way before she got replaced by the Skrull queen, Jessica Drew a.k.a. the original Spider-Woman, has been on the side of the good guys (most of the time anyway, at least perception-wise), and she does kick a lot of bad-guy ass (most of the time anyway).
a few exceptions include this one when she was still a brainwashed Hydra soldier and gives the S.H.I.E.L.D. boys a good whuppin' on the way to meeting her future boss, Nick Fury, for the first time.
note this kung fu move combined with her vaunted "venom blasts".
having learned the hard way that she was a product of genetic testing by her psycho pop funded by Hydra, she lashes back at them the best way she knows. i would.
i wonder how these guys would deal being beat up by a girl later. i mean, they probably organized an ACA - Asskicked by a Chick Anonymous.
members would be those who survive and can still walk and talk after say, six months of rehab.
aside from being betrayed by her dad, Jessica was also betrayed by a one-time lover, Jared, who made her think Hydra was a humanitarian agency who distributed relief goods and took down terrorist groups. learning the truth made her see red. that, and finding out that Jared was really a fat bastard
before he became the Subway mascot.
another thing Jessica hated apart from being lied to, is being cloned. too bad, clones don't really come close to the original. ask
Michael Keaton.
one of her early mentors was the morally ambiguous (sometimes) Taskmaster, and she pretty much gave him as good as she got.
wait, it gets better, when she encounters him years later, out of costume, and on the side of the angels.
giving a "jolt" to about 50 guys
at the same time uhm, ... seems to be some kind of record.
let's see if in
Secret Invasion, the Skrull Jessica gets to kick as much superhero ass before she finally gets taken down.
