The mutant daughter of Scott Summers, Gwen Stacy, and Ana Soria, grown by the Jackal using technology stolen from Mister Sinister, the newborn Spider-Girl battles the Superior Spider-Man Otto Octavius and the X-Men in the form of a 30 ft. human-spider hybrid, resembling a giant garden spider with human eyes able to shoot eye-beams, before being returned to a normal size with sentience, to the physical size of a twelve-year-old humanoid girl.[5] Later, she enrols in and drops out of the Jean Grey School For Higher Learning under the name "Gwen Warren", before moving to Krakoa to get in touch with her father, becoming a member of X-Men Green as the superhero Spider-Girl, able to turn into both a giant spider and a "spider-girl" at a thought.

In "What If Someone Else Besides Spider-Man Had Been Bitten By The Radioactive Spider?", Betty Brant is one of three candidates – along with Flash Thompson and John Jameson – who is bitten by the radioactive spider which gave Spider-Man his powers. After confiding in Peter, and with his assistance, she begins to fight crime under the name "The Amazing Spider-Girl", with a mask similar to Spider-Man's but a very different costume. One time, she fails to stop a certain crook, who subsequently murders Peter's uncle Ben. The shock over the consequences of her failure makes Betty quit her Spider-Girl identity, although Peter takes up the identity of Spider-Man later on by synthetically recreating and ingesting the irradiated spider's venom.[6] This incarnation also appears in the events "Spider-Verse" and "End of the Spider-Verse".

An Ultimate Marvel version of Spider-Girl/Spider-Woman is featured with the Ultimate continuity. This version, known by various names, is a gender-swapped clone of the Peter Parker of the Ultimate Universe, with all of his memories, from their perspective having gone to sleep one day a boy and woken up the next as a girl. Initially known as Spider-Girl/Spider-Woman, she joins the Avengers and takes on the mantle of Black Widow, before returning to their original name.

In Ultimate Spider-Man #200, a glimpse of the future shows Kitty Pryde to eventually become Spider-Girl.[7]

In the pages of Old Man Logan, Ashley is the daughter of Tonya Parker and Hawkeye who did not like the way that Kingpin was running Hammer Falls. She becomes "Spider-Bitch", allying herself with a new Punisher and Daredevil, and plans to take back Hammer Falls, only for the group to be captured and Daredevil and Punisher to be fed to the carnivorous dinosaurs.[8] Hawkeye breaks his daughter out of her cell, whereafter Ashley immediately beheads Kingpin which avenges Daredevil and Punisher's deaths.[8] Then she attempts to kill her father, before taking over Hammer Falls as the new Kingpin.[8] Old Man Logan rescues Hawkeye as Ashley sends her men after them.[8]

The character appears in the "Spider-Verse" and Spider-Geddon storylines, now referred with her father's surname as Ashley Barton, and alternately referred to as "Spider-Girl" and "Spider-Woman" due to the family-friendly nature of the narrative, and is among the spider-powered characters who are recruited by Superior Spider-Man (Doctor Octopus's mind in Peter Parker's body) to help fight the Inheritors, before returning to the Wastelands in "Venomverse" and "Old Man Quill".[9][10]
