Spider-Bitch (Ashley Barton)

Ashley Barton as Spider-Bitch by [[Steve McNiven]], [[Dexter Vines]], and Morry Hollowell. Spider-Bitch (Ashley Barton) is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven, the character first appeared in ''Wolverine'' #67 (September 2008). She is the estranged daughter of Peter Parker / Spider-Man's youngest daughter Tonya and Clint Barton / Hawkeye, and the stepdaughter of Tonya's husband Ultron 8, from the alternate-future of Earth-807128/21923, in which the supervillains overthrew the superheroes three decades earlier. Having no superpowers, after being saved from execution by her estranged father and Old Man Logan in 2008's ''Old Man Logan'' storyline, Spider-Bitch kills the current Kingpin of Crime, succeeding him as the Kingpin of the Wastelands, revealing her true villainous nature, before unsuccessfully attempting to kill her father and Logan.

While usually portrayed as a supervillain, Spider-Bitch has also been occasionally depicted as a conflicted antihero. In the 2014–15 "Spider-Verse" storyline, set after ''Old Man Logan'', Spider-Bitch is among the first recruited to a resistance movement against the Inheritors' consumption of Spider-People across the Spider-Verse by the Superior Spider-Man, Otto Octavius, to devise a plan to kill them all; in the aftermath of the conflict, Spider-Bitch continues to explore the multiverse, assisting various teams of Spider-People while funnelling resources back to her home dimension until the 2018 ''Spider-Geddon'' storyline and ''Spider-Force'' miniseries, following which she returns to her reality, seven years having passed, and reclaims her throne from Taskmaster in 2019's ''Old Man Quill'' storyline, continuing her plans to take over the world.

Receiving a generally positive critical reception, the character was adapted to the 2021 radio drama podcast series ''Marvel's Wastelanders'' as Ash Morse / King Zemo, voiced by Sasha Lane, and made her cinematic debut in the 2023 feature film ''Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse'', referred to as Ashley / Spider-Kingpin, a member of Miguel O'Hara's Spider-Society.
