Whats with the rape comments?
There are two scenes in Amazing Spider-Man which have been interpreted as possible rapes. In Amazing Spider-Man #603, the Chameleon disguised as Peter Parker seduced his roommate Michelle Gonzalez. Two issues later, it was established that they just made out on the kitchen floor. If the two had gone “all the way,” it would not have counted as rape according to current New York state law on the subject (although the law could easily be different in a world in which shapeshifters are more common.) In Amazing Spider-Man #631, after Curt Connors had become the Lizard again, a former coworker was described as being in no shape to talk. She was the only survivor of a massacre. Curt Connors had been portrayed earlier fantasizing about the woman. Editor Steve Wacker posted to say that if any rape was inferred, that was a mistake. The woman was simply in shock after seeing a man-reptile eat her coworkers. There is a further discussion on the topic.
