 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Trouble is a story set in the Marvel Comics universe, published in 2003 by their Epic Comics imprint.The five-issue series follows the adventures of brothers Ben and Richie, and best friends May and Mary. The four, along with numerous other youths, meet at a resort during summer work and hook up, Ben with May and Richie with Mary. However, their sexual misadventures end up taking more dramatic turns that change their lives forever when the negative effects of such a lifestyle begin to catch up to them.What makes Trouble particularly infamous is that it was apparently meant to be a prequel to the Spider-Man universe; Ben and May are Peter Parker's uncle and aunt, and Richie and Mary are his parents. The premise and subsequent plot reveals about Spider-Man's family resulted in it being widely unaccepted and ignored by fans and creators alike.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

 Age Lift: In the main comic, Ben and May Parker are both about twenty years older than Richard and Mary. However, this comic portrays them all as being in the same age group. This only occurs so that the infamous teen pregnancy twist can happen.

 Ambiguous Time Period

 Ambiguous Time Period: As Present-Day Past below explains, the series seems to take place in the late '70s, but it isn't clear. Anachronistic pop culture references aside, the ages of the characters doesn't help. The series was published in 2003, and if it was meant to take place in the late '70s, the birth of Peter Parker in this story would put him at his mid 20s or so. However, in the main Marvel universe by this time, Peter had married Mary-Jane, gone through secondary school, and was working as a high school teacher; even accounting for Comic-Book Time, it seems more reasonable that Peter is at least in his late 20s and more likely somewhere in his 30s. To say nothing that if May was a teenager at this time, she'd be in her 40s in 2003, but she's typically depicted as much older.
