But who exactly is Julia Carpenter?
In the Marvel universe, Julia Carpenter became Spider-Woman unknowingly, as she was subjected to experiments under the guise of an “athletic study.” Injected with a combination of spider venom and exotic plant extracts, she acquired powers similar to Spider-Man himself.
She has played a significant role in various comic storylines, including participating in the first Secret Wars event and temporarily becoming an Avenger.
Additionally, Carpenter has a shared history with the Kravinoff family, having been a target of their sacrificial attempt to revive Kraven the Hunter. This traumatic experience ultimately led her to take up the mantle of Madame Web, as the original Madame Web had succumbed to a mortal wound inflicted by the Kravinoffs. As the new Madame Web, she gained telepathic, precognitive, and astral projection abilities, albeit at the cost of her vision.
