For a nerdy kid from Queens, Peter Parker has certainly landed some major-league hotties during his Spider-Man career. Here's a glimpse at some of the names in Petey's personal black book, according to the comics, and the actresses that play them in the movies.
———
MARY-JANE WATSON
A total party girl when they first met, this knockout red-head (who earns a big paycheck as a model and actress) has since become a more sober and serious person.
Comic status: Happily married to Peter; not-so-happily-married to Spider-Man
Played by: Kirsten Dunst
True love?: Considering all that they've been through, Peter and Mary-Jane must really love each other to remain husband and wife.
———
GWEN STACY
Gwen is beautiful, blonde, intelligent, kind ... all around, she sounds like a perfect girlfriend.
Comic status: Killed by the Green Goblin.
Played by: Bryce Dallas Howard.
True love?: It was, but sadly it wasn't meant to last.
————
BETTY BRANT
A good workplace friend who briefly became something more
Comic status: Betty continues to work at the Daily Bugle as an investigative reporter.
Played by: Elizabeth Banks
True love?: More of a brief fling.
———
LIZ ALLAN
One of Peter's chief tormenters back in high school, this mean girl eventually developed a big crush on the skinny dork. Later on, she married Harry Osborn and give birth to his son ... and potential future Goblin.
Comic status: Taking care of Norman Jr.
Played by: The movies pointedly never included this character, but if they had, Brittany Murphy would have fit the part.
True love?: Nah, she's just a high-school crush.
———
BLACK CAT
This adventure seeking vigilante and cat-burglar prowls the town after-hours in a skintight outfit.
Comic status: Cat most recently joined the new Heroes for Hire team.
Played by: Black Cat has yet to grace the silver screen, but when she does, may we suggest Jessica Alba?
True love?: Petey was head over heels for her, but she was more attracted to Spider-Man than Peter Parker. | Only registered users can write comments.

|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
