Fan Art Of Transgender Peter Parker 'Petra Parker' Goes Viral On Reddit And Twitter

Petra Parker or Spider-Woman, sometimes known as Spinstress, is an alternate-universe, gender-swapped female version of Peter Parker, Spider-Man. She is often depicted online as being a transgender version of Peter Parker, although this is not canon to her established character. Petra is arguably best known for her Ultimate Spider-Man appearance, in which she is from Earth-TRN454, a gender-swapped version of Earth-TRN123, the main universe in the Ultimate Spider-Man franchise. In this franchise, she appears with short brown hair. Another version of Petra Parker also exists in the Spider-Verse franchise. In this franchise, she is the daughter of Queen Mysteria, a gender-swapped version of Mysterio, and is known as the superhero Spinstress. In mid-August 2026, fan art of Petra Parker, typically based on her Ultimate Spider-Man design, experienced a surge in popularity on the /r/Spiderman subreddit and X / Twitter. Much of this fan art claims that she is transitioning and only references the design of Ultimate Spider-Man Petra Parker, but none of the established canon.
