A Night of Uncharacteristic Behavior
After a day of intense battling, Spider-Man, now influenced by the symbiote, behaves in ways that are completely out of character. He cheats on Mary Jane and enjoys a night with Black Cat. This unusual behavior weighs heavily on Peter Parker, and he soon realizes that something is terribly wrong.
Discovering the Symbiote
Peter visits Reed Richards to run some tests, suspecting that his black suit might not be just a normal suit. Richards confirms that the suit is indeed a symbiote. Despite this revelation, Peter refuses further tests and leaves abruptly, feeling uneasy about the situation.
A Tragic Turn of Events
Seeking solace, Peter heads to Aunt May’s house. However, the villain Hobgoblin attacks, blowing up the entire building. In the chaos, Peter is unable to save Aunt May, and this devastating loss changes him profoundly. Consumed by rage, Peter brutally kills Hobgoblin, crushing his head with his bare hands and hanging his body from a streetlight.
A Vengeful Spree
Fueled by anger, Spider-Man decides to eliminate every villain he encounters. He swiftly kills Kingpin, Copycat, and Shocker. The remaining villains, realizing the threat, form the Sinister Six and lure Peter into a trap. Mysterio attacks with illusions, but Peter quickly kills him. Rhino attacks next, but Peter kills him with a single punch. He then confronts Doctor Octopus but is interrupted by J. Jonah Jameson in a Spider-Slayer armor. Jameson manages to separate Peter from the symbiote, leaving Peter unconscious.
The Aftermath
When Peter regains consciousness, Johnny Storm informs him of the havoc he wreaked while under the symbiote’s influence. Devastated by his actions, Peter never intended to commit such atrocities.
