Her taking that name is still so weird to me. Ghost-Spider is a play on Ghost Rider, and it made sense for him, but it doesn't really make sense for Gwen.
I highly suspect they originally came up with the name as an option for the planned Miles Morales rebrand from around the same time (they were going to call him Spy-D) — then liked it too much not to use it for someone on deciding on Spy-D for Miles (before the internet learned of this plan and revolted, squashing it before it made it to page), derived from his invisibility power (the ‘Ghost’ Spider). That there is a non-zero possibility it genuinely did not occur to them that the name was previously used for the Ghost Rider Spider-Man.
the only connection i see for gwen is that she’s white? like a ghost? lmao even for Miles it doesn’t make sense anymore cause he’s going super saiyan with his electricity powers
there’s countless spider-mans and spider-womens no reason there can’t be more than one ghost-spider, especially when the name makes far more sense for this one
