A Celestial is judging the Marvel universe. Peter's version of the Celestial is apparently Gwen Stacy. 'Gwen' freaks out upon seeing Peter working for Norman.
'Gwen' (or the Celestial) deems Peter worthy and gives him a 'gift' which is a moment with the real Gwen.
I forget, was the fan theory about MJ remembering the deal ever confirmed? If not, it feels less like he's inflicting suffering on people and more like a little private joke Mephisto has to himself.
(Which - I agree - still seems like a thing he'd do)
With 100 issues (more if you count the relaunches) and lots of spin-offs, I think Spider-Girl is more comparable to Ultimate Spider-Man than anything you mentioned.
Your assessment of the Progenitor's Judgements made me realize something; this is just Secret Wars 2 with someone else in the Beyonder role.
(That's not necessarily a complaint because it was expecting it to be yet another Civil War)
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
