[net.comics] Spiderman and Mary Jane.

tamanaha@cit-vax.Caltech.Edu (Chris Tamanaha) (03/11/86)

	My friend wants to know in what issue of what comic did Spiderman
reveal his secret identity to Mary Jane or rather did she stumble upon it?
And along the same lines -- what other characters (living or dead) know or
knew the connection between Peter Parker and Spiderman?

	Thanks in advance.

This happened within the last year or so in Amazing Spiderman.
Mary Jane admits to Peter Parker that she knows he's Spiderman.
She has apparently known for quite some time because she refused
his marriage proposal 3 or 4 years ago on the basis of this
info.  I don't have access to my collection right now or I'd
give you the exact issues.

Dead:
	Gwen Stacy's father
	Gwen Stacy 
		(actually her clone is now living somewhere in the SW USA)
	The Green Goblin
	The Jackal 
		(one of Peter's old professors--also made Gwen Stacy clone)
	The Jackal's clone 
		(not known by this name but I forget what it really is.  
		This character was very gruesome and one of the most 
		frightening Spiderman has ever faced in my humble opinion.)

Living:
	Mary Jane
	The Hobgoblin (Possibly)

This list is incomplete.  I'll search back issues and see if I 
can come up with a complete list and the pertinent issues.

The Jackal's clone was Carrion. I don't think that Gwen or the Hobgoblin
every knew. I think the only others are Matt Murdock and Madam Web.

Re:  Those who know Spidey's identity

Let's not leave out Felicia Hardy (aka The Black Cat).
