It's Spider-man, not Spider-Man, not Spiderman, not SpiderMan.
Scarlet Spider (clone of Spider-man) was Ben Reilly, and that storyline STUNK. It was not a "really cool saga." It was so bad that even continuity obsessed Marvel doesn't refer to it, and prefers to pretend it never happened.
It's Harleen Quinzel, not Harline Quinzile.
Ya'll got Jason Todd right, finally. Kudos.
Todd McFarlane created Venom, not Stan Lee.
Ventriloquist's dummy is named Scarface. |
Well, the spelling of Spider-MAN is rather random, it tends to go back and forth between Man and man in various publications. man tends to be more prevelent, but I stick to Spider-Man because, well, that's just correct, grammar wise. It's a name, a hyphen=space, so man is another word, thus negating it be capitalized. Whether Stan Lee thought of that to begin with or not, there is no excuse for bad grammar.
And, no... the Clone Saga WAS a really cool saga. And you know why that is? Because, it's my opinion! Yes, wow, I am entitled to that, oddly enough. True, most fans hated it, and Marvel swept it under the rug, but that doesn't change the fact that it was one of the most creative comic stories of all time with the most insane twists I recall seeing.
And, I hope you can forgive the egrievous act of me saying Harley instead of Harleen... that's just horrible of me. I really shouldn't consider myself a comic book fan after something like that.
Everything else... I knew anyway, so, carry on. |

| Heh, well spoken Top. Yes, my opinion also is that it was a great saga. Hey Top, remember how psycho Peter was when they told him Ben was the original and he was the clone? |
