A transgender Spider-Man would certainly be a bold departure from the comics but no, the Spider-Woman were talking about here is a popular Marvel character in her own right. Jessica Drew was given an experimental serum as a child which cured her of a dangerous illness, but also gave her (sort of) spider-related powers including flight, strength and the ability to shoot electricity from her hands. Tenuous links to one of the most popular heroes of all time certainly wouldnt hurt Spider-Womans chances, although Drews association with both SHIELD and the Avengers would prevent her from appearing with Spider-Man on the big screen, due to issues of studio ownership. Should Be Played By: Kate Beckinsale Sure, she may not be the most talented actress of all time but Kate Beckinsale definitely has the right look and could convince as a super heroine who produces pheromones to attract and manipulate the opposite sex.
