Mister Negative, maybe the one Brand New Day idea that's stuck.

(Shame about Freak and, uh - Paper Doll.)

Yeah even at the time he was the only new character I thought that had any potential.

Put to very good use in the Insomniac games!

I thought Overdrive and Screwball worked well enough as minor annoyances. Spider-Man beating up on the same old "joke villains" gets old after a while.

I still think they should have done more with JJJ as mayor.

Or Betty being the last woman standing as the Bugle died.



I'm still fascinated by the idea of the original Jackpot. Who greenlit this character? People literally only cared about her because of who she MIGHT be and - once you reveal that she ISN'T MJ - no one cared. Seriously, what was the plan for when people found out she wasn't the popular character that had been written out of the comic? Did they think fans'd fall in love with the empty costume of a character one her own merits?

I assume the plan was everyone would stop caring about MJ when they fell in love with Carlie Cooper. Funny how that didn't work out.

I still think it's funny that Alpha and (retcon) Spider-Boy are both products of Big Time.

...unless Slott is using this mini to tweak Bailey's timeline some more.

Wouldn't a morally inverted Frank Castle be, like, the least dangerous possible enemy?

He commits crimes, but only through principled nonviolence.

He commits crimes, but only through principled nonviolence.
And bunnies and unicorns and teddy bears and oh so many types of stuffed animal toys.
