Biography[]

Little is known about the early life of Julia. At some point she was married and had a daughter she named Rachel, though she ended the relationship with a unamicable divorce, decrying her ex-husband as a "dork" and greatly straining her relationship with her daughter.

She went to work at Stark Enterprises as Julia and joined Force Works as Spider-Woman. She had a crush on Tony Stark, the leader of both organizations. However, she was constantly fighting with Scarlet Witch, who also had a crush on him. Force Works spent its time foiling the crimes of The Hand.

When Mandarin discovered Tony's identity, he chose to cover his duality with a marriage to Julia, much to the chagrin of Wanda. However, the Tony was actually a Life Model Decoy. When The Hand attacked, Iron Man appeared and saved "Tony" and Julia. With the ruse a success, Julia was upset that she did not really marry him.

After Tony faked his death, Force Works disbanded. Julia and War Machine remained loyal and stayed with Tony. During this time, Tony and Julia began pursuing a real relationship.

During the Armor Wars, Julia begged him to stop. However, Tony continued.

She was captured by Madame Masque who threatened to kill her in order to get Tony's compliance.

When looking into the missing rings of Mandarin, Julia was accidentally sent back in time. Iron Man and Hulk followed in order to rescue her.

After Mandarin reappeared, Force Works came back to help. After the villain was apparently killed, Julia and Tony finally kissed.
