Mary Jane

Mary Jane Watson was the main love interest of Peter Parker, her childhood friend and the superhero known as Spider-Man She came from a broken household due to her father's verbal abuse and need to support her family, and as a result had a difficult childhood. She very often visited her aunt Anna, a close friend of May Parker who saw her as the ideal love for her nephew Peter. At first Peter was reluctant to date her, not only due to their contrasting personalities, but also due to being in a relationship with Gwen Stacy at the time, who was also friends with MJ. Unbeknownst to Peter, she was aware of his secret identity as Spider-Man, having seen him change into his costume the night his Uncle Ben died. After the tragic passing of Gwen, MJ was there to support a broken-down Peter, which marked the start of their long lasting relationship.
