Hell’s Kitchen’s very own creepy crawler Spider-Women has always been a fan-favorite, making her a natural subject for cosplay. The Marvel character is different from most Spider-verse heroes because of her painted past that goes far beyond radioactive spiders.

Created by Archie Goodwin and Marie Severin, Jessica Drew found her way into the Marvel Universe in Marvel Spotlight #32 (1971) as an agent of Hydra going by Arachne. Sporting her original Spider-Woman costume with a full cowl, Jessica Drew finds herself suffering from memory loss and with no clear recollection of how she got her powers. However, the story dives deeper into her past enough to wake her memory and Hydra’s brainwashing after fighting S.H.I.E.L.D director Nick Fury. Soon after, Jessica would find her own path as the newfound Spider-Woman and received her first solo series Spider-Woman (1978), from writer Marv Wolfman and penciler Carmine Infantino. A year later, the arachnid-based hero would gain her own animated tv series Spider-Woman (1979), and become the first female Marvel hero to star in her own show.

Cosplayer aaliyahmason embodies the true essence of Jessica Drew and her iconic heroism as Spider-Woman in an electrifying post on Instagram. The cosplay pays homage to Jessica’s original 70’s costume design and shows the hero’s deadly venom blast powers, similar to Miles Morales. However, unlike her other Spider-verse heroes, Jessica’s origin began with a fatal illness as a child caused by uranium radiation. With the help from her father’s spider serum, intense genetic acceleration, and several years of cryogenic incubation, Jessica was able to survive her illness only to gain new spider-like abilities.

Jessica’s gone through several costume iterations in recent Marvel comics, including her leather jacket design with web holders and darker color design from Spider-Woman #1. Yet the hero always returns to her 70s roots, and for a good reason, the costume is metaphoric of Jessica’s past and her struggles with finding herself as Jessica Drew and Spider-Woman. Arachne’s mask hid Jessica’s face entirely, not to protect her identity from enemies of Hydra but from herself. However, after regaining her memories in Spider-Woman (1978), Jessica changes her identity as Spider-Woman (and Jessica Drew) by changing her mask into a half cowl and dying her hair black. A rebirth of the young hero’s independence from her past and starting a new life as a superhero.

Jessica Drew’s original Spider-Woman costume is favorable amongst fans but faced recent controversy in the Spider-Woman #1 2014 variant cover, putting the hero in an unflattering position. Nevertheless, in bringing Jessica Drew into the MCU, actress/director Issa Rae will voice the creepy crawler in the upcoming Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse sequel. Aaliyahmason’s Spider-Woman cosplay embodies the ruthless fighter in Jessica Drew and her adventures in Hell’s Kitchen.
