"Spider-Gwen Fans Get the Ultimate TV Surprise"
According to IGN, fan favorite comic character Spider-Gwen will be featured on the season finale Disney XD's Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon series in September. This debut will be the first time the character has appeared on a Marvel television series, in either animated or live action form. Fans of Ultimate Spider-Man will not only be treated to Spider-Gwen, but many other popular and well-known characters will appear in the final episodes of the season as well. The final four episodes will make up a four-part series finale called "Return of the Spider-Verse." The Spider-Verse are stories that feature versions of Spider-Man from many different alternative universes. Spider-Gwen 2 Spider-Gwen is an alternative universe version of Spider-Man, where female friend Gwen Stacy fights crime as a version of the well-known super hero. On this alternative world, instead of Peter Parker being bitten by the radioactive spider that gave him his amazing abilities, Gwen Stacy was and instead becomes a Spider-Woman - affectionately known by fans as Spider-Gwen. The character, created by Jason Latour and Robbi Rodriguez, first appeared in Edge of Spider-Verse #2  in 2014, and has since landed her own series based on immense popularity by comic book fans. Spider-Gwen will be voiced by Dove Cameron (Liv and Maddie, Descendants) in the series. Who are some of the other Spider-Verse heroes you can expect to see in the Ultimate Spider-Man finale? IGN also reported exclusively that fans can expect to see Blood Spider and Spider-Ham (both voiced by Ben Diskin) in addition to the Miles Morales version of Spider-Man (voiced by Ogie Banks) and Wolf Spider (voiced by Christopher Daniel Barnes.)
