[SpideyZERO]

Will Spidey kill or not kill? Interesting

 

[The Joker]

Will Spidey kill or not kill? Interesting

He better not kill

If he didn't kill Norman Osborn for murdering Gwen and his baby, then he should be able to let this go, too.

Then again, this is a Spidey who's so out of character these days, that he unmasks himself to the world, and thinks it's a good idea

Seriously.

Isn't he unaware that GG killed his baby?.....irregardless I agree with your sentiment....although they've (Marvel) already crossed that bridge with the killing of Morlun

 

[SpideyZERO]

Peter drew first blood...by eating his face

 

[shogunrua]

well couldn't be that the potential death of Aunt May be (as we say in french, if someone could translate it) "la goutte d'eau qui fait déborder le vase", I mean with all the bad things that happened to him in all this years, maybe Aunt May's murder would be the "too much" thing that will make him cross that line. Personnaly I don't want him to do it, but Spidey has always been a character driven by guilt, so couldn't it be interesting to see what happens when he starts to think clear again and look back at his terrible action (ie he goes in that direction)?

Personaly, I don't want Spidey to kill the Kingpin, just beat him really really baddly (that even his ancestors will feel it)

 

[Dangerous]

Looks to be an interesting month...

 

[WolfCypher]

Will Spidey kill or not kill? Interesting

Hasn't he technically killed someone already? Morlun? Twice?

EDIT: Beaten

 

[shinlyle]

It looks like a pretty good month, honestly. Spidey killing or not killing....I could care less. Eddie Brock killing or not killing....now we're talking!

Sensational loks to keep it's crown as the best Spidey title for yet another month.

I'm also looking forward to Stuart Immomen on USM....despite how much I'll miss Bagley...

 

[Dark Spidey]

I actually want Spidey to go too far and for someone to be killed. Even if it's accidentally.

I think it'd make for better drama. Seeing how Peter deals with the resulting guilt and self-loathing at what he'd done. I think it would finally be enough to make him crack.

Then "One More Day" can come along and we can sweep the whole sorry mess (that has been the Spidey-verse the past couple of years) under the rug and start afresh.

Peter Parker has killed before.
Peter Parker: Spider-Man #75.
Pete is on his way to take the bag of pumpkin bombs to Osborn's building when Norman flys by after killing Ben, when he takes the bag and slams it into Norman's chest causing all the pumpkin bombs to explode and killing Norman.
*granted, he didn't stay dead, but Pete didn't know he would return again.*

 

[Donald Thomas]

Aloha,
Spider-Man was also tricked into killing Charly in Spider-Man /Wolverine.

[kguillou]

Even though, i love how spider-man is a character who vows to never kill, i really hope he does kill kingpin. Think about it guys. Is there any other alternative for this guy? He's the Kingpin. Justice doesn't work on this guy. Even in jail he gets treated like royalty. If Spidey doesn't kill him, what other way is there to teach Kingpin a lesson once and for all?

 

[The Joker]

Isn't he unaware that GG killed his baby?.....irregardless I agree with your sentiment....although they've (Marvel) already crossed that bridge with the killing of Morlun

He doesn't know Norman killed his baby?? I didn't know that.....

Still, he should have known that his family were going to be in terrible danger once he unmasked. He made his bed, now he has to lie in it.

Killing someone just because they ran true to form is ridiculous. It's a miracle this has not happened sooner.

Accidentally is more acceptable. Intentionally is not.

 

[OcStat]

i think kingpin has screwed with daredevil more than spidey...so, if anyone gets to kill fatty, its DD.

 

[Eddie Brock]

This is why I don't read 616 anymore. Spider-Man killing? Can we get someone in there that actually KNOWS the character?

 

[Dragon]

In Marvel Knights SM#9 Gargan says Osborn killed Peter's daughter, and Peter doesn't react with any surprise. Or anger. Or anything. Great job Mr. Millar.

 

[kguillou]

But if Kingpin doesn't die, then what other way is there to teach him a lesson once and for all? Jail sure as hell isnt doing it, he's still treated like a king in there.

 

[Eddie Brock]

So what? Get someone else to kill him...that's completely out-of-character for Spider-Man...like people have already said, and like I always say:

He didn't kill the GG after GG killed Gwen.

Aunt May isn't even DEAD! She's just in a coma, so how could it possibly be justified?

 

[kguillou]

Yea but, is it really that out of character? Think about it, if you were peter right now, wouldnt you lose your mind too? Peter's been through a hell of a lot lately, and this might be his breaking point. Trust me, ANYBODY going through all of this would be in the same state of mind as Pete is now. Is it irrational? Yes. But it's perfectly understandable. If someone shot your aunt wouldnt u wanna strangle the guy who did it?

I don't know... If Pete was in a bad state of mind before Aunt May was shot, he has no one to blame but himself. He made the conscious, though bone-headed, choice to reveal himself on national TV. Yeah, Tony screwed him over, but he can blame his own naivete for that. Pete used to be distrustful of other heroes with reason; he should have been distrustful of Tony in this case, too.

There have been many other occasions in Pete's past where I'd say he'd be much more justified in killing than right now, IMO. Someone kills the love of his life (and/or his baby) and would kill again? Carnage is rampaging through the city and will kill innocents immediately unless lethal force is used? If he hasn't killed Norman Osborn or Carnage - who deserve to fry - it seems a little anti-climactic to kill anyone at this point...

 

[The Joker]

Spider-Man is not the Punisher. He doesn't believe that killing a criminal is the only way to teach them a lesson.

Accidentally is more acceptable. Intentionally is not.

Of course Peter knows that Norman killed his baby. Mac Gargan told him in MKSM #10, I believe it was.

Gargan: "You killed his son, he killed your daughter."
Peter: "I didn't kill Harry...."
Gargan: "Whatever."
