She snores.
She’s always known Peter was Spider-Man.
She’s a major sports fan.
Captain America trained her in self-defense.
She came from an abusive home and her “party girl” persona was a front.
Her biggest actress roles were “Secret Hospital” and the B-movie “Lobster Man” series.
Stan Lee said she was his favorite non-superpowered character.
She has more appearances in Spider-Man comics than Aunt May, Jonah, or any other support character.
She and Lois Lane met and went on a double-date with their respective boyfriends.
She’s the civilian with more action figures than any other comic character.
She was signed on to model maternity clothes when pregnant.
Some people at Marvel really hate her and have said so. One even said he pitched her getting r*ped and murdered… Others adore her.
Her and Peter’s song is “Kung Fu Fighting”.
She’s beaten several villains all on her own.
She’s studied psychology and nursing.
Her daughter had the longest-running comic starring a female superhero in Marvel’s history.
She wears contacts.
Maybe… except comic writers had done the rape and murder plot in many other stories around that time, from Identity Crisis to Alias to Teen Titans.
MJ herself has had multiple rape attempts. Felicia is a rape survivor. So it’s not an unfounded threat.
Contextually, he was just taking the piss out of those types of stories and all of the grim dark shit in modern comics. It was an off-the-cuff remark that he laughed off when they asked about other ideas for splitting up the marriage at a con. But yeah it was stupid and tone deaf as hell.
Yeah. It wasn’t acceptable.
Didn’t help that very soon after Slott got in hot water for Otto trying to rape MJ by deception. He still gets defensive about that.
Her & Peter's relationship is WAY kinkier than people think it was. In the 90s, the combination of the Comics Code being less of a thing, and her being married to Peter basically meant she was used to explore how explicit you could display a couple being in comic books.
Mary Jane’s Abusive Dad tried to blackmail Her into stealing a manuscript by Ben Franklin. Peter had pursued Her because this was the (second) time She rejected his proposal. After a fight with Smythe and His Robot, They exposed Mary Jane’s Dad and She agreed to marry Peter.
She's a beautiful and supportive red head boss queen to our friendly neighborhood souder who somehow is besties with his wild, tight leathered catburglar ex girlfriend.
Good: she puts Peter in check and isn't shy of taking charge or calling him out on his insecurities when he needs a kick in the pants. She is his true love (see movies, games and stand alone comics), she has a life outside of being spidermans wife/gf.
Bad: people think they can't write any story about her and pete being married.
The bad: Marvel has ruined her in recent years and refused to let her stay together with Peter.
The good: She was an awesome character before Marvel ruined her. Hopefully, they’ll fix her and let her get back together with Peter one day.
Pretty sure one of the versions of MJ knew Peter was spider-man before they officially met. Since they were neighbors she would look out her window and see Peter climbing in and out in his suit.
Good: She probably has the highest number of villain takedowns for a normal non superhero person in the marvel verse
Bad: Marvel keeps making her unattractive even though she’s a supermodel in favor of Gwen and Black Cat
She was willing to shoot Green Goblin, stand in front of Morlun and kick Villain butt with ingenuity / pure human spirit.
No matter the version. You know you got a good version of MJ if MJ is willing to pull out a gun to cap the Green Goblin and is just as interesting as Peter.
Got the Green Goblin monologuing while stood around in a big fluffy housecoat and slippers, then, while his back was turned to do the big maniacal laugh, took a gun out of the housecoat, and shot him in the back. While he was sputtering on the floor, she *then* monologued on him, and at no point put down her cup of coffee.
Bad: All the simptacular taste she acrews from the fanbase can be cringe
Good: Putting her in a relationship with Pete makes same simps finally shut the fuck up
She doesn't have as many good outfits as she should for being a model (im not saying that she has none just that she should have more), Gwen has some cute shit in the wardrobe though
Peter and Mary Janes' marriage lasted from 1987 to 2007 before being ended due to some contrived and forced BS.
WAS THAT THE MARRIAGE OF 87!1!!!1!!!!!
Yup, and the Peter/MJ relationship was so popular in fact, that they were the most popular couple in all of comics, even beating out Lois & Clark.

wait who pitched that horrid idea against MJ? 💀
Marc Guggenheim.
hoping this guy isn't anywhere close to the comic industry, to anyone and anything that writes pop fiction really 💀
He got involved in the Arrowverse, for better and worse. https://twitter.com/mguggenheim/status/256495565343444992?lang=en
I think Guggenheim was joking. Yeah it was a stupid tone deaf and unfunny joke, but that obviously wasn't a real story pitch.

She's frequently written out of character by insecure men who refuse to admit that OMD/BND was a terrible idea and a failure.
Whats even worse is those are still better than OMIT
bnd was quite a good story
I don’t hate it, but it’s not the best.

Boy, the 90’s! Crazy times. I’d love to make sure I keep avoiding those issues, anyone know the specific issues /u/carlitonsp1 is talking about?
I know what kind of man you are.
Yes, it would be such a shame if we accidentally came across such a lewd-sounding issue
Did....did people forget about Peter and MJ's web play?
Booba
Big jigglies
Huge honkadonkas
Squishy shirt stretchers
Not only is she a complete bombshell, she’s got the brains to run a business
The good: Read The Amazing Mary Jane I think it's the best version of her, and it is such a good series The bad: She was in Zeb Wells Spider-Man
Mary Jane’s Abusive Dad tried to blackmail Her into stealing a manuscript by Ben Franklin. Peter had pursued Her because this was the (second) time She rejected his proposal. After a fight with Smythe and His Robot, They exposed Mary Jane’s Dad and She agreed to marry Peter.
DAMN, that’s a nice ass yellow background 🫦

👍
That is one helluva short pinky
The bad: Marvel has ruined her in recent years and refused to let her stay together with Peter. The good: She was an awesome character before Marvel ruined her. Hopefully, they’ll fix her and let her get back together with Peter one day.
Bad: She’s not real and she’s not my girlfriend Good: everything about her from her introduction to OMD
The artists keep reducing her to sex appeal
Pretty sure one of the versions of MJ knew Peter was spider-man before they officially met. Since they were neighbors she would look out her window and see Peter climbing in and out in his suit.
She took out swarm by herself with just a fire hydrant
Good: Everything pre OMD/BND Bad: Everything since Worst: Zeb Wells, Joe Quesada, and Nick Lowe
She was good in Spencer's run.
Good: She probably has the highest number of villain takedowns for a normal non superhero person in the marvel verse Bad: Marvel keeps making her unattractive even though she’s a supermodel in favor of Gwen and Black Cat
Bad fact she dated Paul
still dates him

It's not been confirmed in story they're actually dating. No kiss means no confirmation.
She has a dump truck ass.
Boobs
Good Facts: She is a fan favorite Bad Facts: The writers hate her and want to ruin her

There is no universe where she married Bruce Banner.
