10 Dumbest Ways Superheroes Have Died

10. The Spider-Birth

There are few moments in the entire Spider-Man franchise more genuinely horrific than when Peter Parker - having being bitten by the villain known as The Queen, and unknowingly injected with a mysterious toxin - promptly dies by birthing an actual spider Spider-Man.

It's literally the plot of endless body horror stories, and the slow pacing of Peter slowly succumbing to the strange spider-poison is as strange as it is gross, while also managing to be maybe the dumbest way that Peter Parker has died yet - and if you count alternate universes, that's including an unearthly amount of deaths.

The seeming sole purpose of having Peter do this bizarre death-reincarnation cycle appears to be for the simple freak-out factor of witnessing someone progressively transform into a spider. And in that regard, we have to admit - it does the job all too well.
