And, there s no particular reason to think filmmakers would necessarily stick with her comics origin story. She may simply have been a one-time Easter egg. There are, of course, any number of directions that Marvel Studios, or Sony Pictures, could go with Cindy, and her appearance in Homecoming doesn't guarantee we will ever see her again. Homecoming takes place a few months later, making the spider bite likely less than a year before, meaning the film might have taken place during the time before Cindy went into her bunker. In Captain America: Civil War, Peter tells Tony Stark he has been fighting crime as Spider-Man for about six months. That works out pretty well with the timeline in the MCU. Though three years definitely seems too long, it could easily have been a year or so of Sims running tests on Cindy and telling her to avoid using her powers at all costs, lest the extra-dimensional Morlun be summoned. And yet, in her own series, we are told repeatedly that Cindy spent 10 years living in a bunker, and we are also shown a number of scenes with her family post-spider bite, trying to find a cure, before finally warily agreeing to enter Sims' bunker. Although Marvel comics often avoid providing express time frames for when events occurred in the past, there's an overt caption in Amazing Spider-Man #1 (2014) - Cindy's first cameo appearance - stating that the spider bite happened 13 years ago. There's some support for this in the comics. RELATED: So, Who Is Michelle's Zendaya in Spider-Man: Homecoming? It's even possible that Cindy might have been outright warned not to use her powers by the MCU version of Ezekiel Sims, causing her to worry that helping her classmates might somehow bring a fate worse than death. Alternatively, Cindy was bitten, but she has avoided using her powers so much that she wasn't prepared to do so when disaster struck in the Washington Monument.
