F.A.Q.s
Who is Spider-Girl?
May “Mayday” Parker is the daughter of Spider-Man and Mary Jane Parker, who has inherited her father’s amazing spider-like powers.
When does this comic take place?
Approximately 15 years into the future of the main Marvel continuity.
What happened to Peter's leg?
During
his final battle with Norman Osborn, the original Green Goblin, a
terrible explosion killed Norman and mangled Spider-Man’s leg. Going to
the Fantastic Four for medical treatment, Mr. Fantastic was forced to
amputate Peter’s leg.
What is MC2?
It’s short for “Marvel Comics Two”, the imprint which originally hosted the Spider-Girl comic. Since the discontinuation of all the other books in that imprint, Marvel officially labels the universe the “981”. However, fans of Spider-Girl still use “MC2” (or MC-2) to describe this reality.
Have fans really saved this comic from cancellation?
Who is Darkdevil?
Reilly Tyne, the son of Ben Reilly. To save his life when Reilly’s body started to show signs of “clone degeneration”, Kaine invoked Zarathus, the Spirit of Vengeance. The spirit of the recently slain Daredevil, Matt Murdock, battled Zarathus for possession of the boy’s body. Both spirits now inhabit Reilly Tyne’s body in a precarious balance between justice and vengeance!
Is the MC2 really the future?
It’s a possible future. Although many Spider-Girl fans would argue strongly that it is a “should be” future!
When did the MC2 diverge from the main continuity?
During the “Gathering of Five” arc, Spider-Man killed Norman Osborn. Also, in the MC2 reality, Aunt May was the person who died in ASM #400. Mayday was the baby that Allison Mongrain had stolen from birth, and was later rescued by Kaine.
What powers does Mayday have?
Spider-Girl has the ability to adhere to any surface, although she must concentrate to do so. She can lift five tons over her head, and make vertical leaps of almost 20 feet. Though hardly a physical match for her father in his prime, Spider-Girl is far more agile.
Her spider-sense is also much more sensitive than her father’s. Not only does it warn her of imminent danger, it also allowing her to track people with powers or criminal intent within a certain range even if they’re not threatening her. It also allows her to “sense” a villain’s weakest point.
