May belt along Peter to layer and wonder whether she ’ll be able to balance raising Peter while also being a superheroine . The nature of Marvel’sWhat If?series was that the story were whole self - curb , and as a resolution , it look at nearly twenty - five years for   Spider - Ma’am to return .

The first Spider - Verse event bring together every macrocosm ’s Spider - Man in one large crossover . Though Spider Ma’am herself was a relatively small part of the large story , her universe was the depicted object of an entire take of the association - in rule book , Spider - Verse Team - Up . After the first Spider - Verse effect , Spider - Ma’am would go on to appear inSpider - Geddonand even have her own squad - up withMiles Moralesin the third Spider - Verse outcome .
