In the world of the not-too-distant future,
the daughter of the original Spider-Man has inherited her father's amazing, arachnid-like powers. Possessing the proportionate
strength, speed and agility of a spider, as well as the ability to cling to walls, May "Mayday" Parker now follows in his
web lines as the stunning Spider-Girl!
Real name: May "Mayday" Parker
Occupation: High-school student,
adventurer
Group affiliation: None
Base of operations: New York City
First appearance: What If...? (Vol. 2) #105
(1998)
Height: 5'5"
Weight:
112 lbs.
Eye color: Brown
Hair color: Brown
Powers: Spider-Girl possesses superhuman strength, agility and dexterity, as well as a sixth sense that
warns her of impending danger. Her original ability to stick to walls has evolved into a kind of bio-magnetic control that
enables her to adhere to most surfaces and cause objects she has touched to cling together.
Weapons: Spider-Girl's wrist-mounted web-shooters
discharge thin strands of web-fluid at high pressure. On contact with air, the long-chain polymer knits and forms an extremely
tough, flexible fiber with extraordinary adhesive qualities.
History: In a not-too-distant possible future,
Peter Parker retired from his career as the wisecracking, web-slinging super hero called Spider-Man to live a normal life
with his wife, Mary Jane, and daughter, May. Watching May during a varsity basketball game, Peter and Mary Jane noticed the
teenager exhibiting what they considered to be superhuman agility and skills. Dismissing the incident as a fluke, they thought
it best to keep the situation under wraps.
When the wraith-like Green Goblin -- Spider-Man's
greatest, most lethal adversary -- seemingly returned from the grave and cornered May, the terrified teenager reported the
development to her parents. Peter took off for a final showdown with his hated foe, vowing to meet the Green Goblin at midnight
atop the Brooklyn Bridge -- where Spider-Man had watched him die years earlier, impaled on his own Goblin Glider. Fearing
for her husband's life, Mary Jane revealed to May that Peter was Spider-Man ... and that she had inherited his amazing abilities.
Donning a spare spider-suit, May entered the fracas as Spider-Girl and saved her father's life.
May leapt eagerly into the role
of super hero with spider-spawned agility, though a crimefighting career was against her parents' wishes. Ever after they
forbade her to be Spider-Girl, she continued to sneak out on nightly patrols. Like her father before her, May felt that it
was her responsibility to use her great powers in the service of her fellow man.
