10 Most Inappropriate Spider-Man Storylines

7. Spider-Man Beats Up A Child - Superior Spider-Man #3

The entire of the Superior Spider-Man series is all kinds of shades of messed up - after all, it's about Otto Octavius stealing Spider-Man's body and pretending to be him.

Of this assorted madness, there are a couple scenes that stand out in particular, such as the kind of shocking moment where Spider-Man's enemy the Vulture decides to get a series of kids to attack the hero, resulting in the web-slinger knocking one of them unconscious in a pretty brutal hit.

Sure, it later appears as though the kids are willing minions of the Vulture - as it's suggested he pays them in arcade tokens - but that doesn't change the fact that the Vulture essentially decided to use child labour in order to use a series of infants as a human shield, which is one of the most messed up villain plans of all time.

I like my comics like I like my coffee - in huge, unquestionably unhealthy doses.
