May Parker (Version 2.0)

May Parker was the wife of Ben Parker for many years. Childless, the couple were shocked when their in-laws, Richard and Mary Parker died in a plane accident. Their son, Peter, was inherently left with no family of his own. As a result, May and Ben took Peter in as their own. May and Ben encouraged Peter to rise above his problems in school. May was widowed when Ben was shot by a mugger. After attending his funeral, May became disappointed that Ben wasn't alive to see Peter graduate from high school. May Parker became worried worried for her young nephew when the Sinister Six was at large. She believed Spider-Man was a criminal based on the Daily Bugle's slanted lies about the hero, not knowing her nephew was really the wallcrawler. Parker told her not to read the paper, but May insisted, as it was the only paper publishing his photos. Parker became concerned when the Green Goblin threatened his family and loved ones. He asked May to go into hiding for a while, and offered to get her anything from the outside world, something May reluctantly agreed to.
