This is the character that got me interested in comics. My brother and I would go to the used book store near our home, and there we discovered the comic books for $.75 section. And I saw the Spiderwoman limited series, and thought it was interesting, as it actually featured a female character as the lead. So I bought issue number three, love it, and went back and bought the other three parts. Then I set about collecting everything with her in it. Avengers West Coast (which I own just about every issue since she joined) and Force Works. And now, as far as I can tell, she's in comic limbo.

Her costume was cool, a sort of flashback to the symbiote Spiderman look, (factoid: technically her costume inspired the symbiote costume for Spiderman, and not the other way around) and she had spiderpowers too. Strength, speed, agility, walking on walls-just like Spiderman. But she had something else too-mental webs that she could create to snare enemies and swing on if she needed. And the woman behind the mask was very different from your average herione too. She's a divorced mother with a younger daughter, and she has to juggle her carreer with the Avengers with her responsibilities as a mother. It was different, to say the least.

I watched the Marvel Action Hour's Iron Man just because she was on it. Oh, yeah, and she's the first action figure I ever bought too.
