As a domain expert in comic book lore, I can provide you with an accurate account of how Gwen Stacy becomes Spider-Gwen.

Gwen Stacy's transformation into Spider-Gwen is a unique take on the Spider-Man mythos, which was introduced in the alternate universe known as Earth-65. Here's how it happens:


1. The Incident: In her universe, Peter Parker is the one who becomes the Lizard, not Spider-Man, after an experiment goes wrong.

2. The Experiment: Gwen Stacy, a teenager from Earth-65, is bitten by a radioactive spider that was intended to help her sick father. This spider was part of an experiment conducted by her father, George Stacy, who is the police captain.

3. The Transformation: The bite from the radioactive spider grants Gwen superhuman abilities, including wall-crawling, enhanced strength, agility, and a heightened "spider-sense" that warns her of danger.

4. The Costume: After discovering her powers, Gwen designs a costume to protect her identity and becomes a vigilante.

5. The Name: She adopts the moniker "Spider-Woman" at first but is later known as Spider-Gwen due to the influence of the Mary Jane Watson of her universe, who suggests the name as a way to differentiate her from other Spider-People.
