10 Most Inappropriate Spider-Man Storylines

10. Peter Gets His Eye Ripped Out And Eaten - Spider-Man: The Other

If you listed out every expectation that fans had when going into Spider-Man: The Other, the idea of Peter Parker having his eye ripped violently from its socket and then eaten by the person who was fighting him was likely pretty damn low down on the list.

And for good reason, too. While gore isn't exactly forbidden in comics, Spider-Man generally veers away from particularly gross moments in the main continuity, which makes it more than slightly surreal that it happens in the first place.

Also, crucially, the timing of this moment really takes away from the life-threatening fight that Morlun and Spider-Man are locked in, as the minute it happens your attention goes from who will win to how gross it is that Morlun just ate the web-slinger's still warm retina.

Hilariously, while this kind of gross moment would be incredibly well-remembered among fans for any other hero, the amount of scrapes that Spider-Man gets into means that this eye-eating extravaganza has left many unaware it ever happened.
