Elizabeth "Liz" Allan (also known as Elizabeth Allan-Osborn and commonly misspelled as Liz Allen〔Amazing Spider-Man #139 and 177〕) is a fictional character that appears in the comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. In the character's earliest appearances, she was an attractive, popular girl at the high school of the nerdy Peter Parker. She has been a regular supporting character in the various Spider-Man series on an on-and-off basis, and has ties to the Green Goblin and Molten Man. ==Fictional character biography== Liz Allan was a high school student that attended Midtown High School together, and a minor love interest of Peter Parker and Flash Thompson. An unnamed blonde female high school student in ''Amazing Fantasy'' #15 (August 1962) appears to be Liz Allan. Liz Allan is first named in ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #4 (September 1963), the same issue in which Betty Brant first appears. Initially, Peter likes Liz. However, she is Flash's girlfriend and initially considers Peter something of a loser, even taking part in the general ridicule that Peter endures on a daily basis. Her earliest appearances depict her as flighty and rather thoughtless - not outright cruel, but lacking the empathy necessary to perceive Peter's attractive qualities. However, after she hears an ailing Peter had donned a Spider-Man costume in order to save Betty from Doctor Octopus, she develops a crush on him.〔''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #12〕 By this time, however, Peter's interest has waned considerably, as he notes that Liz never showed any real interest in him until he began dating Betty Brant, and assumes that Liz's feelings are little more than a schoolgirl crush. Betty and Liz clash several times over Peter, as Betty mistakenly thinks that Peter reciprocates Liz's interest in him. In ''Amazing Spider-Man'' #28 (September 1965), Peter and Liz graduate from high school. At the graduation ceremony, Liz admits her feelings to Peter, and says she has come to accept the fact that they are unrequited. In the same issue, Spider-Man battles the Molten Man, who in later issues is revealed to be Liz's stepbrother Mark Raxton. She does not reappear for a few years, during which time Peter developed relationships with Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane Watson. When Liz returns, she dates then marries Harry Osborn, whom she meets at Betty Brant's wedding to Ned Leeds, becoming Liz Allan Osborn. The couple have a son, Normie Osborn. Their family history turns tragic, however, after Harry Osborn has a mental breakdown.〔''The Spectacular Spider-Man'' #177-180〕 In the guise of the Green Goblin, Harry kidnaps Liz, Normie, and Mark, and terrorizes them within an old family mansion.〔''The Spectacular Spider-Man'' #189〕 Liz is deeply traumatized by this experience, and falls into a state of denial about her husband's problems.〔''The Spectacular Spider-Man'' #190, 199-200〕 Harry's madness leads to his death shortly after.〔''The Spectacular Spider-Man'' #200〕 Struggling to put Harry behind her, Liz breaks ties with his friends Peter and Mary Jane.〔''The Spectacular Spider-Man'' #204-205〕 In the graphic novel ''Spider-Man: Legacy of Evil'', Harry attempts to pass the legacy of the Green Goblin down to Normie Osborn but fails due to the efforts of Spider-Man, Mark Raxton and Ben Urich. Later, Liz Allan became a supporting character in ''Daredevil'', serving as a love interest for lawyer Foggy Nelson. The couple breaks up after Mysterio manipulates Foggy into having an affair in a plot to drive Daredevil insane. Liz feels like Foggy has let her down and ends their relationship.〔''Daredevil'' Vol 2. #8〕 After Spider-Man publicly reveals his real identity in the "Civil War" storyline, Liz becomes resentful of him, blaming Peter for bringing so much death into their lives. However, after the events of the "One More Day" storyline, the public revelation of Peter's identity has been forgotten and Harry is still alive but he and Liz are no longer married. Liz and Normie are present when the Molten Man is given the antidote to his condition. Raxton, who had escaped the basement in which Liz was keeping him for his own safety, is cured thanks to Oscorp.〔''Amazing Spider-Man'' #581-582〕 Liz is last seen attending a party to help Flash Thompson deal with the loss of his legs.〔''Amazing Spider-Man'' #622〕 During the ''Fear Itself'' storyline, Liz is seen trying to leave New York with her son, due to the fear and chaos that is happening, and encounters bank robbers.〔''Fear Itself: The Home Front'' #2〕 Recently, she has been shown in a new alliance with Norman Osborn as he attempts to re-establish himself as a corporate figure - apparently using an alias as his activities as the Green Goblin have made his true name too public -, working with him to ensure her son's future.〔''Superior Spider-Man'' #31〕 Following a confrontation between Spider-Man 2099 and an agent of a time-travel organization from 2211 in the Alchemax Building, Liz has deduced that the 'new' Spider-Man must work in the company and is determined to enlist him to her cause, foreshadowing the time-traveler's claims that Liz Allan and Spider-Man 2099 will have some significant impact on future history.〔''Spider-Man 2099'' (vol.2) #1〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Liz Allan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
