History
"Penny" was the nurse to Ben Grimm's uncle, Jacob Grimm, who was recuperating from an accident which took the life of his wife. Despite their age difference, Petunia married the much older Jacob Grimm and together they helped raised the orphaned Ben Grimm.[1] When young Ben was sick, Petunia used to give him a jelly bean once he had taken his medicine.[2]
Ben Grimm had made numerous references to Aunt Petunia over the years,[3] describing her as his favorite aunt.
Petunia kept contact with Ben during his Fantastic Four days, sending him once a striped tie which was not at all of his liking.[4]
Eventually, Petunia visited New York City to ask the Fantastic Four to help with a mystery in her hometown of Benson, Arizona. This was the first time other members of the Fantastic Four had met Ben's oft mentioned aunt.
She was brutally murdered by the Marquis of Death in order to torture Ben Grimm, as part of an attempt to destroy the Fantastic Four.[5]Attributes

Trivia
- In the short story "This is a plot?" published in Fantastic Four Annual #5, a crowd of unnamed fans raid Marvel's offices asking Stan and Jack "Where's Spidey?" and "The heck with them! I wanna meet Aunt Petunia!",[6] suggesting the popularity of the unseen Petunia at that moment.
- The credits box of Fantastic Four #169 describe the first page as symbolic but the authors "got a whole honest-to-Aunt-Petunia non-symbolic story to go with it".
