It's kind of weird there, what with being mid-90s DC storytelling. Oliver Queen died between Parallax's defeat in Zero Hour and Parallax's return in Final Night. Parallax sort of brought Ollie back to life before sacrificing himself and eventually becoming the Spectre a few years later.

Of course, it turned out that the Ollie that Hal 'made' was more of a construct with most of his memories but without his soul, because Ollie didn't actually want to come back from Heaven and inhabit the body, until Quiver.

This didn't take long.

And yet, it did.

Yeah, the baby part is from way back when I stopped reading Spider-Man.

Huh, it's almost as if Marvel doesn't have any long-term plans for the growth of one of their most popular characters, and is instead banking on hype and the whims of an increasingly fickle audience to boost sales...

Related: it was reported today that Spider-Man 4 is on hold because they don't want to listen to Raimi, who wants to use an oldschool Spidey villain.

That's right, guys: Marvel STILL thinks it's a good idea to demand that Raimi shoehorn in somebody they want instead of the villain HE wants.  Because it worked so goddamn well with Venom.

Didn't Raimi want to re-imagine Felicia Hardy as the Vulturess?

That does present some intriguing possibilities.

I find it very unlikely that Raimi even knew who the fuck Felicia Hardy WAS before Marvel told him to put her in the movie.

Which old-school villain? Cougar or not I find it kinda hard to believe that any incarnation of The Vulture could carry an entire movie.

Nor could any other enemy named after an animal (that hasn't been in a movie yet). Except maybe the Chameleon.

Hmmm, Electro was the villain for James Cameron's script for Spider-Man....

Could be worse though. We could get Paste-Pot Pete, the Hypno-Hustler or Spot.

Paste-pot Pete! How could I forget him?! *giggles*

OH SHIT! To hell with all that, for sheer unbridled comedy why go with half measures? Time for the nuclear silliness option!:

I'd watch a movie with Spot if it were tempered by someone like, say... Kraven.

Bruce Campbell has long been rumored/hoped for as Mysterio, and damnit, Bruce Campbell as Mysterio could carry an entire film himself.
