 Quesada , answering questions for Comic Book Resources , said every story that happened in the Spider @-@ Man canon still " counted " , with the only change being that , due to the world 's newly revised memories , Peter and Mary Jane did not marry due to some unknown incident and the official unmasking of his identity to the public during the 2007 Civil War mini @-@ series has been forgotten . A " back and forth " developed between Quesada and J. Michael Straczynski in separate interviews and messages , with Straczynski outlining some of his original plans for the " retcon " , and conversations he had with Quesada about the storyline . Quesada said , " We 're committed to preserving as much of these stories as is humanly possible , " but he added the changing of certain elements is inevitable . For example , he sees the storyline in which Mary Jane was pregnant as never having happened . Also , Spider @-@ Man lost the organic webshooters that he gained in the " Avengers <unk> " storyline , and the other spider @-@ like powers that he gained in the 2005 @-@ 2006 storyline , " The Other . " Quesada commented that in removing those powers and bringing back Spider @-@ Man 's mechanical webshooters , he was returning " an element that [ he ] felt needed to be brought back into Peter 's world , " and that the " mechanical webshooters demonstrate Peter 's ingenuity and overall smarts .
