I was gonna make that comment. But I refrained.

We all know the real reason she talked Peter into it from Mephisto.

She found out she was preggers and didn't want a Spider Freak Baby.

A D U L T (i.e. character growth)

Peter didnt need her telling him to eat wheatcakes anymore. He was well into his adult life, and should be happily married, and to have a child someday (May Parker).

And I dont care why, you dont ruin your legacy of Power-responsibility by dealing with the devil.

The whole story and concept is just ####. Not even worth argueing over character motivations and such, because in my twenty yearsof collecting comics, this story had the least motivation and even character than I've read almost ever (including 90s X-men) ;p

The marriage wasn't important to who Peter Parker/Spidey is.

It was only done as a rushed tie-in to coincide with the newspaper strips.

Much like Black Panther/Storm was a cheap publicity stunt and likewise suck.

Besides, Peter is supposed to be a loser who nothing goes right for.

Shackling with a wife does nothing but close the door on good stories.

It had plenty of motivation.

Again, Peter would have been personally responsible for Aunt May's death.

Much like how he was responsible for Uncle Ben's death.

MJ recognized that it would destroy him. So talked him into the deal.

With the "Norman Osborn: Protector or Destroyer?" I can't help thinking we could see an AE, but with either of two different figures that could be the Alter part of that Ego.

Double up the AE mechanic with the return of Arch Enemies to go with Alter Ego.
Spider-Man if he turns into Goblin, Iron Man if he turns into Iron Patriot.

That's how I see it.....he'll be an AE with both of those figs.

Again, looking awesome in August.....

Marvel will probably continue to bend years of comic book continuety just to match the Hollywood versions of their characters. The "One More Day" arc was a true spit in the eye to long term readers.

With every decision Joe Quasada makes I become more of a hardcore DC reader. Killing Cap for political views, rewriting Spider-man's history to match Hollywood, and making lame fallback stories like Secret Invasion are killing Marvel comics for me.

I'm in for a case.

Now to save money for it! counting the weeks until august... factoring in living expenses, carry the Dragon+Con...! dangit! I'll figure it out some how!

That's just a hand swap. It's like the easiest alternate piece option other than a head swap. Just make two sets of hands, one body. Miniature manufacturers do this sort of thing all the time.

i hope REDHULK is not a chase figure in this set......

This set is looking cooler and cooler.

We know Spidey and Dark Reign will be represented, but I want to know which off-theme characters will make the cut - who will be our Cave Carson for the Web of Spider-Man?

Inertia and Kid Zoom might disagree.

Hi Carlos,

The art used for the ironpatriot was the same art posted earlier in this thread. All I can say is that sometimes you have to sculpt things the way you are told.

I can't post photos until the set is released. The poster looks pretty good though, I think they are tying to improve the paintjobs from the look of it.
