Just one ( Gibbon) went from an obscure character, to one who may be mentioned positively a Decade from now. I suspect Spencer has plans to see many of them between now and issue 50 instead of being bogged down with Kindred. The return of Doc Ock comes to mind, and I am sure will take a couple of issues, I would also like to see Mr. Negative return. This in addition to the baddies I mentioned before. Shocker, Scorpion and Rhino.
On that note, I wouldn't be surprised if Superior Spider-Man ended the way it did to set up a Doctor Octopus arc.
