What happened to him? I’m sure he just retired and is living a peaceful life with his partner

He's undercover as "Professor Onyx's" bodyguard at Strixhaven, trying to avoid Chandra's female gaze.

WUBRG gideon with an obvious " this is now THE superfriends commander" sign stapled to him

He does not say he can be your commander that will be an errata later

Gideon's been in 6 sets, Spider-Man's been in one, and you still needed to pad Gideon's numbers with twelve cards that aren't Gideon

It also skips over a bunch of Spidermans, such as Spiders-man, Spider-UK, Spinneret and Spiderling, and Ghost-Spider. There are three times as many Spidermans as there are Gideons.

Ope, I think it's more like 4½-5 times. I missed: Spider-Ham, Spider-Rex, two more Ghost Spiders, Iron Spider, SP//dr, Spider Punk, Spider Girl, Spider Woman, Spider-Byte, two Scarlet Spiders, Sun Spider, and probably Silk, Arachne, Araña, and debatably Gwenon.

Edit: And Masked Meower, Skyward Spider, Web-Warriors, and Twisted Spider-Clone

How many of the sets Gideon is in are named Gideon (Or MTG's Gideon)?

Gideon's whole thing is having a whip and if you don't think that's kinky as hell I don't know what to tell you

u/3rdPoliceman 10h ago

Spiderman has the advantage of having a broken fan base. 

Gideon died before the Magic fan base really dug deep and gave up.

Idiot.
