Marvel editor-in-chief Joe Quesada has teased fans with the prospect of Peter Parker becoming a father in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man.

The recent Brand New Day storyline in the thrice-monthly comic was an attempt by bosses at Marvel to breathe new life into the series by re-establishing Peter Parker as a single man.

The second step has been to reintroduce classic villains with the Gauntlet plotline. When Quesada was quizzed about what a third step might include, he revealed that the superhero might become a dad.

Quesada told CBR: "Well, I think it's pretty obvious that MJ is going to be back, so that's going to open a whole new can of worms with respect to relationships the characters will have or won't have.

"Should I even say the word 'baby'? Should I use that word? I'll just put that out there: Baby. Mary Jane. Baby. Mary Jane with a... yes, baby. I'll stop there."

Amazing Spider-Man #614, by Mark Waid and Paul Azeceta, is out on December 9.
