In one alternate universe a certain radioactive spider bit one of Peter Parker's classmates instead: the policeman's daughter and one of comicdom's great tragic figures, Gwen Stacy, who in a few scant panels of the recent hit comic Edge of Spider-Verse #2 learned her own lessons about power and responsibility while trying to make it big as the drummer in an up-and-coming band: The Mary Janes.

In another alternate universe (hint: ours)>/i> a real band known as Married With Sea Monsters gets inspired by the look and the idea of Spider-Gwen and The Mary-Janes, takes on that name 'as a disguise' and records the fictional band’s breakout hit, ''Face It Tiger,'' to the delight of comic book and indie rock fans worldwide. The Texas-based rock band are no strangers to comic book-based tunes. Last year, they teamed up with artist Robbi Rodriguez to do the soundtrack LP to Rodriguez's webcomic Frankie Get Your Gun.
