Jessica Drew “Spider-Woman”
Here’s a fun fact, Jessica Drew has no real relation to Spider-Man. They weren’t bitten by the same spider or even born in the same area. Their only connection is the spider-totem that connects the spiders across the multiverse. That is connection enough. Plus, Jessica Drew wasn’t always a nice person. She was once an agent of Hydra. And if S.H.I.E.L.D. is coming back at some point, she could be used as a way to spy on Peter Parker for Nick Fury. On top of that, Jessica’s pheromone powers are an easy way to manipulate Peter.
Karla Sofen “MoonStone”
Karla Sofen is one of the most deplorable characters in comic books. She’s manipulative, cruel, and uses all of her beauty and smarts to get what she wants. In other words, she’s perfect. Sofen is a psychiatrist that used her influence on her patients to do all sorts of horrible things. And this was before she got her powers. With Peter having the issues he does, it would be easy for her to manipulate him. It could be as the school counselor or as Moonstone. She is also the perfect villain for Spider-Man. Her super strength, near invulnerability, and ability to make herself intangible gives Spider-Man an antagonist that he can’t defeat with physical attacks. He’ll have to use that genius brain that Tony Stark says he uses, “too infrequently.”

Whatever amazing femme fatale that Marvel chooses, it’s going to be great. The obvious choice Black Cat. She is the most recognizable female in Peter’s life besides Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane Watson. Even though it’s an easy choice, there are other women that could be used. Silver Sable, Black Widow, and Enchantress are a few. I guess we will have to wait and see who it is that Marvel chooses.
