Gwen Stacy becomes Spider-Gwen in *The Amazing Spider-Man 3* and helps defeat Agent Venom. Dr. Lyla Bennett, now leading Curt Connors' clone tech post-*TASM 1*, blames Spider-Man for her husband's Sinister Six-related death, intensifying her cloning experiments. Clones, including one of Peter Parker, begin haunting Gwen, leading to chaotic encounters. During a date, an explosion at Gwen's apartment results in Peter's death by an incendiary bullet. In her grief, Gwen nearly kills former police chief Stan Carter but is stopped by another Spider-Man, her emotional outburst causing a destructive shockwave. She finds her father at a lab, where he tries to kill her for her own good, but she webs him up. Gwen faces clones of friends, including MJ in a dark Spider-Woman suit, who taunts her about Peter's death, only for Gwen's father to reveal Aunt May's body, pushing Gwen into darkness. This was all a test by Lyla for the Spider-Man 2099 group; Gwen, nearly broken, saves Peter from an inferno and defeats Lyla.
