Gwen was bitten by a radioactive spider and gained spider-like powers. As the founder of a rock band "The Emm-Jays", she gets relief from her troubled life as a popular artist. With special powers like superhuman stamina, agility, strength, spider-senses, and wrist-mounted mechanical shooters, she helps those in need as her good friend Peter Parker. She works alongside lead Miles Morales in "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse" with Hailee Steinfeld reprising her role once more.
