Description
Well, here we are, folks. Another week, another submission. I know it's a little earlier than I usually post, but as I mentioned last week, my work days got switched around, so this was really the best time to do it. Like my recent Hobgoblin posting, this is a pic that I've had the pencil work lying around for a while now, but I didn't complete it because the hands and legs still needed some work. Also, I wanted to get some other pics out of the way first.Those who know anything about Marvel comics should have no trouble recognizing the little lady on your screen as May "Mayday" Parker, aka. Spider-Girl. As the matriarch and sole survivor of the short-lived MC2 Universe, she's enjoyed no shortage of popularity since her initial introduction as a one-shot character. But at the same time, people will also undoubtedly notice some design changes from her comic book appearance. Changes which I'm about to explain, as they once again stem from my Spectacular Spider-Man fanfic ideas.
Those of you who have already been paying attention, already know from this pic ( ) that my fanfic plans (assuming I can find co-writers to help me get them off the ground) promise the inclusion of "Spider-Gwen" into the mix. And that's where the direction of May's life is already going to make a sharp turn. Instead of being the daughter of Peter and Mary Jane, as she is in the comics, she's, instead, going to be the daughter of Peter and Gwen. MJ will still be in the picture, but she'll, in fact, be May's Godmother and will, actually be the one to design the costume May's rocking here, which incorporates elements from both Peter and Gwen's designs.
As you can see, I haven't strayed TOO far from the original "Ben Reilly" Spider-Man costume that May took up in the comics, but adding elements from Gwen's costume allowed me to make some alterations that I felt were aesthetic improvements. While I always thought the Ben Reilly costume was cool, my main problem with May wearing it was always that, with the exception of her VERY attractive lady parts, she just looked too much like her father in it. So I wanted something that would exude a little more femininity. However, we've already seen the open-mask concept with the various Spider-Woman incarnations. But since I already knew I was going to give Gwen spider powers in her own right, making her costume an amalgam of hers and Peter's only seemed right. So the hood pretty much became a no-brainer. From there, I kind of played fast and loose with the web designs, added in some "Spider-Gwen"-style booties and what you see is what you get.
Granted, the picture, itself is very simple, with no background. But that decision was by design, because I wanted the image to be a nod to the Spider-Girl comic covers, several of which were just plain white backgrounds or gradients. In fact, the gradient of this pic (as well as the title) were both intended to be an homage to her first comic book cover.
All-in-all, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out and I hope everyone else feels the same. Also, hopefully, if someone sees this and becomes intrigued in possibly helping me put these ideas into written form, so much the better. Either way, I hope to hear from you. ^_^

Eh the design isn't bad, although not to be rude, I've always liked Peter x MJ more so than Peter x Gwen, even though I get how your version of Gwen is basically Spider-Gwen in her own right, and I don't mind that at all. But as for me I grew up with Peter and MJ being a thing, I watched the 90's Animated series, I watched the Sam Raimi Trilogy, and read a Trade Paper back of the first few issue's of Spider-Girl when I was a little boy, to I pretty much grew up enjoying the whole thing, also a number of people have apparently been saying for a LONG time now that the whole Peter and Gwen romance kinda felt a bit forced, I can't really say one or the other, but I can kinda understand why they would feel that way, I'm glad to have Gwen Stacy being more than the just 'The dead Girlfriend of Peter Parker' in the form of Spider-Gwen, and I do admit her suit look's AMAZING in it's own right (and your art ain't that bad btw) but in all fairness, I can't help but feel that MJ is a bit of a better fit than Gwen for a few thing's, and yeah I get that I might have some bias, but who doesn't when it come's to thing's they enjoy and prefer? Anyhow, the fact is that MJ was ultimately the one who REALLY accepted Peter as both himself and as Spider-Man, now I get that Gwen in many way's was the same, and how Peter and MJ did have rough patches in their relationship, but really who doesn't when it come's to being with someone who has so many thing's on their plate? And when I say that I get how Gwen could understand in many way's I DO ACTUALLY KNOW WELL ENOUGH! But still MJ was the one Peter choose, even when gal's like Felicia and other's would Pine for him at time's or tempt him, it was MJ he choose above all other's, now if it where Gwen instead would it be the same? Perhaps, Perhaps not. But above all else, I can't help but feel that when I see Peter and Mary Jane together it just feel 'Right' in a way like with no other, and they held each other so dear. And it's because of thing's like that that make me feel so much ANGER at event's like One More Day, which I feel should BURN IN HELL! I mean for one, Aunt May herself told Peter to just let her pass on and have a family, and instead he and MJ give up whatever happiness they have just to let her live when she said she didn't want to. The whole thing feel's wrong on so many level's, not only does it not make sense when Aunt May is old enough it won't really matter cause she would die anyhow (That is if Marvel ACTUALLY CARED ENOUGH TO GO AHEAD WITH IT!) But also because of how I'm sure she would like nothing more than to be with Her Husband Ben Parker in the afterlife, as well as Peter's Parent's Richard and Mary Parker (Also I don't mind his Parent's being Secret Agent's, kinda make's the 'Parker Luck' a somewhat family thing in a way

Okay, was that all just one long sentence?
Seriously, though, I grew up with Peter and MJ all through my childhood, too. And I was just as enraged as anybody over the "One More Day/Brand New Day" fiasco. TopTenz on Youtube listed OMD in their "Top 10 Worst Moments in Marvel Comics" video, and decried it as "a key example of a disturbing trend among comic book companies...Editors (ab)using their positions to ghost write their favorite comics". After all, the whole story was mandated by Joe Quesada. J. Micheal Straczynski didn't even want to write it. In fact, what I found to be even more pathetic was the Quesada-penned story, "One Moment in Time", where he cowardly tried to put the blame for the Mephisto deal, entirely, on Mary Jane.
Still, while the Peter/MJ thing still holds a place in my heart, my attraction to the Peter/Gwen pairing is born more from my desire to see things turn left, instead of right for them, for a change. First of all, the killing of Gwen Stacy, in all honesty, was entirely unfair, since the writers only did specifically so Peter WOULD end up with Mary Jane. See, the reason they didn't like Peter and Gwen together, at that time, was because they felt Peter and Gwen were too much alike, so having them together was boring. Whereas, on the other hand, there was Mary Jane, who was the complete polar opposite of Peter and a total sexpot and a character that the writers found WAY much more stimulating to write about. So Gwen was essentially sacrificed to make way for the girl the WRITERS wanted.
The thing is, because Gwen's death was such a successful story (primarily for its shock value, in 1973) and because Marvel has never met a success story that they won't unabashedly milk dry until it gives powder (just ask Venom), they've kept the Gwen death as a constant thing, from cradle to grave, etched in stone, somewhere in God's library, up in Heaven. The problem with that is, when Marvel killed her off in the comics, it WAS unique. It WAS shocking. It WAS edgy for its time. But you know what? After 45 years...the fans have pretty much gotten over it. It's like when they insist on killing off Jean Grey in X-Men, over and over again. I mean, the first time was a gut-check, sure. But after the fourth or fifth time now, what's even the POINT, anymore? In fact, I think one of the smartest things the 90s X-Men animated series did, overall, was NOT kill off Jean, at the end of the Dark Phoenix Saga, just because it gave us a chance to see how things would go if they turned left, instead of right.
Speaking of which, going back to One More Day for a moment, even J. Micheal Straczynski thought about turning left, at that time. When he couldn't talk Quesada or any of the other Marvel Execs out of going forward with the story, he was actually planning to resurrect Gwen Stacy for the "Brand New Day" arc, just to give the longtime fans something to hang their hat on. Of course, the Execs turned the idea down, but I find myself going with what Stan Lee said, a long time ago...no matter which girl Peter is with, in his life, Gwen Stacy will ALWAYS be his one true love.
I just think it would be nice, just once, to see things work out for them, for a change. That's just me, but I think a lot of other people would like to see it, too. I mean, after all, that's why Spider-Gwen became so instantly successful, even though she was only ever intended to be a "one and done"...because she made people realize something that I think they were only really aware of on an unconscious level...that they're honestly just sick and tired of Marvel forcing them to ONLY think of her as JUST "Peter Parker's dead girlfriend". They wanted something more, and Spider-Gwen gave that to them. So I'd kind of like to see something more happen. Hell, I'm even hoping that the current Spider-Man animated series goes somewhere with Peter and Gwen, especially since there doesn't seem to be an MJ in the mix.
As for Civil War, well, the fallout of One More Day wasn't the only part of Spider-Man's life that got screwed up from that. After all, because Civil War happened directly after J. Micheal Straczynski's story, "The Other" (which gave Spider-Man a whole host of new powers and was, ultimately, what Straczynski wanted to be the culmination for his entire run on the book), he never got the chance to follow up on any of the new ideas he'd introduced, because he had to hit the ground running, with all the other writers, and get on the same page with the crossover. But then, of course, Brand New Day came along and essentially ret-conned the whole thing, so all the events of that story never even took place. Which is kind of tragic, if you ask me, since I would have very much liked to have seen what happened, beyond that.
All that being said, I'm glad you like the design I came up with. I was pretty happy with it. And if you have any other questions or comments, please feel free to write back. ^_^

Ok first of all, I will admit that on the point's you brought up, you're right. Gwen will always be Peter's first Girl, and I will respect that, I am also glad to see how if thing's went left instead of right, this is one of the way's it could have gone, was it the best? Not really, but is it good enough? Yep.
Second, I am aware that JMS was pretty much forced into doing OMD and how OMT was a patheic attempt by Quesada to ease fan blacklash (Eventhough it made it WORSE!) and I also will say that bringing back Gwen, even if it was convluted and messy like crazy (But that's just how ALL comic's are right?), it would have been MUCH better than the treatment Peter got following the event as it had. I mean for real, having him go through a bunch of ladies, only to have Otto Octaivus swap bodies with him, have him be left for DEAD! AND to top it all off, have Otto run around in his body and doing all sort's of thing's that Peter would NEVER do (Both as Spider-Man and Peter Parker), and NO ONE had NOTICED EVEN ONCE SOMETHING WAS OFF?! I get how Doc Ock is VERY much one of Peter's Rouge's Gallery. But I mean COME ON! 'SUPERIOR Spider-Man'! Only a guy with an Ego like Otto's would do something like that! Doctor Doom wouldn't be able to keep himself from showing that he's DOOM! Not to mention there where Telepath's, Super-Geinuses, and not to mention EVEYONE WHO KNOW HIM AS JUST PETER AND NOT SPIDER-MAN! I mean okay, it was nice to see Ock TRY to be a good guy despite his huge Ego. But it's the fact that all of these change's happened and not one person KNEW! THAT is the REAL problem at the end of it all, besides all the hero's and other's who Peter knows, how the FUCK did none of the Villian's besides NORMAN FREAKING OSBORN Figure out that it was Otto in Peter's Body rather than HIS OWN! I mean when Peter rounded up the rest of the Sinister Six to get his body back they kinda figured that it WASN'T Otto in his body (Although since it's guy's like ELECTRO who figured it out, can't say he did THAT good of a job fooling everyone.) All in all, Peter has had his life be put through absolute HELL and I don't think he's gonna get a Break by ANY mean's. And that's NOT including the fact that the Deal still applies and Unless it was for that ONE Time they were married. You can bet my ass that Mephisto is just WAITING for a chance to RUIN Peter's chance at being with MJ, be it by killing her or making her want to leave or SOMETHING! I just feel the momment Nick Spencer get's put to a different book. One of the thing's the next one is going to do is Split them up, I AM CERTIAN OF IT! (Okay this was longer than the first, but I just HAD to talk about it!)
And Third, it does pain me to know just HOW much JMS could had done if Civil War didn't mess everything up. Come to think of it the whole CONCEPT of Civil War's story is something I have problem's with AS A WHOLE! For Starter's, WHY did the New Warrior's (I think that's the team, correct me if I'm wrong!) go ahead and chase NITRO of all people, you'd THINK that all of the Hero's would make sure to let them know WHO they were dealing with also the whole MGO that Nitro took to boost his Power seem's a bit weak to me. Also, HOW THE FUCK do you exepct Superhero's (Who mind you are made up of people who can be as Strong as THE HULK! And some of the BRIGHEST Mind's in the WORLD!) go ahead and give their Identies up to the Goverment, I find it hard to believe since for one. If a Guy like Norman Osborn, who was WELL KNOWN to be the Green Goblin by this point, got ahold of the Record's to ALL of the Hero's on file, well guess what. That is PERFECT Blackmail Material right there, and if you think it's just guys with Power and Influence like him who could only gain access... THINK AGAIN! Our OWN REAL LIFE Goverment has had leak's on CRITICAL RECORD'S be leaked out by some guy with a screen and a Keyboard (or a bunch for that matter,) and that's not even TOUCHING the subject if a agent who would have access to these Records went ahead and put it up for acution at any undergound Market's. ANYONE who would have an Interset in making ANY of these Hero's suffer would be Betting like CRAZY! Hell in the whole 'Hunt For Wolverine' event going on right now, a bunch of Villian's where placing Bet's on the DNA for a KID, mind you that kid is the little girl of Luke Cage and Jessica Jone's, but STILL. If THAT is what it is for the DNA of a kid of two STREET Level Hero's, IMAGANE the kind's of CRAZY that would happen for a bet on the ID of Spider-Man for instance, or any of the other big name hero's that have Secert Idenity's. Because not everyone has the fund's to be safe like TONY STARK MIND YOU, or the Fantasic Four either mind you, but that's a COMPELETY Different Can of Worm's... All of this, and I havent even GOTTEN to Civil War II, and that is even WORSE! While the first one MIGHT have had a point at one time of giving the Hero's Support when fighting Bad Guy's (Though It soon turned into Tony Acting like a total DICK to everyone else in the end, oh and Maria Hill too!) The second one was just... DUMB, like, it's not even a CONTEST, I mean in a universe Like Marvel's (And one that has seen ALL KIND'S OF THING'S MIND YOU!) How come everyone started fighting over a guy who's vison's where of ALTERNATE EARTH'S and NOT THERE OWN! You would THINK they would be willing to think it through and look into how his power's ACTUALLY WORK! But NOOOO! We have to have Captain Marvel And Iron Man fight eachother out because of the MOVIE comming soon to theater's, and also because of HYDRA Cap... Which I will be clear on, I am not a Cap fan, I'm a Spidey-Fan first and formost, but even I HATED how they turned Captain America, the guy who stand's for FREEDOM and LIBERITY! Into a FUCKING HYDRA AGENT (And YES I know how HYDRA aren't Nazi's persay, but if it look's like a Duck, walk's like a Duck, and QUACK's like a Duck, then unless anything SOLID say's otherwise, then it's a Duck, get my meaning?). I was one of those who where just ANNOYED THE FUCK OUT at what they had done, I'll admit the idea of a guy like Steve Rodger's becoming a Bad Guy and how he DOES it is freaky as all HELL and a good reason to be glad that isn't him NORAMLLY! It does NOT make it any easier to deal with the fact that they did it to HIM above ANYONE ELSE! Hell even Superman: RED SON, which is an elseworld's story about what if instead of landing in Kansas, that Superman Landed in SOVIET RUSSIA! Did BETTER than that and even came out BEFOREHAND! Hell, even Dark Kinght's METAL's Batman who Laugh's is BETTER THAN THIS CHEAP KNOCKOFF of Captian America, when you've got a version of Batman who is so messed up and the like that it has THE JOKER saying it's a bad idea to work with him, THAT say's something about how REAL Terror is for a 'Bad-version of a Goodguy' kind of trope.
But that's that for this little response, got a reply for me? Also I WISH I had some artwork for an O.C. of a story of mine (Pretty much a what if I where in the Marvel Universe sort of thing, will most ceartinly do one for DC at some point as well.) And I really wished that an Artist could do a concept piece for me, sadly I don't even have a few cent's to spare for a Commsion, much less anything else. and while Your art style might not be a match for a 'Proof of concept' if I ever had the time to get a stylized Drawing of it done, I'd be happy to pay you a commsion on it!

Okay, well, first of all, in that first paragraph, were you commenting on MY idea, or something else?
Well, I was never a fan of the "Superior" Spider-Man arc, either. That, to me, was just dumb. And toward the end, I think even the writers realized that it was an idiotic idea. A couple of examples...in the Green Goblin story, after Peter gets his brains back, he tries to explain the situation to Miguel O'Hara, after Ock left him to die, fighting a bunch of Living Brain robots under Norman's control. At the end, Peter doesn't expect Miguel to believe a word he just said, until Miguel replies, "Yeah...that sounds JUST stupid enough to be right". A little later, there's a subsequent story where Black Cat tries to kill Peter during a fire and Peter doesn't have time to fight her AND rescue some firefighters who are trapped in the building. So he smashes his fist through the wall, making it LOOK like he was trying to kill Cat, spouts a bunch of pompous crap, exactly like Ock would have said, and scares Cat enough that she runs off. After which, Peter remarks, "I can't believe that worked...I can't believe he had me talking like that for a YEAR and nobody had a CLUE".
It's not hard to question that logic. I remember a Fantastic Four story where Reed Richards was trapped inside Doctor Doom's armor. The problem was that Doom had programmed safeguards into the armor's software to ensure that HE was the only one who could ever wear it. But since Reed couldn't get out, the armor's programming followed the only course of action left available to it...which was to "rewire" Reed's brain and turn him INTO Doctor Doom. Of course, Sue and the rest of the team pretty much figured out, right off the bat, that something was up. And it only took a matter of DAYS, not an entire friggin' YEAR.
Getting back to Spider-Man, however, to be fair, it turned out that not EVERYONE was clueless. Ock had gone out of his way to sever ties to as many people Peter was close to, as possible, so as to reduce the possibility of anyone suspecting anything. But it was actually Carlie Cooper, an old girlfriend of Peter's, who figured the whole thing out (since she'd been out of Peter's life for years, she was never on Ock's radar), which is actually how Norman figured out the truth. He brainwashed Carlie with Goblin Serum and she gave up all the information she'd collected, over the entire year Ock was running around in Peter's body.
As for Mephisto, well, with any luck, he probably won't be back. At least if you go by the "One Moment in Time" story. Quesada penned it so that the last the last thing MJ whispered to Mephisto before he left was a side agreement that if SHE talked Peter into accepting the deal, he'd never come into Peter's life again. Was it a pathetic, cowardly (and utterly transparent) attempt at misdirection, on Quesada's part, trying to put the blame for HIS decision-making on a fictional character? Oh, ABSOLUTELY! But with any luck, it'll keep that nonsense from ever happening again...assuming of course, it isn't forgotten about. Writers, sadly enough, have a very sad history of selective amnesia.
Well, Civil War (the comic) was mishandled, to be sure. But I guess, no more so than Marvel's version of the Illuminati. And yeah, the whole Captain America/Hydra angle was pretty dumb. What's ironic was, Marvel said that Civil War was supposed to set the stage for Marvel for the next 50 years. It barely lasted FIVE, before the Superhero Registration Act was repealed. But then, what do you expect? Remember when they killed off Human Torch and swore on a stack of bibles that he was NEVER going to return? We all know how long THAT lasted, right? They made the same promise with Wolverine, too? It's only been...HOW long, now?
As for your comments on the Dark Nights: Metal arc, the truth is, I never cared for that idea. My main issue with it is how it just goes to show how Batman has become COMPLETELY over-saturated, in the industry. Now I get that the primary inspiration for the idea was most likely the original Elseworlds story, "Batman: In Darkest Knight", where Bruce Wayne becomes the Green Lantern of Sector 14826. But when you get right down to it, isn't that all Dark Nights: Metal actually WAS...just a bunch of Elseworlds Batman stories, gone horribly wrong?
Now, as for this OC you've cooked up...well, why don't you give me the details, first? And we'll see where we can go from there.

What I was commenting on in the first paragraph was me agreeing to you saying how Gwen Will always be Peter's First Gal and the like, also I should let you know that I have ZERO mean's of payment for you if I could even, I barely have the cash to have a decent living as is, that is REALLY pushing it!
Still if you want to at least talk about the whole thing, then it's best to give you the Details that I have right now (Mind you it's all still work in progress.)
First off, he is... I guess you could call him an 'Author Avatar' on one sense, but on the other he's pretty much me in EVERY single way, just if I where in a Universe like Marvel or DC or otherwise.
So in the Fanfic that I'm focusing on that is meant to be a 'Debut' piece of sort's, he has this thing that I'm calling a 'Symbitech' (Working Title mind you.) And as a Reference, then I guess Scorn (The Symbiote, look it up if you don't know.) but also having these Armored Plate's along his body as a sort of Body Armor layer (more so for covering of Vital Area's than anything else.) And in term's of Power's, I don't want to Spoil them all, and I'm still trying to figure out what fair and isn't OP by any mean's, I don't want my OC to a Mary-Sue type of figure (or Gary-Stu in this case.) So what he can do is Stick to surfaces, he can climb walls like Spider-Man (His sense of Balance isn't thrown off because the Suit is able to have a 'hard limit' on how much blood can go to a part of the body at any one time, think of how a G-Suit work's and it's pretty much the same, although it's on the INSIDE of his body rather than the outside in term's of affect, it's also good for keeping him from bleeding so much from Bullet wound's and such) and has a Fair amount of Strength (It change's as he get's more used to his suit and also because of Something I'll get to later...) In term's of overall power, about as much as say Spidey most of the time. But He only get's to that point LATER, so at the start he'll be more like Cap in term's of Strength.
Of course his look's. They are of a guy with with Neat and Short Black hair with Broad Shoulder's, and Hazel Eye's, his lips aren't too plump, but not overly thin either, his body is of a rather Normal weight (He of course used to be rather Heavier, but since he got his suit he managed to Trim down a fair amount,) and his Height is somewhere around 5'10", although he can be 6 feet proper given time and growth.
His suit's color arrangement are like how Spidey's classic Red and Blue outfit is, Minus the Webbing, and the color's proper ad White Main, and Light Grey Secondary, with "Tron Lines" along his body that Glow blue, he as an alternate color Scheme that's a sort of 'Secondary Mode' where his suit's color's go from White-to-Black, Light Grey-to-Dark Grey, and Blue-to-Red. Pretty much the Opposite Color Scheme to his normal suit (As to WHY he has that I'll tell later if you want.)
He also has these Grapple line's along his Wrist's that he uses to get from place to place, he can swing around with them like Spider-Man can with his Web's, or he can use them to launch himself forward like a Web Zip, but his Grapple Line's can't do much normally like Spidey's Web's can, but he can change out the 'Head' of the Line he's using when it's retracted for a few different kind's examples include: A Magnetic head able to attach itself to any metallic Surface and isn't so easy to get off (We're talking about a SUPER Strong Magnet here, but it set to a Mental Switch that make's it go on and off when he want's it too.) A Blunt head to provide a quick nock out blow to what he's aiming at. And a Capture Net that can keep someone Down rather well, of course it's not that it will be able to keep someone like The HULK tied up forever, but it can hold him down for a few minute's at least. I'm still trying to figure out all of the thing's, but he mostly uses his Grapple line's to move and Swing through the city. Now the cases that Hold the Grapple line's are rather Small, enough so to make it not stick out so much from him, and they meld into his Suit, since his suit is what made it in the first place.
Speaking of Gadget's...
His suit has the Ability to create a Weapon's system that can adapt itself to whatever he need's it to be. Let's say he's dealing with Sniper's for example, his suit will make the Weapon into a Long Range Rifle, if he's going up against a lot of guys at medium range, it'll turn into an Assault-Style rifle and so on... Now I need to make it clear he does NOT kill, he's not the Punisher, he's not like Frank Castle, what he'll use to fire will at first be a type of Rubber Bullet, albeit one that is FAR more effective than normal one's, but over time it will change into a type of Energy System, what kind of Energy he uses I'm still not sure of, I was thinking of having him use his Life Energy but it doesn't shorten his lifespan when he shoot's, instead it'd be more like how Iron Man for a time had to deal with in term's of his Armor and Arc Reactor, he he uses to much power, he'll possibly die. But he learn's to make 'Battery Mag's' that are Pre-charged when he isn't on Patrol or otherwise busy, but if he's in a REALLY bad fight or otherwise need's to do a LOT of Damage in one go, then he will empty ALL of his Mag's and Tap into his main source to do a super charged shot, one that will DEVASTATE whatever it hit's and leave him barely standing, so it's REALLY a desperate 'If all else fails and nothing work's, use this!' kind of option, the kind he'd use in a fight with Thanos for example. (also the way the 'gun' make's itself is taken from a Game called Vanquish, if you haven't played it, just look it up, it had a lot of good idea's that I'm using for myself.)
As for his head, well he'll have a Mask, I was thinking of having it be like Spider-Man's, only with out the Web's again and having the Eye lenses glow like the rest of his suit and change when it does.
And that's all I could get working from my head right now, hope it was enough for you to work with!

True. But like the pic Description says, the only main difference is her parentage.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, not much is going to change, beyond that. The only real difference will be her hair, which will be a sandy blonde, instead of auburn. And MJ will still be in the picture, but she'll be May's godmother (and will actually be the one who designs the costume you see here).

Is this the female clone of Peter Parker or is she a real person?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, "Mayday" Parker is VERY real. She hails from an alternate future (originally known in the comics as the M2 Universe), where she's the daughter of Peter and Mary Jane.
I'm kind of tweaking that a bit, in that my version is actually going to be the daughter of Peter and Gwen. That's why I altered the costume a bit, to reflect Gwen's design, somewhat. But the basic character is going to be the same.

Nice idea, impossible in ANY reality. For the Spider-man story to continue, Spider-man's first love HAS to die. Same with Spider-Gwen, Peter had to die in her story, as she had to die in Peter's. So, no matter how you slice it, this Spider-girl simply can't exist.

Actually, Peter and MJ had a daughter at one point. You'll have to look up more on her, but she definitely exists!

I think Takuya Yamashiro would beg to differ. Along with a few other Spideys.

Well, if we were just going strictly with the comics and the Spiderverse, angle, then you'd be absolutely correct. It would also be somewhat inappropriate as well, since Gwen's still in her teens, while Peter's well into his 30s.
However, with my fanfic ideas, I'm planning to turn Gwen into "Spider-Gwen" in the SSM continuity (she'll have a considerably different origin). And if you'll allow me, I'd like to explain the reason why.
I actually think Bob Chipman (aka. Moviebob) said it best on one of his Youtube videos..."At some point, we've got to stop forcing 'legacy comics' and comic adaptations to be defined by a handful of one-time, edgy, boundary-pushing books from the late-80s, and the avalanche of mediocrity they begat in the 90s". Granted, Gwen Stacy died in the 70s and Bob was mostly pointing the finger at DC Comics when he said this, but the same logic is there, since this is one point where Marvel has allowed itself to remain perpetually stuck in time for the same basic reason.
It's true that the death of Gwen Stacy has always been a milestone in the Marvel Universe. But for whatever reason (possibly because the story was such a hit and Marvel hasn't met a success story yet that they won't milk into a shriveled husk...just ask Eddie Brock, back when he was Venom), Marvel has insisted that this remain a fixed point in the universe, from cradle to grave, etched in stone, somewhere in God's Library up in Heaven. So much so, that they had to regurgitate Gwen's death in the Ultimate Spider-Man comics, only to bring her back and then kill off Peter Parker, not long after. And then, of course, we look at what happened in Spider-Gwen's universe. Marvel has internalized this whole thing so much, it's as if the very idea of Peter and Gwen experiencing any happiness together is some kind of universal taboo.
Well, I propose it's high time people got a chance to actually see the path not taken. Granted, back in 1973, Gwen's death WAS tragic. It WAS shocking. It WAS edgy and groundbreaking for its time. And you know what? After over four decades...the fandom has pretty much gotten over it. It's like when Marvel kept resurrecting and killing off Jean Grey in the X-Men comics over and over again. That first time was a gut-check, to be sure. But after we've gone over this for the third or fourth time, there's just no meaning to it anymore.
That's why everyone collectively embraced the very idea of Spider-Gwen so fervently (much to Marvel's initial shock, seeing as how she was only ever meant to be a one-off character), because she made those fans realize something...something most of them have likely been feeling for quite some time now, even if they weren't consciously aware of it until she brought it to the surface. And that is, quite simply, that they're all pretty much fed up with being forced to ONLY think of Gwen Stacy as JUST "Peter Parker's dead girlfriend". They wanted to finally see something more to her, and Spider-Gwen gave them the opportunity to do that.
And while this is just speculation on my part, I'd like to think that Greg Weisman would have felt the same, had circumstances swung that way. I get that Spider-Gwen wasn't even a gleam in anyone's eye yet and that if the series HAD continued, he most likely WOULD have gone the way of Gwen getting killed, simply because he would have had no other point of reference to go on. But I can't help wondering, if Spider-Gwen was swinging around back in 2011 and the series had kept going, would Weisman have maybe taken the "out" and gone in THAT direction instead of locking himself onto the beaten path? I don't know, but I'd like to think...
Bottom line, I'd just like to see what happens if we turn left instead of turn right. And I think a lot of other people would like to see it at as well. So...yeah, this Spider-Girl WILL be coming...at least for a couple of stories in MY fanfics. ^_^

Okay, okay, I see where your coming from. I can understand you being tired of following the same path as others over and over again, like so many others. I guess I just didn't really understand where you were going with this spider-girl.

Well, I hope you didn't take it too personally. Granted, I went off on a bit of a tear there, but I was primarily ranting against Marvel, not you. In reality, I shouldn't have expected you to understand where I was going, since you're one of the people I haven't told my SSM ideas to.

Don't worry, I knew you weren't going after me personally. When it started to sound a little rant-y, I knew it wasn't in my direction.

Well, in the comics, yes, she is NOW. In the "Spiderverse" arc, the Peter Parker from her timeline is now dead. He tried to protect her, her baby brother, and Mary Jane from the spiritual vampire, Morlun and was killed in the attempt. So in the aftermath of the story, when Morlun and his family were finally defeated, May returned to her own time and changed her name to Spider-Woman in order to honor his memory. She even adopted the original Peter Parker costume.
As for me, I'm not planning to take things quite THAT far.

Well, Morlun and his family were a bunch of weird characters. I don't think we ever got what they were REALLY all about.
Still, you know they'll cook up a reason to bring her back again. She's proven too consistently popular not to. And that's why I want to get at least one or two SSM fanfics off the ground with her in them. That's probably about as far as I'd go, however.

I adore Spider-girl. I loved her comics (and over one hundred issues isn't TOO short-lived). The influence from the more recent Spider-Gwen is certainly a nice touch. Great work.

Well, I'm not saying SHE was short-lived. The MC2 Universe, in general was short-lived. And if the events of the "Spiderverse" arc are any indication, just like Spider-Man 2099, Marvel is always looking for excuses to bring her back, hence why I call her the "sole survivor".
Glad you like the pic. ^_^

Nice pic, Aaron. I don't know why, but I get the feeling this will probably be one of your most popular pics.

Well, it's certainly gaining Comments and Faves at a faster pace than some of my most recent pics. But that may be owed more to Spider-Girl's popularity than anything else. Nevertheless, I'm pleased. Glad you like the pic, too. ^_^

Out of curiosity, are we going to see what May looks like in civilian mode?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm thinking about it. Still unsure what I want her to look like, though. I know I want to change her hair color from auburn to a sandy brown (in light of the fact that in my fanfic ideas, her mother's now a blonde instead of a redhead). But I still don't know what I want her hairstyle to look like. Do I go with the short hair she started out with when she was all tomboyish and into sports? Or do I go with the long hairstyle she sported for a while, as she began taking cues from her mother and adopting a more feminine personality? I know she recently went back to the short hair again, but I'm still kind of tilting on the scales, so to speak.

Deadpool...I mean Spider-Girl! Sh*t!
You did not just do that.
S**T!!!
Looks nice BTW.

Yeah, I doubt even LADY Deadpool would stand for that.
Still, glad you like the pic. ^_^

Well to be fair even Deadpool sometimes makes this said mistake, so adding Rule 63 to the mix would be within is...well line of thinking.
And NP.

He should have been around during the "Spider-Verse" arc of Ultimate Spider-Man, then. At least then, he would have been right. Though I always thought it was kind of a shame that we never got to see the REAL Spider-Girl in that. I guess the writers were just afraid of having to explain MJ, especially since she's virtually a non-presence on the show anymore.

It's Spider Gwen with a Spider-Man skin!
May guess... It's a legendary skin worth 1820 RP!
All jokes aside, this looks really cool!

RP?
Glad you like the pic, though. ^_^

It means RP. It's just a somewhat-inside joke I like to make from time to time.
No prob!

Probably why I don't know what it means.

Dammit, how stupid of me, I meant to say "Riot Points". You use riot points to buy skins in lol. Same goes to other MOBAs too, though they are called different.
Sometimes I don't think when I type. :/

Ah, so it's kind of like in-game currency for certain games. I see. That's what I thought, but I wasn't familiar with the term. So, you know...best to be sure and all that.

Well, as my pic Description indicates, in my fanfic ideas, it's more like "Auntie MJ" is borrowing off "Mom's" style. But either way, glad you like the pic. ^_^
