It may be hard to picture Spider-Man’s girl Mary Jane pregnant, but it happened in the Revelations storyline which took place beginning in Spectacular Spider-Man 240. Tragically, her coffee was drugged by the Green Goblin, which forced her to have a miscarriage. She loses the baby.
This happened as part of the controversial Clone Saga story arc
What bothers me about the whole thing is that I thought seeing Mary Jane pregnant is that I thought it would have been a great opportunity to introduce a new element and character into the Marvel Universe. I think about what an important part son Franklin Richards played for the Fantastic Four and how he added so much more to the continuing story. The idea of having another person for Spider-Man to care for, raise and talk to, would immensely allow more story writing freedom.
The particular issue where we see Mary Jane pregnant in the hospital performing a still-birth is in The Amazing Spider-Man 418 (Revelations part 3 of 4). I remember reading this comic as a kid, not understanding anything about what the back story was. All I knew was that the comic had fun artwork and cool action scenes. Sometimes I think that people overreact to story arcs that may have actually improved things if they had just allowed it to happen.
Do you feel the same way? Leave your thoughts about everything.
