Betty Brant

Betty Brant was born in Philadelphia. Her mother had originally been the ''Girl Friday" of Daily Bugle editorJ. Jonah Jameson, and Betty dropped out of high school to become Jameson's secretary at the Daily Bugle after her mother suffered serious injury. As Peter Parkers first love, she met him when he became a freelance photographer for the Bugle. After they had been attacked by the Vulture, Peter had already noticed his attraction to Betty, and was impressed when she stood up to Jameson over publishing slandering articles against Spider-Man. They began dating shortly afterwards, when Betty was impressed by Parker's kindness when taking care of his ill Aunt May
