the burglar

Doc Ock

Skip

After 25 issues I've long since stopped caring

No joke, Traveler.

It fits his style.

Deepest lore.

You guys think he'll be a one time only villain or a recurring one with a major arc every once in a while?

Someone had a good theory on why it could be the burglar who shot uncle Ben.

Meme answer: Skip

It's part of Peter's soul that Mephisto got in the One More Day Deal

I went back and read the exact wording of the deal. Mephisto states:
>You will not consciously remember this bargain, or this moment, or the life you have lived to this point. But there will be a very small part of your soul that will remember, that will know what you lost.
>and my joy will be in listening to that part of your soul screaming throughout eternity.

So I think it's a fragment of Peter's soul that's been driven insane from torment, and remembers the marriage. It's why he hates Peter because he hates that he went through with the deal, and why he cares about MJ.

And what Mysterio said about it being a prisoner of hell that rose through the ranks and became a demon himself only strengthens my theory.

Does it have to be somebody? Maybe it's just a new guy

My money is on either Mayday or Peter from the timeline thatbwas erased by OMD

It could also maybe explain the centipede stuff. Maybe that Peter retained the abilities of The Other and got corrupted from his time in Hell?

You joke but I'm damn sure it is Skip and not 616 Gwen Stacy. The most obvious answer could be Carlie Cooper but I still have doubts about that. Another theory to consider is some sort of Octavius connection. His centipedes see oddly similar to how Otto's arms are posed

Kindred:
>Died before '98
>Blames Peter for his death and possibly death of others.
>Wasn't generally evil person, doesn't want to get innocents killed even now
>Knew MJ when he was alive

So the OMD stuff is out, Spidercide is out, Burglar is out. I would bet on Captain Stacy, but he was revived for some time in Clone Conspiracy and Spencer himself confirmed that the revived clones had original souls.

I feel like the Burglar is a cliche but also probable answer.

If it is connected to OMD, I really like the idea of it being some sort of corrupt, split off version of Aunt May.
Though even then feels more probable.

Aunt May doing it unconsciously because of some bullshit reason that created a villain persona for her. Probably that her "cancer" is something that's possessing her

Where do you get the 1998 stuff?

Because Kindred tortured Mysterio when he went to hell, so he would have to be there before the end of the Guardian Devil storytime.

That's not true at all. We don't know how long he was in hell at all, especially since time works differently there with being tortured for eternity and all that jazz

its the burgler. the identity mysterio used to escape him was the one he used to work with and betray the burgler in the story he died he died of a heart attack thinking peter was gonna kill him in revenge for uncle ben. he said how he dislikes killing innocents which fits with him killing ben is what lead to his arrest and death. not to mention he had a daughter who was close with ben

If it is Burglar, why Kindred tho?

the burglar

Sliding timeline probably doesn't work with the 98 theory. I like the Peter soul fragment thing.

Same. It's just dragging its feet way too much.
It was a riot to read him say WE CAN'T DO THIS FOREVER in the most recent issue. 'cuz boy it sure feels like you can.

This isn't nothing. Look at the shit Bendis and King are doing over at DC. I'm personally fine with the pacing right now. But yes, it's perhaps time the Kindred mystery start ramping up. The Kraven story was Spencer doing canon cleanup for future writers, and he probably feared he wasn't going to get around to it in time. That said it really did fuck with the momentum

>Look at the shit Bendis and King are doing over at DC.
Sounds a whole lot like the "if there is worse then this can't be bad" fallacy.

Well not really what I was trying to get at, but I see your point. I did mention The Hunted fucking with the pacing. However as I said, personally I'm still content with what Spencer has been doing.

something irrelevant as usual

I like it.

You know what I REALLY want it to be that no ones guessed?
Mysterio's alt personality. Guys gone skitzo

Sliding timeline doesn't matter, it's not in-universe time, but publishing time.

>OMD stuff is out
They've said Mysterio was freed by Kindred, but never that Kindred was there first, though.

Though if the PAD stuff during Civil War is part of it then the pre-OMD stuff MIGHT have some bearing in it. That was the first Quentin Beck was running around confirmed as Mysterio. And naturally it predated OMD.

There was also a bit that when he came to hell he was tortured by Kindred. No mention of anything happening in hell before that, the assumption is that he probably was handled to him immediately.

>There was also a bit that when he came to hell he was tortured by Kindred
It only said "while" he was in hell, not "when" he got to hell.

It is that niggress bitch born from Petee's the Other

It's actually Uncle Ben.
