Peter deserves to have his perfect life from House of M in an alternate universe like how Ultimate is Comics

I believe it would be an amazing run if he actually had his House Of M life played out in a positive way with Gwen like how Ultimate is giving us his perfect life with Mj. I like the concept of House of M but the randomly timed events within it like Bald Peter or whatnot were just poorly executed.

By the looks of it, the others were worse off in House of M or indifferent because they didn't see anything spectacular.

Poor Spidey was the only one who was a million times better off than his actual life. All his failures were wiped out. Uncle Ben was alive. Gwen Stacy was alive. He had the life he dreamed of.

Exactly bro but the guilt comes on him after he realizes that his ideal life was not with his current wife but with the love of his life that died back when he was still in university like that’s so sad for Mj but also the fact that he loses his child Richie who never existed in his own reality so he can’t even mourn him properly

It's also a very subtle way for Marvel to take away from MJ that childhood label of "one true love beyond the stars." They have never wanted to make MJ "one and true"

People, if they pay attention, will see that OMD was just the final step of an editorial plan that was already in the works a few years earlier.

Spiderman Blue(2002-2003)Sin Past(2004)Spiderman:House of M(2005)...CivilWar and BackinBlack were only part of the "plan" in the years prior to OMD.
