Spider-Men - more info about the crossover

[sherkahn]

USAtoday.com has further update as to who is the Big Bad that is bringing the Spider-men from two very different universes together.

"Mysterio, the nefarious magic man who has been a Spider-Man villain since the hero's earliest days, is the guy who finds a rift between the regular Marvel Universe and the alternate-reality Ultimate Universe, a plot device that is central to the upcoming Spider-Men."

More....

"Peter arrives in a world where its Peter Parker died in the line of duty being Spider-Man, inspiring Miles to become a hero, and Peter will encounter all the people who were important to the alternate version of him, such as Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane Watson.
"

If you read further into the story, it sounds like the writers really put some heart into this, a true "miles stone" (pun intended) for the heroes who wear the webs.

Yes, but the age gap would be about 5-10 years, depending on what degree Peter got. Definitely squick more then a few people out.

Gwen was 18-20 when she died. According to Marvel, Peter is around 25. Logically, there's no way that's possible, but that's what they want. I don't think a 25 year old dating an 18 year old would raise too many eyebrows. Even a 30 year old dating a 20 year old wouldn't be too unusual.

Ok, if you say so. I admit I'm not very perceptive when it comes to anything like that, so you're probably right.
