The character is from the alternate future MC2 universe, and is the younger brother of Mayday Parker / Spider-Girl, and son of Mary Jane Watson and Peter Parker / Spider-Man.

Benjamin was born after a complicated pregnancy. Because of his father's artificially altered genetic code, Ben was at a high risk of being born with some kind of genetic abnormality: deformity, disability, or perhaps even mutant powers.^[10] Due to the risk to Mary Jane's health, her obstetrician advised her to consider abortion. However, remembering that she faced similar risks when pregnant with her daughter May, Mary Jane decided to proceed with the pregnancy.^[11] Ben was born while his sister fought Seth, and to his family's relief, was apparently a perfectly healthy, normal little boy. He was named Benjamin in honor of his uncle Ben Reilly and great-uncle Ben Parker, while his second name, Richard, is in honor of his grandfather Richard Parker.^[12]

During the attack, Mary Jane, Mayday's boyfriend Wes, and Peter are apparently all killed and their home destroyed. Mayday flees with Ben and is rescued by visiting Spider-Men from other dimensions. It is revealed that Ben is part of a prophecy that will help bring about the downfall of the Inheritors, alongside Kaine and Silk.^[17]

After their parents' deaths, Peter was sent to live with their Aunt May and Uncle Ben while Teresa, whose birth had been kept a secret, was adopted.^[21] Many years later, Teresa was personally recruited into the C.I.A. by Nick Fury.^[22] Teresa first came into Peter's life after saving the latter from several mysterious gunmen sent by the Kingpin.^[23] Following this adventure, Teresa left the C.I.A. to join a S.H.I.E.L.D. division called the Gray Blade under Nick Fury Jr., specializing in international hostage rescues and intel gathering, before becoming a fugitive after learning of a program named "Project Twilight", an exhaustive plan to take down both superheroes and supervillains. After deleting all traces of the project from Gray Blade's systems and hiding the only known backup in nanobots in her bloodstream, Teresa sought Peter's assistance in confronting the Kingpin once again, who was involved in the operation. Later on, she helped Spider-Man stop an attack by the Vulture. Since Teresa had been spotted by Gray Blade operatives with Spider-Man, they arrested Peter himself due to his alter-ego being supposedly a bodyguard. When Peter then attempts to get Teresa out of New York, they are attacked by numerous criminals sent by the Tinkerer, ahead of an alien armada.^[24] After traveling to the past of an alternate timeline, to retrieve information to stop the coming invasion, Teresa joined Peter in this journey, contacting Fury and confirming that she was in fact the Parkers' daughter and Peter's sister.^[25]

Laura grew up withdrawn from the world. In an attempt to cure her, her parents sent her to the New Life Clinic, which was actually run by the villain Scramble. Laura managed to escape but was later caught by Bedlam and forced to become a member of his team of Derangers. During the clash with Alpha Flight, Laura swapped places with her twin, whom she had named Goblyn, in Liveworld.^[26] After Alpha Flight defeated Bedlam, Goblyn and Laura were admitted into Beta Flight under the misbelief that they were the same person.

Perun

Perun (Valeri Sovloyev) is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He first appeared in Captain America #352 (April 1989) and was created by Mark Gruenwald and Kieron Dwyer.

Perun is a Russian superhero who serves in Russia's government-sponsored super-team, the Winter Guard, alongside Fantasma, the Red Guardian, Vostok, and Crimson Dynamo. Perun is an avatar of the Slavic god of the same name.

Perun and the Winter Guard come into conflict with the Hulk and the Pantheon over the kidnapping of Igor Drenkov, a Russian spy. The Hulk believes Drenkov to have been responsible for his, the Hulk's, creation. Drenkov is put through a re-creation of the incident, which causes great distress. The Hulk easily defeats Perun and takes his weapons, using them to temporarily entrap Vostok. The confrontation ends in a stalemate, for Drenkov had gone mad with guilt and nobody was sure what to do.^[27]

Perun and fellow Slavic god Chernobog later join the Winter Guard.^[28]

Pestilence

Pestilence is the name of several characters in the Marvel Comics universe; some are members of the Horsemen of Apocalypse.

Caliban

Polaris

F.R. Crozier

This character is an adaptation of Francis Crozier, an Ulsterman who disappeared while searching for the Northwest Passage. Six months after the departure of the expedition, the ships became trapped in ice. The captain set forth with a party in search of help and was never seen again. Crozier led the remainder over the ice, only for much of the crew to die of exposure. Crozier ingested an elixir he had prepared before, entering a state of suspended animation.^[32]

Crozier possesses Snowbird's newborn son, calling himself Pestilence. Pestilence travels south, in possession of the baby, until he reaches a mining town in Klondike. He is followed by the child's father, Douglas Thompson, who dies of Pestilence's plague. Alpha Flight battles Pestilence until he takes control of Snowbird, forcing Alpha Flight to kill her. After Snowbird is buried, Pestilence rises from Snowbird's grave and attacks Alpha Flight until he is trapped in Shaman's medicine bag.^[33]

Pestilence had a number of supernatural abilities of unknown origin, perhaps deriving from his being buried at a place of power for over a century . He had the power to spontaneously generate life forms symbolic of disease and death, including insects. He could control the spirits of the dead, transform his appearance into that of other people, generate disease, cause instantaneous but temporary rapid aging and had the power to draw upon the "bodily decay" of other living beings to rejuvenate himself. Pestilence had extensive knowledge of chemistry beyond what was commonly known in the 19th century.
