I remember watching this as a kid…but I don't remember her web swinging…she's not supposed to LOL! I loved this cartoon simply cause it was a comic book character I could see on Saturday morning! Even then I hated the Wonder Woman-type spin to transform.
She had more powers than Spiderman,yet no one caught on.Goes to show you how women superheros do not favor over men!!Okay,that was bad.I'll shut up now.
@thepokekid01 She exists in Marvel comics. The flying is more like gliding, via her bioelectric field and the "lasers" are a bio pulse she can use to stun.
Of course they're not going to explain that in a kids cartoon from 1979 though.
I love Retro Greatness from the 60s all the way to the early 90s. After 1996 its like creativity just took a down turn in all things animation, movies, TV shows, and music.
However , the one thing I wish would have been different is that all the shows would have NOT had all characters working for a paper, magazine, or TV network. It's like people in the industry were so fixated on themselves they could not create a character that did not work in their industry :)
I can understand Spider Woman flying, and I was a little confused about her spinning webs (I mean seriously, why swing on webs if you can fly? Well maybe using web power for fighting but here comes the last and most important question...) HOW THE HELL DOES SHOOTING LASERS OUT OF YOUR HAND RELATE ANYTHING TO SPIDER POWERS??? O_O;;
@leadeye2 The original Spider Woman had something called Venom Blasts. They were bio-electric shots that came from her hands.
This power had nothing to do with spiders. MARVEL wanted Jessica Drew to be as far away from Peter Parker and Spider Man as possible. They wanted her to be unique as possible.
Frankly, creating this character was a big mistake.
@TopHatSaur , Spider=Woman was made by Marvel comics. no it was not a rip off of Spider-man. she is a pretty cool character. i like d the character just as much as Spider-man.
@TopHatSaur She was created by Marvel to ensure they controlled the copyright. At the time there were a number of female spin-offs, especially in television (think of the Bionic Woman) and Marvel wanted to ensure they owned the rights to any such character. She-Hulk was created around the same time for much the same reason.
@jayce79 , she is slightly different from Spider-man, She she does cling to walls and uses webs like Spider-man. But she all so glides thru the air just some Real spiders use the air currents to glide thru the air useing their webs. I'm not sure where the energy blast comes from since Real spiders don't do that.
This Spider-Women was the best. the costume was cool and she had one extra power that Spider-man didn't have.. that energy blast at 0:48 plus they barrowed from the WonderWomen TV show with her spining to change into her Costume.
God-dam Sexual rights movement!! bring back the days where the men saved the day and woman drank in secret !!! lol .. id fuck spider woman as well as wonder woman and supergirl

@emean5 Marvel debuted Spider-Woman in 1977 in their Marvel Spotlight comic. So dont worry, pal. Spider-Woman really isn't a Spider-Man rip off.

The guy who created all those sound effects that became standard in the 70's and 80's must be rich right now.

@leadeye2 In the comics it's described as a bio-chemical "sting". Yeah, it's still pretty weak, but it's not really "lasers".

If you took the time to google this series, it came out in 1979. Cartoons of that era where kind of "Cheesy" to put it mildly.
It did pave the way for Spider man to get a new show in 1981, then again in 1982 came Spider-man and his Amazing Friends.
