Some Marvel stories are well known by casual readers and longtime fans alike, but Marvel is looking to change the foundations of those stories, including one that features your favorite wall-crawler Spider-Man.
The Spider-Man story in question is Spider-Man No More, a classic story that kicked off in Amazing Spider-Man #50 (Volume 1) in 1967. The story features a frustrated Peter Parker, who feels bogged down by all the responsibility that being Spider-Man brings and not getting any of the kudos for it, what with J. Jonah Jameson's constant campaign against him. That frustration leads to Peter quitting his role as Spider-Man, throwing his costume into a garbage can.
Peter eventually comes back around, but a new teaser from Marvel suggests you don't really know the reason why he came back aground. The teaser reads "Who Brought The Amazing Spider-Man Back After Spider-Man No More! Marvel History Is Destroyed March 2019".
In the original story, nothing can get Parker to put the suit back on, not even the rising crime rate, but he eventually runs upon someone in need of help, and he cannot turn away. He saves the night watchman, only to realize he reminds him of Uncle Ben, and that brings with it the original with great power comes great responsibility mantra that made him become SSpider-Man in the first place. He realizes he has to put on the suit once again, but this tease indicates maybe there's more to the story.
Was the person he saved put there on purpose? Was someone watching Parker? Is there something else at play here? Lots of questions that we want answers to, but we'll have to wait until March to find out.

It's not every day that the Marvel Universe is destroyed, but that's exactly what the comic book publisher is promising. And it all begins by revealing the truth behind one of Marvel's oldest superhero origin stories... starring the Fantastic Four.
Marvel has released what appears to be the tease for their next major event, and it's more cryptic - and more spectacular - than usual. With a tagline promising that the Marvel Universe and its established history are about to be utterly destroyed, the return of Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch and The Thing is going to take a heavier cost than fans expected.
The teaser has been officially released by Marvel with the phrase "The Marvel Universe is Destroyed!" As hyperbolic a sentiment as that may be (common for the comics industry's never-ending parade of cataclysms), a single teaser image accompanies the message, taking the claim even further. Not to mention suggesting which Marvel superheroes may be at the center of the Marvel Universe's destruction. The added promise (warning?) that the arrival of this cryptic event will "destroy Marvel history" only heightens the stakes, so thankfully, the teaser image also seems to reveal the main mystery that sets it all in motion: "Who Really Gave The Fantastic Four Their Powers?"
That's a question that even casual Marvel fans are likely to know, due as much to its adaptation to the Fantastic Four movie as its sheer simplicity. A team of astronauts head into space, are struck by "cosmic rays," and are given superhuman abilities as a result. But like so many other simple superhero origin stories, it appears Marvel has cooked up a new explanation - one that, once revealed, will apparently begin to bring down all of the Marvel Comics Universe and its decades-long history.
It's more than a little ironic to see Marvel teasing Reed Richards, Sue Storm, and their teammates as the possible cause of the Marvel Universe, since it was only recently revealed that the Fantastic Four were rebuilding the Multiverse, and not simply "missing" as the heroes assumed. But at the same time, Marvel beginning to drop hints of a coming, Fantastic Four-focused calamity - likely to arrive in Summer 2019 - would make some sense. After all, Reed Richards finally explained that he and his wife left their former world behind because the Marvel Universe had become such a mess, with one disaster and global conflict after another. So if the comic publisher is looking to rewrite, reduce, or restrict their roadmap going forward, it would make sense to see Mister Fantastic and friends involved.

Hasn't Marvel already spent the past several years destroying their universe and their history, along with their characters? I guess they finally just made the story official.
