Is Spidey still on the FF?

[shadow panther]

well ive been thumbing through both FF titles at my LCS and there has been no appearance or even a mention of spidey whatsoever. guess thats that

[Venomous Mask]

I bought the first issue of Future Foundation, but after seeing that it mostly drew on Fantastic Four mythos, and I reall don't care about them, I didn't continue with the series.

Spidey never became more then a temp. He wasn't treated like family and treated more like a guest star. Also it kinda seemed pointless because he was also an Avenger and a solo hero. When the hell did he find time to be an FF member?

Guess he's become the next She-Hulk/Storm/Black Panther, only keeping the seat warm until the member(s) he was taking the spot of returned. Just sucks that he seems to have been so unceremoniously written out of the team. There could have at least been some mention somewhere as to where he went considering that he's so close to the group.

Well, She-Hulk's stint was actually quite long so she was more than a seat warmer. As for Spidey, as someone mentioned above plots for ASM #700 may have something to do with his shortened stint and abrupt departure.

I believe that the main reason they don't use Spidey much in cross overs or just bring him down to comic relief is because he is Marvel's biggest hero. If he is used in a story in a big way he takes up the spot light. It ceases to be FF or Avengers and becomes Spider Man and his amazing friends. Fact is he is to big a character to use in permanent Team stories. Although make no mistake I love teams ups with Spidey.

I do hope...he was given a proper exit

Aside for ASM and the Battle of the Five Cities?..He didnt do anything memorable in FF.

Great character moments yes but not so much relevace to the whole FF/F4 continuuity

which is sad because peter was always portrayed as family around the FF in the past

[Ravin' Ray]

Well, whoever is the FF/F4 writer when ASM #700 rolls out, will have to address the team's reaction to whatever that development is. Especially Johnny's reaction.

[Ravin' Ray]

Ok, Spidey may not be in the Fantastic Four, but he can still guest in their title like today's #609.

[DebkoX]

His suit is the best.

wasnt peter in FF about two issues ago? you know, the issue with Anihilus and the newspaper (hihi)

[Ravin' Ray]

Spidey's still joining the FF in their missions outside of the Giganto affair in ASM #692. Here he is in Fantastic Four #610, riding along in the Fantasticar as they all fly to the island nation of Barbuda where the Wizard's (who is well and alive after being shot into space by Doc Ock) A.I.M. faction have set up shop. Looks like he's still a member of the Future Foundation who is called on to join missions every now and then.

[Kevinroc]

I wonder if Peter will still be a part of the Future Foundation when Fraction takes over.

[Darthfury78]

I very much agree. When it was first announced that he would join the FF, I was hopeful; after all, given his history with the team and his scientific acumen, it seemed (and still seems, to me) like a much better fit than the Avengers ever did.

But, everything about his tenure---from the hideous white suit to his meshing with the team---never rang true although, to be fair, he had more impact in a few short years than the 7-8 years he spent on the Avengers where he was little more than comic relief. I maintain that Spidey is best used for team-ups and guest-starring roles and not as a full fledged member of any team.

I feel that the writers are to blame because they didn't know how to use Spider-Man as a contributing team member. This might have to do with the notion that Spider-Man is just a comic relief because they are afraid to take a chance on the character. It only takes a writer who is interested with using Spider-Man. Otherwise, they will just keep him on the side.
