Mary Jane and by Mary Jane I mean the character that we had before One More Day/Brand New Day ruined her.
Nocturne, Cardiac, Spidercide (yes, no kiddin)
Mary Jane >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kaine > Silver Sable > Bugle Staff > Julia Carpenter >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bambi
One thing missing in the current PI run is Peter developing a proper relationship (Lian Tang's one was a joke), but sadly it looks like's something beyond Slott's capabilities
Most of the Bugle supporting characters. Yes one will show up now and again but they are not tied into Peter's life in the way they once were. Why Marvel and many of the modern Spider-Man writers have gotten rid of one of the best supporting cast in comics is a complete mystery to me. There were many stories where I was just as interested in what was going on with them as I was with Peter. I especially miss Robbie Robertson as a regular who I always considered one of the strongest black supporting characters ever created. He had a lot of stuff going on and was always interesting.
I even miss secondary supporting cast members from the Bugle like Joy Mercado. What a waste not using these characters!!! Even the not so important ones were quite well developed.

Robbie Robertson. Betty Brant. Glory Grant. Haven't seen those three for a while and I do miss seeing them. Though I guess since they haven't been in the comics than their ''lives'' must be ok right now.
Which kind of goes with my idea of doing a Spider-Man Adventures or "Untold Tales" which is set in the past for Peter Parker. There's no reason why you can't cover events and even set up stories set in a character's past. DC did that with teenage Clark Kent for years with Superboy, and they did it again for Smallville and a TV Show called Superboy. My take is that if you bring in a series set in Peter Parker's Past, you can reasonably put the Daily Bugle cast in there.

Has Glory appeared since she quit Jameson's staff?
I miss Robbie Robertson, Betty and Randy. I miss Joy Mercado as well. Remember her?
I kinda even miss Jill Stacy (*dodges tomatoes*).
EDIT: lol I guess Joy isn't as forgotten as I thought.
I miss most of the classic supporting cast. It's a travesty they've seemingly been relegated to the dustbin of comics history.
"So you've come to the end now alive but dead inside."
Because they are useless in current marvel nyc and ordinary people while all of the setting turned nyc into a meta human world and shield literally tied with the narrative to all title heroes and thier supprting cast whic lh means they are either put on a bus or promoted to action muggle
I miss all of them and everything else about the book from those days. I still read Spider-Man, but the comic is not the same. It doesn't even feel connected to the past stories with the Bugle staff and others.
glad to see Randy hasn't disappeared yet, with his appearance in Marvel Team-Up #1.
What does he do for a living, currently?
