Wraith (Yuri Watanabe)
Wraith (
Yuriko "
Yuri"
Watanabe) is a fictional character appearing in
American comic books published by
Marvel Comics, typically in stories featuring the superhero
Spider-Man. She was created as a replacement for
Jean DeWolff, a police detective and member of Spider-Man's
supporting cast who was
killed off during
the 1980s. Yuri was introduced as a captain in the
New York Police Department (NYPD) who would occasionally work alongside Spider-Man to combat crime, although her disillusion with the justice system eventually prompts her to lead a double life as the
vigilante Wraith. Sporting a costume in imitation of Spider-Man and utilizing a variety of tools, some of them taken from supervillains, Wraith would wage war on New York's criminals and, even though her methods are sometimes too brutal for Spider-Man's liking, the two have resumed their old partnership several times.
The character has been adapted from the comics into several other forms of media, most notably the ''
Marvel's Spider-Man'' series of
video games, in which she is voiced by
Tara Platt.
