When Owen Reece, the Molecule Man, managed to seal off Titania's part of Denver and begin to navigate it back to Earth, Crusher and Titania decided that they were done with Doom and his war and simply wanted to go home. Titania's needy side made her somewhat dependent on Creel at this point. While still on Battleworld, the Absorbing Man and Titania began a relationship. After he threw her through an exterior wall, Titania's attitude and newfound arrogance vanished and left her fearful of Spider-Man for some time. Spider-Man's speed, agility and experience were too much for her powerful but still novice abilities. The heroes later stormed Doombase to rescue She-Hulk, bringing Titania face to face with Spider-Man. Under Doom's orders, Titania fought the Thor, X-Men and She-Hulk, which started starting a long rivalry between the two. Titania's transformation and the now-boundless confidence that came with it led her to act out, throwing a pile of red hot slag created by Volcana through a wall and challenging Carl "Crusher" Creel, the Absorbing Man, to a fight which he refused, claiming that he had "nothing to prove. Titania was introduced Secret Wars #3 by Jim Shooter and Mike Zeck, but her full backstory had to wait until She-Hulk #10 where her origin was shown in flashback.

The party now in disarray, the real Spider-Woman arrives on the scene to save the guests from a collapsing structure. Suddenly, the powerful being known as the Beyonder chose to rip their section of Denver from the Earth to become a part of the composite planet Battleworld - a stage for his planned battles between Earth's heroes and villains. It becomes apparent that newfound popularity was due to Marsha spreading around the false Spider-Woman rumor. Immediately Mary's fortunes changed and she was invited to a party at Vanessa's house. Mary responded by falsely revealing to Marsha that she is secretly Spider-Woman. One day, after the Julia Carpenter appeared in their town, Mary's only friend Marsha Rosenburg remarked to her that this superheroine's reddish-blonde hair color matches Mary's. Mary became deeply resentful and bitter in response, often fantasizing about gaining superpowers to become admired and revenge on her tormentors, including Vanessa. Mary's physique left her subject to horrific bullying her entire childhood, even to the point where she had to take menial jobs just to survive. As a result, she grew up frail and diminutive, earning her the nickname "Skeeter" (slang for "mosquito") from Vanessa Ashwood, a girl at her school.
