Spider-Man and Spider-Gwen
Everyone's friendly neighborhood webslinger hardly needs an introduction. Peter Parker, radioactive spider, with great power comes great responsibility, all adds up to one of the most iconic superheroes in history.
Spider-Gwen, on the other hand, needs a little explanation.
In an alternate universe, Gwen Stacy got bit by the radioactive spider rather than Peter Parker. She got the powers and became Spider-Woman. Peter, not knowing that his girlfriend is Spider-Woman, decides to develop a super-serum so that he can join her in crimefighting--and can stop the bullies that make his life miserable. Unfortunately, it turns him into the Lizard, and Gwen eventually ends up killing him by accident--just as the more well-known Spider-Man accidentally killed Gwen in "our" universe. Unlike Spidey (who was never blamed by the police for Gwen Stacy's death), Spider-Woman is blamed for Peter's death.
Spider-Gwen premiered in 2015 in the "Spider-Verse" story arc, and eventually did meet up with her counterpart in his universe. It became a huge success for Marvel, and its alternate take on the Marvel Universe in general has been well-received.
Spider-Man and Spider-Gwen made an appearance at GFGR 2018, and did a great job. They took time out of protecting the con to throw me a thwip or two.
