This should be no problem for the Avengers unless they are idiots

I have a story, from a colleague who was working in the Marvel Bullpen during that time. THIS IS RUMOUR.
According to the story, the Clone Saga was all dreamed up via a consultation between Marvel........and Todd McFarlane.
Apparently all the Image guys were invited back inside by Marvel to "consult" periodically ( Before Heroes Reborn), and were seen by staff numerous times.
Todd suggested the Clone Saga idea, ....and Marvel bit.
And the speculation about the story was that it was two-fold: That it was the stupidest idea Todd could come up with, AND that it was DELIBERATELY INTENDED to SABOTAGE Spider-man ( at that time) so that Todd's Spawn title would beat Spidey in sales. Which it did, apparently.
And Marvel bit.
Again, this is RUMOUR, but I think if you look at how Marvel was doing at the time, the fallout of the story and the reactions to it, it does seem to fit that scenario. But you all decide...I think it makes for a funny anecdoteNope, the clone saga was the brain child of Terry Kavanagh, which then got out of hand thanks to marketing and executive meddling. The origins of the Clone Saga have been well documented and none of them ever mention McFarlane. People seem to forget that while conversational, the Clone Saga was a financial hit for Marvel, that's why it kept going.
Still I think we are going to be going off topic, lets keep the clone saga stuff for when marvel ruin Ben again with Chasm and focus on this lackluster idea of making Peter a Goblin again!

Ugh... Have comic writers really gotten to the point that they can't come up with something completely fresh that isn't already based on existing concepts/characters? I understand that Marvel has been around for like 80 years, but is there really nothing new that they can do with Spider-Man that isn't a rehash of old ideas, or in this case, an amalgamation of characters? It seems like they have hit a creative wall recently and they haven't been able to get Spider-Man to successfully climb over it...
Spider-man has been creatively dead since the Clone Saga in the 90's

Oh...that's just monstrous. It reminds me of an 80's MotU or TMNT figure, and not in a good way.
It was the 90's

What? You mean Wells didn't come up with an original new idea and just took a bunch of recycled ideas and mashed them together. Preposterous!
I know. Still I'm expecting a Spider Goblin Marvel legends next year.

Personally the whole 85 years anniversary line smells like a bad gimmick just to probably up the price on these, by making it some pointless anniversary, Hopefully I'm wrong. I haven't heard Marvel themselves planning anything special.

That had to be on purpose. Why bring it into the studio in the first place?
Definitely on purpose. Maybe that's what the rock is from.

I didn't think it would be. They only had the first 2 waves planned in advance and that was only while they were waiting for the reactions to the show.
Yeah I wasn't expecting it either. A lot of people online, especially Twitter were given the success of the toys and the show.

Well Dan confirmed it will not be X-Men 97 wave 3

The way I read the tweet was that we might see some MCU reveals, due to the way it was phrased. It's not a complete denial. Still I will be happy with more comic reveals.

maybe they should have tried for Tom Selleck instead
and didn't he lose the mustache when transforming into Red Hulk?
Yeah Ross lost the moustache when he becomes the Rulk

If it's addressed then I'd have to guess it's a big deal.
More of a joke to be honest. Sam apparently mentions he's not used to Ross's new look. Ross replies that he had to lose the moustache or lose the election.

I kinda want an animated series one just for Nostalgia. I don't really want one of his robe looks, since it would be make for a weak action figure

Why is there no mustache?? Bummer
According to people who have seen the footage that's actually addressed in the movie

Still not keen on this reactionary run. Marvel just love to keep mutantkind down.

What's the point of having a EU Hasbro Pulse if they don't put the same stuff as the other Pulse sites.

We all agree that no Mandarin in the Iron Man retro line was a huge misstep by Hasbro. So here's the question if the Mandarin was to get a Marvel Legends figure, what costume just he be wearing?

Everyone is asking for Stegron. If I have to pick an obscure villain, it would be Gibbon.
Or Grizzly, since they have the ursa Major body

Interesting. They could do a Spidey BAF wave with Stegron as the BAF. But if they go out of the box and pick a character not strictly associated with Avengers/X-Men/Spider-Man, I'd like to see the Griffin (the mutated version from the 90s Namor series). Now that they've got proper wings courtesy of the Angel, they could really do it up right, if they work it. Or, save Griffin for a Sub-Mariner wave....
Given it's their anniversary I hoping for either F.A.C.A.D.E or Spidercide as the BAF
