Mary Jane Watson

 For a list of Comics and Story-Arcs Mary Jane has appeared in see: Mary Jane Watson (Appearances).

Mary Jane Watson is a recurring character in The Spider-Man Saga and is often the love interest, best-friend, and even wife to Peter Parker. She is also one of the few people that knows Peter's identity as Spider-Man and has been with him through the most devastating parts of his life. She appeared partially in The Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 1) #25 but didn't make a full appearance until Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 1) #44. She is ranked 43rd on Comic Buyer's Guide's "100 Sexiest Women in Comics List".

Although she is an actor, a model, and very attractive, she doesn't fit into the stereotypical "Damsel in Distress" role, and most of the time fights back when in a situation that calls for it.
