Here's Oracular Wisdom a-plenty. Note the increasing politeness of
supplicants. While we do include as many Oracle responses as possible, it
has become clear that the Mighty One showers his Sapient Favours more freely
on those whose missives contain due deference to his Superior Status.
If you wish to see your response printed, or wish the Oracle to answer more
difficult questions in great detail, you would be well advised to begin your
request with a sufficiently submissive introduction. "O Mighty Oracle" is a
good starting point, but don't feel limited in your entreatments.

It was my understanding that Miles Warren learned of Spider-Man's identity when
he actually cloned him and saw the face of the clone... ? Unfortunately, I do
not have any reference as proof, just my memory... Could it have been explained
in The Jackal Files maybe?
Nope, garrettx, Miles wouldn't have had any reason to clone Peter if he hadn't
already known he was Spidey. You may be remembering an episode from the live-
action "Spider-Man" series of the 70's. In one episode, "Night of the Clones",
an evil professor (well, his clone, actually) saw Spider-Man get injured and
got a sample of his blood. He used it to produce a clone, and when that clone
came out of the artificial womb, the professor was surprised to recognize Peter
Parker, a photographer who had been present at his demonstration of cloning
techniques. That could be where your memories are coming from.

From Emily
Hi, my boyfriend is a huge super hero fan, a while ago he mentioned an episode
of Spider-Man where he meets Stan Lee and finds out that he really is a comic
book hero and not a real person. I thought it would be great to find this for
him as a gift, but I can't remember now if what he was talking about was an
actual comic book story or something from a television show. If you could tell
me whether it was from a comic book or a television show, the title of it, or
the year it was out that would be amazing.
That's the final episode of the mid-90's cartoon "Spider-Man". The episode
itself was called "Spider Wars Chapter 2: Farewell Spider-Man". It has yet to
be released on video/DVD, Emily, but with the current MTV Spider-Man series on
DVD, and recently the original 60's version, the 90's one may not be far
away.
From mail4333
Can you give me a reasonable idea of how much a 1992 Spider-man superheroes
card is worth? I know that 1992 was the thirty year anniversary of Spider-man
but this card isn't drawn by Todd McFarlane, its by some other guy Erik
something.
I hate to break it to you, mail, but if you got a card dealer to give you a
quarter for it, you'd be lucky.

YO YOUR SITE IS DA BOMB! Do you know which issue Doctor Octopus claimed that
he had sensitive eyes and hence wore the sun glasses? Also in the movie Doctor
Octopus doesn't blame Spider-Man for his Rosie's death, yet in the game and
comic book adaptation he does. Do you think that the movie would've been better
if he blamed Spider-Man for his wife's untimely demise?
WORD! WE GOT SPIDEY IN THE HIZZZOUS! As far as I know, the only time Doc Ock
has claimed light-sensitve eyes was in the recent mini-series "Negative
Exposure". In all other appearances, he simply can't see without them. And
no, I think the movie worked fine with Ock's motivation as it was. It made him
more of a tragic figure and not so over-the-top like the movie Green Goblin.
From bobfreeman
When Kingsley finally got tired of Macendale posing as the Hobgoblin and came
back and killed him, was it Hobgoblin versus Hobgoblin? Meaning, did they both
wear their uniforms during the battle?
Neither one was wearing a costume, bob. Kingsley, wearing plainclothes and a
disguise, killed Macendale while Mac was in his prison cell. But don't take my
word for it. It's in HOBGOBLIN LIVES #1, or you can look for the TPB which
reprints all three issues.
From Chris the Greek
When I was a kid (let's say sometime in the late 1970s), I had a comic in which
Spidey battled the Impossible Man. The only thing I remember clearly about this
story is that Impy created several "anti-Spider-Men" - duplicates of Spidey
whose costume colors were reversed; blue where Spidey was red, and vice-versa.
ANY assistance in my finding this lost bit of my childhood is welcome.
It sounds like you're thinking of SPIDEY SUPER STORIES #25. Check out the
cover on our website here, Chris, and see if it jogs your memory.
From amheitkemper
In what issue and year did Spider-Man first use his spider tracer?
Peter invented his spider-tracers way back in ASM #11 to keep tabs on Doctor
Octopus.
From Bob Horihan
I'm mildly confused about the various Spider-Man universes circulating these
days. When the Pulse started, I initially thought it was in the Ultimate
universe (probably the Bendis/Bagley factor working subconsciously on me), but
the latest issue seems to lock it pretty definitely in the standard
continuity. The real question for me comes with the Marvel Knights series, and
the sticking point is the status of the Green Goblin. Wasn't he incarcerated
in the first issue? But he is at large in the Pulse? So is Marvel Knights yet
another Spider-Man universe, or do the stories in question simply take place at
different relative times?
Both THE PULSE and MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN (MKSM) take place in regular
continuity, Bob. The first PULSE storyline "Into Thin Air" takes place
*before* MKSM #1, and in fact, leads directly into it.
From jrunyan2000
I saw the movie not too long ago. They had the neighbor, who was helping Aunt
May, and Peter Parker says he's getting taller. Is the kid neighbor a
character in the comic book? I wish I could remember his name.
Aunt May's young neighbor Henry Jackson, played by Jason Fiore-Ortiz, has no
comic book equivalent, Jrun.
