The Peter Parker/Mary Jane Watson Marriage Will Never Return

Walt

One of the many things that bothers me about Marvel was the removal of regular Marvel continuity of the marriage between Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson. It just did not make sense to me.

When confronted with a backlash by fans due to his decision to dictate a controversial reversal of Peter Parker’s marriage to Mary Jane Watson in the “One More Day” storyline, Quesada participated in a series of interviews…

In a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, the actress…

Walt

I just read Amazing Spider-Man #641 the conclusion of the “One Moment in Time” storyline which was a review and update of the “One More Day” story written by J. Michael Straczynski and Joe Quesada in 2007.

Walt

Peter Parker (Spider-Man) has a certain redhead in his life again Mary Jane Watson. Peter is surrounded by beautiful women but there is something special about Mary Jane. Oh yea, that’s right they were married and very much in love once upon a time. The “One More Day” storyline changed all that, Mary Jane sacrificed all that to save Aunt May’s life. Peter and Mary Jane’s marriage was erased from history and every-one’s memories by the demon Mephisto. Still wonder even in Marvel how Mephisto would have powers that great but…
