Peter, Miles, Kaine, Reily, Shift, O'Hara, Spider-Boy, Silk, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Woman, Madame Web, Anya.... that's 12 minimum Honorable mention being otto's on-again/off-again career as Superior Spider-Man, Dream Spider, Web-Head, Rek-Rap, the newest Spider-Girl (who is a new Spider-Boy character), and depending on who you ask Goddess (the spider who bit Peter and Silk) And that's only 616 counting the still active spider-fellas and not counting the symbiotes. As there are many others like Steel Spider, or the Slingers (although i don't think these ones count) Not counting the Spider-Verse people who just go to 616 (gwen and O'hara being the exception as they are now living in 616....

[@ForeverGotShorter]

I assume the idea here is that the reason the clone has Peter's memories up to the beginning of college is that this is supposed to be late Ditko era-Peter, before John Romita took over and Peter got a makeover, settled his differences with Flash, and had two hot girls fighting over him. The Romita run, IMO is one of the greatest the character ever had, and Romita was 100% responsible for making Peter more upbeat and giving him a steady girlfriend. So I guess all those Marvel editors who insist Peter should always be miserable, single, and a teenager must hate anything made after Ditko left the title, huh? So yeah, they're destroying Spider-Man for the sake of making him a perpetually angsty youngster that they can live vicariously through, all because they can't let go of whatever nostalgia they had for the early days of the character. Well, I hope they're happy.

[@thatonea-hole]

Which is why the current Ultimate Spiderman is so beloved, since much like the John Romita run, Peter as a character develops naturally. Along with the story beats working well and his love life being so steady that he's a dad trying to raise kids with his wife, MJ!

OoOo I’m excited for this the first what if comic on atop the forth wall and it’s something Lewis loves to talk about the what if elseworld stories and its always interesting to see him explain his passion for something. Ps what if marvel heroes existed in DC universe what would their lives be like in dc universe?

[@thanoskell1335]

I feel like for some their lives wouldn't differ too much in the beginning beyond maybe a detail or two, Hulk I can still see starting off as an outcast trying to reign in the beast or Steve dethawing and restarting his hero career though he in particular might have an easier time with it depending if the JSA were canon or not in this scenario. Others like the X-Men and Spider-Man might have an easier time of it since they would be in a much less cynical earth and thus they might benefit from more benefit of the doubt from the populace. It's an interesting thought experiment considering a lot of Marvel heroes's origins and lives are defined by how their earth treats its heroes and the oddities so putting them in an earth that is generally way more trusting and praising of their type might change a lot or little on a very case by case basis. Like would Reed be as driven to make the Fantastic Four famous as his form of redemption and to protect his family from being treated horribly because they're different in a world that openly embraces say Superman or Martian Manhunter, I can see it but I can also see that path diverging in some interesting ways.

I cant believe ive been watching since like 2011. It doesn't feel that long. I was in my 20's. I'm in my 40's now.

Happy Anniversary & New Year, Linkara. Maybe this year, ~somehow~, will be better than the last

Nice way to end 2024 with a late Clone Saga review for a what if comic that we saw on a live show once.

yeah i know coney island is more than the amueement park but the thought of spidey and kingpin batle in bumper cars is just to funny :D edit didn't thought they have a showdown in the park ... coney island has no other landmarks it seems

[@ShinyGaara65]

Kingpin: OF COURSE!

I'm 5 minutes in and already this is better than 80% of Whatif season 3.

Basically the ending is the prestige but with spiderman

[@comicscinemaothermedia9247]

An Elseworld, What If?... month would be cool. And what else could you call it but What Else?... Month!

15:36 Now I am wondering which super hero would have the worst time in Silent Hill. Like, lets assume Silent Hill adjusts for super powers relative to the trauma the hero has been through. So even if The Hulk was trapped there, all the monsters would be as menacing to a guy that strong.

21:54 Welcome back once again Spiderman TAS clip involving a bad comic book plot. Still classic for over 16 years.

My favorite drop is the "of course! Don't you know anything about science?" Cracks me up every time
