And they (briefly) followed the deal with Mephesto thing with Pete and MJ's marriage. Has the 616 get around to undoing that yet?

God no, the last thing 616 did with MJ, to my knowledge, is put her in Tony Stark's orbit. Has she done anything in the comics since Tony turned into a hologram?

She's been running Stark Whatever along with Tony's mom and his AI assistant Friday and is currently helping to search for Tony.

Yeah, plus years (decades!) of having been friends, then boyfriend/girlfriend and finally marriage. MJ was there for so much of what Peter went through, and her sticking around to support Peter after Gwen's death was a huge thing considering her character before then was "ditzy party girl".

Yes I'm still angry about that dumb retcon, especially since it was handled in such a ham-handed way.
Agreed. It was extra-lovely that they had the Ultimate line for a 'Spider-man kids could relate to' but that wasn't enough?

What's the excuse for MJ to dress up and go out to fight crime? Did she want to spend some time with Peter & May?

Yeah, there was some thing where it turned out he was adopted, so he searched out his birth parents, and discovered that they were undercover SHIELD agents who posed as musicians and were rather famous. So his birth mother is part of the Invincible Iron Man cast.

That's basically it. When Peter put the costume back on after the Secret Wars mini, MJ said they were going to fight crime as a family. So Peter made her a suit with built-in Regent tech that lets her siphon off some of his power to let her run with Peter and Annie.

connor's arm isn't regrowing. rather, it is growing a tiny hulk on the end of his arm.

Even if it is a standard Lizard story, NSM tends to have a way of making it more than the sum of its blood.

Well if it was regular Spider-man, he'd get a massive increase in agility, coordination, balance, and the use of spider-sense. But newspaper Spidey doesn't really have any of those...
