Celeste O’Connor as Mattie Franklin/Spider-Woman
Not a single Jessica Drew in sight here, but we’re onto our third Spider-Woman. Martha “Mattie” Franklin is the niece of J. Jonah Jameson, and first crossed paths with Cassandra Webb during the Gathering of the Five, a secretive ancient ritual meant to grant its participants promises of great power or immortality… or death. Mattie was given granted the gift of Power during the ritual, giving her superhuman strength and flight.
Obsessed with Spider-Man, she first impersonated him and then, with Jessica Drew’s blessings, took the Spider-Woman mantle when she, Julia, and Jessica were targeted by the fourth Spider-Woman (in this case more literally a Spider-Woman, the product of DNA manipulation by Doc Ock), Charlotte Witter, the granddaughter of Cassandra Webb. Mattie largely slid into obscurity after this storyline—briefly appearing in Alias as part of a sinister plot to harvest the drug Mutant Growth Hormone from her body—and then perished alongside Cassandra Webb during the events of Grim Hunt.
