    I actually expect this to happen. Why? Peter no longer needs to be ( or act like) a teenager, or a slacker living in Aunt May’s basement, nor does he need to save. New York by himself. Miles can and increasing will fill the role of the teenaged Spider-Man and also take some responsibility off of Pete’’s shoulders. I also expect to see Pete remarry MJ, and start to become more successful. Maybe even have a kid ( or as I suggested before) bring over Annie from the RYV Universe.

    When you think about it, Annie has the same colors scheme as the closest thing Mayday had to a sister (April/Mayhem)

    I also like the little touch that physically, they favor one parent as well.

    I see that we're still retreading old ground.

    I hope that if he does have a child it's an entirely new character, especially since it's too late for May or Annie to be born.

    I said it before you can bring Annie from her universe, just like they did with Ghost Spider Gwen.

    I'd do the old have Peter have a kid with both MJ and Felicia, with MJ's daughter being the very outgoing person and wild child and Felicia's kind of like her in a sense, the ugly duckling that always got dragged into things by her older half sister before she'd get her out suit like Felicia's and come out of her shell...

    So original kids I guess...

    Marvel has signed contracts that prevent that from happening.

    Bill Mantlo in the 80s pitched a story multiple times to have Felicia pregnant with Peter's kid. Eventually the editor sent him to EIC Jim Shooter. Shooter flat out told Mantlo it's not happening, because Marvel have signed licenses for baby products and other paraphernalia that have morality clauses that involve them not doing stories which compromise the character.

    Wow
    Lol not sure how that might compromise the character
    If anything it's the opposite as he's taking responsibility for 2 children from 2 different relationships

    It depends on how people want to make this work. Spider-Man can't have children out of wedlock. He also can't get divorced. So that means that Peter marries one girl, becomes a widow and marries again and has another kid.

    The idea that people have of Peter making both of them his babymama is just not on the cards.

    For real, if the marvel office ain't willing to have Peter even get hitched, polygamy would be an even greater reach.

    It's always been my opinion that his 616 daughter, May, is still alive. Surprised this isn't an option in the poll.

    I think recent history questions that. IMO, the character has been thoroughly compromised since JMS.

    I'd guess that those contracts have run their course by now, the 80's were over 30 years ago and I don't remember any Marvel baby products...

    My view would be then they could age the two daughters up and put them in college, both with powers and they team up to fight crime, get good grades, and navigate their relationships...

    Are you referring to Sins Past or One More Day? Because either way, the overriding factor in that was Joe Quesada not wanting Peter to have kids, in or out of wedlock, and not wanting Peter to be married at all, since he "worked better young and swinging single."
    The spider is always on the hunt.

    Well, I mean, if May was still alive circa OMD (or even if she was dead), it does kinda have worrying implications. Would she be erased from existence entirely? Become property of Mephisto as a product of the marriage?

    Seems like she might have a grudge against dear old dad (and probably Norman too, of course) if that were the case (and with recent upheavals in hell, she'd have plenty of opportunity to get out from Mephisto's thumb).

    Now I'm not saying she may have used magic to retroactively insert herself into her parents' lives, possibly to spy on them and then ruin Peter's life when the time was right (oh hi Cindy Lawton, character that apparently knew Peter since college and yet only appeared at the start of the Spencer run!), or maybe even has a demonic alter ego which she may or may not have taken from somebody else (hi Kindred, with all the hints that you're actually Harry Osborn who showed back up right at the outset of BND in time for a hypothetical demonic baton-pass!).

    I think even Marvel Time would be stretched too far by that, outside of aging them up unnaturally (which kinda defeats Spidey's everyman status - I mean, he's a grad student himself right now, having two college-aged kids seems a bit much). At which point you might as well make it its own continuity.
