It wouldn’t take much for me to buy that Ben had access to all his previous DNA samples when he took over being The Jackal and since we’re heading back to NuU...
Soul shmoul. That whole storyline needs to be immediately retconned. Marvel has conveniently forgotten more important plot developments in order to make a story work.
True. Seems kind of weird that MC2, cartoon, and 616 are the only Anyas, and 65 and the cartoons are the only worlds whose Gwen is a spider (a couple of others have her as a villain, a lot have her dead or just a civilian).

That's what I love about it, by that final arc Latour and the crew really play around with the "meta"-ness of who Gwen/Spider-Gwen are, and we get some really creative and also even profound regarding the nature of destiny.
Well there is no "Multiversal Uncle Bens", but that story does have an Uncle Ben who gets Spider powers alongside Petey, who becomes just really not helpful and just a very neurotic kid. It's actually an incredibly good issue and definitely worth checking out.
By making it the vocal point of a massive cosmic-level time/space traversing cabal, it takes what was a grounded tragedy and makes a big mockery of it's significance. It's become a macabre cartoon come to life, and it furthers Gwen's ongoing descent into a "Saintly" caricature who ought to be preserved at all costs.
I feel this sort of thing belongs in Steven Moffat era Doctor Who, not Spider-Man.
