Amazing Spider-Man #40 (Preview)

[Frontier]

To be fair, at least after the Parkers Industries stuff, you can understand why most people would more easily buy Peter and Spider-Man as just "close friends"/"business partners" rather than the same guy. The gene splicing incident earlier this run also helps things. It's not perfect, like people have mentioned it's the same thing with alot of other superheroes, but its at least something semi-plausible.

The real question is you would think there would be more villains who would try to use "Peter" to get at "Spider-Man", since that's the one connection everyone is certain about. Though to give them credit, that does seem to be exactly what Chameleon is doing now anyway.

This reminds me of the 90's show where people assumed Peter and Spider-Man were really close, and there were actually a few episodes where people used Peter to try to get to Spider-Man, but whenever Spidey actually talked about Peter in front of someone it sounded like he hated Parker and was one-step away from throttling him .

Oh, yeah. I remember. Fun times. Clever way to throw someone off the track.
