Apart from saving the world, the fans also were looking forward to seeing Peter Parker in the role of a parent. However, the Marvel creators did not want to age Spider-Man in order to save the mainstream appeal. Fans have seen him go from high school to being a married man, but the only thing missing was witnessing him as a father.
However, across alternate universes, Peter Parker has children who either possess the same power as him or are stronger than him. With the introduction of May Mayday Parker in ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse‘, the fans want to know more about the superhero’s children from the alternate universes.
