Marvel teases shocking revelations about Spider-Man's family ahead of Amazing Spider-Man #1000
A new character, Peter Parker's "cousin" Crane, has unknown Parker parentage tied to DNA evidence
Theories swirl: Is Peter really May and Ben's son, or does the cousin have secret connections?
Comic hints and animated Spider-Man show may converge, shaking up Spider-Man's origin story

New information for folk following the current gossip about Marvel Comics changing Peter Parker's parental lineage or familial status. But first, a recap. Bleeding Cool has been covering in a few articles the lead-up from Marvel Comics to Amazing Spider-Man #1000 and how it seems to include revelations about Peter Parker's family. The most recent Amazing Spider-Man #267 (legacy number #990) saw the Torment/Carnage team-up target Peter Parker's first cousin as part of Torment's genetic family serial killing spree, targeting individuals and killing off their family from the most distant to the closest, including family trees they may not be aware of.

Which is how we meet a man that Torment calls Peter Parker's cousin. Peter Parker does not have a male cousin, not by blood, at least. In his only appearance, his adoptive aunt's nephew, Sam Reilly, was obsessed with whether there was a free buffet. But it's not this guy.

Spider-Man editor Nick Lowe posted to social media, "Not only is it climactic "Death Spiral" but there is a big moment you will not want to miss that will reverberate. "The Mark Bagley 'Spoiler' cover for that issue showed the figure being targeted, featuring this man. Oh yes, and here's the one for this week's issue as well, with Eddie Brock, as well as Spider-Man and Mary Jane/Venom in the target, the central figures in Torment's three Death Spirals.
>>
And then an upcoming issue of Amazing Spider-Man #31 has been labelled "The Talk" and cover with Aunt May in a chair, with Uncle Ben behind her. And tellign us "Patrick Gleason joins Kelly for "THE TALK." Just in time for AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1000, Peter Parker's world is turned upside down with one of the biggest reveals in Spider-Man history. Don't miss this pivotal story that leads directly into AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1000 and beyond"

Is the Mysterious Cousin to be revealed as a child that either May or Ben had together before Peter? Or had separately with another party? A child who was adopted, or believed to be dead, and never mentioned? Maybe when they were teenagers? And he is Peter Parker's biological cousin? Or will it be revealed that Peter Parker is their actual biological child? And this cousin is an unrevealed child of Peter Parker's presumed parents, Richard and Mary Parker? Could it even be that Aunt May and Richard Parker are Peter Parker's biological parents after an affair, and it was all covered up?

Because, and here's where that new information comes in. Bleeding Cool has received the word, confirmed from multiple sources, that the cousin in question, who certainly appears older than Peter Parker, with the grey streaks in his hair, has the surname Crane. He is a New Yorker. And one of his biological parents is identified by DNA as having the surname "Parker". May, Ben, Richard, Mary or Theresa? That we don't know. That's all we have. But it is enough to foster much conjecture.
>>
We previously mentioned Trouble, a five-issue series by Mark Millar, Terry and Rachel Dodson in 2003, marketed as a potential new origin story for Peter Parker, featuring the teenage versions of Peter Parker's adoptive parents, Aunt May, Uncle Ben, and Peter Parker's biological parents, Richard and Mary Parker. In which May and Richard have an affair, May gets pregnant, has the child, Peter, only to be raised by Richard and Mary as their own joint biological child. It was pointed out that the characters were too young when this happened to fit Marvel continuity, but maybe not if that child isn't Peter Parker but an older "cousin".

The Marvel Cinematic Universe, however, had a far younger Aunt May and, presumably, Uncle Ben. If the comics were to swerve into reflecting that reality, as they have done in the past, might that change that timeline? And there's one more thing.

In the Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man animated TV show, which reflects much of the movie continuity, including a younger Aunt May Parker, Richard Parker appears at the end of the final episode, alive, incarcerated for an unknown crime, and being visited in jail by Aunt May, with whom he seems to have a familiar relationship, and asking about his son. Season two is expected soon. Might this also tie in with the current Amazing Spider-Man comic book continuity, somehow, as well?

It's what MJ did, Rich is a fag.

It's just a Jackal clone like when Peter's dad showed up in 1610 Ultimate Spider-Man.

Where's the 'scoop', Rich? This is all shit we already knew and you trying to get people to care about current day Marvel shit which you may as well try to get an erection from Neil Patrick Harris using Nicki Minaj for all the good it will do you
>>
>>153323995
It's actually insane how committed Marvel is to never writing another good Spider-Man story ever again.
>>
>>153324322
Kelly's run is good. It's not as good as Spencer, but it's better than Wells and Slott.
>>
>>153324322
There is nothing more satisfying than taking something good, something beautiful, something that people love, and ruining it right in front of them just to see the looks on their stupid faces and laugh at them for caring about it in the first place. The high is better than snorting coke and fucking twin supermodels.

>i don't read spider-man comics but i am going to pretend like 90% of them aren't trash
>>
>>153324367
Oh no, the goal is 100% trash. We'll serve up shit and you'll eat it whether you like it or not. In fact, we'd prefer that you don't like it, because it's more satisfying to make you eat it anyway. Get with the program. We're in a glorious new world of unapologetically nihilistic sadism.
>>
>>153324396
Are you pretending not to understand my post, or are you just retarded? Spider-Man is 90% crap and always has been 90% crap.
>>
>>153324416
And that's still 10% below the goal.

Watch DC Burying Marvel FOREVER after ASM 1000 by giving DC fans what they wanted for years and the biggest sin DC did undone.

Rich goes about it all wrong no one cares about the secret cousin, he should be focusing on engagement clicks of the marywhorekekbros...
>>
>>153325042
He's trying so hard to get people to give a shit about current Amazing Spider-Man but it's an uphill battle, or as Blade says, some motherfuckers always trying to ice-skate uphill

Is the cbr tard here again
>>
>>153323995
>Is Peter really May and Ben's son
No, unless I missed something and/or Trouble is canon, his parents are Richard and Mary.
>>
>>153325019
>giving DC fans what they wanted for years
I think I know what you're referring to, but I'm still not buying it.
Feels too good to be true, I think it's a fake out.

>>153325276
DiDio is gone as all of Harras and Nelson's taint.
And Johns would had pulled the trigger on that if they didn't gang up to fire him for undoing Wally's miserable fate and Flashpoint OMD.

poland needs to be nuked from orbit or sunk to hell itself
>>
>>153324012
I guess this is why chasm never gets his memories back. They wanted to push Ben reilly into this villain character that's no longer Peter's brother because now they have the uncle Ben child to do that . I give it a couple of months before this guys somehow gets spider powers.

polandball??? wrong image???
>>
>>153325369
last tag meant >>153325354 because CBR is full on wanting to see marvel burn for not undoing OMD and praising DC hard.
Also the polack is in fact the borutoshill from /a/, he lost his shit when someone mentioned that Boruto is as worse than modern spiderman and he went to derail the thread out of rage
>>
Poland über alles
>>
>>153325508
I haven't used CBR since like 2006. There's this weird lore to Spider-Man threads on /co/ with Poland and pedophiles that I have no idea about but it'd be nice if we could have Spider-Man threads again without it

In retrospect the Torment bullshit was leading up to Parker family BS but goddamn, no one fucking gives a fuck. Why waste the big 1000th issue on such a stupid fucking thing?
>>
>>153324347
Spencer was shit and kelly was just the space stuff good.
>>
>>153325750
who's this semen demon?
>>
>>153325774
Explain how Spencer is shit without trotting out actions that were clearly done by Marvel and forced upon him like the Kindred mystery being stretched out or the ending being nonsensical when that as well is something Marvel or Nick Lowe is to blame for.

>OMD clique: Yeah, the marriage should be erased because it doesn't fit Spider-man and age him too much

>>153325719
It's basically Marvel employees trying to fill up a thread and then claim it has "engagement"
>>
>>153324347
I wouldn’t go as far as to say it’s good but it has been decent I suppose. Maybe it’s decent solely in comparison with what came before sure but that’s not saying much. And he doesn’t really get points for not having a central point of his run shitting on MJ and bringing up and awkward cuckolding situation partially based on his own relationship. Thing is I’m just not sure who this is for anymore. There isn’t enough here for old fans to want to read, it’s not action filled enough t get kids to read and it’s not sexy enough to get teens to read it.
>>
>>153326484
Marywhore is irrelevant anon, that's not a factor
>>
>>153325250
For the moment they are, but I have no doubt they'd be stupid enough to make Trouble canon at this point
>>
>>153325250
May was never pregnant, but Ben certainly cheated.
>>
>>153327478
>May was never pregnant, but Ben certainly cheated.
Wrong may did get pregnant, since harry fucked her think this a shipost? THINK AGAIN your jaw will drop in shock once you read Amazing Spider-Man #31. And the bigger shock will be for you when you find out who revived Harry here is a clue to his idenity it's a person you least suspect
>>

Wonder if this has anything to do with Mr Grasso
>>
>>153323995
Why is he doing the “nothin at all” pose?
>>
>>153329221
Cause it's a commentary on how nothing happens in ASM
>>
So either Ben and May has a secret child which makes zero sense because we've had countless instances of her own inner monologue talking about never having children, or one of them cheated on the other to have a secret child which is character assassination to the wildest degree.
There's no scenario where this ends up being a satisfying story. Hell, we already got our secret family member bullshit with Theresa, and if they really need Peter to have a brother Ben AND Kaine are both right there
>>
>the big #1000 headline is Uncle Ben was a cheater
ASM is beyond parody.
>>
>>153329428
Would it work if there was a secret third Parker brother outside of Ben and Richard and this guy is his son?
>>
>>153329496
It's the least-bad way to do it, but it's still a shitty plotline.
>>
>>153329428
>There's no scenario where this ends up being a satisfying story
There’s no story thought out. It’s just like with Paul. They decide they want to do something that’ll piss fans off without any thought to a pay off or even where the story’s going to go. Again, look at all the shit with Paul. He gets introduced knowing it’ll piss fans off. What was the pay off to that story? What even was the -resolution- to that story? There wasn’t any. It just dragged on for a couple years until Paul was unceremoniously killed off. And I guarantee whatever this is leading to is going to be the same thing.
>>
>>153329579
I can at least see what they wanted to accomplish with Paul. With that they were trying to undo Spencer's stuff and take MJ back off the board (and salt the earth to try and get no one asking for her to come back).
I don't know what the point is here outside of having a twist for twist's sake.
>>
>>153329579
Will he get bitten by a radioactive bird or construction equipment, become Spider-Man's new sidekick, and then sacrifice himself in a fight against some big guy?
>>
>>153329608
Yeah I mean I get that but that’s not a story that’s just editorial being cunts. And that’s the problem is they’re not thinking in terms of story just whatever will get fans mad at that moment. They want to take a baseball bat to the TV to get everyone else in the room to jump up and go “what the fuck are you doing??” to get that reaction but then don’t consider how they’re going to watch TV after

There’s one way to make it interesting, make Crane his last name and his first Frasier
>>
>>153325750
I mean short of undoing OMD (lmao) no one will give a fuck about anything they do. Another Parker is interesting in theory but in practice they're already go about it wrong, like usual
>>
>>153325774
The space stuff has easily been the worst part of his run. This is waek bait.
>>
>>153330334
Toss up with the run opener for me. God, that was bad.
>>
>>153329467
>>153327478
Not really.
Ben was raped so there's no cheating.
>>
>>153323995
LMAO. Who fucking cares this shit? Is he going to turn out to be a fucking robot like Peters Parents?
>>
>>153329702
Only if Niles is part of the package
>>
torment escapes and the first thing peter does is go after marywhore, he's just going straight for the kill and eddie is the one who has to put him down with the gauntlets or else he'd have killed her then and there, editorial really hates our marywhorekekbros...
>>
>>153331993
Fuck back to the boruto threads
>>
>>153332209
it's just what happens marywhorebros, no special bond between them at all helping solve the situation just eddie with shocker's weapon....
>>
>>153325019
They haven't debooted to pre-Flashpoint what are you talking about?
>>
>>153329428
Ben slept with a woman during a period where he and May were separated but did not know the woman ever had a child who is this guy. Easy peasy and really stupid because nobody is going to care about this.
>>
We have spoilers MJ/Venom kill Torment
>>
we also get Paul on the front page of the daily bugle Paulchads keep winning
>>
>>153332544
that is death metal, i am talking about the very thing everyone hates DiDio for it and wants it gone
>>
>>153325750
If it was an original idea maybe people would care but we've already seen peters parents brought back, an "unknown" sister, etc. Who gives a fuck about another family member
>>
>>153332569
so she really is trash
>>
>>153332611
Lol why do they give this character so much real estate?
>>
>>153332937
Slow news day and the DB only bothers with Spider-Man related stories in Spider-Man stories?
>>
>>153332853
It'll be worth it if the new one turns out to be a robot as well.
>>
>>153332953
I meant generally.
>>
Peter already has Teresa as a secret sister. That's really all that's needed.
>>
>Baseline
>Blond one
>Amped up powers one
>The fucking weird one
Does that mean Spidercide is the Adam-X of Spider-Man clones?
