10 Underappreciated Marvel Superheroes Who Deserve Their Own Movies

10. Spider-Woman

Introduced in Marvel Spotlight #32 back in 1977, Jessica Drew was originally a private investigator who eventually developed the persona – Spider-Woman – when she joined the crime-fighting business, having been injected with a genetically engineered venom by her father. Jessica is capable of producing the venom herself, attacking her opponent’s central nervous system, as well as producing a powerful pheromone which can incapacitate her adversaries.

Marvel have introduced numerous Spider-Women over the years, however, Jessica Drew is easily the most interesting iteration. She’s relatable – abandoned as an infant, constantly exploited and constantly questioning her humanity – having been mentally conditioned and raised by Hydra, before escaping the organisation and forming her own destiny as a downtrodden crime-fighter in NYC.
