There's a strange trend in this comic where everyone, regardless of how evil or irascible, seems to get along with Mary Jane. The Lizard even told her where he was going.

It's pity.

The Lizard: "I could dessstroy her! No, I've sssseen her husband. The poor woman has ssssuffered enough."

Plus, Mary Jane is pretty cool. Nobody has any reason to dislike her.

So with MJ leaving them, it's up to Bruce to defeat the Lizard on his own, and he can't Hulk out. Not great odds, but Bruce is smart, so if Spiderman doesn't get in his way too much, maybe he'll have a chance.

He feels like a very different character than any of the other Spideys, but I think that's kind of part of that stupid show's charm.

Somebody catch me up on who Iron Fist is

Quick summary....Iron Fist is a guy named Danny Rand. He learned martial arts from this mysterious Chinese martial arts master from an alternate dimension, and then, after killing an immortal dragon (Yes, I know), gained the power of the Iron Fist, which is like all the chi, which he can use to power his martial arts so he can punch anything.

We're going to get a solid week of Danny explaining this to Spider-man, you're wasting your posting powers.

Probably, but the time line of the comic will go something like this...

Week of Danny fighting the thugs, week of the FBI agent starting to run away, week of Peter explaining to the cab driver why he wants to go to the Bugle, week of the driver and Peter arguing over directions, week of the cab being caught in traffic and Peter trying to decide whether to walk the rest of the way, week of Peter trying to figure out if he should tip the guy because the guy didn't even take him to the destination, week of Peter and the driver arguing over the tip, week of the fleeing FBI agent knocking over Peter with Iron Fist in pursuit, week of Peter changing to Spiderman to figure out what's going on, week of Spiderman. And Iron Fist fighting because Spiderman thinks Danny a bad guy trying to kidnap the FBI guy, and then finally the two of them teaming up, where we get Danny's backstory.

So that takes us to August before we even get it.

Someone quote the article peter wrote plz, am on mobile.

It's in the first post, but here it is.

quote:

IRONFIST
by Peter Parker

A masked man brought another man to a hospital last night. The other man was an FBI agent. The masked man had saved him from an attack by some other other men. These other men were bad men, according to sources. The masked man did not attack the agent and then bring him to the hospital, as initially suspected by some sources.

The masked man is called IronFist, because he has a fist that is really hard (reports say it also glows and cuts up webs somehow so those are useless against it so don't even try that). Anonymous sources say you should not punch him in the fist if you are punching him, which you shouldn't be because he was not one of the bad men who attacked the FBI agent. You might think at first he is a bad man and then you will start to fight him, and perhaps he will think the same thing about you and will start to fight you, but eventually you both will realize you are both not bad men and stop fighting, according to sources. But if you punch him really hard directly in the fist it will really hurt your hand a lot is the point sources are making.

That case of mistaken identity thing described above is exactly what happened between IronFist and Spider-Man! They fought for a minute, but then realized they were both on the same side--the good one. They then saved the FBI agent from another attack by some other bad people (this time one was a woman), who then disappeared somehow and so did we, sources revealed.

After that, they considered teaming up, but then IronFist revealed his identity (he was NOT Danny Rand of the Wall Street Journal) to Spider-Man and said to team up Spider-Man had to reveal his, sources say.

As of this printing, Spider-Man refused to reveal himself because I had to protect my secret identity, according to sources I talked to as a reporter to get these facts.
