1. She's in a band.

In Gwen's universe, she's in a band called "The Mary Jane's" for which she is the drummer.

2. She saves her own father. 

Gwen's father is the NYPD police chief and has an assassin sent after him. Gwen rescues him even though the NYPD is against her and blames her for the death of her classmate, Peter Parker.

3. She learned how to fight from watching movies. 

In the comics Gwen is not trained in fighting, she is said to have picked up her skills from watching Kung Fu films.

4. Her best crime-fighting tool is that she’s clever.

Since Gwen's father is a detective, she learns a lot about the law and crime fighting from him. She's smart and creative and knows her way around a crime scene almost as well as the chief of police does.

5. She's tough physically and emotionally. 

In Gwen's universe, her "uncle Ben" moment or defining moment in her backstory is the death of her best friend, Peter Parker. Not only does he die, but she is forced to fight him as her first super villain as spider-woman. In the "into the Spider-Verse film," she is then forced to relive a second death of Peter Parker, as she is the first of the spider people to make landfall in Brooklyn.

She is then faced with Peter B. Parker showing up afterward and ends up having to work closely with him for the duration of the film's plot. It probably wasn't easy for her to have to work alongside a constant reminder of the worst thing to ever happen to her, but it never shows. She is consistently cool and bold, never wavering and always getting back up.
