- Spider-Bitch (Ashley Barton; colloquial: "Spider-Woman" or "Spider-Girl") is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven, she is the estranged daughter of Peter Parker / Spider-Man's youngest daughter Tonya and Clint Barton / Hawkeye, and the stepdaughter of Tonya's husband Ultron-8, from the alternate-future of Earth-807128/21923, in which the supervillains overthrew the superheroes three decades earlier. After being saved from execution by her estranged father and Old Man Logan in 2008's Old Man Logan storyline, Spider-Bitch kills the current Kingpin of Crime, succeeding him as the Kingpin of the Wastelands, revealing her true villainous nature, before unsuccessfully attempting to kill her father and Logan. While usually portrayed as a supervillain, Spider-Bitch has also been occasionally depicted as a conflicted antihero. In the 2014–15 "Spider-Verse" storyline, Spider-Bitch is subsequently among the first recruited to a resistance movement against the Inheritors' consumption of Spider-People across the Spider-Verse by the Superior Spider-Man, Otto Octavius, in order to devise a plan to kill them all; in the aftermath of the conflict, Spider-Bitch continues to explore the multiverse, assisting various teams of Spider-People while funnelling resources back to her home dimension until the 2018 Spider-Geddon storyline and Spider-Force miniseries, following which she returns to her reality, seven years having passed, and reclaims her throne from Taskmaster in 2019's Old Man Quill storyline, continuing her plans to take over the world. Due to the child-oriented storylines of the character's initial appearances post-Old Man Logan, she is alternately referred to as "Spider-Woman" or "Spider-Girl" due to censorship in text box descriptions, referring to herself as "the Spider-B****" in dialogue. Despite her get-up, Spider-Bitch did not inherit her grandfather's powers or abilities, only acquiring a cold and calculating personality and corrupted moral code from being raised in the Wastelands, aiding her rise to power, which is mellowed out in the company of other Spider-People, and a peak human strength from training. Spider-Bitch was met with positive reviews from critics, with them lauding her name, design, and character. For promotion, several other versions of the character were developed, accompanied by merchandise. She was also featured in the radio drama podcast series Marvel's Wastelanders as Ash Morse / King Zemo, voiced by Sasha Lane, and in multiple video games as a playable character. (en)
