Aunt Maya

Aunt Maya is the guardian of Pavitr Prabhakar, the Indian counterpart to Peter Parker, in Marvel's Spider-Man: India. She and Uncle Bhim raise Pavitr in Mumbai, filling the surrogate-family role central to his Spider-Man origin reimagined through an Indian cultural lens.

Rooted in the rich soil of Marvel's Spider-Man: India, Aunt Maya made her debut in 2005 as part of one of the Modern Age's most distinctive and culturally vibrant corners of the Spider-Man universe. She shares the page with the likes of Pavitr Prabhakar, Uncle Bhim, and even Spider-Man himself, placing her at the warm, human heart of a story that reimagined a beloved mythology through an Indian lens. Her presence across nearly two decades of publication speaks to the enduring affection fans hold for this series, and for collectors drawn to landmark moments of representation in mainstream comics, Aunt Maya is a figure well worth seeking out.
