Spider-Woman #1

[informationgeek]

"That is a complicated question and the answer will play a big role in the series. Jess doesn't particularly like children. She's made that pretty clear in the past. She hasn't been waiting around for the right guy to settle down and have a family. That's never been part of her plan. All of this is new uncharted ground for her and a big life changing business. It's not a trick or a gimmick. It's a story.
...
I won't get into it here but I very much relate to Jessica's stance on children. There are big, strong, deep-rooted reasons why she never wanted to be a parent. I understand that. I lived that. Then one day everything changed. Jess seemed like the perfect character for this story." - Dennis Hopeless


"If you were on board with the new version of Spider-Woman (and why wouldn't you be, as it's the most interesting and relatable take on the character in maybe ever), then you'll be relieved to know this is the same Jessica Drew." - Matt Little, a reviewer for CBR

You answered your own question with "one is A-list and the other C-list." I mean, that's it exactly. One has movie and TV plans around him that would be jeopardized by suddenly appearing "older" and less relatable to some of his core audience, and one does not have any of that going on. But, y'know, then there's Ant-Man.

But the thing is this is supposed to make her MORE relatable according to Hopeless. Not less.

Also, Batman has a kid running around and DC hasn't put a stop to that even with their new cinematic universe coming out.

All Hopeless says, from what I can tell, is that it makes it more relatable for himself specifically, not for the audiences in general or for the teen audience that most such talks of Spider-Man relatability revolve around.
