'''Gwendolyne Maxine''' "'''Gwen'''" '''Stacy''' is a character appearing in [[American comic book]]s published by [[Marvel Comics]], usually as a [[supporting character]] in those featuring [[Spider-Man]] (Peter Parker). A college student and the daughter of [[George Stacy|George]] and [[Helen Stacy]], Gwen was the first romantic interest for Peter following his high school graduation before she was [[The Night Gwen Stacy Died|murdered]] by the [[Green Goblin]] ([[Norman Osborn]]). Her death has haunted Peter ever since, and stories published long afterwards indicate she still holds a special place in his heart.

Gwen was posthumously subjected to numerous [[Human cloning|cloning experiments]] by her former professor [[Jackal (Marvel Comics character)|Miles Warren]], Peter's clone [[Ben Reilly]], and an [[Artificial intelligence|A.I.]] of [[Harry Osborn]], the latter resulting in the creation of [[Kindred (Marvel Comics)|the Kindreds]], and Ben briefly resurrecting Gwen in "[[Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy]]" (2016–2017), with the [[Personifications of death|embodiment]] of [[Death (Marvel Comics)|Death herself]] confirming in ''[[Ben Reilly: The Scarlet Spider]]'' (2017–2018) that all clones Ben created of deceased people had their souls intact on being brought back, while clones of living people (like Ben himself) had unique souls of their own. A flashback solo miniseries, ''Gwen Stacy: Beyond Amazing'' (2020–2024), was written by [[Christos Gage]]. In ''The All-New All-Deadly Gwenpool'' (2025), she is again resurrected with [[Weapon X]]-like abilities under the designation '''X-31''', teaming up with Peter, [[isekai]] protagonist [[Gwenpool|Gwen Poole]], and archer [[Hawkeye (Kate Bishop)|Kate Bishop]] against "The Great Architect". In the [[Multiverse (Marvel Comics)|alternate universes]] of [[Ultimate Marvel]], ''[[Spider-Gwen]]'', and ''[[Ultimate Spider-Man (2024)|Ultimate Spider-Man]]'', a [[Spider-Woman (Gwen Stacy)|still-living Gwen]] becomes their respective realities' versions of [[Carnage (character)|Carnage]], [[Spider-Woman]], and [[Mysterio]].

The character was portrayed by [[Bryce Dallas Howard]] in ''[[Spider-Man 3]]'' (2007) and by [[Emma Stone]] in [[The Amazing Spider-Man (film series)|''The Amazing Spider-Man'' film series]] (2012–2014) and ''[[Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse]]'' (2023; archive footage). A [[Multiverse (Marvel Comics)|multiverse]] [[Gwen Stacy (Spider-Verse)|Spider-Gwen]] is voiced by [[Hailee Steinfeld]] in the animated film ''[[Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse]]'' (2018) and its sequel ''[[Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse]]'' (2023), and will reprise the role in ''[[Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse]]'' (2027) and ''[[Gwen Stacy (Spider-Verse)#Spider-Woman|Spider-Woman]]'' (TBA).

==Fictional character biography==
===Early history===
In her initial appearances, Peter Parker met Gwen while both are studying as undergraduates at Empire State University,<ref name="mnyc">{{cite book|first=Peter|last=Sanderson|title=The Marvel Comics Guide to New York City|publisher=[[Pocket Books]]|location=New York City|year=2007|pages=30–33|isbn=978-1-4165-3141-8}}</ref> but with [[Aunt May]] in the hospital, Peter was troubled and ignores her advances. She dated both [[Flash Thompson]] and [[Harry Osborn]] to make Peter jealous. Gradually, however, a romance develops; Gwen, a science major, appreciated Peter's intellect. Their relationship began almost immediately after Peter stops going out with [[Mary Jane Watson]], whom he begins to see as shallow and self-absorbed.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=December 2012}}

Later issues introduced Gwen's father, NYPD Captain [[George Stacy]], as well as her mother [[Helen Stacy]] and her uncle Arthur Stacy. Though her father was both fond of Peter and supportive of his alter-ego Spider-Man, his death strained Peter's relationship with Gwen after he is killed by falling debris during a battle involving Spider-Man and [[Doctor Octopus]].<ref>''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #90. Marvel Comics.</ref><ref>Manning "1970s" in Gilbert (2012), p. 55: "Captain George Stacy had always believed in Spider-Man and had given him the benefit of the doubt whenever possible. So in Spider-Man's world, there was a good chance that he would be destined to die."</ref> Gwen blamed Spider-Man for his death, and left for Europe to cope with her loss. She wanted Peter to ask her to marry him and convince her to stay, but his guilt stopped him from proposing.<ref>''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #93. Marvel Comics.</ref> Gwen's feelings for Peter eventually prompted her to return to New York, and their relationship is rekindled.<ref>''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #98. Marvel Comics.</ref>

According to Lee, who scripted all of the stories featuring Gwen Stacy up to this point, the original intent was for Gwen Stacy to be Spider-Man's central love interest. However, [[Mary Jane Watson]]'s unexpected popularity with readers after her debut changed the course of the plan as fans liked Mary Jane more and demanded she be Peter Parker's main love interest instead, and that "no matter how we [i.e. Lee and his artist/co-plotter collaborators] wrote it, Mary Jane always seemed more interesting!"<ref>{{cite news|last=Fisch|first=Sholly|title=The Wedding of the Year|work=[[Marvel Age]]|issue=54|publisher=[[Marvel Comics]]|date=September 1987|pages=12–15}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last= Thomas|first= Roy|date= August 2011|title= Stan Lee's Amazing Marvel Interview!|journal= [[Alter Ego (magazine)|Alter Ego]]|issue= 104| page= 30|publisher= [[TwoMorrows Publishing]]}}</ref>

===Death===
{{Main|The Night Gwen Stacy Died}}
[[Gerry Conway]] and [[Roy Thomas]] succeeded Stan Lee as writer and editor, respectively, of ''The Amazing Spider-Man''. Together with inker [[John Romita, Sr.]], they came to the decision to have Gwen Stacy killed.<ref name="LeeAmazing32">{{cite journal|last= Thomas|first= Roy|date= August 2011|title= Stan Lee's Amazing Marvel Interview!|journal= [[Alter Ego (magazine)|Alter Ego]]|issue= 104| page= 32|publisher= [[TwoMorrows Publishing]]}}</ref> It was Romita who first suggested the idea, during a plotting session with Conway when Romita was still penciller on ''The Amazing Spider-Man''.<ref name="CloneGen">{{cite book|last=Conway|first=Gerry|title=Spider-Man: Clone Genesis|date=June 1995|publisher=[[Marvel Comics]]|isbn=0-7851-0158-6|pages=4–5|chapter=Foreword}}</ref> Conway later said his contribution to the decision was motivated by a desire to bring Mary Jane Watson to the forefront,<ref name="CloneGen"/><ref name="clone69">{{cite journal|last= Veronese|first= Keith|date= October 2010|title= Spider-Man: The Beginnings of the Clone Saga|journal= [[Back Issue!]]|issue= 44| page= 69|publisher= [[TwoMorrows Publishing]]}}</ref> as he shared Lee's feeling that she was a more interesting character than Gwen Stacy: "[Mary Jane] hadn't lost the edge that made her an interesting character. Gwen didn't have an edge. She was just a nice person".<ref name="Walker 21">{{cite journal|last= Walker|first= Karen|date= October 2010|title= Gwen, the Goblin, and the Spider-Fans|journal= [[Back Issue!]]|issue= 44| page= 21|publisher= [[TwoMorrows Publishing]]}}</ref>

In [[The Night Gwen Stacy Died|''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #121]] ("The Night Gwen Stacy Died", June 1973), the [[Green Goblin]] kidnaps Gwen Stacy and throws her off a bridge (depicted as the [[Brooklyn Bridge]] but described in the text as the [[George Washington Bridge]]).<ref name=saffel65>Saffel, Steve.

In Superior Spider-Man #3, Peter briefly reunites with Gwen and her father in the afterlife, along with all his other lost loved ones, while in Doctor Octopus's failing body. Peter apologizes to them both for failing them but neither hold Peter accountable with Gwen even saying that “it worked out” because they were “together” and kissed him on the cheek.

Both the decision to kill Gwen and the method in which Marvel implemented it remain controversial among fans because some believe that Peter himself was the one who caused her death. The death became a pivotal point in both Spider-Man's history and in [[American comic book]]s in general. Many point to Gwen's death as the end of the [[Silver Age of Comics]].<ref name="Blumberg">{{cite journal| last = Blumberg| first = Arnold T.| date = Fall 2003| title = 'The Night Gwen Stacy Died:' The End of Innocence and the Birth of the Bronze Age| journal = Reconstruction| volume = 3| issue = 4| url = http://reconstruction.eserver.org/034/blumberg.htm| access-date = 2008-11-14| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100116034408/http://reconstruction.eserver.org/034/blumberg.htm| archive-date = 2010-01-16}}</ref> Before her death, except possibly as part of an origin story, superheroes did not fail so catastrophically, nor did the hero's loved ones die so suddenly and without warning.<ref>{{cite book|last1 = Sanderson|first1 = Peter|author-link = Peter Sanderson|editor-last = Gilbert|editor-first = Laura|chapter= 1970s|title = Marvel Chronicle A Year by Year History|publisher = [[Dorling Kindersley]]|year = 2008|page = 159|isbn =978-0756641238|quote= In June [1973], Marvel embarked on a story that would have far-reaching effects.

A note on the letters page of ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #125 states: "It saddens us to say that the whiplash effect she underwent when Spidey's webbing stopped her so suddenly was, in fact, what killed her".<ref name="saffel65"/> The comic book ''Civil War: Casualties of War: Captain America/Iron Man'' (2007) concurred that the proximate<!--word is correct; NOT "approximate"--> cause of death was the sudden stop during a high-speed fall. An issue of ''Peter Parker/Spider-Man'' revisits the issue, and further confirms Gwen died of a broken neck due to the use of the webbing.<ref>''Peter Parker: Spider-Man'' #26. Marvel Comics.</ref> On the other hand, in the 1987 edition of the ''[[Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe]]'', Gwen's death is attributed to the fall, not to Spider-Man's webbing, though the listed cause of death is still technically true – if she hadn't fallen from the bridge, the event that caused her death couldn't have happened. In his book ''[[The Physics of Superheroes]]'', physicist [[James Kakalios]] confirms that, consistent with [[Newton's laws of motion]], the sudden stop would have killed Gwen Stacy.<ref>[http://www.it.umn.edu/news/inventing/2002_Spring/superhero.html ''Inventing Tomorrow'' (University of Minnesota Institute of Technology magazine), Spring 2002: "Jim Kakalios enlists the aid of costumed crimefighters to teach critical thinking in an imaginative freshman seminar" by Paul Sorenson] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060615181025/http://it.umn.edu/news/inventing/2002_Spring/superhero.html|date=2006-06-15}}</ref>

Within the [[Marvel Comics]], Gwen Stacy's death has enormous repercussions. [[Mary Jane Watson]] feels the loss of Gwen deeply and becomes a more mature, compassionate person. Gwen's death also draws Peter and Mary Jane into a closer friendship, and eventually to romance.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=December 2012}} Miles Warren, one of Gwen's professors, was secretly in love with her. Following her death, Warren goes insane and adopts the persona of the [[Jackal (Marvel Comics character)|Jackal]].<ref>''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #129. Marvel Comics.</ref> In the fourth and final issue of the miniseries ''[[Marvels]]'' (April 1994), photographer Phil Sheldon befriends Gwen Stacy, who has absolved Spider-Man of any blame for her father's death. Gwen's simple faith in heroes convinces Sheldon of the purpose of the "Marvels" (i.e., superheroes)—to protect innocents such as Gwen. He resolves to write a book to praise the heroes and what they should mean to humanity. When the Green Goblin kidnaps Gwen and holds her hostage to bait Spider-Man, Sheldon frantically follows the resulting chase in a taxi and witnesses her death. While it is reported that she died from the shock of the fall, Sheldon thinks it looks like something else. Sheldon's faith in the Marvels is shattered.<ref>''Marvels'' #4. Marvel Comics.</ref>

===Clones===
Following the publication of ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #121, Stan Lee (who had since become Marvel's publisher) was frequently criticized by fans during his public appearances for killing off Gwen Stacy.<ref name="clone69"/> Lee, who had also found the character's death objectionable,<ref name="LeeAmazing32"/> insisted that Conway write a story bringing her back.<ref name="clone69"/> Conway strongly objected since he felt any sort of resurrection would break the plausibility of the stories, but ultimately gave in under the condition that after reviving Gwen, he could write her out of the book as soon as he wanted.<ref name="Walker 21"/> He decided that cloning would be the best means to bring the character back.

In the resulting story, written approximately two years after the story of Gwen Stacy's death,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.spiderfan.org/comics/reviews/spiderman_giant_size/005.html|title=SpiderFan.org – Comics : Giant-Size Spider-Man #5|website=www.spiderfan.org|access-date=2006-10-01|archive-date=2011-02-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110210223908/http://www.spiderfan.org/comics/reviews/spiderman_giant_size/005.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> "Gwen" reappears, perfectly healthy but with no memory of the time since her death. This story, published in ''Amazing Spider-Man'' #144 (May 1975), initiated the [[Clone Saga#The original Clone Saga|original Clone Saga]]. At the end of that story, Gwen's clone, a creation of Spider-Man villain the [[Jackal (Marvel Comics)|Jackal]], leaves to find a new life for herself, coming to accept that she is not really the same person who had a relationship with Peter Parker.<ref>''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #149. Marvel Comics.</ref>

In the 1988 crossover "[[The Evolutionary War]]", the [[High Evolutionary]], who had once been Miles Warren's teacher, captures Gwen's clone. He determines that Warren had actually not perfected the process, and instead injected a young woman with a genetic virus carrying Gwen's DNA, turning her into a copy of Gwen. After a subsequent altercation of Spider-Man and the Young Gods against the High Evolutionary's Purifiers, this woman is purged of the virus by the Young Goddess Daydreamer.<ref>''Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man'' #8 (November 1988). Marvel Comics.</ref> This is later [[Retroactive continuity|retconned]], with the High Evolutionary stating that Warren had in fact succeeded in perfecting his own cloning technique, and Daydreamer had accidentally given the Gwen clone a false new life under the name of Joyce Delaney.<ref>''Scarlet Spider Unlimited'' #1 (November 1995). Marvel Comics.</ref>

During the second "[[Clone Saga]]", Joyce, now married to a clone of Professor Warren named Warren Miles, sees a copy of Peter Parker's book of Spider-Man photos, ''Webs'', and remembers (to an extent) her real history. She returns to New York City, but after helping Spider-Man and [[Ben Reilly|Scarlet Spider]] fight the Jackal, she again disappears from Spider-Man's life.<ref>''Spider-Man'' #61: "Heading Toward Omega" (August 1995) and ''Spider-Man: Maximum Clonage Omega'' (August 1995). Marvel Comics.</ref> She makes herself a new life in London, but before she is murdered by the Gwen Stacy clone known as Abby-L shows signs of clone degeneration.<ref>''Spider-Island Deadly Foes'' #1 (October 2011). Marvel Comics.</ref>

Another Gwen clone appears in ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #399 (March 1995). This clone believes she is the real Gwen. She dies from clone degeneration in ''Spider-Man'' #56 (March 1995), the next issue of the story arc.

A further Gwen clone appears in the "Sibling Rivalry" crossover storyline between ''[[Superior Spider-Man Team-Up]]'' and ''[[Scarlet Spider (comic book)|Scarlet Spider]]''. She joins the Jackal (alongside [[Carrion (comics)|Carrion]] and a regular Miles Warren clone) in capturing [[Superior Spider-Man]] and [[Kaine Parker|Kaine]].<ref>''Superior Spider-Man Team-Up'' #2. Marvel Comics.</ref> She is sympathetic towards "Peter" and Kaine, but at the same time utterly loyal to the Jackal. When the Spiders break free, Superior Spider-Man disarms and attempts to kill her, but is stopped by Kaine. When the Jackal's lab is engulfed in flames, Kaine offers to save her, but she refuses, and is seemingly consumed by the fire.<ref>''Scarlet Spider'' vol. 2 #20. Marvel Comics.</ref>

==="Stacy Twins": Sarah and Gabriel===
{{main|Kindred (Marvel Comics)}}
The story arc "Sins Past"<ref>''The Amazing Spider-Man'' 509–514 (August 2004 – January 2005). Marvel Comics.</ref> by [[J. Michael Straczynski]] apparently reveals that Gwen Stacy had an affair with [[Norman Osborn]] and fell pregnant with twins, a girl and a boy, to whom she gave birth while in France, and named [[Kindred (Marvel Comics)|Sarah and Gabriel Stacy]], respectively. Gwen vowed to raise the twins with Peter Parker and refused to allow Norman access—an event which precipitated Norman's decision to kill her. By the time that Peter and his (then-considered-to-be) wife, [[Mary Jane Watson]]-Parker, discovered the twins' existence, they were grown to adult proportions, despite the relatively "short" time since Gwen's death, due to the genetic effects of their father's "goblin formula".

Sarah and Gabriel revealed their existence to Peter, with threats and as masked figures, after their father was publicly exposed as the Green Goblin—sending to Peter a page of an unsent letter from Gwen "from a time when she traveled to Europe between college semesters"—which revealed her pregnancy; an analysis of the letter by police detective Lamont revealed handwriting impressions of a second page—saying that she had given birth,<ref name="OHMV">''The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe'', "Stacy Twins" (2005). Marvel Comics.</ref> with the twins born fully developed after only seven month's gestation. When Peter as Spider-Man went a genetics lab, where he would prove Gwen's maternity of the twins, Sarah confronted him, and Spider-Man unmasked Sarah<ref>''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #511 (October 2004). Marvel Comics.</ref>—finding her to be "a dead ringer for Gwen".<ref name="OHMV" /> Gwen Stacy herself, however, only appears in this story arc in flashback, as Mary Jane explained to Peter that she knew about Gwen's illegitimate offspring and Norman's paternity thereof because she overheard Gwen and Norman arguing over custody of the children<ref>''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #512 (November 2004). Marvel Comics.</ref>—a secret of Gwen's that Mary Jane had "promised to keep all these years".<ref name="OHMV" /> Sarah later signed up with [[Interpol]], while Gabriel later become the Gray Goblin.<ref>''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #514 (January 2005). Marvel Comics.</ref>

Marvel would later retcon this revelation in the pages of [[Nick Spencer]]'s run on ''Amazing Spider-Man'' during the [[Sinister War]] event. Norman Osborn arrives at the safe house of Gabriel and Sarah in Paris, where an [[Artificial Intelligence]] back-up copy of his son [[Harry Osborn|Harry]] reveals to Norman that he never truly fathered the twins, and that he never had a sexual encounter with Gwen Stacy. The whole plan was to convince him he had the heirs he always wanted, so AI Harry hypnotized Norman and Mary Jane Watson with the help of [[Mysterio]] and the [[Chameleon (Marvel Comics)|Chameleon]], while [[Mendel Stromm]] created the mutated twins in a lab (this explains their rapid aging, as it is not truly related to Osborn's Goblin serum). Thus, this is all an elaborate scheme of Harry's to torment both his father and Peter.<ref>''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #74. Marvel Comics</ref>

She overheard their conversation and discovered Peter is Spider-Man in the process. She was angry at Peter for keeping this secret and for his involvement in her father's death. This flashback confirms the Green Goblin's real motivations for the murder: he clearly states that Gwen "is just a pawn", contradicting the whole core of ''Sins Past'' in which Osborn wanted to kill her to keep the twins with him and silence her forever. The "Stacy-Osborn" affair was retconned during the ''[[Sinister War]]'' event, 17 years later.<ref name="clone conspiracy 1">''Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy'' #1 (December 2016).

Gwen is later taken in by [[Ultimate Aunt May|Aunt May]] after her father, police captain John Stacy, is killed by a burglar wearing a Spider-Man costume and her estranged mother does not want to take her in. Her living in the Parker house creates more tension between Peter and Mary Jane, and leads to their temporary break-up.

Gwen Stacy dies in ''Ultimate Spider-Man'' #62. Before her death, she made peace with Mary Jane and assured her she never had romantic feelings for Peter. She considered him just as a friend. She is killed by [[Carnage (character)#Ultimate Marvel|Carnage]], a symbiote which was the offspring of the Venom symbiote, as he sucks the essence from her, draining her body to a husk. Although Peter is not in the area when she dies, he still feels some responsibility for her death, as he allowed Dr. Connors to use his genetic material for experimentation. His guilt makes him decide to retire as Spider-Man for a while. Eventually, he takes up his hero identity when his responsibility for the innocent becomes too great to overlook.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=July 2013}} At the end of the arc, there was an issue that dealt with Gwen's death.

Gwen Stacy returns to life in ''Ultimate Spider-Man #98''. According to [[Mark Bagley]], "Gwen's return is integral to the Clone storyline and is basically a way to rock Peter's world...again".{{dead link|date=August 2013}}<ref>[http://www.wizarduniverse.com/magazine/wizard/001060044.cfm "Wizard Universe"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080122065848/http://www.wizarduniverse.com/magazine/wizard/001060044.cfm|date=January 22, 2008}}</ref> In this issue, Gwen appears to have no memory of her "death" and believes she was in a hospital, from which she has escaped. In issue #100, after a raft of revelations, the stress of the situation enrages "Gwen". She transforms into [[Carnage (character)|'''Carnage''']] before leaping out the window.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=July 2013}} In the next issue, "[[Dr. Richard Parker|Richard Parker]]" claims Gwen should not have met Peter at all, and was merely an experiment in [[stem cell research]]. This Gwen/Carnage fights with the Fantastic Four, Nick Fury, and the Spider-Slayer drones, until she is knocked unconscious by a beam of light, and taken into custody. In issue #113, Norman Osborn as the Green Goblin causes a massive prison break from the Triskelion, with Gwen walking out amidst the chaos, disappearing in the shadows. It was then revealed that during government experiments to regrow the Carnage symbiote from its remains, Gwen's consciousness (still alive inside of Carnage) had assumed control over the symbiote to reconstitute her body, with no knowledge of her death.{{dead link|date=August 2013}}<ref>[http://www.ign.com/comics/ultimate-spider-man "Ultimate Spider-Man Pictures Full Size"]. [[IGN]].</ref>

During the "War of the Symbiotes" storyline, Gwen/Carnage's back story in the Triskelion is revealed. It is shown Gwen has been taking some form of therapy with Tony Stark. However, when the Green Goblin broke out of the Triskelion, Gwen escaped and went to Peter Parker's house in a confused and terrified state, with Carnage's face on her body. During an exchange between Peter and Gwen, Eddie Brock attempts to attack Aunt May and retake his symbiote. In a rage, Spider-Man engages Venom on a nearby rooftop. During the fight, Gwen is shown to be able to use her symbiote to fight off Eddie but Eddie reabsorbs his symbiote along with the Carnage symbiote rendering Gwen Stacy an average girl. After a series of tests, it is concluded that Gwen is not a clone but consciously and genetically is the original reborn (though Gwen's original body died, the Carnage symbiote absorbed her being and they had bonded since her original death) with her eyes turned blue (originally,  they were hazel). After S.H.I.E.L.D. intervenes, S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Danvers states Gwen will remain in S.H.I.E.L.D. custody. Peter and May argue for her to come back to live with them, with Tony Stark supporting the Parkers. In ''Ultimate Spider-Man'' #129, the Parkers are now helping to rebuild Gwen's life. Her ghastly experience with the Carnage symbiote also causes her to develop a death anxiety she gradually controls. Six months after the "Ultimatum" storyline, in ''Ultimate Comics Spider-Man'' #1, Gwen is living with the Parkers again and is dating Peter after MJ broke up with him. However, circumstances involving the Chameleon made Gwen realize that Peter and MJ are still in love, and believes that they shouldn't be together, even if she wants to be with him. She breaks up with him, but vows to be his loyal friend. She also continues to live with the Parkers due to Gwen and Aunt May having become close in a surrogate mother-daughter fashion.

After Peter's death, Gwen and May re-locate to France but return to New York after hearing about the re-emergence of a [[Spider-Man (Miles Morales)|new Spider-Man]], Miles Morales.<ref>''Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man'' #11. Marvel Comics.</ref><ref>''Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man'' #13. Marvel Comics.</ref>

During the "[[Spider-Men]]" storyline, Gwen and Aunt May meet the Peter Parker of the [[Earth-616]] continuity after he is accidentally and briefly sent to the Ultimate universe. They even attack him, as they believe he is trying to imposter their Peter.<ref>''Spider-Men'' #3. Marvel Comics.</ref> It is only through his mannerisms similar to Peter and his choice of words that they believe that he is not an imposter. Gwen, being intrigued to learn about her counterpart (although she is not informed of her other self's death, nor does she inform him of her own previous death and resurrection), talks with him. Later, she also tries to tell Mary Jane about the other Peter's arrival in their world, as the two have formed a friendship.<ref>''Spider-Men'' #4. Marvel Comics.</ref>

When Green Goblin escapes custody after S.H.I.E.L.D. was shut down, he arrives at the front yard of Aunt May's house and confronts Miles.<ref>''Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man'' #3. Marvel Comics.</ref> Gwen and Aunt May are inside watching the television where the battle of Miles and Green Goblin was being broadcast. Soon, Peter emerges to aid Miles in the fight, to the surprise of Gwen and Aunt May. Green Goblin flees at his arrival and the two Spider-Men depart. Gwen is unsure of the identity of the original Spider-Man, but Aunt May assures her that his motives show that it is him.<ref>''Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man'' #4. Marvel Comics.</ref> Later, Gwen and Aunt May walk over to Mary Jane's house and overhear Peter's explanation of his unknown resurrection. Gwen sprints over and joyfully reunites with him.<ref>''Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man'' #6. Marvel Comics.</ref> After the two Spider-Men defeat Green Goblin, Peter tells Gwen that he intends to go on a quest to find out the truth of his mystery resurrection and leaves her and Aunt May once more, promising to return.<ref>''Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man'' #7. Marvel Comics.</ref>

The Ultimate Universe is destroyed in the ''Secret Wars'' event, but the world is restored later on. In it, Peter returns to the role of Spider-Man and Gwen is possibly still living with Aunt May.

Early in the series, ''Ultimate Spider-Man #25'' (October 2002) paid homage to Gwen Stacy's death in the [[Earth-616]] continuity, although Gwen herself was not involved. The Green Goblin tossed Mary Jane off the [[Queensboro Bridge]]. Spider-Man caught her leg with his webbing, just as with Gwen. The issue ended with a cliffhanger: when Spider-Man pulled Mary Jane up, she appeared to be either unconscious or dead. The cliffhanger was resolved in the next issue when Mary Jane awoke in #26, uninjured.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=July 2013}}

===Ultimate Universe===
An alternate universe variant of Gwen Stacy from Earth-6160 appears in the "Ultimate Universe" imprint. This version is the wife of [[Harry Osborn#Ultimate Universe|Harry Osborn]].<ref>''[[Ultimate Invasion]]'' #2. Marvel Comics.</ref> After Norman and Emily Osborn are killed in a [[false flag]] attack orchestrated by the [[Illuminati (comics)#Ultimate Universe|Maker's Council]], Gwen and Harry become the sole inheritors of [[Oscorp]]. Moreover, Gwen became '''[[Mysterio#Ultimate Universe|Mysterio]]''' after her predecessor and father George died under mysterious circumstances.<ref>''Ultimate Spider-Man'' Vol. 3 #16. Marvel Comics.</ref>

===What If===
Gwen Stacy has been featured in numerous "[[What If (comics)|What If]]" stories:

* In "What if Gwen Stacy had lived?", Peter saves Gwen by jumping after her rather than catching her with a web-line. In doing this, he cushions her from the impact as they hit the water and subsequently gives her CPR. After regaining consciousness, Gwen sees him without his mask. After explaining himself to her, Peter proposes to Gwen, and she accepts. Meanwhile, the Green Goblin mails to [[J. Jonah Jameson]] proof of Spider-Man's real identity. On the day of Peter's wedding to Gwen, Jonah has published the expose and uses it to acquire a warrant for Peter's arrest. Peter escapes from the police moments after his wedding to Gwen, but the issue ends with Peter on the run from the law and pondering his uncertain future. As the issue ends, Gwen departs with [[Robbie Robertson (character)|Robbie Robertson]], who promises Gwen they will do whatever they can to help Peter and quits the ''Bugle''.<ref>''What If?'' #24. Marvel Comics.</ref>
* In "What If Spider-Man Had Kept His Six Arms?", Spider-Man (whose six-arms mutation was permanent here) is able to prevent Gwen Stacy's death.<ref>''What If?'' vol. 2 #42</ref>
* At the very end of [[Peter David]]'s one-shot "What If: The Other", Peter Parker (now calling himself "Poison") uses part of the [[Venom (character)|Venom]] symbiote attached to him to resurrect Gwen Stacy. She takes the appearance of [[Carnage (character)|Carnage]].<ref>''What If: The Other''. Marvel Comics.</ref>
* In "What if Peter Parker became the Punisher?", Peter (who is [[the Punisher]] in this continuity) is able to save Gwen by killing the Green Goblin and webbing her body to a suspended scaffold on the bridge. Feeling guilty over almost getting her killed, he quits being the Punisher to be with her.<ref>''What If? Punisher'' #1 (October 2018). Marvel Comics.</ref>
* In ''What If...Dark?: Spider-Gwen'' #1, Peter saves Gwen by jumping after her, but is killed when the Green Goblin cuts his web line and causes him to break his neck on a bridge pillar before his body cushions Gwen's fall. Upon discovering his secret, Gwen protects Peter's identity by discarding his costume and claiming Goblin took them both hostage at random. She subsequently dons Spider-Man's spare costume and vows revenge against the Goblin. She works together with Harry to trap the villain, but refuses to kill him as she realizes doing so would not be what Peter wanted. Harry does choose to kill him, but is horrified when he discovers the Goblin was his father. Blaming Gwen for Norman's death, Harry becomes the new Green Goblin while Gwen promises Peter she'll resolve her mistakes as the new Spider-Woman despite being powerless.<ref>''What If...?

===Television===
* Gwen Stacy was deliberately excluded from ''[[Spider-Man: The Animated Series]]'' as the creators felt they could neither allow her to live nor include a character who was going to die, leading to [[Black Cat (Marvel Comics)|Felicia Hardy]] filling her role as Peter Parker's first love interest prior to Mary Jane's introduction. Despite this, an [[Multiverse (Marvel Comics)|alternate universe]] version of Stacy appears in the two-part series finale "Spider Wars", voiced by [[Mary Kay Bergman]].<ref name="btva2">{{cite web|title=Gwen Stacy Voices (Spider-Man)|url=https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/characters/Spider-Man/Gwen-Stacy/|access-date=October 19, 2024|publisher=Behind The Voice Actors}} A green check mark indicates that a role has been confirmed using a screenshot (or collage of screenshots) of a title's list of voice actors and their respective characters found in its credits or other reliable sources of information.</ref> This version is the fiancée of an alternate universe version of Spider-Man who became a rich industrialist.

Despite their feelings for each other, Parker begins dating [[Liz Allan]] while Stacy dates Harry. In the series finale, she and Parker acknowledge their feelings for each other and agree to break up with Harry and Allan. Following [[Norman Osborn]]'s apparent death however, Stacy stays with Harry to care for him.
* Spider-Gwen appears in the ''[[Ultimate Spider-Man (TV series)|Ultimate Spider-Man]]'' episode "Return to the Spider-Verse" Pt. 4, voiced by [[Dove Cameron]].<ref>{{cite web|last1=Goldman|first1=Eric|title=Ultimate Spider-Man Introducing Spider-Gwen into Animation in "Return to the Spider-Verse" Storyline|url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/08/23/ultimate-spider-man-introducing-spider-gwen-into-animation-in-return-to-the-spider-verse-storyline|website=[[IGN]]|access-date=26 August 2016|date=23 August 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160824151419/http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/08/23/ultimate-spider-man-introducing-spider-gwen-into-animation-in-return-to-the-spider-verse-storyline|archive-date=August 24, 2016}}</ref><ref name="btva2" /><ref name="btva3">{{cite web|title=Spider-Woman / Gwen Stacy Voices (Spider-Man)|url=https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/characters/Spider-Man/Spider-Woman-Gwen-Stacy/|access-date=October 19, 2024|publisher=Behind The Voice Actors}} A green check mark indicates that a role has been confirmed using a screenshot (or collage of screenshots) of a title's list of voice actors and their respective characters found in its credits or other reliable sources of information.</ref> After [[Miles Morales]] vanished from her universe, Gwen Stacy allied with her universe's [[Aunt May|May Parker]] to become Spider-Woman and reign in the chaos that befell her city using technology to mimic Morales' spider powers.

She is later chosen by Morales to replace him as a spider-hero as he and his family move to Parker's universe.

* Ghost-Spider appears in the ''[[Marvel Rising]]'' franchise, voiced again by Dove Cameron.<ref name="btva2" /><ref name="btva3" /> While this version is primarily based on Stacy, she uses an alias that originated in the comics as a [[Ghost Rider]] variant of Spider-Man and has the partially dyed pink hair of [[Gwenpool]] in her civilian identity. This redesign was cited by a ''Marvel Rising'' character designer, who mistook an image of Gwenpool by [[Gurihiru]] for Gwen Stacy while using [[Google Images]] to reference the former character's physical appearance during the series' development. The "Ghost-Spider" alias was later integrated into [[Marvel Comics]] and related animated Spider-Man media to distinguish the character from [[Spider-Woman|other Spider-Women]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://news.marvel.com/tv/81626/marvel-to-launch-new-animation-franchise-marvel-rising/|title=MARVEL TO LAUNCH NEW ANIMATION FRANCHISE 'MARVEL RISING'|date=December 7, 2017|website=Marvel.com|access-date=December 10, 2017|archive-date=December 8, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171208004045/https://news.marvel.com/tv/81626/marvel-to-launch-new-animation-franchise-marvel-rising/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

* A student in [[Peter Parker (2002 film series character)|Peter Parker]]'s university class from ''[[Spider-Man 2]]'', portrayed by an uncredited [[Extra (acting)|extra]], is identified as Gwen Stacy in the film's novelization.
* Gwen Stacy appears in ''[[Spider-Man 3]]'', portrayed by [[Bryce Dallas Howard]]. This version is a model, classmate, and lab partner of Peter's, and [[Eddie Brock]]'s ex-girlfriend. After Spider-Man rescues Gwen, he urges her to kiss him during a public ceremony, upsetting his girlfriend, [[Mary Jane Watson (2002 film series character)|Mary Jane Watson]]. After breaking up with Eddie, Gwen goes on a date with a [[Symbiote (comics)|symbiote]]-influenced Peter, only to realize he was trying to make Watson jealous. Upset, Gwen apologizes to Mary Jane and leaves Peter. Later, Eddie becomes Venom and targets Parker in revenge for ruining his life.
* Howard has stated she would love to be a part of any continuation of the film franchise, while acknowledging her character's opportunity may have passed, especially after ''Spider-Man 3'' ended with Parker and Watson once again in each other's arms. In May 2007, actor [[James Cromwell]], who played, [[George Stacy|Captain Stacy]] in the film, stated he thought the natural progression for the character would be for both to die early in ''[[Spider-Man 4]]'', mirroring the comics, with Howard adding that it would not have bothered her. Due to a [[reboot (fiction)|reboot]] however, the film was cancelled, although Stacy was left in the draft.

[[Gwen Stacy (band)|Gwen Stacy]] was an American [[metalcore]] band from [[Indianapolis, Indiana]], active between 2004 and 2010, whose name came from the comic book character Gwen Stacy. The band announced a reunion in April 2014.

Due to the popularity of [[Spider-Gwen]], an [[Multiverse (Marvel Comics)|alternate reality]] version of Gwen as [[Spider-Woman]] introduced in ''[[Edge of Spider-Verse]]'' in September 2014, in June 2015 Marvel published variant covers for 20 of their current series, which saw Gwen Stacy re-imagined as other Marvel characters, such as [[Doctor Strange]], [[Groot]] and [[Wolverine (character)|Wolverine]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://marvel.com/news/comics/24438/gwen_takes_over|title=GWEN TAKES OVER|publisher=Marvel|date=14 April 2015|access-date=5 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150827021439/http://marvel.com/news/comics/24438/gwen_takes_over|archive-date=27 August 2015|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref> One of those variants, for ''Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars'' #2, featured an amalgam of the design of Gwen Stacy and [[Deadpool|Wade Wilson]] dubbed "[[Gwenpool]]", which came to be especially popular with the fans.<ref>{{cite web|first=Rich|last= Johnston|url=http://www.bleedingcool.com/2015/08/21/and-finally-has-marvel-noticed-that-gwenpool-is-a-thing-now|title=And Finally… Has Marvel Noticed That Gwenpool Is A Thing Now?|publisher=[[Bleeding Cool]]|date= August 21, 2015}}</ref> As a result, Marvel produced two stories featuring Gwenpool as an original character, a backup story in the series ''[[Howard the Duck]]'', and a one-shot, ''Gwenpool Holiday Special'' #1,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/marvel-announces-gwenpool-one-shot-howard-the-duck-back-up-stories|title=MARVEL ANNOUNCES "GWENPOOL HOLIDAY SPECIAL", "HOWARD THE DUCK" BACKUP STORIES|publisher=[[Comic Book Resources]]|date=September 11, 2015|access-date=September 17, 2015|archive-date=July 8, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160708074857/http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/marvel-announces-gwenpool-one-shot-howard-the-duck-back-up-stories|url-status=dead}}</ref> with ''Howard the Duck'' #1 establishing that her name is actually "[[Gwenpool|Gwen Poole]]", not Gwen Stacy, or even an alternate version of either Gwen Stacy or Wade Wilson, presented as a [[fangirl]] from the real world who is [[Isekai|transported to the Marvel Universe]].
