What Happened To Everyone Who Killed Spider-Man?

10. Terraxia

In the grand scheme of Marvel Comics, Texarria is an extremely minor character. However, she is one of the select few who is able to say that she killed Spider-Man.

This all-powerful rogue made her bow back during The Infinity Gauntlet, and she'd only actually appear in three issues before she herself was killed off. But during those three issues, Texarria instantly made herself a major player by a) decapitating Iron Man, and b) beating Spider-Man to death with a rock.

The shot of Spidey being killed isn't actually shown in Jim Starling and George Perez's iconic tale; instead, we readers see Texarria mounting the Wall-crawler in one panel, then Thanos smiling as we see Texarria holding a bloody rock over Peter's dead body.

When it happened, this very much was the very real death of the very real Peter Parker. Only comics being comics, this arc saw Adam Warlock and Nebula put the brakes on Thanos' scheme and reverse the universe back to its former self - as in, the deaths of Iron Man, Spider-Man and numerous others never technically happened.
