I wish that Marvel wasn't allowed to kill off the Ultimate Universe. The moment when Bendis was allowed to kill off Peter Parker. The brand was in a free fall when Marvel created the Ultimatum storyline. Joe Quesada said that the moment when the Ultimate Universe does crossover stories with the Marvel-616, it would be the end.
I would've preferred Rogue but i thought it was fun. I don't mind Peter dating a mutant in the 616 and it doesn't have to be Kitty.
I haven't read that part of Ultimate yet, but i never liked the idea on principle, i would have prefer Felicia (sometimes i feel that Bendis make her adult just to not adress it) or another related spider characther if you want to go for the angle of him dating a powered woman.

Kitty and Peter were great for the short-time they were together. I will say that if I had to give Spider-Man a superhero girlfriend, Kitty Pryde is probably the most logical choice. I'm guessing it's due to them both being conceptualized as everyman characters and underdogs relative to the rest of the MU (in Peter's case due to being poor and a nerd, and in Kitty's case it's due to being a mutant). Also they are both very smart and have a passion for teaching.
Be careful. There's only one 616 Peter. If we flirt with too many ships, they'll break up Peter and MJ again.
They can be platonic, which is going around the romance. The truth is when Peter is with a fellow super heroine, it can become an expanded story line where their common plot comes together, as well as their friendship. Shared interests and shared upbringing makes for a very good relationship.
