Arachne



Spider-Woman of Earth-1610. She is a female clone of Peter Parker - Spider-Man. Despite the circumstances of her upbringing, she is determined to be a force of good. She works for SHIELD, and is a recurrent member of the Ultimates.

Origin
In the Ultimate Universe, when Dr. Octopus and Ben Reilly were experimenting with Peter Parker’s ( Spider-Man) genes for the CIA at Roxxon, they managed to create five clones of Peter: Spider-Woman, Scorpion, Kaine, Tarantula, and one who was made to think he was Richard Parker. Spider-Woman's genes were altered the most, as she was the female clone of Peter. She was given the name Jessica Drew, agent Spider-Woman, and was prepped for a memory swipe, and later she would receive new, implanted memories of being a woman. The woman who would do the head-job was Cassandra Webb. But just as she met Webb, the Carnage-experiment escaped and released the other clones. Kaine wanted to find Mary Jane; however, Spider-Woman was against making any contact with Peter Parker’s life.

Power and Abilities
Spider-Woman has all the powers of Spider-Man (spider-like super strength, speed, and agility, as well as wall-crawling and a spider-sense that warns her of danger) plus the ability to fire webs from her fingertips (an ability the original Jessica Drew had in the 1970's Spider-Woman cartoon series).
