The perfect ending for this Kindred arc is that when it seems like either Kindred finally breaks down Peter or Peter is finally getting the winning punch thrown in, they suddenly find themselves strapped to straight jackets in a padded cell.
And then Traveller comes out of the shadows saying that now he can FINALLY resume his experiment and figure out the nature of evil for...
...reasons.

Hoping this isn't what is inside those two tubes in Osborn's lab...
You know, I seem to recall I once suspected that Kindred might've been spoilers:end of spoilers prior to ASM #50, but I'll let that go.
Gwen
Anyway, the question is why would Marvel supposedly give away that Kindred spoilers:end of spoilers. Must be a fake-out, right? But what if not a fake-out? Moreover, what if that's not the real twist behind Kindred? What if Kindred spoilers:
is really Gwen? end of spoilers
wasn't just one person, but two?
Consider the following: spoilers:end of spoilers
If you go back through the various issues, you will notice that Kindred doesn't always wear the same color coat and hood. Sometimes, Kindred wears an all purple coat and hood, and other times, he wears a greyish/brown coat and a magenta hood. That's not something you can chalk up to as a mere coloring mistake. That should've been seen as a visual clue.
Notice, too, that in this very preview that when Spider-Man faces Kindred prior to being teleported to Paris, Kindred is wearing the greyish brown coat. The one who is unmasking before MJ and revealing herself to be Gwen is wearing the purple coat. And that these two scenes are, presumably, happening at the same time.
Furthermore, back when Norman captured Kindred at the end of "Last Remains," notice that when Harry, as Kindred, was imprisoned at Ravencroft in a dark dimension cell, Carlie Cooper ended up being kidnapped by Kindred, or at least his centipedes? That should be another clue that either Kindred had the ability of bilocation, or was two separate people.
Notice, too, how, at the end of Amazing Spider-Man #72, there were two pods in that room where Norman Osborn faced the Harry Osborn AI computer?
And, if you want something a little more symbolic, there were always two centipedes accompanying Kindred.

Please, look at the title of this story on the credits page. It's not Sinister War: Part 3 or Conclusion, because the main series ended. The title says: Sins of our FATHERS.
One of them is probably Norman Osborn and from the previous issue we know his sin against his son (selling Harry to Mephisto). Who is the second father then? Peter? Is is possible that child of him and Mary Jane (Mayday) was raised by Osborn in secret in Paris (like Gabriel and Sarah Stacy) and accelerated to growth by using lab technology (like Red Skull did to his daughter) to become Osborn's tool against Spider-Man in the future, but because SM and MJ made a deal with Mephisto their daughter was taken by Mephisto to Hell (the child was a testament of their marriage, in the current realisty I suppose Mayday was never conceived or born), where she found truth from Mephisto about her real parents (how would you feel if you know that you are in Hell, because your parents made a stupid deal with the devil which directly erase you from their lives). It can also explain why Kindred is so fixated on Norman Osborn as well (by kidnaping her from childbirth he would be her substitute father, so their conversation in Ravencroft could be explained). So she hates Osborn (for lying to her about her origin and destroying her normal life) and Peter/MJ (her parents for selling her to devil as a side effect of their deal with Mephisto). Or Kindred is half Harry, half Mayday. They are kindred spirits, because they were both betrayed by their fathers (title says: Sins of our fathers), and they joined forces in hell to get revenge on them. Please, Spencer end this because this speculating destroy our lives

We need to start the "How Many Spider-Man Stories Can Use The Word "SINS" Challenge."
One of my buddies and I always found it amusing when we were kids how an entire season of the 90s Spidey cartoon used the overarching title of "Sins of The Fathers" so I'm sure he'll find great pleasure in this issue being titled "Sins of Our Fathers."
Off the top of my head we got Sin-Cere, Sin-Thesis, Sin-Ister (all 3 of those comprising the 2nd Sin-Eater story), Sins Past, Sins Remembered, Original Sin tie-ins, Sins Rising, The Sins of Norman Osborn. How many other sins we got in the house?
He's going to morph his head into Gwen, Jean DeWolff, Uncle Ben, Captain Stacy etc, the People Peter "Failed". Calling it now.
Also, if Kindred is George Stacy, I'm out of this series.

And then Peter will hear, "Peter dear, how about some wheatcakes?" Turns out Kindred really is Aunt May, she died and the current one is a clone/impostor. But then, we get another shocking reveal, the wheatcakes were actually pancakes.
And that's the greatest Sin of them all.
