Spider-Man is single again!!!!
Comic book bosses have sparked controversy by wiping out the web slinger’s long time marriage to sweetheart Mary Jane Watson.
Spidey is back as a bachelor in his 20s living at home with his elderly aunt in the latest Spider-Man comic Called Spiderman's Brand New Day, released this week.
Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson tied the knot back in 1987. But in the latest comic evil character Mephisto offers to save the life of Parker’s aunt if he and Mary Jane turn their back on their romance.
The move has sparked outrage among Spider-Man’s die-hard fans. “So every single issue that I have ever read never happened? Thanks a lot guys,” reader ‘jdniul97 wrote on a Marvel.com message board.
“I really appreciate having a company that I’ve given a lot of money over the years crap all over me.”
Another reader, ‘jeffgamer’, posted: “The Spider-Man I’ve loved and read about 34 years is dead now.”
Stan Lee, who created Spider-Man, isn't involved in the current story but called it "a very creative idea."
"It should stimulate a lot of interest in the characters and the books, and I'm eager to see what happens next," he said.
The 85-year-old comic book legend said it's a challenge to come up with new and interesting dilemmas for beloved characters that have been around for decades.
"You have to introduce new elements to spark interest, to keep it alive. That's the reason we decided years ago to have Peter and MJ get married in the first place," said Lee, who married the couple in a mock ceremony at New York's Shea Stadium in 1987.
"Amazing that they're not even middle-aged yet," he quipped.
Marvel Comics said that they were was no story left after Peter's marriage so they decided to change the whole story again and Marvel also revealed that they had been Regretting this decesion since 1987 .Weird...
