word of advice : SPOILERS for Amazing Spider - Man # 16
Marvel’sSpider - Manmay be one of the most popular heroes in the world of comics ( and , arguably , the entire world ) , but his enemies execrate him all the same - and the troupe at long last bring out incisively why . Peter Parker is a fictitious character with heap of flaw , but he continues to save people and help others in need , even at the cost of his own well - being . Amazing Spider - Man # 16reveals why his enemies deal very little about Spider - Man ’s foreign mission and why they detest him with a burning warmth : in their nous , itis Spider - Man who is more evilthan any other scoundrel .
Peter Parker may not be a scoundrel , but he certainly has some non - expansive type traits . Peter is quite selfish and even vindictive at times ; this is most evident when he die to stop the burglar inAmazing Fantasy # 15,reasoning that he ’s " look out for bit one " and ca n’t be devil to help anyone else . While this is an inception story and Peter has changed considerably , there are plenty of moments when he savagely outsmart his villains to near - destruction ( Amazing Spider - Man # 122is a meridian example , as he unleashes all of his ire on the Green Goblin , whoonly recently kill his girlfriend Gwen Stacy ) .

InAmazing Spider - Man # 16 , written by Zeb Wells with art by Ed McGuinness , Ben Reilly is a tincture of his former ego . Now called Chasm , the former Spider - Man is fierce at Peter Parker for cruelly destroying a gimmick that supposedly hold his erstwhile memories and tossing him into a infernal region while shouting"Eat psychotic radioactive slime , clone job!“This was not at all what happened inAmazing Spider - Man # 894 : Peter destroyed the twist accidentally , and actually tried tosaveBen from the toxic dark-green sludge that engulfed the building . But in Ben ’s corrupted mind , all he can reckon is blaming Spider - Man for everything awry in his life .
In Chasm’s Mind, Peter Parker as Spider-Man Is Evil
In all fairness , Ben Reilly has blamed Spider - Man for all the problems in his life ever since he was created : the events of theClone Saga , Dead No More , andBeyondstorylines make serious trauma to the character . But this formula goes beyond Ben : nearly all of Spider - Man ’s villains pick the hero for their own problems - especially when he actively tries to save them . The Green Goblin , Doctor Octopus , Venom and more know that Spider - Man has some obscure factor they do not , and impulsively believe Peter has slip something from them . In reality , Peter is simply more responsible .
Spider - Man ’s villains areoften geniuses ( especially Doctor Octopus ) , but they ’re also irrational and prone to overreaction . Whenever their lives go to the south , they blame the closest person them can think of , and that just happen to be Peter Parker . Spider - Manhas horrible luck , but he also abide from the well - known axiom"no good deed go unpunished . "
