Soooo....who is the TRUE love of Peter Parker's life? Gwen or MJ? I've always thought MJ because she is who I most remember from the comics...but now I'm wondering if she was just the "rebound" gal for ol' Petey.

Since Peter just chose Aunt May over MJ, I guess that's the true love of his life.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie Banks -

We'll never know about Gwen...she died before their love could mature, she was his FIRST love, but his TRUE love?
I would have to say MJ...they've been through so much more together, including marriage. Their love had more time to grow than he and Gwen.Last edited by Megospidey; Feb 7, '08, 4:59 PM.Comment

Mary Jane IS far to high Maintenance for Peter, let alone anyone. Everything I had ever read or watched about the character, she is always like "WAHHHH, WAHHHH, WAHHH , poor me me me" . Just look at her comment in Toyrooms pic . When Peter gets past her "looks" , & realizes just how self centered she is , as well as a serious control freak, & I think he dreams about the One that gotta way,.. in Gwen Stacey.... The Original Knight ..., Often Imitated, However Never Duplicated. The 1st Knight in Customs.

I think it was established pretty firmly by Stan that Gwen was HIS girl. MJ was indeed the rebound, and the comics dealt with this in the 70s, it's why they didn't stay together. They were kind of shoehorned into marriage in the 80s, but I thought it worked pretty well.
But barring out of character writing and continuity retcons, Peter would have married Gwen had she lived. I have no doubt about that.

You never get over your first love. At least that's what I've been told...(I married my first love)
I've always thought that it was supposed to be Peter and Gwen. Gwen was more Betty/Mary Ann and Mary Jane was more Veronica/Ginger. Maybe that was why Gwen's death was so haunting and painful. Peter got over Liz Allen and Betty Brant. Somewhere or Somehow he had to knwo that neither one of those was going to work. But Gwen could have been the one. I would think that was why she died. A married Peter Parker/Spider-Man isn't as colorful or interesting. Kinda like Elongated Man - hey, what's he saying - is he crazy?!
