Amazing Spider-Man #602

So basically, the Chameleon's back in town. Now he's sadistically dipping people into acid after taking their identities away from them. He wants to infilitrate Mayor Jonah's inner circle, so he kidnaps Peter Parker (who's working for Jonah at the moment.)

Meanwhile, Chameleon is mimicking Peter's voice while spraying him in the face with some sort of adhesive(?) that makes a mask out of the face.

Anyone else getting a feeling of déjà vu?

And then there's Paul Jenkins' Webspinners arc where Chameleon went after MJ as Pete. So this makes it, what, the third time this has happened?

	Looks like by the end of this arc, Pete and MJ will at least be dating again, hopefully that'll satisfy some of the peeps here. Chameleon is such an underappreciated villain, he's so damn creepy when played right. Loving his Ra's Al Ghul robe too. (Reply to this) (Thread)

I doubt it.

Mary Jane Watson continues to play an important role in the “Red-Headed Stranger” arc after Fred Van Lente takes over the story with “Amazing” #602. The writer thinks bringing Mary Jane back is particularly compelling because of the unique dynamic it creates between her and Peter Parker. “She's interesting to have in the mix of Peter's life and in a superhero series in general in that she's the ex,” Van Lente explained. “She's someone who had a very serious and long term relationship with Peter for many years and it fell apart for reasons that remain mysterious. She still cares about him but she's also acutely aware of his flaws in a way that exes are. So they've got a terrific dynamic that's lots of fun to play with. It's something that wouldn't have occurred to me to be as cool as it ended up being.”

Not to mention one of Madame Web's visions of the future from #600 was Spidey kissing a blonde woman.

	Considering the next arc is a Black Cat one... Doubtful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Honestly, by now I wouldn't want BND Peter anywhere near MJ. He quite simply isn't good enough for her. He's too much of a slimey douchy loser to want him within ten foot of Mary Jane. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	won't happen. She probably has a better chance of ending up with harry at the end of the arc than she does of dating peter again with these writers (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Yeah because very violent acts and deaths never ever ever occured in Spider-Man before OMD. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
