She was later kidnapped by the Maggia with her son Billy to force her husband to decipher the Lifeline Tablet's secret code.[3] After being moved into the Galby Building, they both were rescued by Spider-Man.[4] She and her child were brought to a safe place by Spider-Man, who vowed to find the Lizard and change him back to human form.[5] Once the Lizard was dehydrated by Spider-Man and transformed into Curt Connors, she reunited with her husband.[6]

On countless other occasions, she had to deal with her husband becoming the Lizard. She eventually died of cancer,[7] but was returned to life years later by the Jackal as an incentive to get Connors, whose intellect while trapped in his Lizard form, to work for him. Billy had also died since Martha's passing, and the Jackal also returned him to life.[8] When the Carrion Virus broke out, a disease that affected all those cloned back to life by the Jackal, Connors injected them with the Lizard Formula, turning them into lizard creatures like himself to survive the Carrion Virus.[9][10]
