Remember that time Carnage sent his symbiote down phone lines to kill gamers through their modems?

Has that ever come up again, that Symbiotes can do that?

It only works on gamers so it doesn't come up much.

Yeah you’d think it would come up just for a joke where Carnage curses wi-fi

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Ten thousand grandpa symbiote players of Civ 4 to storm New York at Carnage’s command.

We need a scene where Carnage wants to kill the guy he’s playing against in Street Fighter because the other guy’s connection is so bad, but can’t because the guy’s playing with wi-fi

They can't print gamer word in comics, so they can't accurately represent it

They've done it before, admittedly in a very different context.

I miss when comics would explain every character’s powers every issue. Because I do not understand why Scarlet Spider has a single Wolverine claw.

In that specific case I'm not sure you want the explanation. Also not sure it would even fit in a recap page.

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.

Long story short, Spider-Man's powers had a mystical element to them, Kaine-Scarlet Spider ended up basically inheriting all the mystical elements while Peter kept the basic poo poo, so he could pop out 'stingers' for some reason.

I still can't believe the angsty, evil clone version of Spider-Man had his own on-going, that it lasted 25 freaking issues when Marvel can't have anything reach more than 6 these days before cancelation, and that it managed to be pretty drat good, even leaving me hoping for more.

Yeah he's popped up a few places. He's in the current Spider-Man story still trying to get his memories back. He has caused Peter to get Goblinized.

I mean technically it hasn’t happened yet but I think it’s going down in the next issue. The last issue dealt with Queen Goblin (not to be confused with Goblin Queen who also has been involved in the Ben story) trying to put a whammy on Ben and Peter showed up to save him. And future covers have Peter as a Goblin on them so I’m kinda just putting the pieces together myself here.

I just learned recently that when Zeb Wells was writing all that Peter/MJ/Whatever his name was junk, he was going through a divorce. A divorce from his wife who's a Saturday Night Live actress.
