Quote: Yes, there's also still the matter of the 'demon Mary Jane' from the astral plane to considerYes, absolutely. I totally agree. It is an important element of the story since the protagonists were travelling through Peter Parker's soulscape. In my case, the problem is that I may overinterpret what Nick Spencer is intending. For example, I can't help noticing that Kindred is a mummy protected by centipedes: -In Egyptian mythology, centipedes ward off evil spirits and are associated with death & afterlife. Sepa, the centipede god, was depicted as a mummified figure. -The centipedes appear in Mesoamerican mythologies. In Maya mythology, centipedes are associated with the afterlife, death deities & the underworld. Mummification was practiced by the Aztec culture. -In Mesopotamian mythology, centipedes protect against Lamashtu (a demon who menaced women during childbirth and kidnapped their children) but mummification was not practiced in Mesopotamia. Thus, what actually is Kindred? Also, I can't help thinking that Norman Osborn might have ritually sacrificed Baby May with the aim of resurrecting Harry. But it cannot be that, can it? https://www.cbr.com/spider-man-norman-osborn-green-goblin-worst-deeds-ever/ Addressing the death of the baby is the one element in Spider-Man's history that Marvel has vetoed for years (except once, in 2005, in Marvel Knights: Spider-Man). Also, Baby May died in 1996 whereas Harry Osborn returned in 2007. So, it cannot be the one & only satisfying explanation, can it? I can't figure out yet what the key to the mystery is... Nota Bene: 1993: Harry Osborn apparently died. 1994: Scrier(s) first encountered Spider-Man. 1995: "Aunt May" apparently died. 1996: Mendel Stromm & Norman Osborn returned. Baby May apparently died. Alison Mongrain first appeared & snatched the body of the stillborn child. 1997: Alison Mongrain was in Europe. Mad Jack (Daniel Berkhart & Maguire Beck) worked for Norman Osborn. 1998: An artificial Green Goblin patterned after Harry Osborn manifested himself in New York. Wilson Fisk was in Paris. Alison Mongrain died & Aunt May returned. 1999: Quentin Beck kidnapped Baby Karen and apparently died. 2000: The artificial Green Goblin died. 2002: Vanessa Fisk apparently killed Richard Fisk. 2005: Mac Gargan told Peter Parker that Norman Osborn may have been responsible for the death of Baby May. 2006: "Undead Quentin Beck" made a cameo appearance. 2007: Vanessa Fisk apparently died - 'One More Day' - Harry Osborn apparently returned. 2008-2018: At one moment in time, Quentin Beck was apparently resurrected. 2018: Kindred manifested himself in New York. | |||||||
