Thoughts on Spider-Woman Jessica Drew

Next to the red and blue suited Peter Parker Spiderman, the red and yellow spandex suited Jessica Drew the spider woman is my favorite character.
I think the potential for what could be done with her character deserves it own book. She is a great character but under used. Even though I love Jessica as a hero and potential ally for Spider-man. I think Bendis as set the foundations for a very cool anti-hero. Jessica tells Peter at the end of the Clone saga, "I'm gonna need money." Peter's reply is, "don't rob any banks," without thinking that she's left pretty much destitute and dealing with a pretty heavy identity crisis. She remembers being a hero, and having a family, friends, a girlfriend, a job, and a school, but now is suddenly left with no support structure. The reasoning and the ability to sneak into buildings and dodge security is pretty sound. But when someone needs help the "Hero's Call" would convince her to do the selfless thing.
Jessica Spider Woman gives a great way to explore and examine what keeps Peter Parker/ Spider-man from reverting to his attitude before Ben died. It also had the potential for some great Gwen Stacy, bi-curious, fan service.
Besides, the spider woman costume is also one of my favorite spider man costumes. Jessica Drew is not particularly noted as a hottie in her own right; it's just when she puts on the mask and the metallic shiny skintight spider-woman costume and exudes the pheromones that she turns into a seductress. Behind the mask, I'd say Jess is not supermodel beautiful; but she has a body to die for.

Jessica Drew Spider Woman Costumes

Jessica Drew is the most famous woman to take on the role of Spider-Woman. She's not only the first Spider-Woman in comic books but also the one had her own animated television series that lasted from 1979 to 1980.
The most well-known Spider-Woman costume is the red and yellow costume. This tight full body suit is brightly colored for the comic book world but bares a lot of similarities to the black widow spider. Rather than having the main color be black, the dominate color is red. The red hourglass associated with black widows is then colored in yellow on her costume. Spider-Woman’s womanly curves are accentuated by having this hourglass shape placed in the center of her costume.

The original Jessica Drew spider-woman costume looks very similar to her present costume. The only major variation lies in the mask design. This would be one of the few times a woman taking on the role of Spider-Woman would cover her long hair. Most preferred the windblown look.
