[edit] Araña?

Shouldn't Araña ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arana ) be linked to this page as well? I'd do it but I'm still new to this Wikipedia posting thing. Kevingarcia 22:22, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

I agree. I have put her in the See also section with Spider-Girl and Madame Web. Aastrup 20:59, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Powers and abilities

"However, Spider-Woman I can not shoot adhesive organic webbing as Spider-Man does." Er, I don't think Spider-Man does this without technology. ie. It's not biological for him. He does this with devices he invented. But I'm not 100% sure so I'm not changing anything.

You're right. Webbing is not a part of Spider Man's powers. I'm removing that line. Mumblingmynah 01:59, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
You're wrong. In the movies, and in the comics since last year, it is.
Oh, and the Mattie and Charlotte powers were NOT switched. - SoM 20:25, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
The superhero box for Charlotte Witter says, "Later absorbed the cumulative powers of the first two Spider-Women," but her character biography reads, "She managed to steal the powers of Jessica Drew, Julia Carpenter, Mattie Franklin, and Madame Web." It's a little confusing. --Mumblingmynah 21:45, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
In the comics, unlike the movies, Spider-Man does not have organice webbing...he uses techonlogy, so the first two posts of this talk are correct!

[edit] Tigra

Hey, I removed the Tigra cover. It wasnt really related and it messed up the sections. Sorry.--DrBat 22:35, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Jessica Drew copyright violation

DrBat's edit replaced text in the Jessica Drew section with text copied from http://www.spiderfan.org/characters/jessica_drew.html , which he infact has acknowledged, which i will revert. Could the user explain why this was done, when the original para was perfectly alright? pamri 16:37, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)

There's not enough detail. I dont see how it was a copy vio since credit was given. Especially since Spiderfan.org itself states "This page is Un-Official. It is not associated with Marvel. It uses content copyright by Marvel, Without Permission. This material is used for the purposes of informed discussion, and is not intended to interfere with Marvel's right to use said material for their own commercial goals." --DrBat 03:31, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Wholesale copying of text cannot qualify as Fair use, even if you give credit. See Fair use#Common misunderstandings. I suggest you read Wikipedia:Copyrights#Contributors.27_rights_and_obligations and Wikipedia:Contributing_FAQ#Copyrights. If you want to add more detail, nothing prevents you to use the fanpage as a reference. pamri 04:27, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Spider Women

Does anyone else think each of the Spider Women need their own pages? The current one just looks... Well... A mess... And with Jessica Drew's new series coming soon, and her involvement with the New Avengers, her section's going to be growing...

I agree. The different Spider-Women should have their own individual pages. Just as with the different Human Torches. There's too much here, and it looks a mess!

Okay then... I've never 'unmerged' a page before (Please no one beat me to it!) I'll give it a try in the morning. Personally, I think it's the only way to begin cleaning the page up. If anyone disagrees, I'll not do it, but it's just so much info. And how about a disambiguation page for Spider-Woman, which then links to pages Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew), Spider-Woman... etc..? - Avengers fan

I just gave the other Spider-Women their own articles. Jessica Drew gets the main one. --DrBat 01:41, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
And you made a hash of it. You didn't fix the links, you didn't reformat the stuff to allow for them being in seperate pages, and if you're going to dab, do it properly.
I've fixed all but the links, which are partially done but the server's too slow right now to finish it.
And Avengers_fan - new sections to the bottom of talk pages. - SoM 22:43, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
Sorry.
In cases where multiple superheroes have the same name, their articles just have their name. For example, the various Green Lanterns and Robins; the Hal Jordan article is Hal Jordan, not Green Lantern (Hal Jordan). And the Tim Drake article is Tim Drake, not Robin (Tim Drake). Should we do the same for the Spider-Women articles? And should the main article have a minor summary of the characters, like the main articles of Robin and Green Lantern do? --DrBat 12:06, 26 September 2005 (UTC)


[edit] spider powers

there needs to be a whole section for super heroes/villians with spider powers

[edit] Ultimate Spider-Woman

There are pictures of an Ultimate Spider-Woman appearing soon, so shouldn't a section be added on that?

Removed the Ultimate Spider-Woman information from this article as it was premature and speculative to add it, no citations of the name in the comic nor in promotional material. Even Spiderfan.org didn't call her Spider-Woman. See the discussion at Talk:Ultimate Spider-Man --NewtΨΦ 20:29, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
I added a link back, without other info. We have a source for her name now. -HKMarks 22:46, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
We now have her name, secret identity, and origin. I thinkt hat deserves an article. Or, at least, as with what I've done, a section all to herself.SaliereTheFish 13:00, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree. In fact, if anyone thinks its a bad idea, please change this. I'm going to add a little section.Derek Chase 20:58, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
