Please tell me Mole Man's last name is actually man, and his full name is Melvin Man

I keep forgetting that Aunt May actually really likes Mole Man and was only stopped from marrying him because of her bad lungs. The previous Mole Man arc was really just Spiderman doing his best to stop a relationship between two consenting adults.

It's always been like this. It's supposed to go into newspapers, so that gives the newspaper guys a lot of room to cut and rearrange the layout. Same reason why the first row is always some recycled stuff that can simply be cut entirely without losing anything.

In "proper" continuity his name isn't even Melvin.

Maybe this will be like the Dr. Octopus mind-swap story from the regular comics and Mole Man will become the Subterranean Spider-Man.

What really weirds me out is that this is newspaper-specific continuity and that they're actively using it. I kind of expect anything that happens in Newspaper Spider-man to disappear into the ether once the next story starts. Also, Aunt May is so happy to see Mole Man

I kind of expect anything that happens in Newspaper Spider-man to disappear into the ether once the next story starts. It seems like this has always been the case. I took out a copy from the library of the first couple years of newspaper strips over the weekend, and there are some nods to comic continuity (the second story involves Doc Ock and Aunt May having had a history) but there's all sorts of stuff about MJ leaving town and Pete dating other random girls. I'll see if I can scan a bit of it. Might be a challenge because all the comics are printed horizontally for some reason. One great thing it has is the original trial submissions from when Stan and John Romita were pitching the strip. It looks like he did those before Gwen Stacy was killed, so we almost ended up with an alternate newspaper continuity where Gwen was alive, which would have been crazy as hell. Also, the Sunday throwaway panels have literally been the same since the comic started in 1977.

In the Ultimate universe, Mole Man's name was Arthur Molekovic, so a rare situation where a character created in the 60's has a less on the nose name than a character from the 2000s.

To be really generous to Peter, it is a leap to guess Mary Jane would fly her aunt-in-law cross-country for a TV interview.

Yesss we're teaming up with Mole Man. Bless you Newspaper Spiderman. Mover posted:Now to find out if we're dealing with Tyrannus, Son of Mole Man, or something decidedly more odd and Newspaper Spider-Manish I'm sorry but I have a problem with Mole Man having a son because that implies he's ever successfully touched a woman.

Mole Man's son is named Mole Monster, and he is an actual half-man half-mole creature. But he first appeared in 2013 so there's no way in hell he shows up in NSM. e: Oh I misread that as Tyrannus, the Son of Mole Man. Yeah I'd put money on it being some sort of Deviant.

What if the mole people held a fair, democratic election and chose one of their own in a bid for self-governance. But it turns out Mole Man is backed by the CIA

Most likely it's Tyrannus as he's another Stan the Man creation. Outside chance of the FF showing up towards the end of the arc to bat cleanup and tell Peter what a fuckup he is.

So they're tying this into a plot from Nova's book, 3 years ago? That is the most Newspaper Spider-Man-y timing ever since that plot point is forgotten and the series in question is cancelled in a week.
