Come one, come all! It's time again to speculate and debate the identity of Spidey's newest foe. A quirk reminder of the clues at this current time
>Kindred has intimate knowledge about Peter Parker and Spider-Man. His friends, his history, etc.This points to a close friend or past acquaintance.
>Kindred has magical powers, most notably reviving characters such as Mysterio and Sin-Eater.
>Kindred has a personal hatred of Norman Osborn, is seen as a worthy heir, "One big happy family".
>Writer Nick Spencer states that we should looking at what Kindred wants Peter to do, rather than focus on who he is.
>It is very likely that Kindred is someone who attended Harry's surprise party when he was going through his struggle with drugs.
>Evidence suggests that Kindred's powers are linked to an Egyptian god, Sepa. This may be linked to The Lifeline Tablet, the relic Kingpin is after.
Top suspects; Gwen Stacy, Randy Robertson, Harry Osborn, and Peter Parker himself. Thoughts?
SPIDER-MAN: KINDRED
kindred with boobies
I know who I've got my money on.
Not an airtight argument, but it fills in more holes than all the other theories.
>another edgelord smile 80s style character
Fuck this trash, Kull and Batkek are already bad enough
Check this shit out. It was this issue where
>Harry was schizo after taking LSD
>Norman remembered he was The Green Goblin
>The day Sins Past happened
>The day Gwen Stacy died
My biggest problem with the Gwen Stacey theory is why would she be in Hell? Also
Add to the evidence list
>Has been to Hell/resurrects people by taking their souls out of Hell
>Kindred
>Family
With that in mind, I think it’s Harry.
>My biggest problem with the Gwen Stacey theory is why would she be in Hell?
Premarital sex
That was already implied with the Sepa point. We could also argue all day the nature of how Gwen got damned, be it through a Mephisto deal or fucking Norman. Simply put, we don't know at this time. However I will say that Kindred's jacket does look similar to Gwen's, we don't know if Kindred is a man or a woman, and it would kind of explain the Gwen mini out right now.
"Kindred" doesn't have to be blood relation. In this context it appears to be someone Peter knew dearly
God, what a shitty design.
The fuck is your problem? He looks fine
I think it works fine the way it's presented in the comic (meaning with good colour contrast and not hyperrealistic): Mummy looking guy in a purple coat and a bigass centipede coiling around him. Simple and has a good silhouette.
>be it through a Mephisto deal
I don't see how that would effect her at all
>Kindred's jacket does look similar to Gwen's
Didn't Anons point to it looking like a Jacket Mary Jane wore in an old issue with Robertson in the background?
>We don't know
that's my point a person who went/can go to hell is as far as I see it part of the evidence right now. People want to sum up "has died" as the same thing as "went to hell" when I don't think that's fair.
Either a theory has to link a character to hell or just add ability to go to Hell as part of the magic moveset in general and therefore not specific evidence
>Kindred" doesn't have to be blood relation
Yeah and out of OP’s selection, only Harry would consider Pete as family and it also have an interest in Norman.
Though I get a feeling that it could be some hidden figure from Harry’s party. What would this thread think if it is some newly made character? I mean the writer did tell readers not to worry who kindred is.
>I don't see how that would effect her at all
She could have made a deal with him at some point, deceived somehow.
Anyone who's a close friend of Peter could be considered family, not just Harry
With the way he cared for Peter's close ones and his innate knowledge of the guy, I assumed he was some fucked hell reflection of Peter himself, probably something to do with the entire OMD shitfest that gets repeatedly referenced in the current run.
At least until the Norman thing happened, that threw a wrench on the whole idea.
>if it is some newly made character?
I would grown
>I mean the writer did tell readers not to worry who kindred is.
Yeah but at that point why not just say it from the start? why have them wear a mask/be mummified at all? If you make a mystery it's on you to make it satisfying/fair
I think it can be a "hidden" (not on panel but reasonable to assume/guess would be in it) character in the party. My main non-OMD suspect at the moment is Liz Allen
You're talking to more than one person, also it's painfully generic, edgy, lazy and just ugly(not in a cool way), like a bootleg scarecrow from Batman.
You're a certified retard, you know that? Nobody gives a damn what you think about what Kindred looks like, we're here to talk about the mystery.
>Randy Robertson
Huh, I honestly have never heard of the guy since I have some big gaps in my reading history but I see he has history with Boomerang so I can see it given how prominent he is now.
>Nobody gives a damn what you think about what Kindred looks like
Then don't reply to me you massive dumbfuck, also eat shit no one is browsing this site to please you. This character design is trash.
Thomas Elliot
Your taste is trash.
I skipped the 2099 arc was there any new info/Kindred scenes in it?
I don't think so, unless the Chameleon/Teresa plot is tied to it. Chameleon is apparently manipulating Norah Winters though
MJ's jacket from her and Peter's first kiss, to be precise. That's why I think Kindred's a manifestation stemming from her.
>Liz Allen
was she dead at any point?
again, i do understand "hell" might not be literal but still
Again she's my non-OMD guess because people pointed to Harry but I thought "Harry doesn't have motive" but Liz Allen has both the motive and character connection what's missing for her is you guessed it ties to hell
I honestly only thought of it because that one Harrycuck that is obsessed with this story somehow not being tied to OMD at all
nobody cares
forget about spider until writer changes
/thread
Fuck off Slott
Bruh.
Bruh, what if it's Knull with a facelift?
Thats it, it’s over. Pack it up everyone.
The pic of Kindred is clearly Harry. Look at that noticeable chin, it’s very similar to Harry’s. Look at my post’s pic and compare.
Its not a unique facial feature
I said this in a previous thread but my stupid theory is that Kindred is a hivemind. The centipedes are all individual beings based upon various characters in Peter's past, such as Gwen, Randy, Harry, Flash, etc.; the main body is the hivemind incarnate.
Are there only three centipedes?
Uncle Ben
Spencer sucks, bring back Slott
Keep swallowing shit and being grateful for it
Dan fuck off and get the Boomerflu
Slott is more fun, marriagefags have no taste
t. Quesada
Slott, get help. It's well known that you lurk
ITS GWEN U RETARDS
WHY WAS SHE IN HELL THEN?
Even if fucking Norman was a one way ticket to hell, it wouldn't explain the centipedes in her vagina.
Or would it?
This is my new favorite theory and it's going to suck when it's just one dude.
FOR FUCKS SAKE YOU IDIOTS NEVER LISTEN! WHY THE FUCK WOULD HARRY SIT THERE AND LET NORMIE BE IN DANGER AS CARNAGE WAS ABOUT TO SLICE HIM? WHY WOULD HE HAVE A SINGLE REASON TO HATE PETER PARKER OR SPIDER-MAN WHEN HE JUST SAVED LIZ AND REUNITED HIS FAMILY? WHEN THE FUCK IS NORMAN EVER PROUD OF HIM? WHY WOULD KINDRED SAY OUT LOUD THAT NORMAN'S FINAL WORDS TO HIM WERE A RED HERRING AND THAT NORMAN HAS THE WRONG IDEA? YOU IDIOTS ARE JUST MAKING UP SHIT AS TO HOW HE WOULD EVEN KNOW HIS IDENTITY!
>WHEN THE FUCK IS NORMAN EVER PROUD OF HIM?
We settled this in the last thread. Normans characterization has bounced around over the years (In-Universe this is explained by him having a fuck ton of mental problems) and that originally his view was that Harry was a good son but he's a shit father to him and hates how he's failing him
The rest are valid points though
It's Dock Ock's corpse
It's Judas Traveller, turns out he had real powers but Norman brainwashed him into believing he was just an illusionist.
Is Liz still evil?
It's The Riddler.
It's Obviously Captain Boomerang from the future!
Are you with me fellow Boomers?
Slott/Quesada > Spencer/Ottley
I think so she's my second/third choice for Kindred
>is some newly made character?
Spencer is not Slott. That would be retarded writing relying on the shock factor
Jason Macendale
keep
eating
SHIT
Stay mad Slott
Im throwing my lot in with yours
Hivemind sounds great, best of both worlds
She had already repented.
Also, she has no reason to hate Spiderman.
Well he did kind of throw away his marriage to Satan, a relationship spawned as a result of her unfortunate death
Ocks body died with Peter's brain patterns mapped to it. It would make sense, but I can't see Spencer having the big bad of his run be based off something Slott did.
