User blog:ARTaylor/30 Years of Spider-Woman

This year marks the thirtieth anniversary of the debut of the second Spider-Woman, better known as Julia Carpenter. She first made a shadowy appearance in October 1984 in Secret Wars #6 before making a full appearance the following month in the next issue. The character's black and white costume became the basis for Spider-Man's symbiote costume appearance. Following the miniseries, Julia went on to join the Avengers, before Jessica Drew did, and Force Works. She currently operates as the second Madame Web.

Outside the comics, Spider-Woman made only one appearance but it was significant. She was one of the main characters on Iron Man, one of the few to stay throughout the entire series. In fact, she was Tony Stark's main love interest. In the first season she was played by Casey DeFranco where she was more a rival to Scarlet Witch. In the second season she was played by recurring Marvel actress Jennifer Hale and was the main object of his affections, ultimately ending the series with a kiss.
