From Avengers Assemble #11. The team is up against some kind of biological bacteria thing that Bruce Banner accidentally ingested. He's had to become the Hulk strictly for the sake of keeping his insides from exploding and as the Hulk, the constant pain has turned him murderously violent. He's being contained in the same cage from the Avengers movie. The bacteria has been inserted into a water supply and is about to be introduced to a nearby village. Iron Man has a plan to stop it.

What's the plot resolution to that gem of an idea?

The only non-terrible reason I could think of is if they use the abandoned "spider shaman" thing from the JMS story lines that was written out as soon as someone new took over. Bringing back Parker as the totemic manifestation of the Spider would let them explore new ground with the Ultimate stories rather then rehashing old Marvel stories. Plus I can't think of any good Ultimate comics that ever did magic well.

If Ult. Peter comes back it'll probably get treated like the Gwen resurrection "You're a clone with all the memories? Well then you're Gwen by every meaningful messure"

Plus I can't think of any good Ultimate comics that ever did magic well. See I always thought they should have used that idea to explain Miles getting his powers. Right now Miles origin is the stock spider bite, dead uncle bit. The idea that Anasazi is out there giving power to the downtrodden to see how they handle it, and with Miles being a minority, opens up a lot of powerful storyline possibilities. Even if they don't want to go that way, just having it as an option would be better.

They still can. Maybe even put in a line like "What, did you really think that getting your powers the exact same way Peter Parker did was a coincidence?"

This is just more of the same story I posted earlier, but I do love when JJJ is all upstanding and poo poo so I'll post it anyway. Here's a little further back when Betty Brant is trying to sell Jameson the story.  Ultimate Spider-Man #16.1 (It's kind of interesting in that Brant almost did crack the case. But it doesn't matter because at the end of the issue Venom kills her. Ohhhh wellll.) e: thumbnailed for table-breakin'

Is that the same reporter that interviewed Captain America and told him his point of view was irrelevant because he didn't know what Facebook, and NASCAR were? If so I hate that character even more.

You've got to be loving kidding if you think superheroes using silly powers in a comic book to save lives is "lame". My point about it being "lame" is here's this poignant moment where Hulk volunteers to sacrifice himself to be a hero and save a few thousand(?) people. And then in swoops Thor, all "You stupid green bitch. Just stand there like an idiot while I use my Thunder God powers to just move all the water out of the way. Nah, don't sweat it, Captain Marvel's going to fly it into the sun or something. Oh? Tony said this was the only way? Yeah, he bet me he could get you to jump because you're a big dummy. I guess I owe him $10. C'mon let's get you cleaned up" The writer built up this meaningful action and then just threw it to the wayside. Yes, I know that big stupid explanations and super powered muscle men are the fun part of these comics. And I know they wouldn't have killed him off anyway, but let him have his moment and then resolve it away with "Oh, Ant-man shrunk down and rounded up a posse of nanobots, they're inside you right now destroying the poison atom by atom. You did good."

Oh I kind of loved Winter Soldier and while it might just be because it's finished so recently, I want to say it's my favourite thing he's done with Marvel. The first Daredevil arc in the prison was fantastic but it was just diminishing returns for me after that. Winter Soldier sustains its energy for the entire 14/15 issues in a way DD and Cap and X-Men (ahahaha) don't. e: art was cool as gently caress too
