10 Times Superheroes Became Public Enemy Number One

Though J. Jonah Jameson has made a fair play of trying to make Spider-Man out to be a villain, he generally fails to do so, as despite playing a mean game with media, most of the people of New York are aware the web-slinger has saved their bacon more times than they've had hot dinners.

Hilariously, it's actually a series of different news sites that manage to ruin Parker's life in Chip Zdarsky's Spectacular Spider-Man series, which sees a picture of Peter and his sister spread like wildfire across the internet. This would be all well and good in any normal scenario, but unfortunately said sister is reported as having stolen government secrets about how to kill superheroes, which makes Spider-Man hanging out with her look undeniably suspicious.

Or, at least, suspicious enough that secret agents are dispatched to capture the arachnid wonder, leaving Spider-Man stuck trying to redeem himself without outing his secret identity. Mercifully, it's later revealed that said secret agents are actually rogue operatives, meaning that Peter himself is safe from the cold clutches of the law - even if a bunch of people were left thinking he's some kind of war criminal.
