"Sometimes we have to be steady, and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams."
May Reilly-Parker, better known as Aunt May, is the aunt of Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
History[]
May raised her nephew Peter Parker with her husband Ben after Peter's parents were killed in a plane crash. May was often overprotective of Peter, believing he was fragile, but after Peter angrily picked a fight with a group of kids that were mocking him, May said he had "the heart of a tiger".
After Ben was murdered, May became depressed and struggled to pay bills. At first, she hated the new vigilante Spider-Man (unaware that he is Peter), but after he saved her from the same burglar that killed Ben, she took a more positive view on him.
Trivia[]
- May's zodiac sign is Taurus, making her birthday sometime between April 19 and May 20.
