I'll be honest, while I do like the idea of Gwenpool being added, and in fact she is my favorite of all candidates (followed surprisingly by Lorna after reading about her on a wiki), I do not think she should win.
Because Oni clearly wants to add her.
As mentioned, he already put her on a scene, and is clearly insistent.
Plus how she made Jean a completely different character. While I do like this take on her, and I am aware he never liked her much, you can't say it is not just to spite everyone for not letting Gwen win - he literally made the pool restart with only the two.
So, I want other girls to be added through the pools. If he wants her so much, he can add her on his own accord instead.
(which is... ironic, considering her name)
...
Also,
Gwenpool IS a mutant now, guys.
Seems like her powers retconned her in fear of being canceled, and now she is a mutant with her memories of being a dimension traveler coming from a small mental breakdown when her powers first activated.
As a consequence though, seems she lost the ability of take advantage of being in a comic book, keeping just the awareness of it.
She was even able to use a portal to Krakoa, which supposedly only allows mutants (save for Kitty, it seems, because her powers confused the portal so it wouldn't let her?)
But that's just a guess.

Well, she did become a character on her own because the fans already liked her just because of the variant cover, not because they decided they liked the idea themselves, so they probably wanted to ride on the initial fame. Thus why the name Gwenpool and keeping the appearence so similar.Grunt also forgot the hyphen in Spider-Gwen. Always respect the hyphen. But yeah. I don't blame people for thinking Gwen Poole is another version of Gwen Stacy. I made that mistake as well. Doesn't help that Marvel decided to not only make them look similar, but name them both Gwen. And I know she was a variant cover, but they could have tried to make it less confusing.
But that's just a guess.
