I don't understand why editorial even suggested that terrible compromise. I mean how about... they're not his kids but he thinks they could be? On account of how couples have sex sometimes?

No, it was consensual. Peter is realizing this happened and freaking out in the narration.

There's so much lightweight bullet-proof poo poo in the Marvel Universe that you have to really suspend your disbelief about it or else everyone not constantly wearing bulletproof costumes seems like a loving idiot.

I dunno, if you're in a position to actually express your opinions on the big two without suffering any repercussions, you should definitely take it, even if you're kind of a jerk. It sure beats all this "if I say anything bad about Jeph Loeb/Greg Land/Whoever I'll never work again" wishy-washy diplomatic poo poo we usually get in interviews.

I'm trying to catch up on some Marvel comics, are the .NOW issue still side issues that share the same number as the real thing, or does it work differently than it used to? I'm a little confused.

I personally think it's really weird to lump Watchmen and Spawn in the same age of comics just because they're both "Dark". I never really bought the idea that making mature superhero comics somehow opened a pandora's box that had Identity Crisis and Bloodshot in it. I think the Image guys, the speculator market, and a lot of other cultural factors forged the Xtreme 90s all on their own. Obviously it's all links in the same big, complicated chain, but I just don't buy that you can point to Alan Moore's work or Kraven's Last Hunt and say that's why DC has Joker rip his face off today or whatever.

There's mostly joke Captain America analogue that had some good inspirational moments with Guy Gardner, I believe. Most of the Marvel homages I can think of were from the JLU cartoon, which was really blatant about it.

It's not impossible that that was one of the secret extra conditions MJ whispered to Mephisto. Anyway, it's obvious Marvel brass realized how stupid an exit a deal with the devil was and isn't eager to revisit it.

It would have been so much better if it was a accident that Stark and co were responsible for instead of the stupid cop-out easy resolution we got. Why would having a good guy be accidentally responsible for something horrifying like that be better? Did you learn nothing from Civil War?

To be honest I think the most dated super-origin of all is the X-men. They used to be "children of the atom", but even after they introduced the "x-gene", the idea of a single gene that has no real reason for appearing giving people so many ridiculous powers is pushing suspension of disbelief way further than is advisable. "Hey guys, I have a gene in me and now I can control gravity." I wonder if that's part of why the Inhuman thing happened.

I kinda assumed she stepped out of a tube full grown. Still, if she's 23 now, I don't know what people are complaining about. It's not a Layla Miller situation where she went from 10 to 25 in a week from her lover's point of view, and I seem to be one of the few people who was even creeped out by that.
