—Spider-Man[source]I can't stop imagining who she was... who she would've been... Maybe she'd have grown up and made the world a better place, cured cancer or just lived and grown old, but... but I traded her life for yours and I didn't even mean to.
History
Faridah Kassem was a teenager from Dubai. She loved photography, but was at odds with her mother, who didn't think of it as a good profession.[1] When the super villain Zzzax attacked the city, she would have been saved from falling debris by Spider-Man. However, after this happened, his Champions teammates Ms. Marvel and Viv died in battle. After Miles and Brawn were offered a chance to rewind time with no charge by the demon Mephisto, Brawn managed to stop Zzzax before the battle escalated. However, due to the changed outcome, Miles wasn't blasted by Zzzax in Faridah's direction, so he wasn't present to save her life.[2]
After the battle, Miles remember saving Faridah in the original outcome, and had Pinpoint teleport him to Dubai, where he learned that Faridah had died.[3] Miles was haunted by the knowledge that he unwittingly caused Faridah's death, and it caused him to quit the Champions.[1] He stayed in Dubai to visit Faridah's mother, and asked her to tell him about Faridah.[4]See Also
