Additionally, the Mr and Mrs Spider-Man short story presented in Amazing Spider-Man Family #2 shows us the traumatic murder of a mother and wife named Marlene, who's husband was an assistant district attorney.
This story occurs when Peter was still Spider-Man and Mayday was an infant. At first this seems to be an unconnected event until this scene in Web of Spider-Man (2009) #4, where it becomes clear:
The assistant district attorney was Rene DeSantos and Marlene was his wife.It seems this tragic killing had a profound effect on Rene. His turn to the other side heavily ties him to the Spider-Girl mythos. Rene was Fury, the Goblin Queen's handler for a while, was a member of the Goblin Cult set up by Norman Osborn to enact his twisted revenge plots, was present when Peter was brainwashed into the Goblin God, his daughter is a constant antagonist and rival to Mayday and he is seemingly aware of far more than he lets on.
Until I find a more lighthearted and fun villainous origin, I remain
