Come on, Jesse, name names.  There's nothing wrong, after all, with
people not wanting their characters butchered.  Anyway, you can't be
talking about me.  I let you do the Psykeye cameo and, gosh, he was
already dead.  I can take a joke, you know.

???  Why couldn't Monark be the Unmarried Master Blaster from the
alternate timeline?  In fact, the impression I got was that he was...
or else why would Monark have exploded when Master Blater killed the
Unmarried Master Blaster?  I suppose having Applicant Lad become Monark
makes sense, excpet then why would he have thought he was Master
Blaster?  I'm so confused!

Actually, what happened was Roger Stern was the only one who knew who
the Hobgoblin was and when he was taken off Amazing Spiderman he didn't
tell anybody who Hobgoblin was supposed to be so they just decided it
was Ned Leeds until Roger Stern came back and finished the story the
way he had originally planned to finish it.
