What Is Ultimate Spider-Man's Past With Gwen Stacy? (Spoilers)

Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checchetto’s Ultimate Spider-Man isa story about a married-with-kids Peter Parker who chooses to get a spider bite

Recently, Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checchetto's Ultimate Spider-Man, a story about a married-with-kids middle-aged Peter Parker who chooses to get a spider bite and become Spider-Man, has been teasing the appearance of Gwen Stacy. In the original Spider-Man continuity, Gwen Stacy was Peter Parker's first longtime girlfriend, and she died at the hands of Norman Osborn, the Green Goblin. Peter would later go on to date – and then marry – Mary Jane Watson. In the original Ultimate Spider-Man story, she stayed a school friend of Peter Parker, while Parker was dating Mary Jane, and only got involved with Peter much later in the story, after Mary Jane had broken up with him. But in the new 2023 Ultimate Spider-Man, Peter married Mary Jane and had kids – and his relationship with Gwen Stacy is unclear. Until Ultimate Spider-Man #4 comes along. Marvel previously released some teaser images for the comic in question.

Stating "In this exciting new universe, Gwen never met a tragic fate. Instead, she married Harry Osborn and now co-runs Oscorp Industries. Learn more about this ambitious power couple when the Parkers and Osborns go on a double date! Amidst cocktails, small talk is quickly dispersed as this fearless foursome discuss exposing the dark corruption that shaped their world. Little do they all know that the two men at the table have already taken matters into their own hands by suiting up as the vigilantes Spider-Man and Green Goblin!"

Well, because this is Bleeding Cool, we can put a few words in their mouths from the actual Ultimate Spider-Man #4, out this coming Wednesday from Marvel Comics.

And there is also the suggestion that maybe, just maybe, Gwen Stacy and Peter Parker have indeed had a past…

As for where that money might go?

Sorry, sorry, I forgot, we need the words.,..
