Spider-Man (Spider-Man Films)/Relationships

== Love interests ==
=== Mary Jane Watson ===
In the MCU movie No Way Home, Peter tells His amazing Spider-Man counterpart that though it took time, Peter mentions that he and MJ managed to repair their broken relationship. 
=== Betty Brant ===
The first time Peter and Betty met was back in 2002 when he started his job at the Daily Bugle selling pictures of himself as Spider-Man to J. Jonah Jameson since no one knows they are the same person. She  was already acting as J. Jonah Jameson's secretary.When he handed his pay check to Betty for money, Peter attempted to flirt with Betty, but instead, awkwardly greeted her with his name and his job at a photographer. Betty sarcastically but amusingly said she could see that, showing a slight smile. 
In the second film, Peter and Betty have developed a friendship. However there hints she likes him too, also a references to their past romance in the original comics. It is also through conversation that Betty gave Peter and advance on his freelancing photography and that he promised he would owe her back. However, the latest check he was given by Jameson wouldn't cover the expenses he still owed her. Instead of being angry, Betty simply tells him to keep his head up and looking forward in the near future. It should also be noted that Betty treats Peter differently than their boss does and unlike everyone else in Spider-Man 2, knows he is going through tough times, which is why Betty did not. 
After Peter was possessed by a symbiote in the third film, he began to flirt with Betty for a time. She immediately rejected Eddie Brock's advances towards her because she disliked him. However, she was visibly attracted to Peter, and they have a brief fling after MJ breaks up with Peter, only to be interrupted abruptly by Jameson and Robbie Robertson. 
Peter's and Betty's relationship borders between a friendship and a flirtatious relationship in the films, and also alludes to their comic book counterparts having dated each other.
== Family ==
=== Mary and Richard Parker ===
Parents 
Peter never got the chance to form a relationship with either of his parents. Before the films, Richard and Mary left their then- toddler son in the care of his aunt and uncle, May and Ben. In the novelization, it is revealed that Richard and Mary suffered the same fate of their comic book counterparts by dying in a plane crash. 
 
In Spider-Man (2002), when an impressed Norman asks Peter if his parents are proud of him, the teen admits to being an orphan and he lives with his aunt and uncle. However, Peter doesn't mention what happened to his biological parents because of it's rather personal matter to Peter and his aunt and uncle filled in the parental position in well.

=== Flash Thompson ===
Flash Thompson was the school bully who always targeted Peter Parker due to his smaller stature. Usually, he and his friends would take any chance they had whether to verbally or physically hurt Peter and get Harry Osborn to defend him. To make matters worse, Flash had been the boyfriend of Peter's long-time crush, Mary Jane Watson. During the school field trip to Columbia University, Flash and his friend both tormented Parker when he tried to take pictures for the school paper.
After receiving his spider powers, Peter accidentally shot an organic Web out of his finger tips and flung the food into Flash's back. A fight ensued between the two and, despite MJ telling Harry to intervene, Peter managed to fend him off. However, after Peter looked to MJ and noticed her somewhat terrified actions, he stopped. After this incident, Flash just let it slide, and was grateful Parker didn't give him a black eye before graduation. After this incident, Flash never tormented Peter again. 
In Spider-Man 3, Flash is seen as one of the mourners at Harry Osborn's memorial service and, in the novelization, found love again with Liz Allan. This shows Flash likely grew out of his bullying phase, came to the service to pay his respects to Harry, and is on better terms with Peter. 
=== Liz Allan ===
Liz Allan is the girl on the bus in the first film who immediately refuses to share a seat with Peter when he considered it. Other than this interaction, it is unknown why she is being mean to Peter Parker when she is considered "a nerd" herself. It may be played for dramatic irony to enhance the fact Peter was not a popular kid in school.
== Enemies ==
=== Eddie Brock ===
===Venom===
=== Good Terms ===
==== Flint Marko ====
At first believing Dennis Carradine was responsible for his uncle's death, Peter and May were disheartened to learn in The third film that Flint Marko was Ben's true killer. The secret had been covered by the New York Police Department until George Stacy revealed it. Angry after discovering this, Peter lashed out at Captain Stacy for this reveal, despite the Captain's attempts to calm him down. 
When he faced Flint Marko after he became Sandman, Peter had given into his anger and unknowingly, started to let the Venom symbiote take control. During their fight, Spider-Man lashes out at Marko about killing Ben Parker. Sandman is further confused as to why the subject is Spider-Man's concern. Developing a hatred for the hero, Flint teamed up with a Venomized Eddie Brock to get rid of Spidey once and for all. After learning Peter Parker was Spider-Man, Flint lost all hatred for his former enemy. He apologized, and revealed he accidentally shot Uncle Ben's when he was spooked by his partner, Dennis Carradine. With the truth of Uncle Ben's death coming to light, Peter ended up forgiving Marko and allowed him to leave. 
 
The pair were inexplicably reunited at least sixteen years later in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Doctor Strange's spell to make everyone forget MCU Peter Parker was Spider-Man was botched by Parker's alternate counterpart and ended up dragging Raimi-verse Peter and Sandman. During the battle on the Statue of Liberty, Marko was hostile with his Spider-Man because he wanted to return home to his daughter. Fortunately, Flint was cured of his Sandman persona and sent back to his universe with a better chance with his daughter, Penny.
