Anti-Hero: Peter dips into this after he kills Hobgoblin, going on to kill at least 19 other criminals, including the Sinister Six.Towards the end, we see Kingpin still alive after what should have been a fatal blow and being given his own symbiote as part of a Sequel Hook. And this is a Spider-Man's who's enraged, who's not holding back, who's wearing the symbiote suit that should have boosted his already-prodigous super strength beyond even normal levels, and who killed Rhino in a single punch. When he taunts Spider-Man about his aunt, Peter in a fit of rage punches him as hard as he can, seemingly killing him. Adaptational Badass: Not so much in terms of combat or power feats but in terms of sheer durability, Kingpin really takes the cake on this one.The costume chose him and he's choosing it.īut when a visit to Aunt May's house turns tragic, he gives into his darker impulses and does the thing the suit wanted: kill. The only thing that has been going well in his life is his new black costume - no need to change clothes, it never runs out of webbing, and, well, it makes him feel stronger.Īfter an incident with the Hobgoblin, however, things begin to change: Reed Richards informs Peter that his costume is actually alive and he should probably leave it with the Fantastic Four to investigate further, but Peter doesn't want to do that. He's been having issues with MJ and Aunt May and he's also been plagued by persistent nightmares. Peter Parker hasn't been feeling well lately.
