While that baby’s fate has remained uncertain, with Parker and Watson both believing the child to be stillborn, WHAT IF…? #105 explored a world in which the child was returned to Parker and Watson. In AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (1963) #418, the titular hero’s wife, Mary Jane Watson, gave birth to a child that was immediately abducted by Alison Mongrain, a woman working with Norman Osborn, AKA Green Goblin, in his effort to destroy Parker’s life.
