Peters secret life as Spider-Man was not only his own life but also that of May complicated. May is always afraid that her nephew will be injured at his job as a photographer, as Peter was always venture out to take pictures of Spider-Man. She herself also did not like Spider-Man.

Meanwhile, Peter also fears for the welfare of his aunt. Especially what shock it would be for her if she ever finds out his secret identity. This was often the source of tension in the comics as Peter had to choose again between his responsibilities as a superhero and the care of his aunt. This inner conflict was a bizarre turn when May began a relationship with Dr. Octopus . Peter then had to dispense with his enemy to reckon without his aunt hurt.

Aunt May is several times "dead", but always turned in a way or another back again. In its most recent "death" example showed the "Aunt May" who died to be a real actress and May was held captive by the villains.

In Amazing Spider-Man (volume 2) # 35, # 38 May finally got to know Peter's secret. But unlike Peter expected she accepted. When their house was destroyed moved Peter, Aunt May and Mary Jane Watson to Stark Towers (as Peter meanwhile had joined the Avengers ). Aunt May looked like to develop a relationship with the Avengers butler Edwin Jarvis . Her strong will was again evident when even Wolverine had nothing to bring against her. ==Ultimate Aunt May <span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[  edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;">In the Ultimate Marvel comics Spider-Man Aunt May is a strong and independent woman.
