SPIDER-WOMAN MARVEL LEGENDS SERIES 15

Jessica Drew, Spider-Woman, is a superheroine, a fictional character in the Marvel Comics universe. The character first appeared in Marvel Spotlight #32 (February 1977). While briefly popular in the 1970s, she was depowered and fell into disuse for years, supplanted by other Spider-Women, but has recently been revived as a member of the Avengers by Brian Michael Bendis.

At a young age, Jessica Miriam Drew, daughter of Jonathan and Miriam, was lethally poisoned by radiation. In an attempt to save her life, her father injected her with an experimental serum based on irradiated spiders' blood. Because the serum did not have any apparent effect on her, the man who would come to be known as the High Evolutionary placed her in a genetic accelerator. While in the accelerator, she aged at a decelerated rate. When she was finally released, decades later, Drew was only seventeen years old.
