Quote1 But if it's any consolation, dear: "Spider" is more of a costume to me than my identity. In truth, I'm really just your friendly neighborhood aunt! Quote2
Spider-Ma'am[src]

History

Origins[]

Due to her nephew Peter having forgotten his lunch at home, May Parker rushed to a science demonstration to give it to him. There she was bitten by a Radioactive Spider which gave her spider-like powers.

Using a costume to hide her real identity, May set out to earn money for the family doing stunts. However, when the villain Leap-Frog made an appearance, the Spider-Ma'am defeated him and became a crime fighter.[3]

Spider-Verse[]

During the first Totem War, Karn came to Earth-3123 to kill the spider-totem of this reality. May surrendered herself willingly, if only to keep her husband and nephew from harm. However, Karn was stopped by the Spider-Army.[4]

She was later recruited by the S.H.I.E.L.D. of Earth-TRN461 into the Spider-Men, a group of Spider-Man analogs assembled to combat the Multiversal Sinister Six. She became close with Annie Parker, viewing her as an honorary great-niece.[1]

After revealing her identity to her family, they were supportive of her superhero career and created Team Spider-Ma'am. They ran reconnaissance and Peter also created and maintained Web-Shooters for her.[2]

Spider-Ma'am was recruited into the Spider-Army to battle the Inheritors on Earth-616. The geneticists of the Superior Spider-Army ended the threat of the Inheritors by transferring their consciousnesses into infant human baby bodies. The children were adopted by May, taking them back to Earth-3123.[5]
