Spider-Man has had two major loves in his life, but undoubtedly the most famous is Mary Jane Watson. She knew his secret, she accepted it, and for the most part, she put up with the dangers and consequences of Peter Parker's second life.

The events of Civil War had some drastic consequences for Peter and his family. After he revealed his identity to the world, Aunt May and MJ were in danger. Initially, they were safe while under the protection of the Avengers in the mansion, but when Peter rebelled against Tony, all bets were off.

It wasn't long before someone put their sights on Peter and his family, but it was Aunt May who was shot by a sniper's bullet. She came very close to death, which is why Peter found and made a deal with Mephisto to save his aunt. The only catch? His entire relationship with Mary Jane would be completely wiped from history!

The "One More Day" storyline shocked readers by reversing a longtime relationship that had come to define who Peter Parker was, and many were enraged at the audacity of the whole thing. Pete's identity was also made a secret all over again, but taking MJ from Pete seemed unnecessary and even cruel.
