When Mary Jane Watson first stepped into Peter Parker’s life as a teenager, she had no idea she was taking the first step into a larger world of fantastic dangers and superheroics. Over the years, she’s navigated that world pretty well as a confidant to heroes like Spider-Man, but now she’s got superpowers of her own and is ready to walk her own heroic path as the hero known as Jackpot.She takes her first big steps along that path in January’s Jackpot one-shot, by writer Celeste Bronfman and artist Joey Vazquez, where MJ will bring the random assortment of powers her Jackpot technology endows her with to bear against the super criminals of the Gang War event. Then, in March, MJ’s journey continues in the Jackpot and Black Cat miniseries by Bronfman and artist Emilio Laiso. CBR spoke with Bronfman about both books, the heroes and villains MJ encounters, the recent tragedies her protagonist has endured, and the joys and challenges of penning a character whose power sets can vary wildly. Marvel also provided a first look at some of Vazquez’s art from the Jackpot one-shot.Celeste Bronfman: When we meet back up with MJ, she’s still very much in recovery mode. She’s really resilient, but what she’s been through with Aunt Anna and the children has made her feel really powerless — like she has no control over her life. That’s something she’s going to have to grapple with in this one-shot as she faces off against a villain who quite literally takes away her power. I really loved exploring the parallels there.
