Gwenpool

Gwenpool (Gwendolyn "Gwen" Poole; colloquial: "GwenPool") is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Marvel initially produced two stories featuring Gwenpool, a girl from the real world transported to the Marvel Universe. The character, created by Christopher Hastings, Heather Antos and Jordan D. White, first appeared in a backup story in Howard the Duck, and a one-shot Gwenpool Holiday Special, illustrated by Gurihiru. Following the publication of the one-shot, an ongoing series titled The Unbelievable Gwenpool by the same creative team was announced, illustrated by Gurihiru (with Irene Strychalski), which started in April 2016 and concluded in April 2018. The Unbelievable Gwenpool #0, collecting Gwen's appearances from Howard the Duck and the first Gwenpool Holiday Special, was later released, as well as the limited series Gwenpool Strikes Back, Aromancing of Gwendolyn Poole, the final volume of Spider-Man/Deadpool, and Gwenpool (2025). In West Coast Avengers, Gwen is depicted as the owner/mother of Jeff the Land Shark, appearing alongside him in the spin-off series ''It's Jeff! from its second season onwards. The nemesis of the supervillain MODOK, Gwen faces off against him in The Unbelievable Gwenpool, West Coast Avengers, and MODOK: Head Games.

The story arc Beyond the Fourth Wall introduces an evil future version of Gwen as the archenemy of Miles Morales, later featured as the main antagonist of the video game Marvel Duel, of which Gwen also serves as the protagonist, and as a playable character in Marvel Contest of Champions, Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2, and Fortnite.
