Holy shoot! 50th anniversary? Wow, Spidey has come a long way, and he sure made his mark in the big Marvel Universe. Amazing. :)

Stay EPIC, my friends

I am Spartacus!

Oh, sorry, wrong thread!

I bet it's Uncle Ben, and the bullet that the robber shot and killed him with actually just trapped him outside the space/time continuum.

Oh, please don't let this be related to that deathly dull character Omega from back in the '70s...

HelaGood - 6/12/2012, 10:41 AM

or this guy...

HelaGood - 6/12/2012, 10:42 AM

maybe Spidey is joining Alpha Flight

SageMode - 6/12/2012, 11:29 AM

Omega Red's sister? :-)

cbcurry - 6/12/2012, 11:39 AM

Alpha = Zombie Reed Richards

niknik - 6/12/2012, 11:46 AM

Whoever he is I'll bet he's gay.

HannibalKing - 6/12/2012, 12:17 PM

If Alpha Flight are in this story, I'm buying. Somehow I doubt they're making an appearance though.

ITS THE ARTIST FORMERLY KNOWN AS PETER PARKER!!!!

SCURVYDOG619 - 6/12/2012, 3:05 PM

They are bringing back Alpha,the Ultimate Mutant!?! Talk about obscure: Magneto created Alpha ,who turned on his creator,ala Frankenstein's monster,and left Earth to journey through the universe and contemplate his future....
