He might not be the most important character of the spiderman mythos , but so far every attempt to remove Toomes or makes younger , the old vulture , failed massively .

He does have a decent load of backstories , and there is no need to make every spiderman ennemy someone with a deeply personal grudge , we do need just a few semi competent greed and power driven plain criminals , and Vulture and Shocker provide that .

I'm not especially worried , they know there are people up in arms at any change , and they know their previous attempts at more than an updated costume failed and generated even less interest (especially Ultimate Vulture) than the plain old Adrian Toomes .

It's just bored bloggers/jounalists trying to create stuff out of nothingness . They are proposing just an idea , and some producter is just saying "ok why not , but i'm not committed to that"

:(

Sorry, they make a storyline about Spider-Man being gay and I'm done with my monthly comic subscriptions.

Nothing against gay people, just leave my superhero's alone!
