!! Gwen Stacy / Spider-Woman
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stacy_profile.png]]
TheHero of the series. Better known to fans as Spider-Gwen.
-----
* ACupAngst: When Anya Corazón gushes about how awesome Earth-616's [[ComicBook/SpiderWoman Jessica]] [[MostCommonSuperPower Drew]] is, Gwen snarks that she is the incarnation of all her body issues.
* AllDrummersAreAnimals: When venting her frustration, Gwen gets ''really'' into it when she's playing.
* AllThereInTheManual: Her handbook entry reveals a bit about her backstory before Peter died. She initially used her powers to gain fame while not focusing on saving people but her father inspired her to do some actual crime fighting. She also received her costume and web-shooters from her world's version of Janet van Dyne.
* ArchnemesisDad: Prior to the events of ''Edge of Spider-Verse'' #2, her father is hunting her, unaware that it's his daughter.
* {{Badass}}: It's unclear how her world's version of the Rhino compares to others in terms of raw power, but the fact that she beats him to a pulp after he attacks her dad is very impressive.
* CoolBigSis: [[ComicBook/SpiderGirl May Parker]] sees Gwen as such, as while ComicBook/AnyaCorazon is roughly the same age she's too fanatical for May to relate to.
* TheConscience: Develops one in the form of Spider-Ham after being hit on the head, on the grounds that he's the only version of Peter that doesn't make her 'sadder than ''The Smiths''.'
* DeadpanSnarker: Comes standard as a heroic spider person.
* {{Determinator}}: She manages to Out-Determinator her world's Captain America with her declaration that she won't let anyone else die. Of course, Cap then helps her pull on her webline to bring a subway roof down on the Lizards.
* DimensionalTraveler: She kept a [[InterdimensionalTravelDevice portal bracelet]] from ''Spider-Verse'', which she uses in her side-job as a member of the ComicBook/WebWarriors. She also frequently travels to Earth-616 to ask Jessica Drew for advice on being a better superhero.
* GadgeteerGenius: Thus far averted. Gwen didn't invent her web shooters. [[AllThereInTheManual They were bequeathed to her by a retiring Janet van Dyne.]]
* GenericGraffiti: In order to lure out the Vulture, she tags a number of buildings with insults. Her personal favorite is "Death from a butt."
* ILetGwenStacyDie: Her chief motivation is preventing what happened to Peter Parker from happening to anyone else.
* InTheHood: Her costume has one that's part of the bodysuit.
* MissingMom: According to her bio, her mother died some time ago. It's unknonwn how she died but it was apparently when Gwen was a kid.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: Despite having a lean physique and not being particularly tall or heavy, Gwen is able to punch Rhino through a brick wall.
* ObliviousToLove: She was completely unware of Harry Osborn's crush on her until it was spelled out for her by a bandmate.
* PetTheDog: Despite the Bodega Bandit being a recurring member of her rogue's gallery and coming at her with a knife in one of her altercations, she withholds interrogating him when she realizes his dog was killed, and later gives him her pet hamster, complete with a tiny domino mask and hat - which she tied on while handcuffed.
* PungeonMaster: When she's not making snarky remarks about her current situation, she resort to puns. Usually to mock and/or distract her enemies. She even tells Captain America that, [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII unlike in her times]], bad puns are considered funny now.
* ShellShockedVeteran: Peter's death was a traumatic experience for her, and seeing Dr. Connors transform into the Lizard while snarling Peter's name causes her to have a flashback to his death, drop Captain America's shield, and collapse to the ground in the fetal position.
* SirSwearsALot:
** Gwen's word balloons have been peppered with more than a few colorful symbols in various issues. In fairness, she mostly seems to do this when frustrated or shocked, such as when she was thrown off of Washington Bridge into a garbage barge or when Hobie Brown suggested that Spider-Woman was in bed (figuratively) with Capt. Stacy, a statement Gwen [[{{Squick}} interpreted as literal.]]
--->'''Spider-Woman/Gwen:''' IN BED?!! What?! Blargf! Why?! I'm '''NOT SLEEPING WITH CAPTAIN STACY''', you little pervert! (Thinking: He's just '''my #@*% Dad''')
** Moments before, while snagging Hobie and his friend Izzy:
--->'''Spider-Woman/Gwen:''' Stupid #@#$&%# Kids.
* SitcomArchnemesis: During her cross over with the other Spider-Women, Gwen frequently breaks out into petty squabbles with [[ComicBook/{{Silk}} Cindy Moon]] mainly for her immaturity and her tendency to get captured and need backup. [[spoiler:Makes it all the more ironic that Cindy's Earth-65 counterpart is revealed to be the BigBad of Gwen's book.]]
* {{Unperson}}: Gwen has this status in the ''Comicbook/SecretWars2015'' event, where she finds herself in a world where she supposedly died years ago.
* UnskilledButStrong: Despite her great powers, it's made clear that Gwen is out of her depth when fighting people with comparable strength and formal training. A great example is her fight with Captain America, where she goes down after a single punch connects.
-->'''Matt Murdock:''' Imagine if you had one clue what you were doing with those fists?

!! George Stacy
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/george_stacy.png]]
Gwen's father, a police officer with the NYPD who serves as Gwen's sole SecretKeeper.
----
* ArchnemesisDad: At first, he was completely oblivious to the fact that his own daughter was Spider-Woman.
* ByTheBookCop: He's a police officer dedicated to upholding and enforcing the law.
* FantasyForbiddingFather: He invokes this by saying that if it were up to him, he'd tell Gwen to drop out of the band and focus on college.
* HeroAntagonist: He starts out in charge of the manhunt against Spider-Woman, not knowing that she's his daughter.
* HeroicBSOD: When he realized that the dangerous vigilante he'd been ordered to bring in dead or alive is his own daughter, his brain almost shut down.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: He's a huge fan of Captain America, and has all of the comic books written about her.
%%* ParentsAsPeople
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He lets Spider-Woman go when he realizes it's his own daughter he's holding at gunpoint.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: He tells [=DeWolfe=] that she can have his badge, but he's still going to do his job. When he has Spider-Woman at gunpoint and learns she's his own daughter, he lets her go rather than do his job and arrest her.
* SecretKeeper: He knows his daughter's secret, but it's not easy to deal with, with Gwen accidentally leaving her backpack at the scene of one of her battles.
* StreetUrchin: Grew up during a severe economic slump, and was a member of the Yancy Street Gang in his youth.
* TruthSeeker: After finding out that Spider-Woman didn't kill Peter Parker, he devotes himself to finding evidence that will prove it, even if doing so costs him his job.
!! Benjamin Parker
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ben_parker.png]]
Peter's uncle and neighbor to the Stacys.
----
* DeathByOriginStory: Averted, unlike his mainstream Marvel counterpart. Instead of Ben himself, it's Peter who dies as motivation for somebody else.
* TheDeterminator: He wants to know who Spider-Woman is, since he feels she was responsible for Peter's death. As such, he's shocked when George tells him that Spider-Woman is innocent.
* HappilyMarried: He's happily married to May, and deeply cares for her, telling George that she deserves to know who really killed her nephew.
* LethalChef: At the very least, Aunt May isn't singing any praises for his coffee.
!! May Parker
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/may_parker.png]]
Peter's aunt and neighbor to the Stacys.
----
* CoolOldLady: She's made her peace with Peter's death, and comforts Gwen about it.
%%* HappilyMarried: To Ben
* MomentOfWeakness: She blamed Spider-Woman for Peter's death when she was at her lowest and needed a target for her grief. After some time passed, she told Gwen that she regretted this, especially since the media took her accusation and ran with it.
!! Peter Parker / The Lizard
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/peter_parker.png]]
The original ComicBook/SpiderMan of Earth-616, who takes a ''very'' different path in this reality.
-----
* DeathByOriginStory: Peter serves as Gwen's TheLostLenore.
* GoneHorriblyRight: He wanted to be "special", and eventually turned himself into the Lizard.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Wanted to be strong like Gwen, which led to his death.
* LegacyCharacter: He was followed by Dr. Connors and a number of other people abducted as test subjects for an organization called S.I.L.K.
* PosthumousCharacter: Was already dead by the time of ''Edge of Spider-Verse''.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: His transformation into the Lizard was triggered after someone physically assaulted him at a school dance. He immediately [[SssssnakeTalk began to hiss a good deal in his speech.]]
!! Agent Harry Osborn / Green Goblin
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/harry_osborn.png]]
The new kid in town -- and inadvertent motivator for Peter to become The Lizard.
----
* AnArmAndALeg: Loses one of his arms when his glider's pumpkin bombs blow up the room he and Captain America are fighting in, but the Lizard serum allows him to quickly [[HealingFactor regenerate a new one]].
* AppropriatedAppellation: His costume, arsenal, and codename as the Green Goblin are taken from a ''D&D'' character Peter created for him when they were younger, which in itself was Peter's attempt at the trope. The nickname was given to Harry by bullies at the school for both being rich as well as being "a nerd". Harry had initially sneered at the idea and destroyed the custom figure Peter had made for him, but has taken up the identity in his friend's memory.
* BigNo: Invokes this trope when he learns of Spider-woman's identity right before he planned to kill her.
* HealingFactor: Gains this after taking the improved Lizard serum, though it also exacerbates his mutation.
* ILetGwenStacyDie: Like Gwen, he feels responsible for Peter's death. Unlike Gwen, he saw Peter transform into the Lizard before their fight, and feels that because he didn't speak up at the time, he contributed to Peter's death. The guilt he feels over this motivated him to become stronger and get training so that he could make things right... by killing Spider-Woman.
* LaserBlade: Part of his arsenal as the Green Goblin. His bio says [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial he totally didn't rip it off from]] ''Franchise/StarWars''.
* LoveTriangle: May have unwittingly sparked Peter's jealousy when he (Harry) asked Gwen out.
* MechaMooks: Pursues Spider-Woman with a squad of glider-riding robot soldiers.
* PsychoSerum: He chugs a vial of refined Lizard Formula in order to make himself strong enough to fight evenly with Spider-Woman. Physical or emotional trauma causes the mutagen to go into overdrive, changing him in both mind and body, so he needs regular doses of suppressant to keep from turning completely into a feral Lizard.
* {{Revenge}}: Is out for Spider-Woman's head, because he blames her (and himself) for Peter's death.
* SkySurfing: As befitting a Green Goblin, he and his robots ride on flying gliders.
* SuperStrength: One of the benefits of the improved Lizard serum. His bio states that he can lift 20 tons.
* TroubledButCute: Supposedly the reason a kid of his financial background is slumming it at Peter and Gwen's high school was because he'd set fire to his Prep School.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Flashbacks show that he had been present when Peter transformed and didn't say anything at the time. While this is understandable given the chaos, he's still this due to not speaking up later which leads to everyone's belief that Gwen is a murderer.

[[folder: Police]]
!! [[ComicBook/ThePunisher Capt. Frank Castle]]
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/frank_castle.png]]
A high-ranking cop with the NYPD and co-worker of George's.
----
* {{Badass}}: He beat the snot out of this world's version of Rhino, a character shown to be able to give Spider-Woman a run for her money.
* TheBerserker: He easily beats up Murdock's horde of ninja in a berserker rage, despite having been hospitalized a short while before.
* CowboyCop: He's not afraid to commit police brutality to get results.
* {{Determinator}}: After getting into a battle with The Vulture AND Spider-Woman, he required hospitalization. He returned to work the next day with a neck brace, a black eye, several bandages, his arm in a cast and sling, and immediately telling everyone to stop jawing and get back to work.
* HiredGuns: Before joining the NYPD he worked as a mercenary for Tony Stark's War Machine [[PrivateMilitaryContractors PMC]].
* InSpiteOfANail: Castle's wife and kids are alive on this reality (though she left with their kids). Their death motivated his 616 counterpart to turn into The Punisher. This Frank Castle was hired as a mercenary by Tony Stark and the nickname came from his love of over the top violence and the aggressive behaviour he displayed against suspects while working for the NYPD. He even wore a similar outfit to his mainstream counterpart while he was part of Stark's private army.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He beats up and unmasks Spider-Woman, but when he sees she's an ordinary teenaged girl rather than the sick, sadistic sociopath he thought he was up against, he reacts in shock and horror.
!! Officer [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Ben Grimm]]
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ben_grimm.png]]
An NYPD police officer who encounters the Vulture.
----
* AgeLift: Unlike the mainstream universe, Ben is an adult while every other member of the [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Reed Richards, and Sue and Johnny Storm]] are kids.
* {{Determinator}}: The Vulture carried him some distance before he managed to shake Officer Grimm loose. And even though he required a full body cast from his injuries, he still managed to crawl out of a dumpster and four more blocks under his own power to find help.
* MadeOfIron: Subverted. He may have survived a long drop into a dumpster, but he did not emerge unscathed, and was in a full body cast afterwards.
* MythologyGag: Those Yancy Street Gang kids ain't seen nothing yet... His career choice seems to have been inspired by the fact that the actor who played him in two "Fantastic Four" movies (Michael Chiklis) plays cops in two tv series: Vic Mackey in "The Shield" and Captain Barnes in "Gotham".
!! Detective Jean [=DeWolfe=]
Works with Frank Castle on the Spider-Woman task force. A friend and colleague of Capt. Stacy.
----
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Capt. Stacy convinces her to look into the Lizard business. '''She''' somehow manages to convince Peggy Carter to let her cooperate with their investigation of the Lizards.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Thus far, she's not been killed, unlike her 616 counterpart.

[[folder: The Mary Janes]]
!! Mary Jane Watson
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mary_jane.png]]
The lead singer of The Mary Janes, and Gwen's friend from high school.
----
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: She is meaner and more cynical than the original version.
* AttentionWhore: Called out on this by Glory.
* FieryRedhead: Wouldn't be MJ if she weren't.
* ForWantOfANail: Without Peter Parker's influence, Mary Jane became a Jerkass due to lack of positive influence from him along with the death of Gwen Stacy from the 616 universe.
* ItsAllAboutMe: The Mary Janes are named after her, obviously.
* JerkassWithAHeartOfGold: She is certainly a dick, but she is also a somewhat caring friend who even helped protect her arch-enemy from Ninja's.
* MythologyGag: The Mary Janes' hit single, "Face It, Tiger," is obviously a reference to MJ's first line of dialogue to Peter in Earth-616.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With pretty much everyone, Glory and her fight near constantly, she spends most of her talks with Gwen being passive aggressive and has a feud with Felicia Hardy so bad she was once almost choked to death. Still she and [[LikeAnOldMarriedCouple Glory are almost constantly with each other]], her passive aggression with Gwen is not completely unwarranted, and her feud didn't stop her from fighting deadly ninja's to protect Felicia.

----
* BaldOfEvil: Like his mainstream counterpart, he's got a head like a cue ball and is one of the most notorious gangsters in New York.
* TheChessmaster: He's set up his gang so that his attorney (and second-in-command) can run it for him while he's in jail.
* TheDon: A mob boss through and through.
%%* LargeAndInCharge

[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vulture.png]]
Formerly of Oscorp, the Vulture is one of Gwen's first major adversaries following her first adventure into the multiverse.
----
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Of the "Crazy Old Man" variety.
* GoingPostal: A disgruntled former employee of Oscorp.
* GoodWingsEvilWings: Vulture's are dark and mechanical.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: The main reason he became the Vulture in the first place.
* StarterVillain: Probably the first recurring nemesis Gwen faces as Spider-Woman.
!! Aleksei Mikhailovich Sytsevich / Rhino
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aleksei.png]]
A mercenary sent by Matthew Murdock (per Kingpin's request) to kill George Stacy, ultimately foiled by the new Spider-Woman in town.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: He ''[[{{Squick}} flirts]]'' with Spider-Woman while fighting her.
* BigEater: When meeting with Matt Murdock, Aleksei orders an enormous meal.
* TheBrute: He's much smarter than the mainstream Rhino, but still used as dumb muscle.
* ProfessionalKiller: He's a Russian assassin, and he's hired to kill Gwen's father.
* TapOnTheHead: Gwen defeats him by drumming on his head.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: His hair is blue... and [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation so is his skin]].
* YouNoTakeCandle: He has a very thick Russian accent and his English isn't very good, but he's surprisingly eloquent.
* WhatTheHellHero: When Spider-Woman attacks him, he tries to call her out when he's only trying to "help" her.
!! [[ComicBook/{{Daredevil}} Matthew Michael Murdock]]
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/matt_murdock.png]]
A New York City lawyer and Kingpin's trusted right-hand man, often found doing his bidding around town.
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: He's definitely not heroic in this reality, acting as the Kingpin's second-in-command.
* AffablyEvil: Murdoch is always polite and cheerful, even when issuing vaguely-worded threats.
* AmoralAttorney: Unlike most continuities, Murdock is much more shady...
* TheConsigliere: Kingpin seems to trust Matt's judgement enough to let him run his criminal empire while he's in jail.
* ForWantOfANail: Stick was killed early in Matt's training.
* FunTShirt: He has an orange T-Shirt with the words "[[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial I'm not the Kingpin]]" written on the front.
* GrayAndGreyMorality: How he apparently sees the world.
* HandicappedBadass: Blind, but while he doesn't fight as much as his 616 counterpart, he isn't to be taken lightly either.
* TheHeavy: Directly handles the running of Fisk's criminal empire while his employer is in prison.
* McNinja: Was taken in and trained by The Hand after they killed his previous mentor, Stick.
* SadisticChoice: He offers George Stacy a choice: [[spoiler:compromise his moral code and let him kill Frank Castle, or risk Frank killing his daughter. George calls his bluff and forces Murdock to back down.]]
* SecretSecretKeeper: He's deduced that Spider-Woman is Gwen Stacy by sending the Rhino and Vulture after her dad, only letting George know he's figured it out.
* SuperSenses: His sense of hearing functions as echolocation.
* VillainTakesAnInterest: Rather than an enemy, he sees Spider-Woman as a worthy prospective protégée.
!! Felicia Hardy / ComicBook/BlackCat
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/felicia_hardy.png]]
A thief (and lead singer of a band called The Black Cats) who has some unfinished business with Matthew Murdock.
----
* AntiVillain: It's not hard to see where she is coming from when she wants to kill Matt ''Murderdock'', the guy that killed her father.
* ClassyCatBurglar: Her dad was one and trained her to be one as well, but she decided stealing hearts through music was better.
* GlamRock: Felicia's preferred musical style, in contrast to The Mary Janes' GarageRock vibe.
* GratuitousFrench: Naturally, as its her native tongue.
* RaceLift: She's a black Francophone in this reality.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Her modus operandi against Kingpin and his ilk.
* TheRival: The Mary Janes, as she's the singer of her own band called the Black Cats.
* YouKilledMyFather: Her father was killed by Matthew Murdock, and she's never quite gotten over the grudge she has for him because of it.
!! The Lizards
----
* GovernmentConspiracy: George Stacy mentions six missing veterans, heavily implied to be the Lizards, and this world's Captain America states that these Lizards are the property of SHIELD. She later clarifies they are the product of a shadow cell called S.I.L.K., which SHIELD has been investigating.
* LizardFolk: Through exposure to an experimental serum, they were mutated into anthropomorphic reptilian monsters.
!! Bodega Bandit
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bandit.png]]
A low-level thief known to steal from bodegas around town.
----
* BlatantBurglar: As if his code-name wasn't obvious enough, he seemingly never takes off his domino mask and hat.
* CanonForeigner: One of the few characters not based on somebody from Marvel canon... that we know of.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: He's a low-level villain that targets bodegas and gets beaten easily by Gwen. Even the guys he steals from pity him. Considering he lives in a dumpster, it's implied he's homeless, making him all the more sympathetic.
* KnifeNut: He's first shown attacking Spider-Woman with a knife and easily being defeated.
* LoyalAnimalCompanion: In his second appearance it's revealed he has a canine sidekick, Bandito, [[spoiler:who is eaten by the Lizard. Gwen later gives him her hamster, Pine Cone.]]
* PhraseCatcher: "Bodega Bandit, you are the worst." (and variations thereof.)
* TearsOfJoy: When Spider-Woman gives him her pet hamster to replace his dog, the Bodega Bandit sports a TearfulSmile.

The sole surviving recruit of Project Rebirth, Samantha served as Captain America during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. Thanks to Arnim Zola, she found herself trapped in the multiverse for seventy-five years, only recently returning to her home reality.
-----
* {{Badass}}: She's a ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, so that goes without saying. She managed to land a solid punch in on Gwen that knocked her out cold.
* TheComicallySerious: She doesn't take lightly to Gwen's constant bantering.
* DeclarationOfProtection: When Peggy Carter tells her to wait for backup [[spoiler:before confronting Harry Osborn, Sam refuses saying that she intends to make sure that Spider-Woman is able to set things right]].
* DimensionalTraveler: She traversed the Multiverse for seventy-five years, until finally finding her way back home.
* GenderFlip: A female iteration of Sam Wilson, traditionally portrayed as a man.
* HeroDoesPublicService: Does volunteer work at the V.A. when she isn't doing missions for S.H.I.E.L.D.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Her backstory, much like 616-Steve Rogers', has her fighting Hydra and stopping them from
* MyGreatestFailure: Feels this way about not being able to help push social changes in her own timeline during the decades she was adrift in the multiverse.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Thanks to the super-soldier serum, she looks the same as she did back in the 1940s, and she wasn't even frozen.
* RaceLift: Played with. Steve Rogers (a white man) was never Captain America in this reality; it's always been Samantha, a black woman. Funnily enough, at the time of her debut, [[ComicBook/TheFalcon Sam Wilson]] (a black man) held the title of Captain America.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: After seeing Spider-Woman's reaction to Connors turning into the Lizard, Sam believes her to be innocent and is willing to go against orders to give her the chance to prove it.
* StatuesqueStunner: Her handbook entry lists her height at 6'1".
!! ComicBook/PeggyCarter, Director of ComicBook/{{SHIELD}}
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/peggy_carter.png]]
The director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and leader of Project Rebirth.
----
* AscendedExtra: Much like her [[Series/AgentCarter counterpart]] in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, Peggy was nowhere near as significant in the history of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the mainstream Creator/MarvelUniverse as she seems to be here.
* CompositeCharacter: This version of Peggy seems to be mixed with Nick Fury.
* DistaffCounterpart: In terms of leading S.H.I.E.L.D., ComicBook/NickFury doesn't appear to exist in this reality.
* EyepatchOfPower: Much like the one Nick Fury traditionally wears.
* VagueAge: Peggy was alive during World War II, but she doesn't seem to have aged very much over the seventy-five years Sam was stuck in the multiverse. Perhaps justified via ComicBookTime.

* LoveAtFirstSight: He's head-over-heels for Betty Brant after witnessing her fiery temper.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted with his namesake.
* OppositeSexClone: Sam is male, unlike the person he was cloned from.
* SociopathicHero: Thanks to being groomed from "birth" to be a super-soldier, he doesn't have much regard for human life, and has to be told ''not'' to start shooting civilians out of boredom. Part of why Captain America took him on as her sidekick was to get him out of this mindset.
* YouAreNumberSix: His civilian name is Sam 13.

The Earth-65 counterpart to Earth-616's Silk, she is the head of the organization known as S.I.L.K., responsible for the creation of the Lizards.
----
* BigBad: Revealed in the 2016 ''Spider-Women'' crossover to be this for Gwen.
* DitzyGenius: Cindy is a science prodigy [[spoiler: who engineered the spider that gave Gwen her powers.]] She also has a short attention span, and actually loses interest as she gives a villainous monologue.
* EvilCounterpart: She's a villainous version of Cindy Moon who runs an ominous evil organization.
* ForWantOfANail: Represents the direction Silk might have gone if she was never bit by a spider and placed in the bunker by Ezekiel.

* IJustWantToBeSpecial: After being bored with a normal life, Cindy joined SHIELD and later turned to villainy to make her life more interesting.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: This Cindy Moon wears mostly black and a red coat, unlike her 616 counterpart, who has just a few red details and a lot of white in her torso.
* StartMyOwn: Quit SHIELD and founded the villainous organization SILK, largely so she could be the boss and do whatever she wanted.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Offers this to Gwen and 616-Cindy.
!! Jesse Drew / Agent 77
An agent of S.I.L.K. who works directly for Cindy Moon. Gifted with spider powers and skilled in stealth and espionage, he steals Gwen's dimension-hopping watch, giving his boss access to parallel Earths.
----
* InSpiteOfANail: Despite not suffering a life-threatening injury in his childhood related to radiation and aracnhids' blood, Jesse Drew still got spider-powers like his female version while he was working for SHIELD.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: His costume.
* SpearCounterpart: He's a male version of [[ComicBook/SpiderWoman2014 Jessica Drew]].

[[folder: Earth-65 Heroes]]
!! Janet van Dyne / ComicBook/TheWasp
* AllThereInTheManual: Gwen's handbook entry tells us that Janet Van Dyne, aka The Wasp, bequeathed Gwen the web-shooters she uses when Janet retired from superheroics.
* RetiredBadass: All we know for sure is that this version of The Wasp retired.
* TheUnseen: She's yet to actually show up in the comic itself.
[[/folder]]
* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Is Kyle a misunderstood anti-hero, or just a villain in denial? There are also hints that Mike might not be as pure and naive as he seems, although he does seem to be genuinely a hero.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Kyle tends to fixate on Mighty Mike's appearance, with a notable example being during the gym class scene in The Mad Mask. Kyle also trusts the Mad Mask suspiciously quickly, and during Yesterday Again acts like he's on the receiving end of a breakup.
!!Characters/Spider-Gwen
The following characters appear in ComicBook/SpiderGwen.
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:Gwen Stacy]]
!! Gwen Stacy / Spider-Woman
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stacy_profile.png]]
TheHero of the series. Better known to fans as Spider-Gwen.
-----
* ACupAngst: When Anya Corazón gushes about how awesome Earth-616's [[ComicBook/SpiderWoman Jessica]] [[MostCommonSuperPower Drew]] is, Gwen snarks that she is the incarnation of all her body issues.
* AllDrummersAreAnimals: When venting her frustration, Gwen gets ''really'' into it when she's playing.
* AllThereInTheManual: Her handbook entry reveals a bit about her backstory before Peter died. She initially used her powers to gain fame while not focusing on saving people but her father inspired her to do some actual crime fighting. She also received her costume and web-shooters from her world's version of Janet van Dyne.
* ArchnemesisDad: Prior to the events of ''Edge of Spider-Verse'' #2, her father is hunting her, unaware that it's his daughter.
* {{Badass}}: It's unclear how her world's version of the Rhino compares to others in terms of raw power, but the fact that she beats him to a pulp after he attacks her dad is very impressive.
* CoolBigSis: [[ComicBook/SpiderGirl May Parker]] sees Gwen as such, as while ComicBook/AnyaCorazon is roughly the same age she's too fanatical for May to relate to.
* TheConscience: Develops one in the form of Spider-Ham after being hit on the head, on the grounds that he's the only version of Peter that doesn't make her 'sadder than ''The Smiths''.'
* DeadpanSnarker: Comes standard as a heroic spider person.
* {{Determinator}}: She manages to Out-Determinator her world's Captain America with her declaration that she won't let anyone else die. Of course, Cap then helps her pull on her webline to bring a subway roof down on the Lizards.
* DimensionalTraveler: She kept a [[InterdimensionalTravelDevice portal bracelet]] from ''Spider-Verse'', which she uses in her side-job as a member of the ComicBook/WebWarriors. She also frequently travels to Earth-616 to ask Jessica Drew for advice on being a better superhero.
* GadgeteerGenius: Thus far averted. Gwen didn't invent her web shooters. [[AllThereInTheManual They were bequeathed to her by a retiring Janet van Dyne.]]
* GenericGraffiti: In order to lure out the Vulture, she tags a number of buildings with insults. Her personal favorite is "Death from a butt."
* ILetGwenStacyDie: Her chief motivation is preventing what happened to Peter Parker from happening to anyone else.
* InTheHood: Her costume has one that's part of the bodysuit.
* MissingMom: According to her bio, her mother died some time ago. It's unknonwn how she died but it was apparently when Gwen was a kid.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: Despite having a lean physique and not being particularly tall or heavy, Gwen is able to punch Rhino through a brick wall.
* ObliviousToLove: She was completely unware of Harry Osborn's crush on her until it was spelled out for her by a bandmate.
* PetTheDog: Despite the Bodega Bandit being a recurring member of her rogue's gallery and coming at her with a knife in one of her altercations, she withholds interrogating him when she realizes his dog was killed, and later gives him her pet hamster, complete with a tiny domino mask and hat - which she tied on while handcuffed.
* PungeonMaster: When she's not making snarky remarks about her current situation, she resort to puns. Usually to mock and/or distract her enemies. She even tells Captain America that, [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII unlike in her times]], bad puns are considered funny now.
* ShellShockedVeteran: Peter's death was a traumatic experience for her, and seeing Dr. Connors transform into the Lizard while snarling Peter's name causes her to have a flashback to his death, drop Captain America's shield, and collapse to the ground in the fetal position.
* SirSwearsALot:
** Gwen's word balloons have been peppered with more than a few colorful symbols in various issues. In fairness, she mostly seems to do this when frustrated or shocked, such as when she was thrown off of Washington Bridge into a garbage barge or when Hobie Brown suggested that Spider-Woman was in bed (figuratively) with Capt. Stacy, a statement Gwen [[{{Squick}} interpreted as literal.]]
--->'''Spider-Woman/Gwen:''' IN BED?!! What?! Blargf! Why?! I'm '''NOT SLEEPING WITH CAPTAIN STACY''', you little pervert! (Thinking: He's just '''my #@*% Dad''')
** Moments before, while snagging Hobie and his friend Izzy:
--->'''Spider-Woman/Gwen:''' Stupid #@#$&%# Kids.
* SitcomArchnemesis: During her cross over with the other Spider-Women, Gwen frequently breaks out into petty squabbles with [[ComicBook/{{Silk}} Cindy Moon]] mainly for her immaturity and her tendency to get captured and need backup. [[spoiler:Makes it all the more ironic that Cindy's Earth-65 counterpart is revealed to be the BigBad of Gwen's book.]]
* {{Unperson}}: Gwen has this status in the ''Comicbook/SecretWars2015'' event, where she finds herself in a world where she supposedly died years ago.
* UnskilledButStrong: Despite her great powers, it's made clear that Gwen is out of her depth when fighting people with comparable strength and formal training. A great example is her fight with Captain America, where she goes down after a single punch connects.
-->'''Matt Murdock:''' Imagine if you had one clue what you were doing with those fists?

[[folder: Friends and Family]]
!! George Stacy
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/george_stacy.png]]
Gwen's father, a police officer with the NYPD who serves as Gwen's sole SecretKeeper.
----
* ArchnemesisDad: At first, he was completely oblivious to the fact that his own daughter was Spider-Woman.
* ByTheBookCop: He's a police officer dedicated to upholding and enforcing the law.
* FantasyForbiddingFather: He invokes this by saying that if it were up to him, he'd tell Gwen to drop out of the band and focus on college.
* HeroAntagonist: He starts out in charge of the manhunt against Spider-Woman, not knowing that she's his daughter.
* HeroicBSOD: When he realized that the dangerous vigilante he'd been ordered to bring in dead or alive is his own daughter, his brain almost shut down.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: He's a huge fan of Captain America, and has all of the comic books written about her.
%%* ParentsAsPeople
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He lets Spider-Woman go when he realizes it's his own daughter he's holding at gunpoint.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: He tells [=DeWolfe=] that she can have his badge, but he's still going to do his job. When he has Spider-Woman at gunpoint and learns she's his own daughter, he lets her go rather than do his job and arrest her.
* SecretKeeper: He knows his daughter's secret, but it's not easy to deal with, with Gwen accidentally leaving her backpack at the scene of one of her battles.
* StreetUrchin: Grew up during a severe economic slump, and was a member of the Yancy Street Gang in his youth.
* TruthSeeker: After finding out that Spider-Woman didn't kill Peter Parker, he devotes himself to finding evidence that will prove it, even if doing so costs him his job.
!! Benjamin Parker
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ben_parker.png]]
Peter's uncle and neighbor to the Stacys.
----
* DeathByOriginStory: Averted, unlike his mainstream Marvel counterpart. Instead of Ben himself, it's Peter who dies as motivation for somebody else.
* TheDeterminator: He wants to know who Spider-Woman is, since he feels she was responsible for Peter's death. As such, he's shocked when George tells him that Spider-Woman is innocent.
* HappilyMarried: He's happily married to May, and deeply cares for her, telling George that she deserves to know who really killed her nephew.
* LethalChef: At the very least, Aunt May isn't singing any praises for his coffee.
!! May Parker
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/may_parker.png]]
Peter's aunt and neighbor to the Stacys.
----
* CoolOldLady: She's made her peace with Peter's death, and comforts Gwen about it.
%%* HappilyMarried: To Ben
* MomentOfWeakness: She blamed Spider-Woman for Peter's death when she was at her lowest and needed a target for her grief. After some time passed, she told Gwen that she regretted this, especially since the media took her accusation and ran with it.
!! Peter Parker / The Lizard
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/peter_parker.png]]
The original ComicBook/SpiderMan of Earth-616, who takes a ''very'' different path in this reality.
-----
* DeathByOriginStory: Peter serves as Gwen's TheLostLenore.
* GoneHorriblyRight: He wanted to be "special", and eventually turned himself into the Lizard.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Wanted to be strong like Gwen, which led to his death.
* LegacyCharacter: He was followed by Dr. Connors and a number of other people abducted as test subjects for an organization called S.I.L.K.
* PosthumousCharacter: Was already dead by the time of ''Edge of Spider-Verse''.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: His transformation into the Lizard was triggered after someone physically assaulted him at a school dance. He immediately [[SssssnakeTalk began to hiss a good deal in his speech.]]
!! Agent Harry Osborn / Green Goblin
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/harry_osborn.png]]
The new kid in town -- and inadvertent motivator for Peter to become The Lizard.
----
* AnArmAndALeg: Loses one of his arms when his glider's pumpkin bombs blow up the room he and Captain America are fighting in, but the Lizard serum allows him to quickly [[HealingFactor regenerate a new one]].
* AppropriatedAppellation: His costume, arsenal, and codename as the Green Goblin are taken from a ''D&D'' character Peter created for him when they were younger, which in itself was Peter's attempt at the trope. The nickname was given to Harry by bullies at the school for both being rich as well as being "a nerd". Harry had initially sneered at the idea and destroyed the custom figure Peter had made for him, but has taken up the identity in his friend's memory.
* BigNo: Invokes this trope when he learns of Spider-woman's identity right before he planned to kill her.
* HealingFactor: Gains this after taking the improved Lizard serum, though it also exacerbates his mutation.
* ILetGwenStacyDie: Like Gwen, he feels responsible for Peter's death. Unlike Gwen, he saw Peter transform into the Lizard before their fight, and feels that because he didn't speak up at the time, he contributed to Peter's death. The guilt he feels over this motivated him to become stronger and get training so that he could make things right... by killing Spider-Woman.
* LaserBlade: Part of his arsenal as the Green Goblin. His bio says [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial he totally didn't rip it off from]] ''Franchise/StarWars''.
* LoveTriangle: May have unwittingly sparked Peter's jealousy when he (Harry) asked Gwen out.
* MechaMooks: Pursues Spider-Woman with a squad of glider-riding robot soldiers.
* PsychoSerum: He chugs a vial of refined Lizard Formula in order to make himself strong enough to fight evenly with Spider-Woman. Physical or emotional trauma causes the mutagen to go into overdrive, changing him in both mind and body, so he needs regular doses of suppressant to keep from turning completely into a feral Lizard.
* {{Revenge}}: Is out for Spider-Woman's head, because he blames her (and himself) for Peter's death.
* SkySurfing: As befitting a Green Goblin, he and his robots ride on flying gliders.
* SuperStrength: One of the benefits of the improved Lizard serum. His bio states that he can lift 20 tons.
* TroubledButCute: Supposedly the reason a kid of his financial background is slumming it at Peter and Gwen's high school was because he'd set fire to his Prep School.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Flashbacks show that he had been present when Peter transformed and didn't say anything at the time. While this is understandable given the chaos, he's still this due to not speaking up later which leads to everyone's belief that Gwen is a murderer.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Police]]
!! [[ComicBook/ThePunisher Capt. Frank Castle]]
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/frank_castle.png]]
A high-ranking cop with the NYPD and co-worker of George's.
----
* {{Badass}}: He beat the snot out of this world's version of Rhino, a character shown to be able to give Spider-Woman a run for her money.
* TheBerserker: He easily beats up Murdock's horde of ninja in a berserker rage, despite having been hospitalized a short while before.
* CowboyCop: He's not afraid to commit police brutality to get results.
* {{Determinator}}: After getting into a battle with The Vulture AND Spider-Woman, he required hospitalization. He returned to work the next day with a neck brace, a black eye, several bandages, his arm in a cast and sling, and immediately telling everyone to stop jawing and get back to work.
* HiredGuns: Before joining the NYPD he worked as a mercenary for Tony Stark's War Machine [[PrivateMilitaryContractors PMC]].
* InSpiteOfANail: Castle's wife and kids are alive on this reality (though she left with their kids). Their death motivated his 616 counterpart to turn into The Punisher. This Frank Castle was hired as a mercenary by Tony Stark and the nickname came from his love of over the top violence and the aggressive behaviour he displayed against suspects while working for the NYPD. He even wore a similar outfit to his mainstream counterpart while he was part of Stark's private army.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He beats up and unmasks Spider-Woman, but when he sees she's an ordinary teenaged girl rather than the sick, sadistic sociopath he thought he was up against, he reacts in shock and horror.
!! Officer [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Ben Grimm]]
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ben_grimm.png]]
An NYPD police officer who encounters the Vulture.
----
* AgeLift: Unlike the mainstream universe, Ben is an adult while every other member of the [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Reed Richards, and Sue and Johnny Storm]] are kids.
* {{Determinator}}: The Vulture carried him some distance before he managed to shake Officer Grimm loose. And even though he required a full body cast from his injuries, he still managed to crawl out of a dumpster and four more blocks under his own power to find help.
* MadeOfIron: Subverted. He may have survived a long drop into a dumpster, but he did not emerge unscathed, and was in a full body cast afterwards.
* MythologyGag: Those Yancy Street Gang kids ain't seen nothing yet... His career choice seems to have been inspired by the fact that the actor who played him in two "Fantastic Four" movies (Michael Chiklis) plays cops in two tv series: Vic Mackey in "The Shield" and Captain Barnes in "Gotham".
!! Detective Jean [=DeWolfe=]
Works with Frank Castle on the Spider-Woman task force. A friend and colleague of Capt. Stacy.
----
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Capt. Stacy convinces her to look into the Lizard business. '''She''' somehow manages to convince Peggy Carter to let her cooperate with their investigation of the Lizards.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Thus far, she's not been killed, unlike her 616 counterpart.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: The Mary Janes]]
!! Mary Jane Watson
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mary_jane.png]]
The lead singer of The Mary Janes, and Gwen's friend from high school.
----
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: She is meaner and more cynical than the original version.
* AttentionWhore: Called out on this by Glory.
* FieryRedhead: Wouldn't be MJ if she weren't.
* ForWantOfANail: Without Peter Parker's influence, Mary Jane became a Jerkass due to lack of positive influence from him along with the death of Gwen Stacy from the 616 universe.
* ItsAllAboutMe: The Mary Janes are named after her, obviously.
* JerkassWithAHeartOfGold: She is certainly a dick, but she is also a somewhat caring friend who even helped protect her arch-enemy from Ninja's.
* MythologyGag: The Mary Janes' hit single, "Face It, Tiger," is obviously a reference to MJ's first line of dialogue to Peter in Earth-616.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With pretty much everyone, Glory and her fight near constantly, she spends most of her talks with Gwen being passive aggressive and has a feud with Felicia Hardy so bad she was once almost choked to death. Still she and [[LikeAnOldMarriedCouple Glory are almost constantly with each other]], her passive aggression with Gwen is not completely unwarranted, and her feud didn't stop her from fighting deadly ninja's to protect Felicia.

----
* BaldOfEvil: Like his mainstream counterpart, he's got a head like a cue ball and is one of the most notorious gangsters in New York.
* TheChessmaster: He's set up his gang so that his attorney (and second-in-command) can run it for him while he's in jail.
* TheDon: A mob boss through and through.
%%* LargeAndInCharge
* MightAsWellNotBeInPrisonAtAll: Even though he's imprisoned before the events of ''Edge of Spider-Verse'', Fisk is still able to run his criminal organization through Murdock.

[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vulture.png]]
Formerly of Oscorp, the Vulture is one of Gwen's first major adversaries following her first adventure into the multiverse.
----
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Of the "Crazy Old Man" variety.
* GoingPostal: A disgruntled former employee of Oscorp.
* GoodWingsEvilWings: Vulture's are dark and mechanical.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: The main reason he became the Vulture in the first place.
* StarterVillain: Probably the first recurring nemesis Gwen faces as Spider-Woman.
!! Aleksei Mikhailovich Sytsevich / Rhino
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aleksei.png]]
A mercenary sent by Matthew Murdock (per Kingpin's request) to kill George Stacy, ultimately foiled by the new Spider-Woman in town.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: He ''[[{{Squick}} flirts]]'' with Spider-Woman while fighting her.
* BigEater: When meeting with Matt Murdock, Aleksei orders an enormous meal.
* TheBrute: He's much smarter than the mainstream Rhino, but still used as dumb muscle.
* ProfessionalKiller: He's a Russian assassin, and he's hired to kill Gwen's father.
* TapOnTheHead: Gwen defeats him by drumming on his head.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: His hair is blue... and [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation so is his skin]].
* YouNoTakeCandle: He has a very thick Russian accent and his English isn't very good, but he's surprisingly eloquent.
* WhatTheHellHero: When Spider-Woman attacks him, he tries to call her out when he's only trying to "help" her.
!! [[ComicBook/{{Daredevil}} Matthew Michael Murdock]]
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/matt_murdock.png]]
A New York City lawyer and Kingpin's trusted right-hand man, often found doing his bidding around town.
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: He's definitely not heroic in this reality, acting as the Kingpin's second-in-command.
* AffablyEvil: Murdoch is always polite and cheerful, even when issuing vaguely-worded threats.
* AmoralAttorney: Unlike most continuities, Murdock is much more shady...
* TheConsigliere: Kingpin seems to trust Matt's judgement enough to let him run his criminal empire while he's in jail.
* ForWantOfANail: Stick was killed early in Matt's training.
* FunTShirt: He has an orange T-Shirt with the words "[[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial I'm not the Kingpin]]" written on the front.
* GrayAndGreyMorality: How he apparently sees the world.
* HandicappedBadass: Blind, but while he doesn't fight as much as his 616 counterpart, he isn't to be taken lightly either.
* TheHeavy: Directly handles the running of Fisk's criminal empire while his employer is in prison.
* McNinja: Was taken in and trained by The Hand after they killed his previous mentor, Stick.
* SadisticChoice: He offers George Stacy a choice: [[spoiler:compromise his moral code and let him kill Frank Castle, or risk Frank killing his daughter. George calls his bluff and forces Murdock to back down.]]
* SecretSecretKeeper: He's deduced that Spider-Woman is Gwen Stacy by sending the Rhino and Vulture after her dad, only letting George know he's figured it out.
* SuperSenses: His sense of hearing functions as echolocation.
* VillainTakesAnInterest: Rather than an enemy, he sees Spider-Woman as a worthy prospective protégée.
!! Felicia Hardy / ComicBook/BlackCat
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/felicia_hardy.png]]
A thief (and lead singer of a band called The Black Cats) who has some unfinished business with Matthew Murdock.
----
* AntiVillain: It's not hard to see where she is coming from when she wants to kill Matt ''Murderdock'', the guy that killed her father.
* ClassyCatBurglar: Her dad was one and trained her to be one as well, but she decided stealing hearts through music was better.
* GlamRock: Felicia's preferred musical style, in contrast to The Mary Janes' GarageRock vibe.
* GratuitousFrench: Naturally, as its her native tongue.
* RaceLift: She's a black Francophone in this reality.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Her modus operandi against Kingpin and his ilk.
* TheRival: The Mary Janes, as she's the singer of her own band called the Black Cats.
* YouKilledMyFather: Her father was killed by Matthew Murdock, and she's never quite gotten over the grudge she has for him because of it.
!! The Lizards
----
* GovernmentConspiracy: George Stacy mentions six missing veterans, heavily implied to be the Lizards, and this world's Captain America states that these Lizards are the property of SHIELD. She later clarifies they are the product of a shadow cell called S.I.L.K., which SHIELD has been investigating.
* LizardFolk: Through exposure to an experimental serum, they were mutated into anthropomorphic reptilian monsters.
!! Bodega Bandit
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bandit.png]]
A low-level thief known to steal from bodegas around town.
----
* BlatantBurglar: As if his code-name wasn't obvious enough, he seemingly never takes off his domino mask and hat.
* CanonForeigner: One of the few characters not based on somebody from Marvel canon... that we know of.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: He's a low-level villain that targets bodegas and gets beaten easily by Gwen. Even the guys he steals from pity him. Considering he lives in a dumpster, it's implied he's homeless, making him all the more sympathetic.
* KnifeNut: He's first shown attacking Spider-Woman with a knife and easily being defeated.
* LoyalAnimalCompanion: In his second appearance it's revealed he has a canine sidekick, Bandito, [[spoiler:who is eaten by the Lizard. Gwen later gives him her hamster, Pine Cone.]]
* PhraseCatcher: "Bodega Bandit, you are the worst." (and variations thereof.)
* TearsOfJoy: When Spider-Woman gives him her pet hamster to replace his dog, the Bodega Bandit sports a TearfulSmile.

[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/samantha_wilson.png]]
The sole surviving recruit of Project Rebirth, Samantha served as Captain America during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. Thanks to Arnim Zola, she found herself trapped in the multiverse for seventy-five years, only recently returning to her home reality.
-----
* {{Badass}}: She's a ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, so that goes without saying. She managed to land a solid punch in on Gwen that knocked her out cold.
* TheComicallySerious: She doesn't take lightly to Gwen's constant bantering.
* DeclarationOfProtection: When Peggy Carter tells her to wait for backup [[spoiler:before confronting Harry Osborn, Sam refuses saying that she intends to make sure that Spider-Woman is able to set things right]].
* DimensionalTraveler: She traversed the Multiverse for seventy-five years, until finally finding her way back home.
* GenderFlip: A female iteration of Sam Wilson, traditionally portrayed as a man.
* HeroDoesPublicService: Does volunteer work at the V.A. when she isn't doing missions for S.H.I.E.L.D.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Her backstory, much like 616-Steve Rogers', has her fighting Hydra and stopping them from
* MyGreatestFailure: Feels this way about not being able to help push social changes in her own timeline during the decades she was adrift in the multiverse.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Thanks to the super-soldier serum, she looks the same as she did back in the 1940s, and she wasn't even frozen.
* RaceLift: Played with. Steve Rogers (a white man) was never Captain America in this reality; it's always been Samantha, a black woman. Funnily enough, at the time of her debut, [[ComicBook/TheFalcon Sam Wilson]] (a black man) held the title of Captain America.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: After seeing Spider-Woman's reaction to Connors turning into the Lizard, Sam believes her to be innocent and is willing to go against orders to give her the chance to prove it.
* StatuesqueStunner: Her handbook entry lists her height at 6'1".
!! ComicBook/PeggyCarter, Director of ComicBook/{{SHIELD}}
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/peggy_carter.png]]
The director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and leader of Project Rebirth.
----
* AscendedExtra: Much like her [[Series/AgentCarter counterpart]] in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, Peggy was nowhere near as significant in the history of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the mainstream Creator/MarvelUniverse as she seems to be here.
* CompositeCharacter: This version of Peggy seems to be mixed with Nick Fury.
* DistaffCounterpart: In terms of leading S.H.I.E.L.D., ComicBook/NickFury doesn't appear to exist in this reality.
* EyepatchOfPower: Much like the one Nick Fury traditionally wears.
* VagueAge: Peggy was alive during World War II, but she doesn't seem to have aged very much over the seventy-five years Sam was stuck in the multiverse. Perhaps justified via ComicBookTime.
!! Sam 13 / ComicBook/TheFalcon
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/falcon.png]]
