Mary Jane Watson-Parker Appreciation 2022

[Kevinroc]

Reminds me that I think MJ is distantly Irish (if her looks aren't enough clue) to the point that she inherited an ancient castle that she dragged Peter off to see.

Scottish. Watson is a Scottish and English surname.

And you're thinking of Spirits of the Earth.

I'm pretty sure Kaine is the same. Didn't he have a redhead too?

...Did he? I forget his love interest in his Scarlet Spider run.

Annabelle Adams, a singer at the hotel where Kaine was staying (with his sidekick, Maria Aracely Penalba de la Heras, a.k.a. Hummingbird, whom he saved from a human trafficking ring when he was just trying to rob the bastards to pay his own expenses). Sadly, when his past came to light thanks to Kraven and his daughter Ana coming into Houston and then he went full Other on Shathra, another returning Spider-Man foe who was hunting him as an alternative to Peter, Annabelle freaked out and saw him as nothing but a monster. And yes, she was at least introduced as a redhead (when Ryan Stegman was doing the art for those issues), though her hair color changed somewhat frequently in later issues.

I recall he had an irish interest when he was revived post-Maximum Clonage, she crushed hard on him, but he thought he betrayed her and she never did get to prove her loyalty.

Uh-huh. Her name was Muse, if I recall right.

Together, you can investigate every lead on the biggest story of the season... and maybe even score a Victory Royale!

Are they still persisting with this journalist angle for her in video games?

They're going to continue with Reporter MJ in the Insomniac games. It doesn't really matter in Fortnite, though.

Pretty cool. Hoping she at least gets referenced in the upcoming Fortnite/Marvel crossover comic.

The 1970s . . . how groovy. Or am I confusing that with the 1960s?

Keeping it catty, ladies .

1976, to be exact.

Thank you for the clarification, and yes, look at that picture and tell me with a straight face Peter/Mary Jane isn't (or won't become) as iconic to Marvel (despite the protestations of certain professionals and creatives there) as Clark/Lois has been to DC.

And Superman often got name-dropped in the Spider-Man syndicated strip

As a fictional character? Because DC comics does exist in the Marvel universe (they publish fictional superheroes like in our world, while Marvel does based on a true story ones).
