My all time favorite character in comics is Mary Jane Watson Parker. MJ for short.
While reading Spidey, Peter Parker is who I was, MJ is who I wanted to be. Self assured, intelligent, kick ass, awesome. Of the two Parkers, MJ was the stronger one, even if her husband was the one with superpowers.
She could stare down Venom and take out the Chameleon with a baseball bat and still be unsure about herself because she didn't believe her husband needed her. She was Peter's strenght, his closest confidant and his partner in almost every sense of the word.
Brand New Day might have ruined Amazing Spider-Man, but pre-BND MJ will always be awesome to me.
