Jarvis and the Enchantress and the Executioner(a double boss meaning she speaks to both at the same time). She also has a conversation with Dr Doom where she says that if she had spidey senses, they'd be tingling right now. Even though these conversations are based on the assumption that she's Jessica Drew, they also work when she wears her Julia Carpenter and May Parker costumes.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Gspiderwoman.jpg

Image:Gspiderwoman.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

[edit] how do we deal with the fact

That from the first issue of New Avengers it's not been Spider-woman? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.112.16.178 (talk) 19:10, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes it has. Any appearance of it not being so is an error. Rau's Speak Page 02:10, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, you've lost me - error in what way? It's been explicitly stated in reliable sources (interviews with newsarama, Comicbook resources, wizard magazine) that it's never been spider-woman, it's always been the Skrull empresses. This article needs a bit shake-up anyway, it's way way too in-universe. --87.112.16.178 (talk) 09:02, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I thought you were talking about the hyphenation. Yea, anything that happened after she was replaced should be moved to the empress' article, just like Khn'nr. Rau's Speak Page 23:07, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
