Doesn't make the decision any harder on her, though, and she admits to missing the sport terribly in ''Amazing''.

Of course this makes sense considering the amount of exercise she'd get fighting supervillains and bounding across New York.
* [[AscendedFanboy Ascended Fangirl]]: Fangirled the Fantastic Five (especially [[TeenIdol Franklin Richards]]) and the Avengers even before becoming a superhero.
* [[BigManOnCampus Big Woman on Campus]]: May, like her mother, is rather popular. [[StepfordSmiler Until her life as Spider-Girl starts messing things up.]]
