Spider-man: King of the Moloids, would be a hell of a diversion for the strip to take.

I mean Melvin didn't have an Uncle Ben to tell him that great power comes with great responsibility. He can just gently caress off back to the surface with his conscience totally clear. Meanwhile, Spider-Man is responsible for propping up Tyrannus when he easily could have let him die. He must lead the moloid rebellion.

If the story does not end with Moleman marrying May, maybe we can complain enough that they will write another story to rectify it, like the time the strip ended its Brand New Day reboot after the Electro arc.

May's death in the clone saga of the print Spider-Man comic was very well done and the high point of the saga (not that's hard, but still). And she shouldn't have been brought back later on.

It was right at the start of it (ASM #400). There’s even a nice parallel of Peter crying on her deathbed surrounded by his loved ones while Ben has to grieve alone on the rooftop. ... To this day I don’t get why they brought her back - I don’t think Quesada had enough pull at that point , but I could be wrong - it was a perfect sendoff.

No, no. There's a solution we're all missing. The moloids need an intelligent leader. A moral leader. A man of peace. A leader familiar with Melvin, and has demonstrated the ability to hang out underground without having coughing fits. Nameless priest for Mole King. Fale edit: Or Mole Man just commutes underground a few hours a day. It's clearly pretty easy to get a tunnel made.

Peter, that is loving diabolical. I wouldn't be surprised if he convinces Moleman to stay underground, and then goes back up and tells Aunt May ''uh, yeah, he died in combat, he said to tell you he never loved you''

"Here lies Moleman. He served his country well, but never scored." The better solution would be Peter staying to lead the moloids, they need a hip new ruler that can lead them into a bright new era.

Also mole man seems to think his former subjects don't have actual sentience so maybe he really shouldn't rule over them.

I bet Melvin (I still think it's kind of weird that he's Melvin here but Harvey in the 616, but ~*alternate universes*~ I guess) stays, his kingdom is overrun by Tyrranoids, and he has to get Spidey to help again. Repeat forever.

Let's face it, Mole Man not getting to marry Aunt May is such an untwist it makes a Slinky straight, but I'm annoyed that the mechanism is 'Spider-Man talks Melvin into staying and looking after the moloids' instead of 'Melvin decides he can't abandon the moloids'. I mean, wasn't Spidey supporting the marriage not too long ago? I thought it was the colorist who couldn't remember what yesterday's strip was!

Spider-man isn't against the marriage, he's just really pro-slavery.
