31 Days of Scans - Favorite Canonical Romance: Otto Octavius and Anna Maria Marconi

[cyberghostface]

One of the things I liked the most about Superior Spider-Man was the romance between Otto Octavius (in Peter Parker's body) and Anna Maria Marconi. It gave Otto some humanity but it was also nice to see a non-stereotypical little person for once (although it's getting better with characters like Tyrion from A Song of Ice and Fire).

Anna Maria was first introduced in #5 as 'Peter's tutor.





#6...






Later...



#10...







They started to date after this point.


In #21...



#22...



#30...

Later on, when the Green Goblin has kidnapped her, it's Anna Maria that causes Otto to give back his body to Peter.





#31...



Particularly tragic was this reveal later on in Amazing Spider-Man...



In case you haven't seen it, Peter came clean to her about the mind swap, she believed him and the two have remained friends with one another.

Finally in Superior Spider-Man #32 and #33 (which took place during a time blip earlier in the series where Spidey finds himself stranded in 2099) we have these two scenes.

Dude still used Peter Parker's body to do what he was doing. Obviously there's no way to argue that Anna Maria would still fall for Otto knowing that he's Otto Octavius, but it seems extremely freaking doubtful.
