Spiderman's Semen Killed Mary Jane!

[elfs]

From Spider Man: Reign #3:

Oh God, I'm sorry! The doctors didn't understand how it happened! How you had been poisoned by radioactivity! How your body slowly became riddled with cancer! I did. I was... I am filled with radioactive blood. And not just blood. Every fluid. Touching me... loving me... Loving me killed you!"

Sadly, this is not a joke.

Oh, it is a joke all right, a very bad one.

Yeah, he's radioactive. Right... wait...

NO HE'S NOT!

Since when has Spiderman actually been radioactive? The spider was. The bite caused Peter to mutate. But he didn't go glow-in-the-dark.

Oh gods, I just went and looked up Reign on Wikipedia and read the summary... Boy that sounds like a steaming pile of suck. Why does everyone think they're Frank Miller and that they can do their own Dark Knight Returns with a different hero?

"Is he strong? Listen bud,
He's got radioactive blood!
Spins a web? Any size,
Catches thieves just like files!
Look out!
Here come's the Spiiiiiidermaaaaan!"

Well, OK, yeah. :-) I don't know if that's canon though - but I never really followed Spiderman, just picked up bits here and there. I just don't recall him being actively radioactive like that. You'd think someone might notice if he were constantly putting out radiation, especially in all his bodily fluids - which includes sweat.
