Because, as it turns out, he didn't stab MJ at all. Though we're skipping quite a bit, the TL:DR is that Peter and MJ lead Rabin on a fateful chase where, just as it seems they've managed to escape, the villain appears and stabs MJ with his ritual dagger, seemingly killing her and completing his ritual.īut something is wrong - instead of attaining the power of the death god Wayep, Rabin is instead consumed by Wayep's power. And this is where things get grim for the young Ms. With the full-on death of their reality at stake if MJ is killed, Peter orders Kamala to protect her at all costs. The strange twist of MJ and Paul's adopted kids straight up disappearing is remarkably similar to the story of the Scarlet Witch, so drawing more attention to that by calling MJ a "Scarlet Woman" is especially odd. The Wanda comparisons don't stop there either, as the villain begins calling MJ the "Scarlet Woman" - a real world occult term meant to represent a woman who will bring about the end of the world. And just like in Wanda's case, MJ and Paul's adopted children disappear as soon as Rabin has no more use for them. Yes, that's almost exactly the same story as Wanda Maximoff's children, who were creations of the demon Mephisto used to manipulate her. The villain is still very much a threat, however, and he reveals that the two children MJ and Paul have been caring for are in fact simply magical conjurations meant to tie them to his ritual. He killed his father and stabs this version of Rabin (in Amazing Spider-Man #25).
It's revealed that Paul is actually the son of Rabin from the alternate universe. Here's where things get really weird - and we haven't even gotten close to the death of Kamala Khan yet. But thanks to the difference in the passage of time between the two worlds, Peter shows up too late and MJ and Paul have fallen in love.ĪSM #26 brings the story up to the present day where Rabin, the villain who initially trapped MJ and Paul in the alt-reality, makes it back to the core Marvel Universe, planning to kill MJ to complete a ritual meant to give him godlike power. To save them, Peter stole equipment from the Avengers and Fantastic Four, working with Norman Osborn to build the machine he needed to enter this alt-reality. As previously established, MJ and Paul fell in love while they were trapped in an alternate reality where time moves differently, spending four years on the run while raising two children they found orphaned in the wasteland, though only a little while passed in the core reality.
