*While living in Denver she ran into her former college friend Val Cooper who asked her to participate in an 'athletic study.'*The study turns out to be more of an experiment and Julia is the guinea pig. The scientists inject her with a mix of spider toxin and plant extracts which have the side effect of giving her powers.
*With these new powers and much convincing from Val, she does some work for the government, working along side a variety of independent heroes, including Spider-Man.

Personality

Morals - Julia has a strong sense of what is right and wrong and realizes that the legal system doesn't always get it right. In some cases she is willing to look the other way if someone is doing wrong for the right reasons, she might give them a warning, and scare them a bit, but that is all. In a majority of cases though, if she sees someone breaking the law she will make sure they are stopped, especially if they are putting others in danger.

Justice - She also has a strong sense of justice and feels people should get what is coming to them. She doesn't care where the justice is coming from be it be from the legal system, the cosmos in the form of karma, or her. She especially likes it when she is the one dealing out justice.

Protective - Like a mama bear, Julia is very protective of what is hers, family, friends, potential teammates and will step up to defend them with as much force as needed.

Confidence - Or lack thereof to be more precise. One would expect that someone of Julia's experience and abilities would have confidence coming out her ears, but that simply isn't the case. She is often second guessing herself when it comes to her actions and decisions, especially when it comes to relationships be it just friendships or other wise.

Powers

SUPER STUFF: Due to the experimentation on Julia she has gained a number of superhuman physical abilities. Instead of spamming with individual attributes I will just detail them in one.
*Strength - Julia is able to press upwards on 10 tons with little effort, over that is a strain.
*Speed - For short distances (a few miles at most) Julia can run upwards of 20 miles MPH (the human avg is 10 mph, for a world class runner 16 mph.)
*Stamina - Julia's muscle produce less muscle fatiguing toxins that normal. This allows her to go for several hours at peak physical activity without feeling the effects of muscle strain or fatigue.
*Agility - Julia's agility is off the human charts and is well into the superhuman. She is easily equal to Spider-Man in this area and in her mind surpasses him.
*Durability - Julia's muscles and body in general are more dense than the average human, this makes her resitant to injury. Damage that could take a normal person out for the count would hurt, yes, but she would still be fighting.
*Healing - Julia has an accelerated healing factor. It isn't on par with Wolverine but it is enough that she can heal serious wounds in a manner of days/weeks instead of the weeks/months it would take the normal human to heal the same wound.
*Touch - Like a spider Julia is very sensitive to vibrations, enough so that if she were walking across a steel floor she could tell if there were a hollow space below it. This makes it quite hard to sneak up on her (in certain situations) since she would feel the vibrations of footsteps through the surface.

WALL CRAWLING: An extension of her ability to create psionic based webs, this allows her to form these webs on parts of her body/clothing to allow her to cling to any surface. With this she can scale up vertical surfaces and upside down on horizontal ones (ceilings). With the tensile strength capable of holding up to 10 tons it would take someone pretty strong to pull her off. She can also use this to adhere other people and objects to things as well.

PSIONIC WEBBING: Julia is able to create psionic-based webbing that she can use in the same manner of Spider-Man. This web has the material strength of 80 tons and is capable of restraining up to 10 tons of force. The most she can cast without loosing any effective strength is 15 feet (diameter). It looses tensile strength and restraining strength the bigger it gets. A thirty foot web would be at half strengh (40/5) and reducing by half with each 15 feet bigger she goes with it. Because her web is psionic in nature most cutting techniques as well as any number of things that would destroy Spider-Man's webbing would not work on hers, though if a person is strong enough they can be pulled apart and they disappear if she is knocked unconsious. She can create the webs over a line of sight distance, so it doesn't have to begin at her, she can also move the webs around from a distance similar to a telekinsis. When they are no longer needed she can also make them disappear instantly at will.

Distinctions

Potential Resources

Specialities

Flaws

SECRET INDENTITY: Juila prefers to keep her real life and her superhero life separate as possible so has kept the Spider-Woman indentity so she can do that. Those that need to know do, Val Cooper for instance, but no one else.

FAMILY: Rachel Carpenter is Julia's only daughter, and like any mother she will protect Rachel with her life. Rachel is the one reason that Julia sticks with a secret indentity, it is to protect her child because she knows that most enemies wouldn't think twice about using her daughter against her. Oh she has an ex-husband too, and yeah sure she would protect him if necessary, for her daughter's sake.

ENEMIES: If you are a hero and you don't have enemies then you are doing it wrong. And Julia has her far share of them, most of them powerful in some way or other..some are even good guys. Heros she went after while in Freedom Force that didn't quite forgive her, but at least they just tend to avoid her and don't try to exterminate if they run into her during the course of duty. If her enemies were to find out who she really is then it is not only her life on the line, but that of her family as well.
