How about Mary Jane as Jackpot

Didn't care for any of those. The Iron Fist one was the closest to being alright.

Yeah, it's kind of weird marvel acts, in some ways, like MJ is an important character, when she's sort of an afterthought in the actual spider books now and has been since One More Day.

I assume the biggest reason is because people know about Mary Jane, making her an easy character to promote for something like this.

MJ is sooooo fucking boring. Give me Black Cat!!!!

You'll get Black Cat after Marvel is finished destroying fixing her...
I really wanted an spy-thief style Felicia Hardy Spider-woman story for Spiderverse, could have been fun. I mean, a thief with Spider-powers has so much potential

I like the idea of VenoMJ as a mini/series/more than just a variant. There's some interesting things they could do with that premise.

Would that Sorceress Supreme be named Dr. Watson perhaps? (Sherlock/MCU humor)

Punisher MJ, well...not the first time she shot a villain

MaryJaneVerse one-shot in 2018? :p

Has she done anything since that one time spiderman and iron man had an argument.



Who the fuck is jackpot?

The first one was a scientist that got powers from an experimental Parkinson's disease treatment, the batch was labeled "Lot 777", she superheroed a bit then retired. The second one knew the first one and had a crush on her, she used mutant stem cells to replicate the powers, but she died.

Spider-girl red and Spider-girl blue...haha

Did they ever confirm if Mayhem actually died? I tried to read all of Spider-girl, but Marvel unlimited was missing those issues.

better look at Mayhem.

Yes, anyone who has never read Gwenpool, go do it.

Gwen Poole is not Gwen Stacey, nor anything to do with Deadpool. She's just some girl from who lives in NYC. Not 616 NYC but the real NYC... apparently she's a real person who was a fan of Marvel comics, but then got sucked into the 616 Marvel Universe somehow!

So now she lives there, and her power is basically that she knows everyone's life story and secret identity. But she can't really fight or shoot or anything, in fact she's really bad at it all. She assumes that she's appearing in her own title and that as long as it doesn't get cancelled she's unkillable via plot armor. So that gives her some confidence.

But then she's dismayed to discover that say, strolling up to Thor and saying yo Jane whadup is actually a really bad idea and doesn't get her anything except an ass kicking. Just knowing who everyone is doesn't make her an Avenger. She discovers that she's actually a grade D nobody who pretty quickly gets conscripted into being a MODOK henchman.

Anyway, it's a good book with a nutty premise. Go read it!

There's also a hilarious bit at the beginning of her series about her lack of pants, haha.

The Jackpot stuff was just a mess. It's not MJ but we're going to make people think it's MJ even though it truly makes absolutely zero sense -- even using comic book logic -- that this person who is not MJ would look like MJ and have her entire persona based around MJ's most famous line in her history as a character.

Just bad.

The Punisher running around shooting demons wouldn't even be in the top 10 list of crazy shit that character's done.

Mary Jane being the Punisher? Eh, I'll get back to you on that.

Also, I'm not entirely sure yet, but she might have gone a little crazy from a particularly traumatic travel between universes. She doesn't really like to talk about it and the comic hasn't yet, so I don't know.

As someone who doesn't read superhero comics, I don't get it. Are they still cloning Mary Jane or something? Also why is this clone army of Mary Janes taking everyone else's jobs?

As Sartre noted in his contemplation on Hell in No Exit, the true horror is other members.
First time in a long time I got excited about some Venom art!

Seriously? Agent Venom is genuinely one of the best additions to the Spider-Man franchise in the past decade. Remender's run in the solo series and in Secret Avengers was fantastic.

As much as it'd suck for Mary Jane clones taking over the jobs of all those characters, I wouldn't be too against a Mary Jane clone taking over Carol Danvers' job.
