The best part I love about Titania is her fear of Spider-Man in general. Not Venom, not man-spider; just regular Spider-Man. To me, that’s freaking hilarious! I can just imagine Spider-Man going up to her and yelling, “Ooga Booga Booga!” Titania would flip out and scream like Courage the Cowardly Dog. Sounds hilarious doesn’t it?

Mary wanted to be a bully all her life but until she became Titania she could only ever dream of doing that because she is in some ways a coward. Of course a guy who constantly cracks jokes and does not seem to be intimidated by anyone or anything would throw her off her game. She realised that she couldn't bully him and that made her lose ALL determination she had at the time because she ultimately has no self-confidence.

Let's note that Mary from a very young age had wished to become someone else. The fantasies she had of herself gaining superpowers as she was reading the comics, as depicted here, show her ABUSING those powers to make the people she's very clearly envious of suffer...while it's understandable why she'd feel this way after years of neglect, isolation, bullying and poverty, it's also no excuse for how she behaves later. A minor example is that she lied to her best and only friend at the time because it was a way for her to feel better about herself but it's also clear that Marsha would have cared for her even if she didn't think that Mary was Spider-Woman. By the time Mary's become Titania, when she gets back at Vanessa Ashwood she's not even registering that it's Vanessa because by that point she's clearly envious of Jennifer Walters and has shifted her entire attention towards her.

He never bothered to make her life miserable. She did that on her own.

Marvel simply has better villains than DC. With the exception of a handful, their’s aren’t as powerful or nearly as iconic as the “Distinguished Competition’s.” No, where Marvel’s villains excel is in their humanity. There’s almost always something there to make them at least vaguely sympathetic. Would say Marvel could do a series, on +Disney, about the low rent villains who’re just trying to make a dishonest buck in the MCU. They pretty much showed how that can work, with the Vulture, in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Imagine a series from the POV of a character/characters like that. Where it’s not about domination or revenge. It’s about highly flawed characters just trying to get paid.

Another villain w/ the cliched sad tragic abusive/bullied background. Doom's machine must have included some kind of empathic component to endow Skeeter w/ the exact kind of power she wanted. Also while reading one of her issues it just seemed weird and kinda inappropriate (though not unique I guess) to have She-Hulk and Titania calling each other by their real names while fighting.
