That little section between new avengers and one more day where Peter was treated as a guy who had seen, done and fought everything was a really nice stint of Peter getting the respect he deserves from the hero community, A.K.A. distancing himself from readers gotta fix it!

There's only one Mojoverse, but there can be and have been multiple Mojos.

See? Simple.

The premise of the question is flawed "Why is there an intrinsic part of the universe keeping balance between life and death in every alternate universe but only one reality TV presenting fat jaundiced guy with robo-spiderlegs?"

Yeah in the last issue while he was on the run they actually injured him pretty decently and then started hunting him like an animal before he brought in the literal Iron Man suit, so he's being a little more unhinged than usual and lashing out.

That and they brought up the whole changeling thing both making fun of Tony and reminding him they are a bunch of sadistic dicks that murder children to replace them with their own offspring.

New Avengers #20 Cover which is badass in itself



For all the crap the rest of them get people should really remember that Dr. Strange probably the worst person in the Illuminati, his pre-origin story is basically a solid decade of looking dying people in the eye and saying "gently caress you, I want another Benz that I'm not even going to drive."

Sorry, being a weapons manufacturer is way worse. At least Strange occasionally saved lives while being a raging prick.

Tony was killing numbers on a board, Namor is mentally ill, Reed is just a know it all jerk.

Dr. Strange looked people in the eye as he crushed the last hope they had in the world and then went skiing, that's the kinda cold that sets your path to redemption as fighting primordial evils and multiuniversal threats then jobbing for decades.

The whole storyline where they got killed was negated via Dr. Strange, so it never happened.

But the new Iron Fist series ignores pretty much the Brubaker & Fraction run so, maybe.

Also it's crap.

The inscription hammer has also said "Whosoever holds this hammer, if they be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor." for a few years, not that anybody remembers or that the gendered pronoun matters considering Jane Foster/Thordis predates a big old chunk of stuff.

Apparently, Thor never read the fine print on his hammer. It clearly says, "...if HE be worthy..." Women are exempted from having to be worthy to wield the power of Thor. Lawyered.

In the current F4,rhe Richards have been kicking out of New York and their children taken away because of, oh, dangerous physics experiments like portals to the Negative Zone.

A series of events so common and derivative for the FF it produced a collective sigh and sales to drop low enough that Marvel can justify canceling the book.

Reed Richards does little more then get punished by the government/sued by people when Hickman isn't writing the FF.

Firelord is a former Herald of Galactus, so he's got access to the Power Cosmic and theoretically is much stronger than Doom/X-Men/the FF. It's like Spidey beating Silver Surfer or whatever.

Firelord and all the other heralds that came after Surfer have significantly less access to The Power Cosmic by design as Galactic didn't/doesn't trust them after Surfer's betrayal. They have even less then that once de-heralded.

Fact is all heralds except Silver Surfer are chumps even with The Power Cosmic and Spidey beat the chumpiest of them by the skin of his teeth.
