I loved MJ. I loved MJ and Peter. It was perfect, it was fitting, it had years of development and fan approval. It was just awesome. Now, it's gone because Joey didn't like it.
Well, I thought of a solution that not only works with the storyline and characters(unlike Joe's move), but would create and interesting dynamic to pull in readers.
Solution?
Clone Saga 2!!
So Peter's swinging around, Mary Jane-less as he does these days, when he sees a guy who look like him, but with black spikey hair and his Spider-sense goes off like crazy. He thinks the guy is a villain, yet a woman with red hair appears and his spider-sense finally stops. He shrugs and moves on.
Same thing happens a week later, the same people. The woman looks very familiar to him. He believes it's too risky to just go talk to them so he moves on.
When it happens a third time, he appears and the guy runs into an alley. Peter chases and the guy screams "Leave me alone, I gave you my life. I gave my life for you. What more do you want? You even had her." Peter is confused. The guy is fast enough to punch Peter in the face without his spider-sense detecting it. When Peter looks up, the guy is gone.
A month or so later, Peter finds that weird hair is growing on his back. The hair isn't human, it's spider-like. He goes to Doc Connors or Reed Richards, and they tell him that it's odd that his body has been mutating so much in the last few years. On average the radioactive changes to his body would have already become standard to his system. It's almost as if he was reaching some kind of "mutant puberty". Peter laughs nervously and claims that no one understands, and swings away.
He finds the guy again and a huge fight occurs and it turns out that Peter Parker. The Peter that we have been reading about since the clone saga, was the clone ALL along!! When "Ben Reily" jumped in front of the Green Goblin's glider to save "Peter" and turned to dust, it was actually a plan to kill the REAL Peter Parker. The Peter we have been following is the clone, and Clone's DNA is unstable.
"The Other" saga and subsequent mutations were because Clone can't handle his own biological system. See, Peter Parker was normal and then got bitten...He had time to grow into the radioactive DNA. Clone was born with it and so the changes are from the body trying to figure out what it really is.
Meanwhile, the "dust" that was 'Reily' was collected by Green Goblin at around the time that Gwen's children had appeared to attack "Peter" as the Grey Goblins. The truth is, they weren't actually children of Gwen. They were clones of her using her DNA. The Goblin had dug up her corpse and planned on sending her clone and a clone of the REAL Peter, to attack Clone. Norman had to use some of his own blood to create the children, because a catalyst was needed with living tissue. That's where he came up with the idea to play a psychological game and claim that she cheated on him in Europe. Osborn then set up a bunch of clues to further drive Clone insane.
See, Osborn's goal here was to kill Peter (by turning him into dust, which he did), and then drive Clone insane by ruining his life and speeding up his mutation process. The reason Osborn seemingly has gone clean and is working with the good guys, is because his analytical data shows that Clone is going to die soon. In his mind, Osborn won.
However, Mary Jane had whispered something to Mephisto, if you all remember? What she had requested was not what people think. She actually had asked for "Ben Reily" to be alive again, so that way there is at least one Peter in the world who loves her and will remember her. Mephisto agreed. So, during Brand New Day...on the other side of New York, the dust exploded out of it's jar and turned into Peter. The real Peter. And Mephisto granted him the knowledge of everything that has happened so far. Not as an act of kindness, but because it was further the drama and chaos.
Back to the present...Clone is awestruck. He doesn't believe Peter and says that he doesn't have any lost memories and remembers everything. Clone swings away in confusion and fear. Peter dons a sweet update of the Scarlet Spider outfit and swings after Clone.
They have a long talk about Mary Jane Watson-Parker, and Peter explains that they are both Peter Parker, and they both loved Mary Jane. So when he made the deal to save Aunt May, he really did give up his love and so the deal really went through. But Mephisto's mistake was in the fact that you can't stop true love.
So from now on we'd have an ongoing series with Peter "Scarlet Spidey, married (AGAIN), to Mary Jane" Parker and Ben "Single and rooming with Harry, the Spider-Man that we've been following in comics the last couple of years, that Joe Q has a hard on for" Reily.....Making fans of single spidey and fans of married spidey happy.
