So Spider-man kills Mary Jane by fucking her to death with his radioactive jizm! Seriously, that’s a plot point in issue #3 of Spider-Man: Reign. Set 35 years in the future, a sort of Spider-Mannish rip-off of Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns, so it’s not in mainstream continuity, but still. I guess they figure Warren Ellis sells well, let’s all try that gonzo shit.

No, no spoiler warning. Do you worry that a loaf of moldy bread or a carton of rancid milk will spoil? No, you don’t, because they’re already damn spoiled.

This is why I don’t read superhero comics. Much.

Radiation does not work that way.

Thank you.

The whole getting-spider-powers thing, though, that's realistic.

As has been pointed out elsewhere, in the Marvel universe, all radiation does is give you powers. In my version of events, she's the spectacular Spider Wife. Not a good idea, but at least it's possible to interpret the concept as "fun."
