It fits so perfectly, I mean heck Nightbird was in Gwenverse and they brought the Black Skull (Red Skull/Venom as a Two-Face expy) back over in Avengers so having The Goblin come back wouldn't be too much of a stretch. It would simply be another consequence of Phil Coulson's harmful actions in using the Pandemonium Cube.

Y'all missing the forest for the trees...
Bushy Browed Pete is back baybe!!
That last part especially aggravates me. You've got Mephisto and his 615 other counterparts making a play for total domination of the Multiverse, which may or may not have been kicked off by whatever was yielded from his bargain with Spider-Man, but Spider-Man has no involvement whatsoever in that thus far.
The spider is always on the hunt.
Which is exactly the point, I think he was purposely left out of that story because then they would have had to address One More Day, you can't do a Spider-Man vs. Mephisto story and not address it, it must be done and then undone and that isn't what Marvel's current crop of Editors want despite the fact that their 1970's wonderland is crumbling into the far distant past.

I keep low-key hoping Avengers Assemble ends with Mephisto's ultimate defeat and all of his deals are walked back on, that would make sense of the pro-marriage stories published this year like Lost Hunt and Slott's 60th tale.
That said, either Peter or Mayday are prophesised to be the ones to defeat the devil ultimately in the future, so the big Avengers battle will only just delay him if he is not vanquished. Already this big crossover battle from Aaron feels like a nothing burger.

If ASM was actually doing anything with that I’d agree but since they are avoiding tiring into this and Avengers is ignoring Spider-man’s tie to Mephisto not happening. Shame would make so much sense to tie dark web to mephisto and such but deep planning doesn’t live here anymore
