She was open minded, being calm when meeting an alternate Peter and learning of other worlds. Gwen was initially secretive of her activities to her father but happy to see him accept her after he was informed.
History
A native of Miles Morales' dimension, Gwen Stacy assumed the role of Spider-Woman after the Ultimate Spider-Man Spider-Man was transported to the main universe. Using technology stolen from her father's robot program and with the help of Ultimate May Parker, Gwen became a superhero in the Ultimate Spider-Man's absence by simulating spider powers despite having no spider powers of her own. However, due to her activity, she also had to deal with her father's pursuit of vigilantes.
Season 4: Ultimate Spider-Man vs The Sinister 6
Return to the Spider-Verse: Part 4
When Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid (a new spider name for Miles Morales) were sent to recover the shards of the destroyed Siege Perilous, they enter into the Vampire Universe, the Pirate Universe, Wild West Universe, the Noir Universe before heading to the Ultimate Universe. Just as Miles is celebrating on returning to his dimension, he and Spider-Man see Spider-Woman fleeing from the police. Believing that she is a thief, they also chase her. After cornering her in an alleyway, she is surprised to see Spider-Man and that Kid Arachnid much to the latter's confusion of her knowing them but Spider-Man still believes that she's a thief. She reveals her name, that she's trying to be a hero like them and that she stopped a robbery and hasn't returned the money yet. They are then surrounded by the police and Spider-Man sarcastically tells her to return the money and tell the truth. After Captain Stacy demands that they surrender, they are confronted by the police's robots with Kid Arachnid pointing out that the robots did not exist when he was around. Spider-Woman then reveals that the police captain is her father until the robots attack them. Spider-Man admits that her father is hard core until Spider-Woman reveals that it's not his fault and ever since Kid Arachnid disappeared, the criminals got bolder and some of them masquerading as good guys and so the police and to respond. After Ultimate Aunt May reveals where the robots' weakness is, Spider-Woman, Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid defeat the robots and escape into the sewers. Kid Arachnid asks if it really is his universe and Spider-Woman confirms it and is happy that he's back. She reveals that she was best friends with the Peter Parker who died but she and Miles have never met. She reveals that she found out who he was through some intense investigation and when he disappeared, she couldn't stand on the sidelines and that the world needs a spider.
She later learns of their mission to save the multi-verse from colliding by finding pieces of the siege perilous. Gwen helps them recover the remaining Siege Perilous piece, which was at the police station. Gwen goes to visit her father in order to distract him while Peter and Miles recover the piece. However, this fails when Wolf Spider attacks the station and soon takes Rio Morales but they were able to detain him and retreat with the completed Siege.
However, Wolf Spider would attack Miles' home, while revealing himself as an evil version of Peter Parker who intends to enslave the multi-verse. Wolf then steals the siege perilous, while leaving a trail of destruction for them to follow.
Gwen, Peter, and Miles confront Wolf Spider in his underwater lair. They then see that Wolf Spider has used the Siege Perilous to drain the life-force of every spider-based character in the multiverse. During the battle, Miles and Gwen are claimed in the process, while Peter permits Wolf Spider into claiming his life. Once Peter is taken to the world where the Spider people are held, Gwen questions him on letting the villain win. However, Peter reveals this was a trick because he knew holding all the life-forces at once proves to be too much for Wolf Spider to handle.
Wolf-Spider soon shatters, allowing the life-forces to return to their bodies. Gwen watches Peter’s counterparts thank him for the rescue and understand why the Multiverse revolves around him.
The three Spiders then leave the lair but run into Gwen's father who learned of his daughter's superhero life after speaking with Rio. George accepts Gwen's role and the two then reconcile.

Trivia
- Spider-Gwen was planned to be released as a figurine for the game Disney INFINITY 3.0 prior to being cancelled.
- This is Dove Cameron's s second animated role and the first being as Mal in Descendants: Wicked World.
- The primary version of Gwen Stacy in the Marvel Comics was the college girlfriend of Peter Parker who was tragically killed during a battle between Spider-Man and the Green Goblin and her death is one of the most iconic moments in comic book history.
- Although this is the first time that Gwen Stacy's superhero persona of "Spider-Gwen" has been featured in any media (and this is the first media that introduces her-exclusively as Spider-Gwen), Gwen Stacy has appeared in animation before in Spider-Man: The Animated Series and Spectacular Spider-Man, and in the live-action movies Spider-Man 3, The Amazing Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man 2, where she was played by Bryce Dallas Howard and Emma Stone respectively.
- Contrast to the show's incarnation, the Spider-Gwen in the comics has spider powers and was the spider-themed superhero of her own dimension rather than being from the same dimension as Miles. Her version of Peter Parker briefly became the supervillain known as the Lizard before he died after his battle with her, inspiring her to become a hero.
