By that logic, wouldn't Hulk writers be "wasting time" every time they have Bruce change into the Hulk and back? Even if that was the reason she's kept in her She-Hulk form, why is that the way to avoid making her the female version of Bruce? You're giving off some major David S. Goyer vibes right now.
As for Jennifer being immune to Peter's radioactive blood… how does that work? I could understand if radiation powers were used on her, but how would just being in the presence of someone with radioactive blood cause her to lose control? What about the issue of Mighty Avengers where she was able to retain control to the point that she could directly to SpOck with enough coherence that she was able to threaten him not with violence, but with a long and thorough court case?
I wasn't accusing you of suggesting that Peter should be a part of Jennifer's supporting cast, I was accusing you of doing the same thing you do every time you find a tangential excuse to bring up your desire to see Peter have a "partner". You are sexist, just face it. You think that superheroines can just be swapped up like machine parts. To you, they are nothing more than cogs whose primary purpose is to replace Black Cat's. Oh, sure, you'll try to argue that they have a history with Peter, but it's all just a justification for you. You don't care about who these characters are in their own right, you care about how Spider-Man matters in their world.
What is even the reason for why you want to see Jessica fight Felicia? Because Felicia was originally intended as a villain for her? If you want that, then why can't Black Cat show up in a book like Secret Avengers, where you'd have Spider-Woman be the central character for an arc, and Black Cat could, for one reason or another, serve as an opponent for Spider-Woman? Not as an antagonist, or an even a villain, but just that something happens during the story that causes them to fight? If you want them to fight, alright, there could be a story that has a good reason for them to fight, but your reasons for it sound terrible. It sounds like you just want them to fight because, "Hey look! Spider-Woman is Peter's partner right now! Black Cat would totally be jealous of that!" Because naturally the only reason two women could get into a fight is because one is jealous of the other being in a relationship with a man. And don't even try to pretend that you're not suggesting this because of that. The dynamics you're interested in - which I notice mainly focus on how Peter affects the superheroine more often than the other way around - sound mainly to build towards a romantic relationship, rather than a platonic partnership.
Tell me, what did you think of One More Day? What do you think are the advantages of that story having been written? Do you agree that it's better for the marriage to have been nullified because it allows Peter to explore relationships with other women, or can you think of other story potential that was "rescued" by that story?
