Background

Jessica is Ye Li's sister and Gwen Stacy's best friend. She initially plans to create a Ghost-Spider fan club after learning that Gwen admires Ghost-Spider, unaware of Gwen's secret identity at the time. The club begins as an enthusiast project but gradually develops toward a superhero organization under Jessica's ambition and Ye Li's support. 6 17 23

She adopts the identity Knightress during an early confrontation with Rhino. Despite her inexperience and an embarrassing loss of her mask, she establishes herself as a superhuman ally to Ghost-Spider. 12

As Knightress gains public recognition, Jessica wants the club to represent more than Ghost-Spider alone. Her proposal leads to the Ghost-Spider Fan Club expanding into a broader organization for female heroes. 23 61

Jessica later opens a detective agency in Hell's Kitchen, using it as a cover to gather intelligence for her activities as Knightress. She conducts investigations alongside Ye Li and, at times, recruits Matilda as her assistant. 68 160 161
