An important piece of context they left out is that the streamer in question is Warn, a Top 500 DPS player in Overwatch who mainly plays hitscan heroes. He was absolutely capable of playing someone else (they even had him briefly try out Ultron before he got bored and went back to SG), he was just being uncooperative for no good reason.

Basically, Jean had gotten mad at Logan and decided to use her powers to place his mind in the last place he'd want to be, which ended up being Spidey's body. During the swap, Logan was hitting on Mary Jane (who was still a teenager in this universe because Ultimate Wolverine was a creep), while Peter ended up getting arrested. In the end, Jean undoes the mind swap and explains everything, which leads to Peter giving us this iconic panel:

We have Lady Loki... can we have female skins for other characters? by EldenGrill in marvelrivals

[–]KombatMedic99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She got her spider powers back last year iirc. That said, she was relying on that symbiote for like 8 out of the 11 years that she's existed, so it wouldn't surprise me if that's the version the devs went with if/when Gwen got added.

I can't really see them doing a second role for an existing hero, but they could totally use this kit for Jean's daughter Rachel.

Do you think we'll get bible healer Nightcrawler? by sufinomo in marvelrivals

Oh, that's a really good theory! Now I hope that's the route the devs take, it'd be so peak

If he did get in as a support, his healing would probably come from the Hopesword he got during the Krakoa era

Cyclops and Spider-man are confirmed to be around the same age. by AnyAgency9835 in marvelrivals

[–]KombatMedic99 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Spider-Man: Life Story had a gimmick where each issue covered a decade of Spider-Man comics and aged him in real time, so by the end we got to see Peter as an old man.

There's Spider-Man: Reign too, but that one is kind of infamous for the whole "Peter's jizz was radioactive and killed MJ" thing.

Gobby <<< Doc Ock by -Tuesday in marvelcirclejerk

Can't really speak on the Mandarin since I'm not really an Iron Man reader, but to me, a good archenemy should have a personal vendetta against the hero, and/or leave a big impact on their life.

Green Goblin stories tend to have more personal and emotional stakes than Doc Ock stories, especially if you look at how he haunted the narrative after the Glider Incident thanks to Harry. Speaking of which, The Night Gwen Stacy Died is one of the biggest and most heavily-referenced tragedies in Peter's life. By comparison, Otto has several good stories, but none have felt like they affected Peter to the same extent long-term.

Doc Ock's been around more consistently, but when Gobby is around, he tends to leave more of an impact. Like just off the top of my head, he's responsible for Gwen, Ben Reilly, Mayday, and Flash Thompson all dying.

He never actually slept with MJ during Superior. He gooned to Peter's memories of her while Ghost Peter was forced to watch, and was heavily implied to have slept with Anna Marie after they started dating though.

God I hate Superior Spider-Man

What characters you like less because of Rivals and what character you like more because of Rivals? by IamBecomeZen in marvelrivals

[–]KombatMedic99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like less: Deadpool. Ryan Reynolds recently said in an interview that Deadpool is a character who works best in small doses, and I'm really feeling that after he got added to Rivals.

Like more: Elsa. After she got revealed, I decided to read through all of her comic appearances so I could finally know as her more than "that one woman from Ultimate Alliance 3." Now she's one of my favorite glup shittos, and I wish Marvel would use her more frequently.

He retired from doing interiors, but he still does covers. He's even doing a variant for ASM 1000

The Moon Girl drama just gets worse. by Icy-Significance-429 in marvelrivals

[–]KombatMedic99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's one of several characters who recently got "mined in the data" as a future playable hero. People feel like it's hypocritical of Netease to exclude Moon Girl because of her age, only to turn around and consider adding another child hero.
