The expression on that waiter’s face is pretty much me all of the time.
@Michael – It’s been years of Black Cat appearances since she and Flash broke up. There have been multiple writers that have written her as having her identity being publicly known.
If it was just one writer since Micheline that had written her with a public identity, then maybe that would explain Slott’s flub here. But he ignored years of established status quo for Felicia just so he could give her a reason (in his eyes only) for justifying turning evil.
The problem started with Michelinie. In Amazing 329, which was published five months after this, Flash started dating Felicia, and Michelinie suggested that Flash didn’t know Felicia was the Black Cat and Peter and MJ couldn’t figure out any way to tell him without revealing Peter’s secret. Later on, Steven Grant revealed that Flash knew all along, since he read it in the papers. But that makes Peter and MJ idiots! Plus, Flash took Felicia with him when he went to parties with Peter’s friends like Betty. Betty must be a really bad reporter! Slott went with Michelinie’s interpretation.
@Sthenurus – Actually Slott’s run is having a huge impact on the current Beyond run, as we’ve found out that Otto trademarking the “Spider-Man” name allowed Beyond Inc to purchase that trademark and make Ben “Spider-Man”. As someone said on the last episode where they reviewed #75, “This is all Otto’s fault.”
@Hornacek.
Slotts run is like chapter one. It happened but we don’t talk about it. It didn’t have any impact long term.
I guess Slott issues like this when he turned her into a supervillain because SpOck arresting her revealed her “secret” identity to the world.
