So in Reign 3, we learn that Mary Jane was killed from exposure to Spider-man's radioactive sperm. Which is absolutely ridiculous. I mean, this is comic books. People don't die from exposure to radioactive sperm in comic books.

They get super powers!
 

stats count
Mary Jane's new power set would actually be pretty impressive:

- The ability to burrow into things that are spherical and much larger than her… like the Earth!

- Amazing swimming powers.

- A great sense of direction.

- The ability to survive days without food. (Handy talent for a model!)

- The ability to go unseen. It might take *weeks* before anyone knows she did something.

- Angsty "Oh no, I'm mutating!" storylines, in which she grows an extremely long tail.

- A theme song! (Well, she's married, so I figure she can share Peter's theme song. Sharing is what marriage is *about*, right?)

 
Sperm-woman, Sperm-woman,
Does what spermatozoa can.
Catches thieves by surprise;
She'll get right in their eyes.
Look Out!
Here comes the Sperm-woman.

Can she swim fast?
Oh, friend of mine,
She's got a radioactive behind.
Can she burrow underground?
Anywhere that's big and round.
Hey, there-
There goes the Sperm-woman.

In the chill of night
At the scene of a crime
Like a streak of white
She comes just in time.

Sperm-woman, Sperm-woman,
Friendly neighborhood Sperm-woman
Wealth and fame
She's ignored
Action is her reward.

To her, life is a great big bang up
Whenever there's a wang up
You'll find the Sperm-woman.


 
I'll leave the BIG question - "But what will she wear?!" - in more capable hands than mine. She's a model, after all, and I'm lucky if I can get my socks to match.

Though her symbol, I'm sure, will be a thing of *beauty*.

Peter got bitten by a radioactive spider, Mary Jane got bitten by a radioactive sperm. I'm just following through the logic!

RADIOACTIVE SPERM

I feel this bears repeating.

Thank you for exposing me to this beautiful story-line.

From: [identity profile] odditycollector.livejournal.com


Not Marvel? I can honestly say I hadn't spent much time thinking about the comic book properties of radioactive sperm before they brought it up...

From: [identity profile] willnobilis.livejournal.com


I knew you were cool.

I had no idea you were wonderful, intelligent, amazing and witty.

You deserve another ♥. Maybe even three.

♥ ♥ ♥

From: [identity profile] odditycollector.livejournal.com


AWWWW! Thank you so very much.

(Though I must admit, I was baited. Marvel *actually published* the story of the spectacular spider-sperm! What could possibly fit the moment better than a drinking song? Goes well with the drinking required to make it all make sense!)

From: [identity profile] willnobilis.livejournal.com

Ah yes.. .Marvel is (are?) masters of baiting. *zing!*


You are very, very welcomed.

And yes, one does need to be drinking for it to make sense. Alcohol, preferrably. As opposed to water or something.

From: [identity profile] odditycollector.livejournal.com


I promise only to use my powers for evi... Actually, yes, I mean evil.

It's a great shower song. :D

From: [identity profile] willnobilis.livejournal.com


Wow, that was a pun of my calibur. Please, treat yourself to dinner or something.

From: [identity profile] odditycollector.livejournal.com


To paraphrase [livejournal.com profile] brown_betty, it's amazing how dirty everything suddenly becomes once you PORNIFY IT with RADIOACTIVE SPERM!

RADIOACTIVE SPERM!

Throw in Barry White music and you got yourself a party there.

*hearts you*

you've obviously been partaking of the crackiest sort of crack - do it again! by which I mean, this is brilliant!!!

From: [identity profile] odditycollector.livejournal.com


There is no crack like mainstream comic book crack! It's so wacky and senseless!

*weeps at the senselessness of it all*

I assume, to prevent a massive wave of miraculous, man-less conceptions, she'll skip spandex and either wear: rubber, latex, or sheepskin. And I imagine her suit will have some kind of built in ribbing, you know, for her pleasure protection.

From: [identity profile] odditycollector.livejournal.com


But she's a model! This is Marvel's chance to stick her in a tube top and skirt, fashion be damned! (And after all, meeting random kids she didn't know she had == storytelling GOLD!)

Maybe the skirt will have a sort of ribbed effect, though. :D

Well... I hate to admit it, but I had something very like this idea (okay, it was THIS idea but with no spider-powers) for a DC couple. But because I don't write fanfiction the Internet was spared.

From: [identity profile] odditycollector.livejournal.com


Spared until NOW, anyway. (I'd apologize, but it'd be a lie.)

Which DC couple, just out of curiosity? DC does have a couple radioactive people running around...

From: [identity profile] morchades.livejournal.com


Actually, not a radioactive guy, but the Shade's powers are weird and unpredictable. I thought Hope O'Dare would be fun with mild shadow powers. :)

From: [identity profile] odditycollector.livejournal.com


Heh. Yeah, I can just see Hope--

Oh. Great. Now you have me thinking about the Shade's, erm, bodily fluids. And whether he has them, as such, or if the shadow... AAAHHH!

*folds arms and sulks*

From: [identity profile] morchades.livejournal.com


Hey, I'm not alone. :)

(I'm not a regular fanfiction reader but if you do end up writing it, link it to me, please! I'll find time.)

From: [identity profile] odditycollector.livejournal.com


Hee. The most frightening thing about that particular scene is that I can think of about 5 people off hand who would *totally encourage* it to be written. Sarcastic comments about squid and all-- OH MY GOD I JUST GOT TENTICLE PORN IN.

How did that happen? *buries face in hands*

From: [identity profile] dryponder.livejournal.com


did you just issue a superhero costuming challenge? *gears turning*

man i just don't even know what to say about the state of mainstream comics. i may have to close down my 'all-positive' mainstream comics blog. there's hardly anything left to talk about.

From: [identity profile] odditycollector.livejournal.com


I... I guess I did. I am suddenly worried at what those gears are turning towards. *ponders*

*attempts to peek inside your brain with one of those doctor lights*

And I like comics, really. By which I mean I like superheroes a whole lot, and I've seen really neat things done with the medium, and where I hang out in the fandom is full of cool people.

Unfortunately, I've lost a lot of my unqualified glee for the printed issues themselves. Most of the comics I look forward to now are not by DC (or Marvel, though I've never been much for Marvel) or at least are not Superhero books. Which is no good, because while I might really enjoy the stories, I am a *Superhero fan*, if you get me. It's not the same thing.

From: [identity profile] caia-comica.livejournal.com


*laughs* As per usual, you make everything better.

By which I mean, of course, MORE INSANE.

From: [identity profile] odditycollector.livejournal.com


I LIVE TO SERVE!

(... my unfiltered impulses, mostly, but you know you love me anyway!)

Re: Oh dear


Thanks! But you'll never convince me anything can ever beat the original! (Marvel, you so wacky.)

Catches thieves by surprise;

XDDDD

You win XD

From: [identity profile] odditycollector.livejournal.com


I was originally trying to rework it to "She'll get right in your face." You know, in a superheroic, aggressive fashion!

But the person I was bouncing the theme song off of threated to refuse to talk to me anymore, so I settled for the genius you see before you. Above you. Something. :D

From: [identity profile] ide-cyan.livejournal.com


Hee. Best fix-it ever!

And wouldn't she also turn into a lesbian?

From: [identity profile] odditycollector.livejournal.com


Nah... I don't the sperm *themselves* have any particular preference.

OTOH, if she did have a lesbian affair, the results might be, erm, complicated. (Does whatever sperm can in*deed*.)

Wow.
Brings the phrase doing a spiderman (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=spider+man) full circle.

Reminds me of the Larry Niven short story "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex." (http://www.larryniven.org/stories/Man_of_Steel_Woman_of_Kleenex.shtml)

Awesomest superhero idea thie year. Possibly decade.

...though I'd imagine her symbol would look a bit like the SOS Brigade logo in black and white...
