Spider-Man: American Son

  Who do you think that it is? I say Flash Thompson because he was a soldier, and he recently was severely injured in Iraq. American Son's costume kinda reminds me of the exo-skeleton that Cap wore when the Super-Soldier serum was breaking down in his blood. Look:

What say you? Maybe Osborne offers him a deal and he becomes the "dark" counter-part to Captain America. By "dark" I mean that Flash believes that Osborne is the authority to be obeyed, and that he represents America by becoming the hero that Captain America cannot be (due to his opposition to Osborne).

What say ye?

You're right U.S.,

  He lost his legs. I think that makes him more of a candidate. He gets his mobility back, and he gets to continue serving his country. What better person to set at odds with Peter Parker, than his childhood enemy turned friend? Who better to set at odds with Spider-Man than his biggest fanboy? Not to mention the tension that this could cause with Captain America. This will be great!!

I hate how they made Flash lose his legs, I thought they said that everything that happened in the Spidey stories really happened except the Parker & MJ stuff... Then why change up Flash's story in that time.

Hello VenomZeus,

  How are you?

  It's not a new series, just a story arc in ASM.

  I'm smelling what you're cooking. I hated One More Day too, but I think that the ASM wrinig has gotten better since. I even find myself chuckling at Spidey's jokes a lot. I think maybe the fact that Flash never discovered Peter's secret identity while they both worked at Midtown High had a lot to do with his re-joining the Army and fighting in Iraq. Remember, Spidey's identity is unknown by everyone, even the Fantastic Four (until last month). I guess it's like real life...every small change could lead to a bigger change, like a domino effect. I don't think that Pete thought about this, and I think that we're really about to start seeing the consequences of his decisions.

  Nobody's excited about the American Son arc, huh?

"Psychos do not explode when sunlight hits them...I don't give a fu-- how crazy they are."

  I just read ASM #595, and I'm getting the distinct feeling that Harry Osborne is about to become a super-hero. I think that he'll be American Son!!

  I didn't see that coming! ASM is getting GOOD (and it's funny too!).
