Back in the 90's, Peter and MJ had a baby. Fearing that having a baby would make Peter look "too old," it was decided to allow the child to be stillborn -- nothing like a miscarriage to keep the characters in touch with today's youth. This child, a little girl, has since been completely ignored and references to her have have never resurfaced.Until Tom DeFalso brought her back. She first appeared in a "what if" story and then, not too long after, she received her own comic series, The Amazing Spider-Girl. It's not counted as canon, it takes place in a, more or less, parallel universe -- one in which that little girl (May Parker) grew and discovered she has some of daddy's traits and abilities. I've read a handful of issues of Spider-Girl but was never able to really get into it too much (I have a hard time with alternate realities and parallel universes -- another reason I don't read a lot of DC).
But Galactus over at SuperHeroHype! posted this fantastic interview with the writer. It's good to hear that someone over at Marvel has not only heard the fans' outcry, but is responding to it.
