A few weeks ago, I asked you -- my dear friends -- a simple question:
Having promised 500 points to the first person to provide the correct answer, and 100 points for the funniest answer, I received a goodly lot of responses.
Of course, being a bit out of synch with LJ these days, it has also taken me a small forever to actually return to award said points and provide the answer. Even so, tis better late than never. If somebody wouldn't mind providing a bit of a drum roll, we will be on our merry way!
First, 100 points are given to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
blaisepascal for the Spider-Man / Muppet crossover. (Of course, now that The Mouse owns both Jim Henson Studios and Marvel Entertainment, such an event may not be far off...)
Next, no one got quite the right answer... but the closest reply was fromkenshardik, who said: "They're both ghosts now". Indeed, the right answer is that they are both BLUE ghosts now! See for yourself:
From "Super Spider-Man #1" (last page)

To make a long story short, a dying Doctor Octopus switched bodies[*] with Peter Parker. Peter's attempt to regain his own body failed... and he shuffled off this mortal coil when Otto Octavius's frail frame expired in December's Amazing Spider-Man #700. Otto-in-Spidey has decided to be a better Spider-Man than Peter ever was, and the series was relaunched last month as Superior Spider-Man. Except that -- to nobody's great surprise -- Peter Parker isn't really dead.
Anyway,kenshardik came closest, so I give him 250 of the 500 points set aside for the right answer. Well done! I also give everyone who responded to that post a bonus 50 points... just for being patient whilst I took a friggin' small eternity to respond!
[*] Or, depending on your perspective, minds.
What do Peter Parker and "Inky" have in common?
