**Mary Jane Watson-Parker**, also known by her secret alter-ego, **Spider-Woman**, is a crime-fighting vigilante in New York, known to be the matriarch of the Parker-Watson hero family in the future, as well as being the wife of Peter Parker and the mother of Anna-May Watson-Parker and Ben Parker-Watson.

She is an entrepreneur and the owner of her own moderately successful exclusive-fashionwear business and was formerly an investigative journalist and current-affairs editor for *The Daily Globe,*which after being destroyed, had become a subsidiary of *The Daily Bugle*. After being wedded to Peter Parker, she had only briefly maintained her career as a chief current affairs editor for the Bugle but knowing she couldn't fully devote to her demanding job and also make do with her husband's strenuous career as a superhero, she made a sacrifice for their family and quit the journalism/news industry to focus on her childhood dream of being an owner of her own company as well as a fashion designer, combining her two dreams and creating the Watson Collection.

MJ was a very social and active child, making friends easily, as her parents moved from one place to another, due to her father's job. However, her father had soon become abusive and cold towards his own children, and thus, she ran away from home and started living in her with her aunt, Anna, moving in the same neighborhood as Peter Parker. Her aunt and Peter's aunt had become very good friends and tried to set Peter and MJ up multiple times.

Being an attractive, straightforward, independent girl from a young age, all the boys had a crush on her, and one in particular, who was envious of MJ and in disdain after she rejected him, had spread a malicious rumor about her around school, after which students harrassed and ostracized her. Although she was deemed an outcast in early school years, she bottled up all her pain and never let it take over her, preferring to put on a strong image and standing up for herself. After the rumors started rolling in about her, she found all boys to be headaches and distanced herself from any thought of possibly dating any boy, despite her being found attractive by many people.

Later onwards, in high school, Mary Jane soon quickly found herself to be popular again, gaining respect for her acting chops in their school's theatre productions and for her charismatic, admirable personality, becoming friends with Flash Thompson and his clique, who she would sometimes be in conflict with, due to their tendencies of bullying unpopular students. Around this time, she was introduced to Peter Parker, and soon inadvertently discovered about Peter Parker's identity as the vigilante Spider-Man when she saw him wall-crawling up to his room's window. She soon fell for Peter even though he was struggling with his feelings for Gwen Stacy, and decided to respect his feelings and never confessed to him and instead became his best friend. The only time she went out with another guy, after deciding to give dating a try, was only when she saw Peter going on junior prom with Gwen, deciding to accept Mark Raxton Toomes, Liz Allan Toomes' brother, as her junior prom date. However, they only went out for 3 days, and at the last day, Mark was revealed to be the unstable rogue named Molten Man after which she declared she had enough of this kind of stuff and would only date when she was ready to do so, instead of forcing herself out of petty compliance.

Although, in university, Peter and MJ started dating for a period of time after he and Gwen were over, MJ had decided to break up with him since he was unable to spare any form of time with MJ due to her career as Spider-Man taking a toll on his personal life, which MJ couldn't handle.

Instead, she dedicated herself solely to her career, starting up as a magazine article writer, soon pursuing one of her interests as an investigative journalist, becoming a reputable name for the Daily Globe before it eventually merged with the Bugle. She and Pete tried to hook up once again but this time, they broke up since Peter was overprotective of her and once again, being Spider-Man affected his personal life with her. She even teamed up with Peter many times to track down and break down conspiracy cases and get the lead on supervillains while they were broken up, being envious of the Black Cat for awhile while she and Peter were hooking up since they made being a couple seem so easy. She finally reunited with Pete after the Devil's Breath Incident in New York City and helped him get his life back on track after he was possessed by the Kylntar Symbiote and unleashed his dark, vengeful side after the death of Gwen Stacy. Soon, through hordes of obstacles and life-threatening incidents, including Venom breaking into their homes and trying to murder MJ, the two were able to overcome it all and finally married each other.

She quit her job as a current affairs editor for the Bugle and started her own business post-engagement. Down the road, she wanted to help Peter out too, and convinced him to give her a reverse-engineered Iron Spider armor, modified with some aspects of Regent's Power Suit, to give her a suit that would allow her to access Peter's powers at will and gain superhuman abilities and become a crime-fighter herself named Spider-Woman, succeeding Gwen's legacy, while taking care of her family.
