Bring Back The Spider-Marriage & May Watson
Marvel has been running a slew of teasers for their big event next summer which all showcase past events like Civil War or House of M, but this is the first teaser that truly got my attention. There’s enough writing on the wall that next summer Marvel will do an event that ends with a reboot of their entire line of books and the results will give a new status quo for the 616 Universe to be more friendly to linking to the cinematic universe. This newest teaser suggests that Marvel could reton the Peter Parker & Mary Jane marriage back into continuity and also bring back their long lost child May Parker who was seemingly stolen by Norman Osborn at birth and never seen again.
Removing the marriage between Peter Parker and Mary Jane was one of the weakest stories Marvel has told in the last ten years. It was an unnecessary step to get the character back to being younger and having The Devil do it felt so unlike anything Peter Parker would ever do. The possibility that in the new status quo of the 616 Universe next year we will have Peter Parker back with Mary Jane, slightly older and the father of May Parker again actually has me really excited. By having Peter Parker with a family again and older it could also be a subtly indirect confirmation Miles Morales will be coming over to the 616 Universe and he will be the younger Spider-man.
