Since Spider Man revealed his identity, will it remain that way or will they find a way to change it?

Answer 1

They can always change it back. Some time ago, the X Men were exposed to the public, and they compelled a villainess they defeated (Selene...? I don't remember for sure, now) to cast a spell that would erase everybody's knowledge of their identities.

Similarly, in the Superman novel Miracle Monday, after Superman's identity is exposed on national TV, he defeats the demon CW Saturn and makes him erase that memory from everybody.

So there is precedent. They could also just ignore it, like the story that revealed that Barry (Flash) Allen did not get his powers as a result of the lightning-and-chemicals accident, but from some genie called Mopee. That was written by someone over at DC years ago, and when the management heard about it, they had a fit and decided to 'make it didn't happen'.

After the abysmal Civil War, I figured that Marvel painted themselves into a corner and would not be able to come up with a reasonable story to fix it all, so they would either stop publishing those titles with that story line and publish only the more popular zombie titles, or start over and ignore the previous continuity, similar to what they have done with Spider Man Loves Mary Jane (totally ignoring his first love, Gwen Stacy, making it seem that MJ was the one he really loved all along.)

Answer 2

Several things suggest that it will not remain;

1. Professor X has gained his powers back, and has already contemplated in how he could affect things from Civil War.

2. More importantly, during Civil War, the Watcher was discussing with Doctor Strange and made mention of the fact that Strange 'Could change this if he wanted to'.

3. With 'Secret Invasion' coming, I foresee the use of the Skrull invasion as being the mcguffin they use to restore status quo somehow.

However, I doubt they'll keep Spiderman's identity public.

It was a publicity stunt to raise comic sales, nothing more.

Answer 3

Marvel has always been bolder than DC. When they "killed" Superman, his "resurrection" was already written and drawn, this just one example of their commitment to the status quo. I think Marvel will continue its current storyline, or they will find themselves insulting and losing several readers. If they found a believable way to change what has happened I could understand, but if everybody simply forgets, well, I will be done with several Marvel titles.

Answer 4

Well Marvel, the creators of Spiderman, could simply go for the cliche Superhero stories and make the heroes pass the powers down to their children and generations to come. They usually pass it down through genes blah blah blah. The usual gibberish. This happens in Superman as well.

Answer 5

Well you must be reading the civil war comics huh? well I think that yes everyone will know about his identitiy, or the gov. will erase everyones mind in order to cover up the whole shebang. ( meaning the war between heroes)

Answer 6

all depends on him
