One of the things director Sam Raimi introduced to the Spider-Man mythos was Peter having organic web shooters in his body, as it was more believable for a teenager to have those than having built mechanical web-shooters. This was a pretty profound moment in Spider-Man’s life, and it could’ve helped him grow if he hadn’t sold off his marriage to the demon Mephisto to save May’s life. Though Peter questions why it couldn’t use its infinite powers to save May’s life, the One Above All explains that death is a random but normal part of life and that Peter should continue to have faith. The all-powerful entity spends the day with Peter to try to comfort him in this, his lowest moment. After Aunt May takes a bullet meant for him, a grieving Peter gets a visit from a homeless man who reveals himself to be the One Above All, the creator of the Marvel Multiverse.
Well, it worked, but they’ve pretty much blocked it from their memory since then. It’s disgusting to imagine that Peter accidentally caused his true love’s death with his, er, DNA, and it comes across as a cheap way to kill Mary Jane with enough shock value to catch the audience’s attention. It is eventually revealed that his beloved Mary Jane died from cancer brought on by Peter’s radioactive sperm. In what is supposed to be Spider-Man’s version of The Dark Knight Returns, Spider-Man: Reign portrayed the hero as a retired old man living alone in a dystopian New York. Spider-Man once killed Mary Jane! Marvel Comics
