Marvel Comics has a very long tradition and during its decades of existence, they created hundreds of memorable stories, superheroes, and villains. One of the most popular Marvel superheroes is Spider-Man but he's not the only person with this set of powers, not by a long shot. There's also Spider-Woman.
Multiple women have held this name but Jessica Drew is the most famous of them all. It will hardly come as a surprise she teamed up with Spider-Man on more than one occasion but she has a lot of going on in her life. Many fans like the courageous Spider-Woman and created amazing fan arts of her.
10 Ready To Fight
Spider-Woman might not be the most famous spider-themed superhero among the general audience, but that never stopped her from kicking some serious villain butt.
This fan art by Adam Sean Arts has two parts and it asks the question many fans have no doubt wondered about: who would win, Spider-Gwen or Spider-Woman? Whatever the result would be, the fight would be epic and memorable no doubt.
9 Queen Of The Night
It's fan arts like these that make many people complain that artists and filmmakers tend to oversexualize female heroines. Just consider the overly tight suit Spider-Woman is wearing.
Nevertheless, the fan art Raffaele Marinetti is of high quality and deserves a spot on this list. It makes Spider-Woman look fierce and determined, like a real queen of the night of whom any criminal should beware.
8 Clinging To Walls
Long gone are the times when Spider-Man was the only person who was able to swing around New York, cling to walls, simply using all of these amazing spider powers that so many comic book fans would love to have for themselves as well.
Spider-Woman more than gives Spider-Man run for his money, at least where their superhero abilities are concerned, and this fan art by Raymund Lee proves it.
7 Striking A Pose
An important part of any superhero's life, at least the one who wants to make it into the big league, is to know how to strike a proper pose, and not just when fighting and intimidating people but also when relaxing.
Spider-Man is good at posing since he used to take pictures of himself and sold them to the Daily Bugle. However, Spider-Woman also seems to excel at striking a pose in this fan art by Dawn McTeigue.
6 A Darker Suit
Just like hitting the right pose, having the right costume/suit is also highly important for a superhero. It has to allow them to fight but should also look good — after all, comic books are a highly visual type of art — and help them build their own signature, and identity.
Spider-Woman usually wears a costume in lighter colors with the color red prevalent, but as this fan art by Fabiana Pereira shows she would rock a darker version of her costume as well.
5 And The Classic
Speaking of Spider-Woman's costume, maybe the fans reading this list prefer the original version. That's also okay; after all, everybody's different. Spider-Woman isn't the most cheerful of superheroes; she takes life in stride but also had some serious problems.
Her costume doesn't reflect that, however, and it works as a shiny beacon of hope for everybody saved by Spider-Woman. One thing's for certain, Fabiana Pereira made both versions of the costume look very lively and realistic, no matter the dominant color.
4 Protector Of The City
Jessica Drew clearly knows where she stands, and it's not on the side of evil. Again, she might not be as famous as Spider-Man but that doesn't make her any less formidable, and it also doesn't mean she should be underestimated.
Spider-Woman is very well able to protect those she cares about, whether it's the people around her, or the city she lives in, and in this fan art by Chris Huang-Jun, she looks like a true protector.
3 Three Faces Of Spider-Woman
Almost all superheroes, unless they have no civil life, have more than just one side to them. They tend to be torn between their superhero aliases and their civil identities which often stand separated.
Jessica Drew, or Spider-Woman, is also one of those people who have more to them than meets the eye. And while it could feel a bit hard to juggle at times for Jessica, she still handles it fine enough, both in the comics and in the fan art by Michael W Hall.
2 Retro Style
Modern overly digital painting is all fine and smooth but sometimes fans are in the mood for something more retro, or traditional. After all, Spider-Woman has been around for quite a long time with her first comic book appearance taking place in February 1977.
This colorful fan art by comicshuffler pays homage to the 1970s comics and it might make more than one fan nostalgic.
1 Black And White (And Grey)
Finally, let's prove once and for all that Spider-Woman would look amazing even in black and white comic books. Her signature red costume is amazing, of course, but it's not what makes Spider-Woman the heroine she is.
After all, she's a person fighting for good and standing against those who would hurt people. Red. shows a different view of the iconic superheroine and absolutely nails it!
