>In the Battleworld version, you had the section on that wacky map which was called The Regency. When you think about it, all they really knew in their world was the Tri-State area. That's not as far as the world extended -- they just dealt with that.
>This is a Regent that lives in our world, and sees the totality of it. We're also going to see more about why he's doing what he's doing. In Battleworld, he was doing it because he knew about this god named Doom, that was controlling their fates. Everything he was doing was to build up to a confrontation, to make himself as powerful as a god, to confront Doom. This Regent has a completely different set of motivations in our new, Marvel-Prime Universe.
Does Spider-Man know this Regent?
>Nope. The Marvel-Prime Peter has no idea, but you can bet -- since we're doing a Regent story -- that yeah, there's going to be Peter and Mary Jane dealing with this. It's a way of bringing her back into the book.
