Aunt May (Finally) Dead In Ultimate Spider-Man (Honest)

The Ultimate Spider-Man version of May Parker, the aunt of Peter Parker, certainly had some moves on her. But then, so did the original.

The Ultimate Spider-Man version of May Parker, the aunt of Peter Parker, certainly had some moves on her.

Not that the original wasn't handy with a flower pot herself.

But the Ultimate Aunt May also carried a bit of the past with her too.

But at the end of the Ultimate Universe one-shot that will set up the new Ultimate Spider-Man launching in January, we learned that Aunt May had died in the attack blamed on Tony Stark.

And the trailer for the new Ultimate Spider-Man confirms it.

As the Parkers visit a memorial to all those who died in the attack.

The trailer shows the new, older Spider-Man….

…already married with kids when he gets bitten by a radioactive spider that grants him his powers.

In the previous Ultimate Invasion series, we saw how The Maker had managed to stop Peter Parker getting powered up as a teenager.

That Peter Parker pose gets a reprise decades later…

With his wife…

…their kids…

and his boss. There's someone who hasn't changed.

Nor has The Kingpin.

And the Green Goblin… well there was an Osborn on that memorial stone as well.

And what's with all the different costumes and identities?

"Written by Hickman and drawn by acclaimed artist Marco Checchetto, ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN is the first ongoing series of the new Ultimate line and presents a startling twist to the Spider-Man mythos. After the Maker used time travel to create a world without heroes, Peter Parker lived a relatively normal life, marrying Mary Jane and building a family. Now, it's time to set things right! Learning the truth behind his reality, Peter will step up to become the Amazing Spider-Man the world didn't know it was missing!"

"Glimpse into this Spidey saga unlike any other in the new ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN trailer, featuring never-before-seen artwork. The trailer introduces readers to the Parkers and shows Peter web-slinging into his heroic destiny and battling new versions of his classic villains, including Kingpin and Green Goblin!"

"When we decided that we were going to do a book about an older Peter Parker becoming Spider-Man, we really wanted to lean into him starting his super hero life from a very different place than what's traditionally expected," Hickman explained. "Peter and MJ being married is one of many decisions we made that underline this being quite a 'different' kind of Spider-Man story."
