Bucky Cap lasted a while. I'm actually surprised Flash Thompson is still Venom. Who knows... maybe Otto will still be Spider-Man by the time Amazing Spider-Man 2 comes out in theaters??

But back to the topic. I skimmed over the discussion page, and I seem to agree with ADour. The field of "current alias" should be reflected with a current image.

When many X-Men were Hulked out in that one Hulk event, I thought it was pointless to change their main image since it only lasted for two months and only in one book. When Psylocke was made Death for an issue of Uncanny X-Force it was so obvious that that would not last for long, so I saw it again as pointless to change her current image to her as Death. I even thought the Phoenix Five X-Men's current photos were a waste of time because anyone with a brain knew that the X-Men would not stay like that forever.

HOWEVER, Marvel obviously plans on this whole "Superior" thing lasting for a while (OK, at least a year our time), so it should be reflected as his main image on his page. Disambig page for Doc Ock, obvs not.

I understand what you're saying LoveWaffle (see my examples of Hulked out heroes, and Phoenix Five above) but I do think the site should have a pic of Otto as Spider-Man for his main image on his page, as it will be a lasting thing. And how long it will last we don't know, unlike with my previous examples above. This could last three months or three years. But Marvel plans on it lasting for "a while" for sure, similar to Carol Danvers becoming Captain Marvel, so again, I think a pic of Otto as Spider-Man should remain.
