Whilst in high school, Gwen was one day hanging out with her friend Harry at his house. During this time, she was worried about her mother’s poor health and Harry consoled her. They were interrupted by Norman Osborn, who pretended to be sympathetic to her. Harry thanked his father for being kind and Norman replied that he was not talking to him. Harry took Gwen to a party of a former classmate of his and he left her alone. She was approached by Sterling Bock, a member of a wealthy family. She declined him several times until he grabbed her and she told him her father was a cop. Her dad had taught her self-defense and she knocked Sterling into the food table. The party goers applauded her, just before the party was interrupted by the red-skinned monstrous Proto-Goblin. They tried to run but Harry was grabbed by the creature and carried away. Harry was saved by a very young Spider-Man and made his way to the street. Gwen showed up while calling the police as Proto Goblin beat the stuffing out of Spider-Man. The police arrived at the scene thus forcing the Proto-Goblin to flee from the area.

(Amazing Spider-Man v1 #64)
Death
While waiting for Peter in his apartment, Gwen was ambushed by the Green Goblin. He would bring the unconscious Gwen to the Brooklyn Bridge. Spider-Man later arrived to fight the Goblin. However, Spider-Man was sick and thus not performing at his normal level. (Amazing Spider-Man v1 #121)
Spider-Man caught her by a leg with a string of web. The sudden stop in midair snapped Gwen's neck, making it difficult for her to breathe. (Amazing Spider-Man v1 #121)
Legacy
After Gwen’s death, a mad Harry Osborn created clones called Gabriel and Sarah Stacy from the DNA of Norman and Gwen. This was with the intention of making his father and best friend believe Norman and Gwen had twin children together. To sell the scheme, Mary Jane Watson was hypnotized by Mysterio to believe the same. However, though Peter was devastated to think of Gwen cheating on him with Norman, in actuality this had never happened. Once Harry died, an A.I. of him controlled by Mephisto took over the cloning process of the twins, whose clone degeneration caused them to die over and over, and every time Mephisto would torture them in hell before sending them back resurrected with new bodies. Eventually the twins absorbed the A.I.’s consciousness and began tormenting Peter in the guise of Harry, all the while believing Gwen was their mother and believing the motivations of hate the Harry A.I. held for Peter. (Amazing Spider-Man v5 #74)
Following Gwen's death, Professor Miles Warren snapped as his obsession with her led to him grieving over her demise and blaming Peter Parker for her death. After learning the secrets of cloning, he decided to become a costume supervillain called the Jackal where he planned an elaborate revenge against Parker. In this time, he came to clone Gwen Stacy where this copy lacked the last few memories of the original. The Jackal spent the next few months using hypnosis to awaken her memories and educate her on the world as well as making her obey his commands. In addition, he began growing a clone of Parker to be used as part of his revenge against Spider-Man. (Amazing Spider-Man v1 #149)
A new clone of Gwen Stacy was created years later by the new Jackal. The Jackal's new cloning technique allowed for the clone to possess all of the memories of the real Gwen up to the point of her death, which convinced both of them that the clone was in fact the real Gwen Stacy brought back from the dead. Unfortunately, this new cloning technique afflicted all of its subjects with cellular decay, which was prevented with the daily consumption of a pill. (Clone Conspiracy v1 #1) This new Jackal turned out to be the clone of Peter Parker known as Ben Reilly. (Clone Conspiracy v1 #3) Gwen noticed the similarities between him and Peter even though he used a voice modulator to hide his identity. She went along with his plan to extend the reach of his new cloning technology for a better world since she saw some of Peter Parker within Ben. (Amazing Spider-Man v4 #23) In order to investigate the Jackal's new enterprise, New U Technologies, an alternate reality spider-powered version of Gwen known as Spider-Woman kidnapped the cloned Gwen and impersonated her. (Amazing Spider-Man v4 #21) The cloned Gwen was kept hostage by the Scarlet Spider Kaine. (Clone Conspiracy v1 #2) The cloned Gwen returned to New U after the impostor was outed. (Clone Conspiracy v1 #3)
The corpse of Gwen Stacy along with the remains of others who had died in Peter Parkers life were all dug up by Kindred as part of his elaborate plan to torment Spider-Man. (Amazing Spider-Man v5 #50)
