    Peter Parker Secret Identity "choice"

    I'm convinced that Peter Parker was originally not one of the characters chosen to be in the line-up. With the Shazam head and Billy Batson clothes, it just seems like it was Captain Marvel's secret identity they were making. But somebody must have realized that Marvel and Batson don't look the same. So they changed it to be Peter instead. That's my theory!

    I think they just employing the trademark Mego cheapness. I don't see them not wanting to include PP as Spidey was one of their best sellers. Just my opinion.

      I think the idea of Parker came first, and the specific figure second. The Wards ad showed a figure in an AJ outfit:

        I remember all those issues of Spiderman when Peter Parker would put on his commando gear and go all Navy Seal on criminals....Well...no, actually I don't.

              ^ I think his mask since Bruce is holding his cowl and Clark his hat.

                Nah. That's for when he finally got fed up J. Jonah Jameson calling Spidey a "menace" all the time.

                  That's what it looks like to me too, his mask.
