Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
Happy holidays, Murdstone, hope your family time's good.


My headcanon for this arc is that Magneto was hanging out with supervillains and they started complaining about how Spider-man's so easy to gently caress with but impossible to kill, so he decided he would show off by loving with him for hours upon hours and then kill him.

To be fair, it's kind of Daredevil's plan, from Daredevil V1#4, in another nod to Marvel Universe Continuity that apparently still did happen.

Still MJ remembered and implemented it, which is more than can be said for Peter. That said.. Yes, all the actual effective crimefighting was spearheaded by MJ. Pete just gave Killgrave a more effective patsy, MJ got the spider-tracer to track him down, hit Kilgrave in the throat with a pipe to shut him up, and got the specially-treated plastic blanket on him, twice. Definitely the MV(Watson-)P here.

It really is actually. It even works great in a comic strip format. Keeps the action and story going, doesn't waffle about in terms of trying to hide his identity, while also establishing how capable a fighter he is at this time. And it has the added layer of just being intentionally funny.

It's like, bafflingly good quality and so out of place in our beloved strip.

The number of these plots that could be quickly resolved if MJ just had a gun is really pretty high for a superhero strip.

I think there's certain points where the magnetic powers become a little show-off-y. Pulling a switch that you could just reach over and get was on the edge, but levitating a salad fork into your mouth is definitely past that point.

How else would you know it's Magneto? Maybe it's just some hobo in a Magneto wig. Magneto obviously saw what happened to Spider-man in the alley and is taking precautions. :smug:



It's also infinitely hilarious to me that Magneto treats Spider-man to a diner in a restaurant fully in costume and after chasing people off with his powers.

the thing that gets me, moreso than Magneto using his powers on a fork or them both being in costume (magneto is totally wearing his outfit under teh coat, but at least he left the helmet back home), is that Peter is being treated by a supervillain to a fancy restaurant dinner... but all he's getting out of it is a big bowl of spring mix. and a bread roll it seems. not even like chicken in that salad it seems.

I can't remember where I read it, but it was about Dungeons & Dragons and how every game devolves from "Lord of the Rings" to "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" because wizards do things like turn people into balloons. Basically, imagine all the dumb rear end in a top hat things we do already with computers, and add magic to that

I nearly passed out because I thought Magneto broke and used his powers on a tree branch before I realized it's supposed to be a rail.

For as stupid as Peter and Magneto are, I'm kinda glad they Magneto laid it thick enough and also realized he did exactly that.

It's been said before, but Spider-Man's real power is anyone who hangs around him for too long becomes as dumb as he is.

The NSM-verse seems to be wildly inconsistent about exactly how much pre-established history there is from comic to comic.

In the Purple Man storyline, both Peter and Luke Cage seem to be utterly flabbergasted by the fact that A: there's a purple man, and B: he has mind control powers. Meanwhile Kilgrave immediately knows who they both are and what they're capable of within seconds of recovering from total amnesia. Then MJ saves the day by pulling out a special bedsheet designed to perfectly counter Kilgrave's powers from a previous conversation with Daredevil, which Peter claims to have been present for.

MJ haven't suffered that many blows to the head so she, unlike Peter,is able to retain memories.
