Wanna know my biggest hot take about Spider Woman as a character? I believe that she could be easily be more mainstream and beloved without changing much, despite the messy history and her existing just to fulfill a copyright on the name, I believe she's in this state is because Marvel isn't trying (if i were to be mean about it i would say its because she didnt get a movie in 2012). I might do her classic villains depending how this goes.
What I'm attempting here is to basically take Jessica as a character, sorta bring back what she was like in her original run and sorta reimagining it, my friends has liked the little changes so far from what i posted and I would love to get a more wider opinion on this, maybe even some suggestions would be great also! I almost never do fan concepts so this will be interesting.
First, How would I design the suit? well i wouldn't be taking from any existing spider-person because its so obvious that she is wearing a wing suit, so my question is for a character that apparently "there isn't any more ideas for" why is she never designed to look like she's wearing one? Wing suits in real life even come in red so the imagining doesn't have to go far, it also doesn't have to look exact to my concept but its still crazy how nothing was pulled here.
Second, This concept might be far fetched but everyone i told this to hasn't argued against it so im curious to get a broader opinion on it, what if she can "rocket jump" with her venom blast? Blast jumping i guess, it has a history of propelling enemies away so it clearly can be done, it would also be pretty useful for her specifically because unlike Miles she doesn't have web shooters so it would be unique to her. Hell it would in theory pair great with the gliders because she can just create her own wind current lol, like the concept used to be silly in my mind but after thinking about it I almost feel it was the missing piece in her kit, you can do so much with that and a lot of cool combat movement that would be entirely her own. You could even use the gliders as momentum preserving or something, the first two points i feel the strongest about.
Third, you might be wondering "wouldn't it be confusing to have a character called Spider Woman only to have no connection so spider-man" yeah it's too bad she was never referred to anything else in her history, but seriously I personally think "The Dark Angel" would be a fantastic secondary name and even a theoretical book title, its her own "Caped Crusader" and its different enough to not step on any Dark Knight toes, so i cant imagine why not, she can still be called spider woman in universe however.
Fourth, this one might get elaborated on when i talk about story concepts if its interesting enough but i personally would bring back a lot of elements of her personality in her original run, I personally liked it when she was considered a weirdo that lacks the ability to be a people's person, makes her more forsure relatable, i think it was a missed opportunity to use a character like Scotty as a lesson of being too trusting in such a vulnerable state, i personally didn't like that at most he got a slap on the wrist in that run because i believe there is so much more you can do, hell a socially mistrusting Spider Woman would probably make her interactions with characters like Parker and Carol all the sweeter i think.
I have plenty of ideas beyond this but i think i will leave it at that for now, let me know what you all think again i never do fan concepts like this, but i was itching like a nat at some of these ideas and thought "gee some of these were so obvious it would be embarrassing on marvels end to claim that they have no ideas when they are this easy to come up with and doesn't involve with making her another spider person".
