Two. This one which is the original re-animated, and one from another dimension where Pete died and Gwen got spider-powers.

Did Slott forget that clone-Gwen is supposed to be identical to Gwen as she was when she died? Gwen died in college, meaning clone-Gwen is physically and mentally 20 years old, the same age Spider-Gwen is.

Was she ever really loved or just something they keep forcing for some reason? Her death is the only interesting thing about her history, before that she was mostly a bitch.

>>89092479
It's not so much that Slott doesn't get it as he has to go "not a clone" to tell readers this isn't like the 90's Clone Saga. On one hand I don't know if it's really working since he had to ask readers to remember to order more of Clone Conspiracy, on the other hand ASM is somehow still the best selling Marvel title that's not a Star Wars comic, or a new #1 with incentives, or the main Civil War II book.

>>89092498
Is that why Marvel is pairing Gwen and Miles? Did Marvel just forget she isn't a teenager?

So they're going to give the older cloned Gwen for Peter as a girlfriend while setting Miles with Spider-Gwen? Is that it?

Gwen is nine"teen", but that's not stopping them

Seriously, making it a team up with them talking about their dad issues then put out the kiss as a surprise is better than this forced pandering
>>
So this is the real Gwen?

Also how many fucking times will Slott use Jackal?
>>
>>89092627
Slott is always like "Peter Parker can't have superheroic love interests, that isn't grounded" so if he were to follow his own logic pairing him up with a supervillain-made clone of his dead gf couldn't happen since it wouldn't qualify as grounded
>>
>>89092681
No, this is a clone. The real Gwen is dead.

That's some pretty lame bait. I'm surprised people actually fell for it.
>>
>>89091910
>I am not a clone
That's exactly what a clone would say. In fact, that's literally what her first clone said. And her third clone. Maybe her fourth too? It's hard to keep track given the number of times the Jackal has cloned her.

Slott can't even be bothered to get Spider-Gwen's personality right. Do you honestly think he knows how old she is?
>>
>>89091819
I'm guessing that by saying she's not a clone, from another dimension, evil, or mind-controlled, she's actually all four plus a Life Model Decoy of a Doombot made to look like Gwen because Dr. Doom was bored that week.

>>89091937
Solicits are done 3 months ahead of time, so they have to take that into account when writing around spoilers.

Do you think Gwen's kids are going to get involved?

>>89092177
No, they were just 12 in 1972 and remember Gwendy as the best even though she was bland as fuck and the most important thing she ever did was die.
>>
>>89092727
>every opinion I disagree with is bait
Geez, I knew Spider-fags were childish but even this is too much.
>>
>>89092764
At the same time it just didn't seem like there were any surprises for who "came back from the dead". Like the only one would've been Uncle Ben.
>>
No one likes Gwen. Stop with all the not-Gwen's too
>>
>>89092790
Forgot to add, Uncle Ben would've been the only one who would've been a surprise. Gwen got cloned a few times in the 70's clone stories and the 90's Clone Saga.
>>
>>89092768
Gwen never had kids. Ever. That was just Dr Manhattan messing with time.
>>
>>89092641

How many universes are they crossing over? Watchmen are appearing in Spiderman comics now?

That depends on whether or not you consider a re-animated corpse created through pretty much the same process as cloning to be "real" or not.

>she knows he has good reason to think that

Honestly, why does he even bother with her at this point? Every single thing involving her since the first time she died only made her a worse character. At least she was smart before and was able to live with knowing she was a clone, but this is just putting what's left of her character into a meat grinder and putting a note saying "Property of Norman Osborn: I was her first and made sure I was also her last."
>>
>>89092371

He never will as long as the aforementioned writers are around and MJ or any other love interest written like shit.
>>
>>89091910
so why cant more clones realize what they are and move on
>>
>>89093053
Why though? It's not like anyone wants to buy Sins Past. Most creators probably think it was bad, too. Does Marvel think sweeping things under the rug magically make it go away? Oh wait.
>>
>>89093078
Because you need that super forced drama for all the fan rage. It's what Slott does. It's literally the only story he knows how to write.
>>
>>89091819
>Not a Clone
>A Clone Conspiracy Tie-In

Man, if Slott wanted to make people believe the "not a clone" hogwash, he is marketing this nonsense completely wrong.
>>
>>89093217
He's also acting like we have never seen a Gwen clone before or know how other clones are made.

Does Slott truly think his readership are that much of mouth breathing idiot's? If so, why do people like him again?

>>
>>89093379
It's build up and showing you character circumstances. Also you forget that Conway has probably been told to decompress the shit out of his writing.
>>
But she is a clone. Jackal didn't resurrect Gwen, he cloned her again.
>>
meh
>>
>>89093444
I think most of the readers know that. It's just Slott trying to push the "they're not clones!" thing.
>>
>>89093471
More people would buy it if there was some mystical element to this, showing us their souls are reentering their bodies or something.

>>
>>89093008
I bet after Slott's done retreading the Clone Saga he'll do a rehash of Sins Past.

Like that's literally his goal I feel, to tackle all these (in)famous Spidey stories and fuck them up even further.

Maybe he can have Jackal-Ben and Norman spitroast Gwen this time.
>>
>>89092425
That, not to mention when Peter saw the first Gwen clone and though it was really her he was hapoy to see her but wasn't that thrilled about her throwing herself at him because he was having feelings for MJ at the time.
>>
Why are they trying to make a big deal about Gwen still? We got Spider-Gwen and Gwenpool. Nobody cares about normal Gwen anymore.
This is like making the announcement that Iron Man is in Infinity Wars.
>>
>>89093514
that's still a clone
>>
>>89093652
If Spider-Gwen sales are going down do you suppose that they're trying to introduce a 616 version of Spider-Gwen?
>>
>>89093687
Sure, but at least he can say it's the real deal in that sense, instead of a new being created with memories of someone else.
>>
>>89093708
oh fucking joy
>>
>>89092311
I really don't get it. I've read plenty of old Spider-Man comics, and MJ was always way more likable than Gwen.
>>
>>89093433
0/10 bait. Keep trying.
>>
>>89093514
This. That would differentiate these clones from previous ones.

But Ben is using exactly the same process Miles has always used. Slott just thinks readers are dumb.
>>
>>89093618
When Pete saw the very first Gwen clone, he wasn't happy at all? The fuck are you talking about? He nearly had a mental breakdown.

>>89091868
>>89091892
>>89091910
Why is 616 Gwen always forced into the same exact outfit from the 60s? She's cloned naked, so SOMEONE has to be making the conscious decision to buy the exact same outfit she died in.

That's pretty ironic. You're the only one here throwing a fit over RYV. Just saying.
>>
>>89092472
Her death turned her into a saint. And for that, she became the "most beloved" character.

But really it works that way for a lot of people in real life. An artist's work doesn't become truly valuable until after they die, for instance. And think about all the celebrity deaths we've had where no one talks about them for years until AFTER they pass. There's a certain glorification in death that really brings forth the hypocrisy of the people who put the dead on a pedestal.

>>
>>89094000
Not immediately. That was mostly the fact that readers back then are no in charge. Also Marvels didn't help with painting her as kind and caring and extremely pure during the invasion by Namor.
>>
Bringing back Gwen is basically the Final Fantasy VII Remake of Marvel.

For years it was considered the hypest, most guaranteed money printing machine they could possibly make.

But then they waited too fucking long and now it's not that big a deal anymore.

After this fails to reignite Spider-Man's sales I guarantee Slott will finally be taken off the book.

I mean at least Gwen wasn't actually dating Peter at the time and Norman being the Goblin wasn't known.
Pretty sure screwing your friends parents is considered a no go area.
>>
>>89094241
Spiderman is going to get a huge boost when that movie comes out. Sorry, but its time you accept that Spider-man belongs to Slott and will until he dies.
>>
>>89094000
>>89094143
Even at the time, a lot of people were really mad and Stan Lee kept getting yelled at at conventions and things.

I don't think she was ever that popular while she was in the book, which is why Lee's successors killed her off almost immediately after he stepped down as writer/editor. But killing her turned her into a popular character with people who never cared about her until she died.

Yeah but Gwen wouldn't know that Peter knows, so it'd be like:

Honestly I don't even regard this as canon.

Remember the time Norman made Peter believe that he was a clone and Ben Reilly was the real Pete?
Remember the time Norman made Peter believe that his child wasn't actually stillborn, but Norman had stolen her as soon as she was born and had hidden her away somewhere?
Convincing him that his college girlfriend had his arch-enemy's babies is just another one of his fucked up mind tricks.

Pretty sure that's still canon.
>>
>>89095197
an even better ending to Superior Spider-Man is if Green Goblin just pulled a curtain to reveal Doc Ock locked in a cage, and he orchestrated the whole thing to make Pete think he died and had his body taken over by Otto.

That's not even the least of it since he also says he only set Clone Saga in motion because Parker "killed Harry".

Now it's "Parker made me have to fool everybody into thinking Harry had actually died, and so that's why I had to make him lose everything and kill his baby which he never conceived because they can't think about having babies if they're not married".

Yeah that's awful as well, though you can hand wave it as "he hates Spider-Man, he wants to kill him" and move on. All of that stuff with Peter leaving his responsibility to Reilly and keeping his identity because he had a family, however, makes no sense at all post-retcons.

The other hilarious part is all of Norm's pretend grief and cemetery visits.

I blame Emma Stone for this.

She's not even pretty.
>>
>>89096862
Is it Emma Stone's fault? Or is it whoever decided they should go with Gwen instead of MJ in the Amazing Spider-Man movies's fault?
>>
>>89096891
Emma Stone has a huge cult following of neckbeards; including Slott, Quesada, and most others at Marvel.
>>
>>89097039
Proof?
>>
>>89097039
But, again, she could have easily been cast as MJ had whoever decides what characters to use in movies decided to just start with MJ again instead of using Gwen. Look, I'm not saying she's not at least partially to blame, but she's not entirely to blame.
>>
yawn
>>
>>89097039
>>89097070
Also Tom Brevoort, the editor who devised the Brand New Day reboot, said a few times on social media that it was a mistake for the Garfield Spidey to kill Gwen off and that if they'd kept her alive, that version wouldn't have gotten canceled.
>>
>>89097144
Seconded. Slott's Spider-Man has become more and more boring each day. Gage is also dull.
>>
>>89095197
God, 90s Spider-Man was stupid.
>>
>>89097585
Thank god, 00s and 10s Spider-Man improved on it by giving him arm spikes, revealing his identity on live tv, having him make a deal with the devil to annul his marriage to save a woman who's been dying since 1965, had him killed and replaced by his first arch-nemesis, and saw him get turned into Iron Man.
>>
>>89091910
Being a clone doesn't make you any less of something, but it also doesn't make you Gwen Stacy exactly.

She died, you're someone who was born with her memories and body, but not exactly her. It might not be much of a difference but still.

Clones are people, but they can't exactly be the same as the one who died.

Ben Reilly and Peter Parker are the biggest examples of how the second the original and clone seperate and go their own path, they become different people. You are your experiences, you aren't something innate.
>>
>>89097649
Well, true. JMS's run had some good parts at least. But when you put it that way, it's really incredible that people still read Spider-Man.
>>
>>89097676
Also if you respect that original logic this can't be Ben Reilly. "The" Ben Reilly died 27 clones ago.
>>89097899
Yes, JMS' Spider-Man was wonderful

Well the Spectacular Annual said it was a woman who was deluded into thinking she was Gwen Stacey after the first Clone Saga ended and didn't she decide to die with Warren?
>>
>>89098472
The original Clone Gwen was killed shortly before Spider-Island IIRC. They had to pull a double whammy on the whole Dreamweaver business too.
>>
>>89098472
To be fair, that was back when the idea was that the Jackal wasn't making fully grown clones (because how could a college teacher manage that), but he was instead hypnotized into THINKING she was Gwen Stacy.
This and the Maximoff Twin's parentage is a big reason why the High Evolutionary should never be trusted, because everything he says is a bucket of lies.
>>
>>89098472
>Well the Spectacular Annual said it was a woman who was deluded into thinking she was Gwen Stacey after the first Clone Saga ended and didn't she decide to die with Warren?

It's from Spectacular Spider-Man Annual #8. I actually just reread this not long ago. Her name was Joyce Delaney. She got her pre-Gwen Clone memories back from the Young Gods (specifically Daydreamer).

She lived until Spider-Island: Deadly Foes #1, where she was offed by Jackal and another of his Gwen clones.
>>
>>89098551
Yeah, they retconned a retcon back to the original status quo. I laughed at that.
>>
>>89092311
No one actually cared about Gwen. They just liked the Archie comics drama she brought when MJ/Peter was an accepted thing. They did House of M purely to subvert Peter/MJ for some easy soap drama.

But since MJ has been effectively destroyed and removed as a character from the main Spidey-verse, there's really no point to it nor 616 Gwen anymore.
>>
>>89098580
I remember reading another anon's idea that the High Evolutionary is actually just a pathological liar. I think that's actually a pretty funny idea and would be totally cool if Marvel ran with it.

Hahaha you fucking delusional shitstack, RYV is terrible garbage not worthy of Spider-Man, exactly the same as Slott's shitty fanfiction
>>

That was one hatchetjob of a story, done by a hack who was getting his stories chewed up by quesada.

It's not canon. Just because the retcon isn't out yet doesn't make it canon

>Also if you respect that original logic this can't be Ben Reilly. "The" Ben Reilly died 27 clones ago.

The old process created new persons.

The new process that Miles Warren used on Ben Reilly's remains and the later improved a bit is something else. Something that draws on a "psychic" something to acquire the memories just before death.

Maybe the new process also draws the original soul back into the new body? Or maybe it only does it sometimes (when the person is dead and a soul to collect is available)?

>>89101908
Superior was an amusing idea and there were some damn good moments in there, but when your entire story hinges on every character being a drooling retard then you might have to rethink your approach to the whole thing.
>>
>>89101908
Superior's major problem is that it lasted too long, and I don't mean that in a negative sense. The longer that story lasted, the more unbelievable it became that nobody could tell something happened to Peter. Between the fact that he kept interacting with people who know him well, and the fact that he never even BOTHERED trying to get one of the myrid telepaths to figure out what happened, it's not uncommon for people's opinion on the series to soured because "Holy shit, how can NOBODY notice?!"

Say what you will about Hydra Cap (actually don't say anything, and save the shitposting for a different thread), but at least Steve isn't acting that different to people he doesn't intend to immediately kill.

Clones (or at least genetically modified duplicates with a bit of some other person's dna spliced in) canonically have souls. They seem to count as the demonic equivalent of spam,tofu, or imitation ??? meat to demons in limbo. (X-23)
Given enough time to develop they seem to eventually grow a proper one but I could be confuzzling this point with a similar Kon moment.

Its like, how the FUCK would she NOT know it wasn't Peter? She only dated him for years and lived with him for several years as well. She knew Peter inside and out.

And this schlub starts calling her "woman" and just acting like an obnoxious tool and she doesn't even bat an eye?

I'm not saying she would know it was Ock running the show, but she sure as shit should have known it was NOT Peter.

The whole story was just unforgivable.

I'll give him some leeway with that, his "new" cloning formula could probably cause this.

Slott hasn't discussed the matter of souls in this arc nor in Superior. That's mostly people's headcanon that caught on, to make sense of his statement that these are the real people resurrected.

>psychic imprint on a deceased person's body
If the psychic imprint equals the entirety of collective metaphysical elements that make up someone's identity (sans soul since, again, Slott hasn't touched the topic) then there's a blatant plot hole: when Ock is "resurrected"/cloned, the psychic imprint that awakes in his body is that of Peter Parker, explained by the fact it was his mind that died in Ock's body in ASM #700. By the former logic, this is the REAL Parker, which would make the Spider-Man running around... a mind clone? Or just what exactly?
>>
>>89104348
>to make sense of his statement that these are the real people resurrected.

No one is trying to make sense of it. Its a flat out lie. A clone is a clone.

Pretty much everyone called this shit before it was even officially announced.

I know. I did too. It's on the title.
But the anon I'm replying to suggested said headcanon. I don't think it's true. This is Ben Reilly XXVIII and Gwen IV (or V) as far as I'm concerned.
