This is a teaser to part of the build up to ASM 700. Entitled "Who Is Alpha?".

Apparently it is going to have something to do with Spider-mans origin and introduce a new character. Does this mean they're going back to the whole "Other" deal?

Not really sure what to make of it. Could be either interesting or disastrous depending on where they go with it.

I remember reading an article on this yesterday some of the hints were........disturbing to say the least.

I'm 86% sure there going to replace Peter

There's quite a few hints rolling around on the internet but nothing official but the one that chilled me to the bone was when someone pointed out that:

If you'v been reading the letter page at the end of each issue Slotts been dropping clues for quite a long time about Peter being replaced

@ReVamp: I wouldn't actually be against him to be honest. He was always one of my favorite Spider-man characters. Not really sure why people disliked him.

People don't? He's quite popular. Well... As popular as you can be after the clone sage.

Oh god.

I personally hope it's a new character.

@Strider92 said:

@ReVamp: Well that was the Jackals plan wasn't it? put into 3 parts:

SPOILER WARNING: Click here to reveal hidden content.

Alpha: Clone Parker Beta: Unleash the carrion virus Omega: replace the world with clones.
I'd just be bummed if it turned out that since the 90's we'd actually been following Pete's clone while he was locked away in some stasis pod.

That would be the lamest thing ever. That would be potentially worse than Sin's Past. That would be worse than Sin's Past.

I'm ignoring everything I just read. I don't want any of that to happen.

I see. You know they were originally planning to:

@ReVamp: No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

@TheAnnihilator said:

@ReVamp: No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

They didn't do it, obviously and they can't do it now.

@ReVamp: This thread has just made me so nervous. Why did I look at this? Screw you guys.

@Strider92 said:

@ReVamp: Yeah I remember that. The funny thing was because I lived in Europe and we are behind America I practically grew up with him as Spider-man so I was actually quite sad when they killed him.

Yeah man, tell me about it. He's awesome.

@TheAnnihilator said:

@ReVamp: No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

They didn't do it, obviously and they can't do it now.

@ReVamp I forget where I heard it but it was said Slott found something in Spider-Man's first appearance or origin that everyone missed. He will be bringing that up.

They better not. Really Slott has me wondering if I'm going to end up hating the book so bad that I'll stop enjoying it.

Meh. Will you be mad if they bench Petey?

Yes

It's going to be a while before we can find out :\

And:

SPOILER WARNING: Click here to reveal hidden content.

Reilly was the first SUCCESSFUL attempt at recreating Parker, right? Alpha's the first letter in the greek alphabet?

@DarkKnightDetective: Nope, Greek.

No about what?

Slott did say that the news will shake the internet but I don't if he meant it in a bad or good way

@DarkKnightDetective: Nope, Greek.

No about what?

@DarkKnightDetective said:

@ReVamp said:

@DarkKnightDetective: Nope, Greek.

No about what?

yeah you 're right I just cheched I get confused with those two.

SPOILER WARNING: Click here to reveal hidden content.

about peter parker being replaced, but If you think about it Alpha can also be the first Peter Parker and the one that we have been reading about is just a clone.

o_o

I said nothing about Parker being replaced.

@Strider92 said:

@DarkKnightDetective: Thats what I said a posts ago. It would suck if that turns out to be true lol.......

And yeah, forgot to mention that.

@ReVamp: Yeah I remember that. The funny thing was because I lived in Europe and we are behind America I practically grew up with him as Spider-man so I was actually quite sad when they killed him.

@DarkKnightDetective said:

@ReVamp: Wow I am really Jaded today.

No problemo.

This thread has me worried now. Mainly because most of whats been said is plausible......dear god......

You mean that bar that basically just says open me?

Yes.

@BlackArmor: Good. Very good.

If it really is something from Spider-Mans origin then and connected to 700 what if it's a character created from that experiment that gave him his powers?

I was kinda thinking something like that too.

It is, it's been confirmed that Slott created Alpha

It hasn't been confirmed he created the entire character as to quote:

Not be redundant but, who is Alpha? Is it an entirely new character or a description of a guise someone adopts?

It could be a character we already know under a new name.

I really like this theory. Not sure how it would work with the whole "Other" thing though.

@TheAnnihilator: And just because I find it amusing to scare you:

damn clones.....

@Strider92: Reeeeeeal cute Strider, real cute.
