Perhaps they are going back to the '60's idea that radiation causes the creation of mutants. (Hank McCoy's father worked in a nuclear power plant and was exposed to radiation.) Peter was bitten by a radioactive spider...
I absolutely love this book <3 I hope it lasts for a long time.
First, MJ empowered by a symbiote could be a way to give her own powers. It's like they did in "Ultimate Spider-Man" bonding her with Carnage, although I didn't like it. Also, there's a cover around there where MJ is trying to resist the Venom symbiote. Now THAT would be a story.
Second, about the next issue in solicitations, I'm glad MJ let her hair go. However, being recruited by the X-Men? No, thanks!! Sorry for X-Fans, but that's a very bad idea:
+ Annie is not really a mutant, just like Mayday wasn't, so she doesn't fit here.
+ No offense, but after years and years, it's obvious that if you live with the X-Men in their mansion or whereever you go, you'll be anything but safe. Every mutant hater and enemy come here to destroy teachers and students, so Peter and MJ wouldn't let Annie to run such risk continuously.
Don't you think I'm right?
MJ empowered by a symbiote and trying to resist the Venom symbiote...That could work.
So what kind of costume does MJ wear? Who designed it? How does it "tap" into Peter's powers?
