## History

The past history of Betty Brant of Earth-78227 would mirror that of her Earth-616 counterpart up until the early days of her new job at the Daily Bugle. In this reality, she would follow her employer J. Jonah Jameson to cover a report on a scientific demonstration on radiation being conducted by one of Jameson's colleagues in the same lab Peter Parker
 was attending with his classmates. This test would lead to a spider
being irradiated. The radioactive spider would land on Betty's hand and
bite her instead of Peter.

Witnessing the display, high school student Peter Parker would
come to her aid and convince Jameson to let Betty take the rest of the
day off, and Peter invited her to dinner. That night while having dinner
 with Peter, Betty would soon learn that she had developed the
proportionate abilities of a spider. Peter would inspire her to take up
crime fighting so that the two could make money off pictures that Peter
would take for the Daily Bugle, even though Jameson would only use the
photos in his personal smear campaign against Betty in her activities as
 Spider-Girl.

After a number of exploits the two would be witness to a burglar
 escaping a robbery. Failing to stop the crook, Spider-Girl and Peter
would dismiss it as none of their business. Returning to Peter's home,
they would be horrified to learn that Peter's Uncle Ben
 had been shot. Tracking the crook to the Acme Warehouse, Spider-Girl
would be shocked to find that the killer of Uncle Ben was the man she
failed to stop earlier. Horrified by this, Betty would abandon her
identity of Spider-Girl, realizing that she wasn't made for that sort of
 responsibility, even though Peter tried to convince her to continue her
 vigilante activities.

### **Spider-Verse**

Having returned to her vigilante identity, Betty joined Spider-UK's team of Spider-Totems.[1]When the Spider-Army's safe ground in Earth-13 was attacked by the Inheritors and the arachnid heroes retreated to Earth-8847, Verna and her hounds caught up with them. Even though Verna got hold of Spider-Girl, she was rescued and SP//dr held her in her arms when the Spider-Army escaped to Earth-3145.[2] She later recovered from Verna's attack not long afterwards, and was seen wearing a different outfit.

### **Spider-Geddon**

She later appeared again in another outfit reminiscent to her old one when she appeared at another gathering of multiple Spider-Totems to stop the Inheritors again, when Superior Spider-Man and Scarlet Spider disappeared from the group.
