In a fight with Doctor Octopus in issue #90, Spidey and the villain knock into a chimney and cause large chunks of it to rain down on the crowd below. In keeping with the tradition that actions have consequences and loved ones are not exempt from harm in the world of Marvel, Captain Stacy meets his end in Amazing Spider-Man #90. Being a science major herself, Gwen was also a smart cookie like Parker. While Betty Brant appreciated Peter's kindness, Gwen Stacy appreciated Peter's intellect. For a while, Peter was dating Mary Jane Watson, but later concluded that MJ is shallow and narcissistic. Peter met Gwen Stacy in college at Empire State University. So another trope develops, and that's the clash between Betty and Liz over Peter.īut high school doesn't last forever, and thank the stars for that. However, Peter is dating one Betty Bryant and has lost a considerable amount of interest in ole Liz Allan. Then, after a while, Liz seemingly gets over Flash Thompson and develops a crush on Peter.

You know, boy likes girl, but girl doesn't like boy in the same way and is going out with a jerk that bullies boy. Liz Allan was actually Peter's very first love interest, and it was very much one of those unrequited love tropes. The character of Gwen Stacy was not Peter's first love interest.
