The way I remember it, the Kingpin switched up the last part of the names of the Forgotten American Warriors and the Insidious Six.

Just paraphrasing here, but I think it was something along the...

My theory as to why the creators brought him back is that I think that there was a general idea regarding the status quo of the franchise at the time of his return, and that certain elements had to...

Would you be able to PM me what he said? I'm kind of curious.

So what you're saying is that you don't deny that's what happened?

Good to know!

What did he say?

Honestly, if they were to do it, I have a suspicion that it's return would be handled with all the grace and care that OMD took with getting rid of it in the first place. It would just be back,...

The way I look at it- if Hal Jordan can come back from being a mass murdering psychopath, if Barry Allen can come back from the dead after being disintegrated in Crisis on Infinite Earths, if Bucky...

Didn't Flash go from being Peter's bully, to Peter's friend, and then a soldier in the US Army?

And didn't Gwen go from being Peter's tormentor who couldn't care less? to his girlfriend who...

Which are usually done to promote a project. Creators aren't going to come out and say that a project was changed considerably or had many editorial revisions.

Again, I'm not saying that this...

Except it didn't bring the board together. As you said, there was confusion and contradiction that eventually led to the dissolution of the project.

Nothing beyond heresay and "A friend of a friend" style rumors. But the "Life of Reily" blog- which detailed the behind the scenes goings on of the Clone Saga- does show that what is said to the...

Well, he has expressed a dislike for the marriage and in recent interviews seems to be rather disinterested in MJ's character as a whole. And going a point further, his recent treatment of Felicia...

Possibly. That does sound like the most reasonable and rationale explanation. And I'm certainly not going to say that isn't the case. Most likely, it is.

It's just that the history I've seen...

I assume nothing. But the story we are told is often not the story of what really happened.

From my experience, it did get messy. And Patrick even talked to me about how frustrated he was with the setup.

I could understand the appeal. However, at the time, the boards were a fairly...

I think it's not just the establishment that Peter has been Spider-Man for 13 years (Which would make him at least 28 years old, and the notion of him being "too young" to get married becomes...

But I can understand wanting a definite closure on whether or not Peter would return as Spider-Man. Because while the filmmakers may want a trilogy, there's never any definite assurance that there...

Or Slott wanted Superior to last longer, and Marvel wanted him to bring back Peter in time for the movie.

They could have also told him about the Spider-Verse in the upcoming Ultimate Spider-Man...

Eh, I don't know. I saw quite a few season 1 and 2 episodes, and they seemed to miss the boat on the character quite a bit. It seemed to press too hard on the notion that Spidey is supposed to be...

The way I interpret that, though, is that sort of humanity doesn't serve as the basis for Otto's redemption, but showcases how much of a villain he really is.

I'm reminded of the Doctor Who...

Because I knew- as it was set up- it would essentially devolve into what you said it did.

Because that never happens in mainstream comics.

I wouldn't mind Eddie Brock back as Venom.

That doesn't necessarily have to be "Superior Spider-Man: The End" comic. It could just be a "What If The Superior Spider-Man Did Kill Peter Parker?" That way there wouldn't be that reset button...

Isn't that how long term comics work anyway?
