History WMG / TheAmazingSpiderMan2022

Peter needs to feel even more guilty after he's purged of Norman's sins. The easiest way for this to happen is if he kills someone, and Paul is the most expendable character in the current run due to being hated by the fans. This will also cause further estrangement between Peter and MJ, just to make Peter even more miserable.

'''Confirmed''': Marvel announces the return of Ms. Marvel in ''Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant''.

The theory goes that Paul will grow jealous of MJ and Peter's growing connection and seek to bring the kids back using some form of magic or power to do so, which will lead to MJ and Peter teaming up to fight him. Once Paul is defeated, this will result in him going away in some form, whether his death or defeat. Considering the Jackpot Run pitched at Marvel, this could be a likely way to ease the next writer in without having to include any relationship drama.

'''Jossed''': An interview with Creator/DanSlott revealed he had plans for stories in his own ongoing Spider-Man title that involved Aunt May. In the wake of the ContentLeak, Marvel have announced that the big death will actually be Kamala Khan, Ms. Marvel. Aunt May does not even appear in Amazing Spider-Man#26

No seriously that's the big plot twist. Everything that happened is just a dream. Maybe a result of [=MJ's=] powers or however they end up explaining it but it's just a dream. That's how they'll justify the Black Cat love interest thing and Peter and MJ being apart. We're just seeing things from the perspective of the medium. If it can work for the newspaper strip continuity, it can work here.

[[WMG:MJ's slot machine powers, bracelet and inconsistencies come from Paul and the kids come from the the powers/bracelet]]
Pretty straight forward. Paul's actually a bad guy, gave Mary Jane the bracelet so she could "defend herself" when it came with the added bonus and messing with her head and creating the children as part of it's reality warping nature. This explains why she would give up on Peter despite knowing that Pete knew she was alive but trapped and he'd do everything he could to bring her home, the "temporal dilation" that somehow didn't effect her age or that of Paul who had been in the pocket universe longer(really no time passed it was all in her head), the daughter's unexplained name change, everything. Basically, Mary Jane was both mentally and during her "relationship" with Paul physically raped too and she'll realize this when the bracelet is destroyed with the kid's disappearing as well. This would also unfortunately become an another obstacle between Peter and Mary Jane as the latter would have to take time to deal with the trauma of such a realization while the former will have felt useless in protecting the woman he loves... again as it is the anniversary of Gwen's death(at least in our universe). And in all likelihood, it'd be Rabin that will expose this and Paul's dirty little secret of having been his partner in crime or something akin to a BigBadDuumvirate. And the reason this is most likely? Mary Jane is explicitly stated to be the endgame, resetting the relationship makes no sense. Killing her off wouldn't work, that's why she was spared and One More Day was done instead. The most tragic/shocking story wouldn't be something we'd naturally expect like a memory wipe or death would be so they'd have to go for something that would get audience's sympathy for her that they drove into the ground back.

'''Confirmed''' (Paul and the bracelet) and '''Jossed''' (the kids): Paul created the bracelet and warned Mary Jane of it's inconsistent powers, but the kids were creations of Benjamin Rabin.

The theory goes that Paul will grow jealous of MJ and Peter's growing connection and seek to bring the kids back using some form of magic or power to do so, which will lead to MJ and Peter teaming up to fight him, which will result in him going away. Considering the Jackpot Run pitched at Marvel, this could be a likely way to ease the next writer in.

'''Confirmed''': During the Fall of X, Kamala is revived by the protocalls at the Hellfire Gala, and the classified book was revealed as a mini-series called ''Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant'', which is co-written by the actress who plays Kamala in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

''Jossed'': Shortly after the loss of her children, Mary Jane begins to reconnect with Peter as a friend and it makes her the happiest she'd been in a while. When making her debut as the superhero Jackpot, Mary Jane also reveals she finally understands Peter's mantra of great power and responsibility.

'''Confirmed''', in ''Amazing Spider-Man#31'', Felicia breaks things off with Peter, admitting that they've been merely going through the motions with no real goals to achieve in their relationship. She wishes Peter well.

'''Confirmed''': In the pages of ''Spider-Man#9#'' by Dan Slott, during a dinner with Norman, Jameson and The Robertsons, Robbie suggests Peter hook up with one of the bridesmaids at his son Randy's wedding, an idea Aunt May fully supports. Considering May knew Peter was dating Felicia when they went on their spa vacation, it's possible Peter and Felicia have already parted ways and he is free to pursue other interests. In ''Amazing Spider-Man#31'' the two indeed break up, as Felicia believes there are no set goals in their relationship and they have simply been going through the motions.

'''Confirmed'': Marvel announces the return of Ms. Marvel in ''Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant''.

'''Jossed''': While Felicia is aware Peter still loves MJ, Peter wishes to move on from her and make whatever it is he has with the Cat work, and Felicia is well up for that... for now.

'''Jossed''': While Paul uses a mix of magic and technology to create Mary Jane's bracelet, he is real, though it is implied the children are constructs of Rabin, which is confirmed in ASM#26.

Considering May knew Peter was dating Felicia when they went on their spa vacation, it's possible Peter and Felicia have already parted ways and he is free to pursue other interests.

Kamala Khan calls Mary Jane "Spider-Man's girlfriend" in Amazing Spider-Man#26, MJ denies it in precisely the same way a tsundre in an anime would, her kids are erased from existence, her relationship with Paul remains as vague as ever and may now no longer survive without a family to take care of, and despite the current writer's preference for Peter and Felicia, it is on record that C.B Cebulski, Marvel's current Editor in Chief, understands that the fans want Peter and Mary Jane together. So it's all likely the run will end with Peter and Felicia broken up, something happened to Paul, and Peter and MJ will mend their relationship and their rare love will be restored...bring on the next character assassin with a sledgehammer!

'''Jossed''' (for now): While Paul is revealed to be the son of an evil being and even contributed to the destruction of his world, he feels guilt and shame for his actions and has tried to make amends ever since. He told Mary Jane all of this later in their relationship and MJ understood, having shared a life with another man burdened with guilt in Peter.

* Confirmed with the announcement of ''Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant''.

[[WMG: Khamala Khan will return to life eventually]]
Come on. She has [[Film/TheMarvels2023 a movie]] coming out later in the year. It's obvious that she isn't going to stay dead. This is [[DeathIsCheap the Marvel Universe]] after all.

[[WMG:All roads lead to the reunion of Peter and Mary Jane]]
Despite the current writer's preference for Peter and Felicia, it is on record that Cebulski, Marvel's current Editor in Chief, understands that the fans want Peter and Mary Jane together. So it's all likely the run will end with Peter and Felicia broken up, something happened to Paul and the kids while the rare love is restored into a fledging rekindling... Until the next writer mucks it all up.

As a result of the tragedies and reveals that happen in Issue #26, Peter and MJ will find it difficult to stay in the same room, talk over the phone, or even mention each other's names. The only time they would even willingly interact now is if third parties force them to, like Robbie's wedding. This will also cut her and Paul out of the supporting cast until the wedding event itself.

Judging from the emotional reading of the scenes in ''Amazing Spider-Man'' #25, and everything we've had to read leading up to it over a year, it's becoming clearer that Mary Jane is only staying with Paul out of pity and her concerns are more for how leaving him would affect her family, aka the 'chains' with which she is burdened with...she and Peter are in the hospital while Paul is being treated for his wounds...MJ is not suddenly going to be the first person Paul sees when he wakes up that tells him to his face she's going back to Peter right away. No woman, (brainwashed or not in MJ's case), would do that, even if her older romantic feelings are resurfacing, she has her responsibilities for the present. Now that the kids are gone, time will tell if Mary Jane and Paul have anything left in common as time goes on.
