Spider-Man Family v2 8
Spider-Man Family v2 8
June, 2008
Appearances:
Spider-Man(Peter Parker), Iron Man(Tony Stark), Jim Rhodes(War Machine), Arsenal Robots
Synopsis:
Pg1-pg22
Two step brothers hack the internet to find cool games and unwittingly activate Howard Stark’s Arsenal Robot. Meanwhile, Tony chats with Jim Rhodes while he builds a new suit of armor.(basically Hulkbuster armor… you know, really big armor) Elsewhere, Peter parker leads a class at Empire State University when Arsenal attacks. He changes into Spider-Man and fights the robot. Tony hears about it and changes into Iron Man, and goes to help Spider-Man out. An army of Arsenal Robots arrive so Iron Man changes into his new armor and together they defeat the robots. Iron Man & Spider-Man track the signal back to the step brothers and give them a stern talking to.
References:
Iron Man is wearing his modular armor here, placing this sometime between Iron Man 290 & 318.
Peter is at Empire State University.
Iron Man says that he has dealt with an earlier version of Arsenal once before, placing this after Iron Man 114 & Avengers Annual 9, and before Avengers: the Crossing. The Arsenal Robot did appear in Hulk 282, and even though Iron Man was present, the Hulk dealt with the robot that time.
Spider-Man Family v2 8/2
Appearances:
Spider-Man(Peter Parker), Iceman(Bobby Drake), Thing(Ben Grimm), Gwen Stacey, Bobby’s date
Synopsis:
Pg1-pg10
Pete tries to make reservations at a new restaurant in town, but there’s only one table left and it’s first come first serve. He runs into Bobby Drake on the street, who also wants to go to the new restaurant; the race is on! Booby ices up and grabs his date while Spider-Man tries to swing across town, but Bobby ices his hands. Pete catches the train to pick up Gwen, and the two pairs arrive at the same time to discover they’ve been beaten by the Thing.

It’s Gwen’s birthday.
Dialogue and a footnote tells us it’s been like… FOREVER since Marvel Team-Up #4.(volume 1, the issue with Morbius and the X-Men)

Re: Spider-Man Family v2 8
I just read this and I'm not sure it can be canon, as I think Peter and Bobby shouldn't know each other's secret identities at this point.Col_Fury wrote:Spider-Man Family v2 8/2

Re: Spider-Man Family v2 8
That secret identity thing is definitely a problem.
If the story in SMF2 8/2 is canonical, I wonder if the "forever"-since-M/TU 4 statement could be facetious. This story occurs on Gwen's birthday. Gwen celebrated a birthday in ASM 87, which takes place in late October of Year 5. According to the Marvel Indexes, M/TU 4 occurs during the October of the next year (Year 6). Also according to the Indexes, ASM 141-142 take place during October of the year after that (Year 7). ASM 141-142 postdate Gwen's death in ASM 122. So from a calendar perspective, SM2 8/2 would need to take place shortly after M/TU 4 during that same month.
If that identity issue can be resolved and "forever" can be reinterpreted, I'd place Spidey here between ASM 107 and M/TU 5, Gwen here during the gap in ASM 107, Iceman here between M/TU 4 and A 111-FB, and Thing here between H2 153 and M/TU 6. I don't believe such a placement is a problem in the chronology of Peter and Gwen's roller-coaster relationship.

Sure, it could be.Paul Bourcier wrote:If the story in SMF2 8/2 is canonical, I wonder if the "forever"-since-M/TU 4 statement could be facetious.
Pete did know Bobby's ID, it's Bobby knowing Pete's that's tricky.
Peter didn't interact with the X-Men in M/TU 4, only Spider-Man did. However, the entire time the X-Men are in their street clothes screaming their regular names at each other.(Professor X scanned Spider-Man's mind in M/TU 4, so it would be safe to say HE knows that Pete is Spider-Man. I don't know how likely it is that he shared that information with the rest of the X-Men, though) Later in PPTSS 17 & 18, Peter still knows that Bobby is Iceman, backed up by a footnote referring to M/TU 4, but for some reason Warren doesn't remember that Spider-Man knows who all the X-Men are. Later still in ASM 282 there's no mention that Spider-Man knows X-Factor's IDs, but he does recognize that they're all former X-Men. In both PPTSSM 18 & ASM 282, Spider-Man & Iceman end up chatting by themselves, away from everyone else. This would only suggest that Spider-Man feels more comfortable around Iceman compared to everyone else, but I don't think it necessarily lends itself to Bobby knowing who Pete is.
In SMF2 8/2, we have a story with Bobby and Pete chatting about an adventure Iceman and Spider-Man had. Is there an issue later where it's shown Iceman discovering Spider-Man's identity? Meaning, is there an issue that prevents Bobby from knowing who Peter is here, before Gwen dies, because he discovers it later? Or are we assuming Iceman didn't know, because there has been no evidence until now that he did?
I was going to toss in something about them being Amazing Friends, but I was too lazy to come up with something clever.

Re: Spider-Man Family v2 8
Actually, now you mention it, didn't Spider-Man Family: Amazing Friends (the first of the SMF one-shots, before they started numbering them) have Bobby not knowing Pete's ID in the lead (set in the early 90s) story?Col_Fury wrote:I was going to toss in something about them being Amazing Friends, but I was too lazy to come up with something clever.

Re: Spider-Man Family v2 8
The issue opens with Spider-Man and Iceman catching up; Iceman's moved back to Westchester and Spider-Man got married. They don't call each other by their real names, but they're out in public every time we see them together. I don't see anything that says outright they don't know each other's IDs.

Re: Spider-Man Family v2 8
Hah -- in the time it took me to read this thread, go get the issue and check it out, Col_Fury beat me to the answer. Bah!
I guess all I can add is that "Amazing Friends" was the *second* Spider-Man Family one-shot, not the first.
-Jeph!

Re: Spider-Man Family v2 8
Well, since I've got you both rushing to your comics , here's the complete list AFAICS of issues which are in both Spidey & Iceman's listings without a qualification (page ranges, etc) to make it obvious they don't meet on-panel. Some are obvious cameos (e.g., A 3, COC 1, ORDER 5) or have been covered in this thread, and they won't necessarily meet on-panel in all of them, but I've not cut any for completeness:
I can check some of these for myself to see if they make this story untenable or not, but not for a couple of daysA 3

Re: Spider-Man Family v2 8
Well, there is ASM 92 where they teamed up but they didn't reveal their secret identities to each other there. All I can think of is if Parker had been taking pictures of Spider-Man in action with Iceman and Bobby read the Bugle article, it's possible he could put 1+1 together and connect Parker the photographer with Spider-Man that way.Col_Fury wrote:Sure, it could be.Paul Bourcier wrote:If the story in SMF2 8/2 is canonical, I wonder if the "forever"-since-M/TU 4 statement could be facetious.

Speaking of ASM 92... Bobby is shown dating a dark haired young woman in that issue. What does the date look like in this issue?

Re: Spider-Man Family v2 8
some of their appearances:
A 3 - no interaction
ASM@ 1 - no interaction
UTSM 21 - first meeting? clearly don't know each other
UTSM '97 - no interaction
FF 36 - no interaction
FF@ 3 - no interaction
M/H&L '96 - no interaction
UX 27 - Only refer to each other by hero names, though they are in public. To support metaldragon's theory, though, Iceman specifically wonders why Spidey was taking pictures of some hoods he'd captured.
ST 156 - no interaction
UX 35 - Fairly private setting, only call each other by hero names. Iceman clearly doesn't know Spidey well or trust him.
A 60 - I can't check
SUB-M 14 - no interaction
ASM 92 - In public. Only refer to each other by hero names. Iceman doesn't recognize Gwen, or that she has any relation to Spider-Man. They don't really know each other well.
M/TU 4 - Only call each other by hero names. Professor X scans Spidey's mind and presumably learns his identity. It's possible that Xavier shared the identity, and it's also possible that Spidey was unmasked while sick. Both somewhat unlikely in my opinion.
