Ultimate Spider-Woman (colloquial: Jessica Drew, Julia Carpenter, Black Widow or Spider-Girl) is a superheroine appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley, she is the Ultimate Marvel equivalent of Ben Reilly and both iterations of Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew and Julia Carpenter). As opposed to her prime counterparts, this character is a female clone of Earth-1610's Peter Parker, dealing with being the brain of a teenage boy trapped in the body of a teenage girl. In 2014 and 2019, the character's red-and-white costume and characterisation as a secret agent relative of Peter Parker were respectively adapted as his Earth-616 sister Teresa Parker and Earth-19529 daughter Claire Parker.
The character received a positive critical reception. In 2023, the character made their cinematic debut in the animated feature film Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse as a member of Miguel O'Hara's Spider-Society.
