Madame Web could play a pivotal role in the Sony Marvel Universe with her knowledge of the future. She also knows Peter Parker's true identity, or she did until she suffers from amnesia in The Amazing Spider-Man #239, a key issue from early in her career.

It's a great issue for establishing that Peter Parker's secret is now safe again, but it's also one of the best Spider-Man comic book issues of the 80s for being one of his first encounters with The Hobgoblin, who would go on to become a major threat.

Spider-Woman #1

Madame Web teams up with Spider-Woman in Marvel Comics.

One of the best Madame Web stories in Marvel Comics begins in Spider-Woman #1 from 1999. In this issue, she teams up with the different versions of Spider-Woman, including Jessica Drew and Julia Carpenter, to stop another - her own granddaughter.

The unlikely team-up leads to a major battle with Charolette Witter, who has become a terrifying version of Spider-Woman thanks to the experiments of Doctor Octopus. It's a fun issue with lots of action that could be a preview of things to come in the movies.

Alias #17

Aunt May died in Spider-Man: No Way Home, but depending on how integrated the character is with the MCU, Madame Web could allow Peter to speak again with May, as she is able to communicate with the past as much as she is the future.

The Amazing Spider-Man #637

Madame Web passes her powers to Julia Carpenter in Marvel Comics.

A great issue that could have some influence on the live-action version of Madame Web is The Amazing Spider-Man #637. In this issue, Cassandra Webb dies at the hands of the daughter of Kraven The Hunter and she passes her powers to Julia Carpenter.

The Prowler #4

The Prowler #4 from 2017 is ostensibly devoted to one of Spider-Man's best comic book villains, but it's a great issue for Madame Web as well. This issue creates one of the most unique moments in the character's history by way of her extraordinary power.
