This dialogue is a bit cringe…
@Al: It isn’t, but it does feature Punisher dressed up as Santa.
Is this the holiday special with mephisto?
I think Benjamin had been established as his middle name already by this point, but it was very rarely mentioned, I imagine that Stan Lee simply didn’t know about it because until relatively recently, it was a pretty obscure bit of trivia.
Didn’t Stan come up with the middle initial Q long before anyone said Peter’s middle name was “Benjamin”? For some reason I remember Stan saying “Peter Q. Parker” in the newspaper strip.
@Evan: It is, but it doesn’t surprise me that Stan Lee didn’t know that and/or forgot.
Isn’t Peter’s middle name Benjamin?
