I’m watching Linkara’s hysterical attempt at explaining The Clone Saga from the Spider-Man comics. (Or just Maximum Clonage, since you can’t explain it all in 30 minutes) And I seem to remember a 90’s villain of some sort that was named something along the lines of Looker. Wikipedia doesn’t mention anyone except a DC Comics hero with that name, so I don’t know. But she was blonde, and had big muscles, and some sort of secret—wore a red costume. Anyone know who she was?

Let it be known that debacle is where I started reading Spider-Man for the first time—I held on for however many years it lasted, bought tons and tons of back issues and special issues and quit when Norman was revealed to be behind it all. And then I returned, just in time for Gwen and Norman’s kids. Fled again. Returned just in time for Peter to turn into a giant spider and give birth to himself--I don’t know what was going on there, and I don’t want to know. *laughs*

I also just stumbled across Topless Robot’s list of The 13 Dumbest Spider-Man Stories From The Clone Saga. #2 is around where I first came in.
