ORIGIN (EARTH 616)

Childhood

May Reilly was born in an unstable family in Brooklyn. She had a rough childhood, often seeing her parents tearing each other to pieces. For May, life was a nightmare. The tension between her parents rose every day until her father made a decision. He decided to leave home. Even if she would never see her father again, May thought her life would be better without these quarrels, but May's mother blamed his leave on her. Moreover her mother always told May that she was a burden. Every day of her childhood, May heard hurting remarks like that. She wanted to become liberated, but she would have to become a young women before she could. The only positive thing she remembered from her childhood was she could become stronger psychologically.

Choices

May must be choose between Ben Parker and Johnny Jerome

When May became a beautiful blond-haired girl, there were two men who she was attracted to. On one hand there was Uncle Ben, a sales talker at the Coney Island fair at New York. On the other hand, there was Johnny Jerome, a selfish big-time gambler. Because of her miserable childhood and a feeling inferiority, May let herself be taken in by men who treated her like a princess. She fell in love with Johnny Jerome. One thing leading to another, and May trusted Johnny more than ever; and when he proposed to elope, she accepted. But the Jerome’s plan was not perfect. Indeed there was a little problem called Ben Parker.

Ben, May’s bashful lover, succeeded to obtain clues about the true face of Johnny Jerome: a robber and a killer. He intervened at the right time when May was getting ready to run away. Ben convinced her about Johnny. She thought rationally this time and gave her heart to Ben.

Little by little, their relationship became stronger and stronger. But a new test came arose. Ben’s parents often entrusted them with Richard Parker, Ben’s youngest brother. May found taking care a young boy when she and Ben were a young couple was not easy. They couldn't live on their youth. That was why, when May Reilly became May Parker, preferred not having kids. That led to Richard falling in love with Mary Parker and ended up having a boy called Peter.

Dramas and Consequences

When Peter Parker was born, Richard and Mary Parker realized they had made a mistake. When Ben and May were old enough and thought their youth was not wasting away, Richard and Mary gave Peter to Ben and May. Ben and May greeted Peter with open arms straight away, and completely fell in the love with their new nephew.

One day, Richard and Mary had to attend to a secret mission in Algeria. Indeed they were secret agents who were double agents for the American government. But during their mission, they were killed by Red Skull. May and Ben had only one choice: to take care of their orphaned nephew as he was their own child. When Peter was born, May was approached by Richard and Mary, and the both of them asked if she could take care of Peter if they ever died during their missions. May was unprepared for that, as it was a lot of responsibility, but Peter was such a loving child, she couldn't help but accept. From there, Ben, May and Peter became a family.

Years passed peacefully in that little New York neighborhood called Forest Hills. Peter became a smart student at Midtown High School. May and Ben were happy that their nephew loosened up when Peter became enamored with Spider-Man, even if they didn’t know that Peter was Spider-Man:. But they were worried too because Peter came home during late hours. One night, a burglar broke into their home in order to steal a treasure owned by the previous owner. Ben couldn't sleep because he was worried about Peter's late nights. One night, Ben surprised the burglar and the burglar shot Ben.

When Peter found out about his uncle's death, he decided to take revenge on his uncle’s killer and ended up arresting the burglar. But without Ben’s support, May was in trouble to pay her fees. That was when Peter decided to take on his responsibilities and became a Daily Bugle photographer in order to help May pay her fees.

Affections

May and Peter take care of each other

With the death of Ben Parker, May and Peter decided to take care of each other. May wanted to feel wanted and important, so she saw Peter as a weak person. She always worried about him, but never about her. Moreover she had a sixth sense and felt bad when Spider-Man was in danger. And Spider-Man was becoming more popular and fighting more crime than ever before. As a consequence, the worst had come: May had a heart attack and had to be hospitalized. During her time in hospital, she made a new friend called Betty Brant. Indeed she was in a same situation as Peter Parker. Her mother was weak and she would usually make trips to the hospital. That was why she decided to visit Peter’s aunt.

Imagine the surprise when Peter came to hospital to see his aunt. That act of kindness reinforced the relation between him and Betty. Nevertheless, a point made a distance between them. When the doctor informed Peter that his aunt must be operated in emergency and the operation would cost a lot, Peter decided to brave the danger and take pictures of super villains. He succeeded in taking pictures of Electro and received money from J. Jonah Jameson. The operation was a success, but May had still a weak heart and had to save her strength. She decided to retire some time in Florida with her neighbors, the Abbots.

Few weeks passed and May returned to her sweet home; a peaceful life with a weak but healthy nephew in her eyes; a nephew who could not be Spider-Man. Indeed after a fight against Doctor Octopus, that super villain unmasked Spider-Man. Everybody found out that Spider-Man was Peter Parker, but no one believed that. For them, including aunt May, Peter was disguised in Spider-Man; but in no way was Peter Spider-Man in anyway.

Time elapsed and May kept her relationship strong with Anna May Watson; at such a point that Anna and May decided to put Anna’s niece, Mary Jane and Peter together. Peter didn’t want to be forced into a relationship. He was lucky, because Mary Jane canceled twice.

However, May was getting weaker and weaker.

A New Friendship

The day of the creation of a new super villains group, the Sinister Six, the creator of that group decided to kidnap Betty Brant. With Betty kidnapped, Doctor Octopus could make put some pressure on Spider-Man. But when Electro and Sandman went to Betty’s apartment, they found not only Betty, but aunt May too and the kidnapped both of them. Aunt May thought it would horrible, but Doctor Octopus was a true gentleman with her. They even had tea together. Spider-Man succeeded in beating the Sinister Six and police arrested everyone who was responsible for the kidnapping. But May saw Doctor Octopus being arrested, and she considered him innocent. That was the beginning of a friendship.

Back to the Daily Routine

As sun comes rain, May’s life was completely predictable. It was always the same things: Aunt May continued to set up Peter with Mary Jane. In the end, Mary Jane moved on. The discovery of a costume of Spider-Man by May (once again, May thought it was a disguise and confiscated it) and she was feeling getting dizzier each day.

Routine is like a refrain, it is repeated continually. And May was a pawn on the chessboard of routine. May was too weak and she had to be hospitalized. Peter learn that his aunt was infected by his own radioactive blood. He tried to find an antidote with the help of Dr Curt Connors. But the health of May was deteriorating and she fell into a coma. Peter arrived just in time to give the antidote and May was saved. She returned home and to her usual activities.

She spent a lot of time with Anna May Watson and they still tried to introduce Mary Jane. But Peter missed the chance, and it was because of Joe Smith. And Peter missed her. May was worried about his absence. Nevertheless, she never considered her nephew being Spider-Man. She was more than half inclined to discover the truth. Indeed, one time, Green Goblin fought Peter Parker in front of May’s house. Only a massive fog could preserve the secret of Peter Parker.

Change

May and Anna succeed to introduce MJ to Peter

Everything would have been fine if only Anna May Watson didn’t propose to May to live with her. In fact, Mary Jane took the decision to leave her aunt’s house in order to be independent. So knowing the financial problems of May, Anna decided to propose May to be her house mate. May was tempted to accept, but she refused, protesting that she couldn’t leave Peter alone.

That rejection didn’t affect the relationship between May and Anna. On the contrary, they became the best of friends. With the last attempt time they tried to introduce Mary Jane to Peter. And this time they succeeded. Thinking he found an ugly girl who needed to be helped by two older people in order to meet someone, Peter found a gorgeous red-headed girl. They got on well. For May and Anna, it was a victory and thought Peter and M.J. formed a beautiful couple. But the joy was short because Peter found a new friend but not a lover. He loved someone else in the person of Gwen Stacy.

After that event, the life of May could continue on normally. It was Peter who changed his aunt’s life. Indeed, Peter decided to live with his friend Harry Osborn. Learning that, Anna May Watson asked May for a second time to live with her. She accepted that time.

Old Daemons

To keep themselves afloat, Anna and May decided to allow people to rent their house. A man responded to their ad and took the house. That gentleman was one of the most dangerous super villains: Doctor Octopus. When Peter learned of this, he decided to fight Doctor Octopus. His aunt saw the fight. She was so afraid of Spider-Man that she collapsed and Doctor Octopus ran away. Peter disappeared to fight Doctor Octopus. May was so worried that she fainted. She fell into delirium and had to be hospitalized. It was only when Peter reappeared that May felt better. Peter explained that he was kidnapped by Spider-Man.

Returning at home, May had more and more crises due to her worrying about Peter, but no one was serious about it.

For the Love of Peter

In an aim to help Flash Thompson, Sha Shan and her father, Peter Parker decided once again to do attempt a fake kidnapping by Spider-Man. His girlfriend Gwen Stacy was very worried and decided to visit Harry Osborn. She asked if he knew something about Peter’s situation. The problem was that May was here. She began such a scandal that Gwen didn’t support Peter anymore. She argued that May was too maternal for Peter, and that she had to see that Peter was not a child anymore and that May has to make some distance between them. May accepted the truth and decided to stop mothering Peter. She left a letter saying that she left home to take refuge elsewhere.

Doctor Plays

Everyone tries to protect May

Peter did some research and found his aunt in the mansion of Doctor Octopus. May came to him, asked for a job and be employed her as a governess. Peter put his costume of Spider-Man and went to fight Doctor Octopus. Unfortunately, he was surprised by May who knocked him with a jar. Hammerhead attacked Dr Octopus in order to be the chief of the crime organization. Spider-Man woke up and looked at Doctor Octopus who went to protect May. A fight began. May tried to intervene and accidentally shot Spider-Man. She missed him and Spider-Man could escape. Doctor Octopus was arrested by the police. He asked May to take care of his house until his return. She accepted. Peter had no choice to let her in the hands of Doctor Octopus’ men.

May had some adventures before Doctor Octopus came back. She was kidnapped by the Beetle, then by the Green Goblin. But Spider-Man was always here to help her.

When Doctor Octopus returned and learned that May inherited a Canadian island with a reactor and a radioactive mine, he seduced May and proposed to her. She accepted. Doctor Octopus was happy because he would use the atomic resources for his interests. But once again, Hammerhead and Spider-Man were here to counter his plans. Spider-Man saved May from the explosion of the island, but not Doctor Octopus and Hammerhead.

To A Predictable Tragedy

Even if May had an iron will, she had another crisis and had to be hospitalized. She rapidly fell into a coma. Learning that information, a correspondent of May's decided to see before it was too late. His name was Ben Reilly, a clone of Peter Parker. He had corresponded with May for five years. May was put in a convalescence house. They then told Peter that his aunt was dead. Peter was in such a rage that he couldn’t believe it. He was right because Peter found that his aunt was alive. Indeed, the burglar who killed Ben Parker was freed. He forced May to say that she was dead in order to interrogate May. He tried to find a hidden treasure somewhere in Parker’s house as the first time he came. Peter was so enraged that the burglar had a heart attack. In the end, he died for nothing because the treasure left by the previous owner disappeared a long time ago.

May with his former fiancée Nathaniel Lubensky

Nathaniel Lubensky

After that altercation, May decided to return to Forest Hills and transformed her house in an apartment in order to not be alone. Half a dozen people paid to live here. One of them was Nathan Lubinsky. He was a nice guy she met at the hospital. Their relationship became more and more serious and Nathaniel proposed to Aunt May. But they broke up the day when Nathaniel had intentionally caused the death of a delinquent. There was more and more tension between them. But Nathan still had feelings for May and showed it when he sacrificed himself when Vulture tried to kidnap May.

Dead Again

May returned to her peaceful life. But she had more and more crises and she had to be hospitalized again. Doctors were categorical. May had to stay at hospital. Nevertheless she didn’t listen to them and decided to spend the little time she had with her family.

During the following week, she spent several hours with her nephew. She asked him to bring her to the summit of the Empire State Building because Ben had done so on their dates together. Peter tried to explain why he made so many mistakes, things that he was not very proud of. May stopped him telling him that he did what he thought was right. And she asked one question: How it feels to sling above the city? She knew Peter was Spider-Man.

May also knew that Mary Jane was pregnant. She congratulated them in remembering how it was difficult to introduce Mary Jane to Peter. She was glad and said the more important experience would come, because there is no greater responsibility in the world than raising a child.

After their journey at New York, May’s health was deteriorating. She had fever and had to stay at bed. She refused to go to hospital and wanted to stay with Peter. She realized she had a good life and a long life. She was tired and knew her time was come. Peter remembered that his aunt read Peter Pan when he was a child. He read some sequels of that book. And May died peacefully in front of the people she loved: Peter, Mary Jane and Anna May Watson.

Peter believed, once again, he lost his aunt forever. But Peter quickly discovered the truth. May was alive. Indeed, it was Norman Osborn who kidnapped May. He replaced her by a fake May who was in reality was a genetically modified actress. When Norman became totally crazy, his former employee Alison Mongrain and Robbie Robertson revealed to Peter where was his aunt. Peter saved her and defeated the Green Goblin.

There are still questions: What did the Green Goblin had done to May? Is she the real May?

May know at last the truth

Support

May tried to find a place in Peter’s life. It was only when Peter lost his wife in an airplane explosion that strong links were created. She supported him all along. Mary Jane came back, but she decided to break up. May supported him once again.

One day, May visited Peter by surprise. She found Peter injured sleeping on his bed with a rest of a costume of Spider-Man. At that time she accepted the truth and that Peter is Spider-Man. She decided to support Spider-Man and tried to ameliorate his public image.

Alternate Universe

Ultimate Universe (EARTH 1610)

Different Universes, Different People

===================

Picnic with her family

May Parker is a woman who has character. During her youth, she followed the hippie movement. So she was very free in her way of thought. For instance, in a concert of Jimi Hendrix, she proposed a toast him. Another time, she ran away from home to San Francisco for a while. Nowadays, she quiets down, but she is still interesting in uncommon stuff like homeopathy, psychology or dietetics. Even if she kept that extravagant mentality, she always stays modern. Indeed she is addicted to internet and goes to a wine class sometimes.

On the family side, she was content. She had a husband, Ben, a beloved sister, Mary Parker, her husband Richard and a wonderful nephew, Peter Parker. Everything was perfect. Her sister was also her best friend. She saw her family every time was possible. Through the medium of her brother-in-law, she met the Bronxs who became her friends.

Different Universes, Same Events

=====================

Death of Ben

Richard Parker worked with Eddie Brock Sr. on the Venom Project. But their financing was stopped. So they decided to go to Chicago with their wives in order to find new financing. Nevertheless, they never succeeded to hit the target. Their plane crashed. Consequently, May and Ben had to take care of their nephew Peter. They did, maybe too much. Peter became a smart but weak teenager. Indeed Peter was always annoyed by his classmate. For May, he never really connected with May.

When Peter was bitten by a spider infected by Oz solution, Peter fainted and was hospitalized. Even if money was needed, May and Ben were too generous to decide to take proceedings against Norman Osborn. But they could be strict too when it was necessary. For instance when Peter skipped a class, May and Ben acted like parents and grounded him.

Few times later, with his new spider powers, Peter was more self-assured. During a fight between him and Flash Thompson, Peter broke Flash’s hand. May didn’t understand why Peter did that. It was something they didn’t need. They had to find the money for Flash’s hospitalization. Peter apologized and decided to find a way to bring money. He found a job as a wrestler and left the money on the doormat as a gift from school.

By that change, May thought that Peter could play basketball along with his studies. Indeed his marks decreased. She told him off. Peter ran away to Kong’s house. May saw his husband went to find him. He came back alone and explained that he found Peter but he ran away once again. They waited for his return. They heard something. Ben called him and went downstairs. May joined him. Peter was not here, a burglar stood in the kitchen. Ben was shot. May, desperate, called the police. Peter came back home. May explained everything.

May doubted of Peter’s love

Doubts

=====================

With the passing days, May worried about Peter’s behavior. Peter wasn’t at school after the attack of the Green Goblin, he had nightmares, he spent a lot of time at the Daily Bugle and he came home lately. For instance, after a fight against Kingpin and Electro, Peter came home very lately. May was very sad. She thought that Peter preferred spend his time outside; May doubted Peter’s love. She didn’t want to be alone.

Even if their relationship improved, May still doubted Peter. She liked MJ, but she was not sure what Peter and MJ did in his room. She called Mary Watson to take her daughter back.

Traps

=====================

May obliged Peter to accept Harry’s invitation

Since May knew about Peter's secret, she set up some traps for Peter.

After a fight against Doc Ock and Kraven The Hunter, Peter came home at 3 A.M. May waited for him. She asked him to explain himself. Peter said he was at the Bugle. May replied that she called the Daily Bugle and he hadn’t come for a week. Moreover, May was worried about Peter’s injured wrist. Peter tried to explain that he was not recognized at the Daily Bugle, his wrist was injured at school and he was at M.J.’s house. May was upset. She said the first person she called was MJ. May didn’t want to worry herself to death. Peter was grounded until the truth was said.

The second trap was when May was visited by Norman’s personal assistant. Norman and Harry returned. She accepted to let Peter go to Harry’s house. It was a mistake, because Peter had fight the Green Goblin again. May had some regrets when she saw a sad Peter come back from Harry’s house. She apologized and withdrew her intended punishment for Peter.

A new trap came with a new invitation of Norman. She accepted at the beginning. But Peter succeeded to convince her to not accept. She remembered Ben saying that to be rich, you must walk all over someone else. She declined the invitation and Peter had to fight once again with the Green Goblin.

The last trap took place at school. Indeed, May was called for a teacher/parent meeting because Peter’s marks decreased. She met Peter who was going to fight the Rhino. She forced him to go with her. But during the meeting, Peter succeeded to find an excuse for leaving.

Family Feelings

=====================

May tried to pick Captain Stacy up

Peter Parker was a schoolmate and the only friend of Gwen Stacy's. That was why, when Gwen was marooned by her mother, her father left her with May in order to go to a police detectives conference. May enjoyed helping a single parent. She was in the same situation. May was attracted towards George Stacy. She asked him if his wife left forever. He confirmed it but he also said he was not prepared to begin a new relationship. May clearly said she felt alone and she was ready for a new relationship.

A real friendship began between May and Gwen. Contrary to MJ, May was glad that Gwen was here. She was not alone anymore when Peter stayed outside to fight a fake Spider-Man. But she still worried about Peter. She waited for his return but felt asleep. When she woke up, she discovered her nephew sleeping in his room. The secret identity of Peter was not revealed once again.

Everything could be fine until the arrival of two cops who came to announce the death of Captain Stacy. He died trying to protect a kid from a bomb launched by a fake Spider-Man. It reinforced the bad vision that May had about Spider-Man. May phoned Ginger Stacy to announce the death of her husband. She asked her when she would come to take her daughter. Ginger responded that she did not want to pick her up. May, offended, began to raise her voice. Ginger hung up on her. Gwen had helped in that conversation and decided to stay with her aunt in Minnesota. May asked Gwen to stay with her and Peter. Gwen, who was touched, accepted. She still had a person who loved her.

May touched to see an old video

Lost Loves

=====================

Gwen and May became closer friends. May evoked her past when Peter went directly from his laboratory to his room. Gwen explained that Peter was dumped by MJ She went to discuss it with Peter. When she arrived, Peter was watching a video of a picnic they had together (Peter, May, Ben, Richard, Mary and the Brocks). She was touched to see Ben. She was not prepared. She forgot that Richard made some videos. She convinced Peter to come into contact with Eddie Brock.

Confessions

=====================

After the death of Captain Stacy, May was so troubled that she consulted a shrink. She had to confess her greatest and deepest emotions and fears to be liberated from her ghosts.

For instance, she talked about the day where a school was attacked by Geldoff. All schools were closed and parents were called to take their children. May went, looked for Peter, but didn’t find him. She asked MJ if she saw her nephew. She tried to find an excuse. But Gwen said Peter was not here. May called the Daily Bugle, but she was kept waiting. Evening came, she received a call from Peter’s maths professor. Peter didn’t go to his class. Upset, she went to Peter’s laboratory. She looked everywhere. Peter arrived just in time. May didn’t discover his costume. May asked where Peter was. She wanted to look inside Peter’s bag where another costume was. Hopefully, a comic entitled “The Merry Adventure of Robin Hood” that fell out. It was a book his mother read it to him when he was young. He used that as an excuse that he wanted to be alone to read it. May worried herself sick; she thought Peter was probably dead. She dissolved into tears and forgave him.

Therapy

She recognized that the problem was Spider-Man, not Peter. She was scared of mutants, Spider-Man and so on. Even if they were good, they put people in danger like Captain Stacy. Moreover, Spider-Man lived in her neighborhood.

She also recognized that the problem was also herself. She thought she used Gwen as a meaning to not fear her ghosts. Silence weighed on her. She remembered that everyone she was close to died. That was why she thought she was responsible for the distance between her and her nephew. She understood him but she argued with Peter.

Her psychoanalyst saw in May as a good person. She didn’t become an alcoholic. She fell into affection. She showed her affection towards Gwen, but Gwen also needed it. They needed each other. For Peter, she couldn't not be worried about him. He was a good boy and for that, she had to show her love to him.

She applied what her shrink told to do. She asked him to spend an evening with her. Peter accepted with pleasure. Also, when Peter went to May’s office, he explained he was fired from Daily Bugle and was expelled from school. Indeed he had an altercation with his social studies professor about Kingpin:. May thought he was confused between Wilson Fisk and the burglar who killed his uncle. She tried to reassure him. Moreover, she called J.Jonah Jameson and told him off. JJJ was impressed by a strong woman and accepted to rehire Peter.

Jaunt and Escapade

=====================

May visited her mother

One day, Craig Watson, Mary Jane’s father visited May to argue with Peter. He read her diary and knew that Peter endangered Mary Jane. He threatened Peter to not date MJ anymore. May, upset, ordered MJ's father out of her house. Peter was worried about MJ because her father was violent. May decided to keep an eye on M.J. with Gwen.

Days passed and May was closer and closer to Gwen. One evening, May received a call from Mary Watson. She said her daughter ran away. She took money and some clothes. She tried to find Peter. He was not here because he fought Elektra and Black Cat. May thought that her nephew ran away with M.J. She then heard a noise in the kitchen. It was Peter who luckily came back just in time. She told everything involving M.J. Peter had another altercation with Craig Watson. May and Gwen intervened. It was at that moment that Peter knew where M.J. was and he brought her home.

Some time later, May decided to do a jaunt in Florida where her mother was. She returned at the same time as Spider-Man. He was kidnapped by Doc Ock and was brought to Brazil. He went through his laboratory where an armed Gwen was waiting. It was the yelling of May which allowed Peter to turn the situation around. Gwen ran away. May saw that Peter injured and asked for an explanation. Peter responded it was from a sports game. May forced him to see a dentist.

May discovered Gwen’s corpse

Fate

=====================

Everything returned to normal. Things were arranged between Peter and Gwen. May was worried when Peter had a fever. Everything was normal until that evening where May found the corpse of Gwen Stacy in the backyard. For May, she was responsible. She was too close to her and she died. She called the police. Peter arrived. The police suspected him. May defended him. May tried to get Ginger Stacy on the phone. She couldn’t be reached. It was too much for her.

Mary Watson proposed to put May and Peter up. May accepted until she could find a new house to live in.

Altercations

=====================

May refused to let Peter see Harry

Even if she was affectionate with Peter when Peter dumped MJ, May could be rude when it was necessary. For instance when Peter wanted to go out to see Harry, she refused. She thought the Osborns were too dangerous. Moreover, Peter didn’t go to Daily Bugle, he didn’t go to school and he came home at late times. After he fought against some warriors (Hammerhead, Elektra, Moon Knight, Black Cat, Enforcers, Iron-Fist and Shang-Chi), May threatened him to throw him out.

When Flash was kidnapped by Studio Din And Mita, everybody knew that Spider-Man was bonded to Midtown High School. Peter explained everything to his aunt. He confessed indirectly he was Spider-Man. May didn’t understand the allusion. She recommended for Peter to see a psychoanalyst. He had an anxiety attack. That was why she apologized to him for his absences in school.

Matters of the Heart

=====================

May had a heart attack

Time elapsed and life continued for May and Peter. One evening May went out with a group of friends from work. During that time, Peter fought Deadpool and his team on Krakoa. When he came back to home, Peter decided to tell his aunt the truth about his secret identity. But nobody was inside the house, and there was only a voice message on the phone. It was May saying she wasn’t with her group from work, but she was dating Dr Miles Warren. Later, she had a conversation with Peter about him. Peter told her he had a new girlfriend: Kitty Pryde.

After the battle against Scorpion and the journey to Baxter Building, Peter went home. May explained that Mary Watson called her and said M.J. disappeared. Peter hadn’t seen her since afternoon and went to her research lab. May decided to help too. She went to her previous house and found Peter and Gwen Stacy. Afraid, she ran away to her house in order to call the police. Peter came and asked her to hang up. He tried to convince her. He explained he was Spider-Man, Carnage tried to find him but found Gwen instead and killed her. He saw Gwen at the same moment as her. May didn’t believe it. Peter repeated. May ask for proof. Peter walked on the roof. Annoyed, she asked to stop. She understood everything (the Osborns, and so on). She asked if it was really Gwen. Peter didn’t know but for him, it was a valid explanation. It was too much for May, she gave the order to Peter to get out of her house with that (Gwen). May yelled although she wasn’t his mother, she took care of him. And Peter only was deceiving her. May ordered her to get out of the house.

A man arrived at that moment. He looked like Richard Parker, Peter’s father. May told him to take his son. Richard tried to calm down May. Peter, astonished, asked his aunt why she wasn’t surprised. May said she knew that Richard was alive. She said nothing to protect her nephew. She wanted them to leave her house. Richard said they needed to talk.

Richard explained he didn’t take the plane. He was accosted by the C.I.A. He had no choice except to continue his project. He discovered that his son was Spider-Man. She waited until the evening for May when she would finish her work. May didn’t believe her eyes. She ran away. Richard tried to explain everything. May called him a monster to not come early. She refused to believe Richard accosted Peter. She wanted a normal life for Peter. That was why Richard only observed Peter.

SHIELD attacked with several Spider-Slayer created by the Tinkerer. Gwen, upset, became Carnage. As a consequence, May had a heart attack. Richard asked his son to leave. Peter refused; he wanted to protect his aunt. Richard begged him to fight SHIELD whereas he would take care of May. The Fantastic Four intervened. Whereas Spider-an, Mr. Fantastic, the Thing and the Human Torch fought Carnage and SHIELD, Invisible Woman entered the house. She used her powers to transport May and Richard to hospital.

May was operated on. Richard learned he was a clone of Peter and died. May was in a stable state. Sue Storm stayed with her until the arrival of Peter. Peter regretted to not tell the truth before. He was scared that he would endanger her if she knew. He didn’t want the person he considered as his mother dead. He knew it was the opposite; that saying nothing endangered her. Nick Fury arrived and told Peter he was wrong to think he was a danger.

May wake up, called Peter. She asked what happened. Kitty Pride and Jean Grey arrived at that moment. Kitty asked Professor X to erase the memory of May. Professor X refused.

Now May knows all the truth about Peter.

===================

May Porker (Earth 8311)

May Porker was an old lady who lived alone with only a spider as friend called Peter. May was also a scientist. She created the world’s first atomic powered hair dryer. May tested her invention. The experiment failed. May was glad, took her arachnid friend in her hand and crunched Peter’s head. Her new powers were transfused to Peter. He transformed into a pig with the abilities of a spider. May fainted and when she woke up, she lost her memories. She considered Peter as her nephew. Like on Earth 616, she was preoccupied by Peter’s health.

Only two events happened to May after that event.

The first event was when Spider-Ham came home and found May. Peter Porker thought she was at her Regular Thursday Night Little Old Ladies’ Social Club Meeting and Dinner Dance. May thought she was attacked and had an attack. Peter called an ambulance. May was hospitalized. She fell in a coma and only an experimental serum could save her. But the serum was stolen by Ducktor Doom’s men. Peter found the capsule of serum empty. Doom used it to create legume soldiers. Spider-Ham beat them. He brought the Eggplant to hospital. Doctors did a transfusion and May was saved.

The second event was the introduction of Mary Jane Waterbuffalo to Peter from May.

===================

What if Aunt May instead her nephew had been bitten by the radioactive spider? (Earth 3123)

Peter Parker was at his High School Field Trip when May discovered that her nephew forgot his lunch. May took it to him. When she arrived at the Science Institute, May had been bitten by the radioactive spider. She felt dizzy, gave Peter his lunch and went away. A car without breaks drove into May. With her spider instinct, she dodged the car and crawled on a wall. Understanding she had powers, May went home and thought of some ways to make money. She prepared a costume and became Spider-lady. She looked at a weapon when her bread burnt. She put too much yeast and the bread became a stinky paste. For May it was the ideal weapon. She heard at the radio that Leap Frog stole a candy store. She decided to become a super heroine. She fought Leap Frog and the fight finished in her backyard. Peter arrived at that moment. Leap Frog:char took advantage of the distraction of May and beat her. May, upset, didn’t want to endanger her nephew. She gave Leap Frog a thrashing. Peter afraid, fainted. May decided to take care of her nephew and to be a super heroine.
