This weekend is the anniversary of the first time that Spider-man fans saw Mary Jane. Well at least we saw 90% of her. It was in Amazing Spider-Man #25 in 1965. Ditko didn't know what she should look like so he hid her face. John Romita Sr. added that lovely feature. Usually MJ seemed like an unimportant background character. Only there to add color to the book. It was in this scene from Amazing Spider-Man #122 where Peter is in agony over the death of Gwen Stacy and ask MJ to leave where she shows the first signs of strength. Turns out she had it all along and was hiding it. In sharing it with Peter and with the readers she has become one of the most important characters in the Spider-Man universe. We lost Gwen and mourn for her to this day. Let's keep the redhead around. Today it's MJ all the way.
