I don't see what killing off Peter's only living relative would add to the story to be honest. E: It's kinda like saying Batman would be better if they killed off Alfred. Lurdiak fucked around with this message at 05:55 on Oct 30, 2020 |

I think people just want change to the status quo, which is rare, and May's continued existence serves as a reminder of OMD and just how much Big Two comics will bend over backwards to fight against that. Like, i didn't care much for Peter becoming Iron Man Jr. and running his own corporation after Secret Wars but it didn't last for long and then after Secret Empire you're telling me this CEO is loving broke and unemployed and has to share an apartment with 2 other dudes... because Spider-Man must always be broke.

Killing Aunt May is an obvious nonstarter because they've done it before and it didn't stick so nobody would expect it to stick this time. Sending her off into space is fun, but it kinda goes against the whole street level thing Spider-Man has going for him, if his family is off galivanting in space and making friends with the Skrull king or whatever. Plus, it won't last, she comes back, status quo reset. So the obvious solution is to simply de-age Aunt May. No more elderly aunt, instead an aunt that's like a couple years younger than Peter because of science or magic. What kind of antics will she get into? Maybe she gets her own book about her adventures.

What I'd do is expose her to Pym Particles so she becomes Ant-May.

Even in a fantasy universe of wish fulfillment I find it hard to believe there'd be any correlation between someone's intelligence and their economic status. That's simply not how capitalism operates.

I like to think that despite having more money than god could spend in 3 lifetimes even Tony Stark can’t afford being tied to Peter’s next explosive failure.

Stark Industries probably owns a lot of real estate, they could just give him a sweetheart deal on rent for some little hole in the wall where he could open a camera shop. There's a niche for old fashioned film cameras

The original Iron Man armor has been stolen, sold or destroyed at least 12 times. During the Fraction run it was clearly shown that he had just junk suits left over and they were cannibalized for parts to build Rescue. But when Bendis started he had dozens of old suits sitting around again.

Yeah it wasn't just Bendis. I think towards the end of the original series during THE CROSSING they showed an armory full of suits that shouldn't have existed anymore and it pops up again in Dark Reign. I guess Tony builds three or four copies of every billion dollar suit.

Yeah, Tony having a seemingly inexhaustible well of copies of his older armors is, for whatever reason, a decades-old trait. The first Iron Man comic I ever bought was #159, from 1982, where he's fighting the old FF villain Diablo the alchemist. At one point, Diablo turns a good half-dozen of Tony's old suits into golems and sends them after him, so he's forced to trash every last one.

Who would ever do a run on Iron Man, and not have a scene involving the hall of armors? It’s like his batcave.

And then like a year and a half later when Rhodey took over, a ton of the old suits got dumped into the ocean and stolen by Krang for his army. The amount of suits he has and their whereabouts change like every 5 minutes and always have.

I imagine one of the most fun parts of making an Iron Man comic is coming up with new suits so I can't really be upset that they keep adding more or bringing them back even if it does completely undermine more than a few stories.
