10 Disturbing Spider-Man Villains
2. Swarm
On its own, the humble bee is a kind creature. Unlike the sting-happy wasp, bees are more than happy to leave your skin alone, content to instead consume a small portion of your picnic and then be on its merry way. As such, Swarm earns extra disturbing moments for perverting the sanctity of the wholesome bee, much like Nicholas Cage's Wicker Man film would years later.
Swarm - also known as Fritz Von Meyer - was actually a Nazi scientist who specialised in deadly poisons and beekeeping. Having fled Germany at the end of World War II, Meyer would discover a rare type of nest that he had never seen before, and naturally decided to mess with them. After angering the hive of hyper-intelligent insects, Fritz would be swarmed by them, and just before his death his consciousness would transfer into the bees, seemingly simply to traumatise anyone reading.
Oh, and also there's a universe where this pile of bees becomes the ruler of the universe. So that's pretty messed up too.
