Death of a Chameleon Vol 2 (no title)
This book also includes an introduction about the man, his art, the history of the era, and his relationship with Marvel Comics. For fans of golden age material or Bill Everett Amazing Mysteries: The Bill Everett Archives, Vol. The comics studios of the golden age were product mills that threw any idea against the wall in hope it would stick, and Everett did much the same.
Forgotten sci-fi and superhero creations, as well as forays into westerns, historical retellings, and crime comics, populate this loaded volume, which reads like it fell straight out of some four-color twilight zone. What you see here are the glimmers of an artist struggling to comprehend the potential of this relatively new medium [and] how he can push it to match his own interests. Full Cast and Crew.

You can't die twice. Nah, it was Mary Jane's Ambien.
She was just screwing with him. This was during the period between Peter unmasking and him turning on the Registration side. Peter's Villains came after him now that they knew who he was. Chameleon's big idea was to infiltrate Stark Tower as Peter and go after Aunt May, but it didn't work. IIRC the fact that the Chameleon was alive at all at this point was a bit of a surprise, but I may be forgetting an issue. Not to be confused with the time about eight years prior to this when he figured out Spider-Man's identity and disguised himself as Peter Parker and went home to Aunt May and Mary Jane and was getting all ready to bang the wife but she knew who he was and instead beat him half to death with Something from around the house.
I believe one of Kraven's kids kills him in this issue. Or maybe he jumps off bridge? Chameleon is a little fuzzy to me at this point. Yes, they've gone back to the same Chameleon story three times. In a row, I believe. In less than ten years. Kraven's kid shoots him in the head in , in that was revealed to have been a tranquilizer dart and Chameleon goes through the Mary Jane thing and gives up villainy before jumping off Gwen Stacy's bridge, by this story in the mids it is a surprise that he survived and that he's evil again, and the BND story is in IIRC he discovers Peter's identity in the '97 story, I believe, which allows him to theoretically get the drop on them in the 99 story where he jumps off the bridge?
It really is a shame they won't let these guys move on.

While obviously my memory is fuzzy, both the '97 and '99 stories were pretty good for the Chameleon, and all the BND story did is cause controversy. Especially since, like The Lizard of around this same time and Venom, while we're at it , him even being around afterwards is a total plot hole. But it's that way with basically everyone. It's especially grating because they came up with strikingly similar villains for basically all of these characters though in Ock's case it didn't happen for twenty years , so bringing them back doesn't really help much.
Only one I'm kinda happy they killed off and brought back is Mysterio, and that's because he didn't get his proper send-off in Spider-Man but was traded to Daredevil to give that book some more punch. I haven't read those stories featuring Chameleon in a while, but he def learns Peter's identity before '99, so it's either during the '97 story or between the two years as explained in a flashback during the '99 story or something.
And I both agree and disagree with you. The arc his character went through from his first appearance to Kraven's first, then to Lifetheft and Pursuit 2 '94 stories that honorarily kicked off the Clone Saga , and finally the '97 and '99 story was incredible.
All the Webspinner stories were in my opinion.

But even though they brought him back to his roots in Sensational, I thought they handled it well. They explained how he survived his suicide attempt, and how it hardened him after his treatments and Peter deciding to publicly unmask. Based off the '99 story, Chameleon though he had a weird bond with Peter when he learned his identity, and Peter broke that bond by unmasking so he wanted twisted revenge. And with BND, when Chameleon forgot his identity with everyone else, it did something worse than break him.
The Chameleon (short story)
He became sadistic, and Peter just happened to become one of his victims by accident this time. Ever since the BND story including his Kraven family reunion , he has reverted back to his pres character, but with hints of BND still in there, as seen in Avenging Spider-Man So I like that they were able to do something with Chameleon through bringing him back.
He's evolved as a character and I like anticipating what he'll do next. So that's how I agree and disagree with you on the idea of bringing back villains after their stories could have come to an "end": Goblin 1 turned out to be running the whole damn Clone Saga and ruining Peter's life, then does even more twisted shit while being semi-immortal. He even got his own Dark Reign.

On that note, with Clone Conspiracy in general it gives the villains a chance to be made great. It's actually unknown if Goblin 3 survived those events, but Montana, Massacre, and Allistaire Smythe did among others.
I agree that Grim Hunt should never have happened, and they haven't done anything good with Kraven or Sandman since either and I'm not sure which Lizard arc you're referring to , but they both have a chance at least to become great. I like what's been done with Lizard also, for example. In addition, the replacement villains also have their merits. The original Hobgoblin mystery is awesome. The Grim Hunter is one of my favorite 90s villains; both of these prove that even if replacement villains are lazy, they too can become great with a distinct story.
I'm not sure who you're referring to either in regards to the other villains and their replacements though and if for Venom it's Carnage then fight me Carnage is the GOAT. On a last note, I really want them to explain exactly how they brought back Mysterio. I like him and all but And they never mention that again?
When I was reading Spider-Man for the first time, what I really liked about the first thirty to thirty five years was how it was a comic always moving forward. Peter was in high school then he graduated then he was in college then he graduated then grad school then working then married, etc. And his villains seemed to be doing this as well.

The void created by Norman led to Harry who I meant when I said Goblin 3 because I forgot how Hamilton got the costume, dumb move by me and Hobgoblin, both of which had lots of great stories.
