Yes, part of the Ultimate Clone saga, one of the various clones of Peter had their Y changed to an X... which one would imagine would fairly significantly change one's genetic code to the point you're not technically a clone but what else are you going to call her.

She actually has all of Peter's memories and was artifically aged to his age... even though genetics don't work that way. Anyway after the Clone Saga she struck out on her own.

Johnny Storm has a crush on her, but doesn't know she's Pete's clone.

... Jonny Storm having a crush on female!Pete is quite possibly one of the most hilarious things I've heard in a while.

[arilou_skiff]

Yes. Yes it is.

Have you seen the MAFF picture of Johnny sleeping clutching a Spider-Man doll?

On Spidey sheets.

In Spidey pajamas.

Sucking his thumb.

Fred van Lent and Clay Mann. What a combination.

:D Scans or it didn't happen.

I just found it this morning actually. It's at the end of the first story in MAFF Volume 6, so that would be issue *gets up and looks* #21, page 21, the next-to-last panel. Johnny posted an embarrassing picture of Ben online, and Ben retaliated.

I'm not sure I can scan it, but you can ask for it next request day.

[requiem2adream]

... No. No. But now I know it exists I need to!

[cypherfdp]

That...

That almost made me a true scans_daily user.

Almost.

Pete's saving that for when he really needs to blow Johnny's mind?

[skjam]

Johnny's already blown Peter's mind by claiming he kissed Spider-woman and she liked it. Peter I think decided to put it in "Johnny tells bullshit lies" territory.

[kamino_neko]

I can't decide if that would have been the perfect time to bring it up, or the worst possible time....

I guess it depends on whether 'dude, you (sort of) kissed me' broke Johnny's mind too much for him to jump to '...and (sort of) you liked it'.

Waiting for Johnny to be told is one of the things that keeps me buying Ultimate Spider-Man.

My wife and I are biologists and we just talked about this. All they would have had to do is to take out his Y chromosome and copy Peter's X chromosome meaning that 45 of his 46 chromosomes would be present in Jessica. So, while I agree not a real clone, she would be very similar.

I admit I can't wrap my head around how the memories and aging would work.

[kamino_neko]

Comic book science!

IIRC, the memories aren't actually a consequence of the cloning, but another process the clones were subjected to.

'Mod-clone'.
