The spider is always on the hunt.
Weird that they wouldn't make this part of the hook for new readers. What's with the bait and switch?

I think in the past they went with the idea of a daughter because it's an immediate distinction from Spider-Man, a way to explore similar themes from a different point of view. With a son there's more of a risk the character could end up too similar to Peter, or at least be perceived that way.
Nah, spoilers:end of spoilers
Millie the Model ran 207 issues, with several spinoffs.
Well, Im not interested anymore.

To be fair, they’ve actually lessened this lately. Marvel introduced a bunch of new Asian heroes with Aero, Wave, Crescent, White Fox and Luna Snow and not one is a legacy character. It would’ve been so easy to have any of them ride the coattails of another, but they didn’t.
Well, Aero has the codename of one depowered X-Men student (Melody Guthrie) and the pretty much the same powers as another (Wind Dancer), but yeah, she's not actually related to them in any way, I doubt the NetEase guys knew about the X girls.
I think what should've been said there is that Mayday's book is Marvel's longest running female superhero title. That would disqualify Millie the Model as she's a slice of life character.
