What if
Ben AND May were both killed by the burglar? (and a bat flew in the window? )
Pete failed to save JJJ's astronaut son?
Spidey died/never returned from Secret Wars?
While I'm here : Howard the Duck trapped in the world of Conan the Barbarian...
What If...
Mary Jane had become Captain Universe during Acts of Vengeance? - Part One
Mary Jane had kept her Cosmic Powers? - Part Two
Mary Jane was an Agent of SHIELD?
Mary Jane never knew Peter was Spider-Man?
Mary Jane had convinced Peter to remain on the Pro-Registration Side?
Spider-Man remained The Man-Spider?
Doctor Doom had saved Aunt May during One More Day?
Gwen Stacy learned Peter was Spider-Man prior to George Stacy's death?
Aunt May had discovered Peter's six arms?!
Spider-Man never joined the New Avengers?
The Mighty Avengers and SHIELD had caught up to Peter and Mary Jane moments before the deal with Mephisto could be struck?
Mayday had remained trapped in the past?
Peter's uncle was Galactus?

What if Spider-man did join the Avengers back in the 60s?
Taking it seriously, I can imagine with Peter legitimately being an orphan in that case, he probably winds up getting taken in by the Watsons.
On a slightly related note, what if Aunt May died instead of Uncle Ben?
This has gotten two different one shots in the past, but I think it would be nice to see it actually fleshed out in a mini/au. A lot of early stress for Peter was him trying to become a breadwinner because his fragile aunt was out of work and he was constantly in fear that his secret identity getting exposed would be too much for her health. I don't think either would be as much of a factor for Uncle Ben.

What if Ben and Peter defeated Norman together during PPSM75?
What if both had to create new identities during Identity Crisis?
-Pav, who could go on...
You were Spider-Man then. You and Peter had agreed on it. But he came back right when you started feeling comfortable.
You know what it means when he comes back.

What If? MJ married Harry instead of Pete?
Keep in mind that you have about as much chance of changing my mind as I do of changing yours.
