Biography
Miriam Spencer was the mother of Charlie Spencer. She worked for the State Department in Human Resources. In 2015, Miriam suffered great tragedy when her college-age son was killed in Sokovia during a pitched battle between the Avengers and Ultron's army.

A year later, she encountered Tony Stark at M.I.T. after he had just addressed a student assembly as a guest speaker. Miriam blamed Stark for her son's death, and shoved a photograph of Charlie at him. Tony harbored great guilt over this, and helped form his opinion as to where he stood in terms of the Sokovia Accords.
