Writer Dan Slott teased a few more Superior Spider-Man details during a retailer breakfast held at the start of New York Comic Con. Marvel Comics has confirmed that Slott told retailers in attendance that the Spider-Man starring in the January-debuting series is indeed a character other than Peter Parker, and that Spider-Man and Mary Jane would be getting back together — which would mean that Peter and MJ will not be.
Spider-Man
Character » Spider-Man appears in 17241 issues.
Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider as a teenager, granting him spider-like powers. After the death of his Uncle Ben, Peter learned that "with great power, comes great responsibility." Swearing to always protect the innocent from harm, Peter Parker became Spider-Man.
NYCC News: Spider-man is not Superior
this makes me really excited/nervous about what's going to happen in #700.....who is the replacement Spider-man? why is he replacing Peter? where is Peter? BEN????
@cameron83: what he's saying is that Spider-man and MJ would be together but since Peter isn't Spider-man that Peter and MJ won't be together
Ok, so Pete disappears for a year or so, and shows back up to reclaim his mantle (again)? You kill of PP in the 616 and ultimate universe, you lose readers across the board. It's that simple.
Is it damn Miles Morales, hell I feel like 1610 /Ultimate Marvel and the movies have taken a 85% influence of 616 marvel Universe which is B.S, well they're calling it Marvel Now it's the same damn thing!
Beast goes back in time and gets young peter parker to stop older peter parker from creating a mutant genocide.
@evilvegeta74: I don't think that it will be Miles....although Peter's reaction at the end of Spider-men does confirm that Miles does exist in some manor in the 616...I just don't see how Miles could become Spider-man in the 616 without some sort of introduction prior to issue 700

Surprisingly that GIF makes me feel a little better
Damn it Slott, I was just starting to like your run on ASM. It took me a while to warm up to it, but I'm finally there. And now you throw a curve-ball like this?
Slott has yet to disappoint me with his run on ASM so I'm reserving judgement until I find out exactly what is going on

Same here
I can't lose Peter in 616 and Ultimate. I hope that Dan means that Spider-man won't be acting like Peter. The only way I will be on board with this is if Peter gets injured, and out of the blue comes Ben Reilly to take over the Spidey job. Peter could then stay as a supplement character who makes Ben's tech while he recovers from his injuries. Even then I would have some serious problems with MJ dating Ben after she and Peter broke up.
"and that Spider-Man and Mary Jane would be getting back together — which would mean that Peter and MJ will not be."
i....i dont get it....
Hopefully it wont be Miles, that is way too predictable. It could be a brand-new character or one of Peter's old supporting cast that we haven't seen in years. Now I'm not so excited for the book. Marvel really wants to keep Peter and MJ from getting back together. So now she's with some new Spiderman? Thanks Marvel. Slott is by no means a bad writer but hasn't this been done before??

Man, I don't care if this turns out to be the worst Spider-Man stuff ever written... I HAVE to pick up this title only to find out what the hell is going on.

Well if that's an official cover we can cross miles off the list because miles isn't white.
And Fury isn't Black in the 616verse color doesn't really mean a thing.
I'm still going to maintain this is Parker and just a play on words until I get directly told that this is a completely different guy.

True but furys son is black and looks like a buffer version of the ultimate one. Also they added agent Coulsen in the 616 verse. All this came to be during the book battle scars.
what crap. I was really willing to give this book a chance but now Peter wont even be in it! Peter Parker is like one of a FEW characters I actually like in the Marvel Universe and now he not even going to be Spider-Man? Marvel ruined my intrest in the Ultimate Universe with that Miles Morales junk and now this. I cant say im looking forward to whats coming next.
I love how the internet is freaking out just like Slott said it would.
Yes... dance puppets, dance...
Oh, and I'm surprised at the number of confused posts. When he says Spider-man and MJ will get together but not Peter and MJ, he means Spider-man isn't Peter. Duh.
@InnerVenom123: Or he's simply toying with us by saying it isn't Peter because this Peter doesn't consider himself to be Peter anymore because of his morals. So he is Peter but at the same time he isn't in character! this is the theory i'm sticking with until I get blatantly told that it isn't Peter in the suit.
