I really liked this character and the feel of the series.
It reminded me a lot of DC's "Batman Beyond".
I'm really surprised that more people do not know about May "Mayday" Parker aka The Spectacular Spider-Girl. Yes, Spider-Girl. Set in the MC2 Universe, May is the daughter of Peter (Spider-Man) Parker and Mary Jane Watson. MC2 (Marvel Comics 2) was a series of stories set in a possible alternative timeline of the Marvel Universe. There we got to see what would happen to the heroes in a few years from now, without messing up the current continuity. It was Marvel's way of logically progressing the stories without affecting their trademark heroes. What I liked about the series was that it had a "Silver Age" feel to it in a lot of ways.
May was created by Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz and first appeared not in MC2, but in an issue of "What If" in 1998.
I liked this Universe it was set in because it wasn’t your typical apocalyptic future stories.
Everything didn’t go to hell in a hand-basket in a few years.
And you got to see the sons, daughters, nieces and nephews of our current heroes.
May inherited most of her fathers powers. She was only half as strong but twice as fast. May's wallcrawling was due to a bio-magnetic field her body generated. Her "Spider-Sense" was vastly more acute than her father's and she also had the ability to sense the weak points, similar to the Inhuman's Karnak. She also wore mechanical web-shooters that could fire a line, impact webbing and metal darts.
And she got the best of both worlds. She inherited her mothers looks and her dads brains.
