10 Times The Avengers Ruined Peter Parker’s Life

6. Asking Him To Get Beat Up (By The Hulk) - Amazing Spider-Man Annual #3

As far as good plans go, the Avenger's decision to send Peter Parker to retrieve a missing Hulk is at the absolute bottom of the list. While the team tell Spidey that he just needs to lead the beast back to their base, they totally fail to recognise that this would involve Spider-Man leading the green creature into the path of innocent civilians, meaning that the hero is more or less cursed to try and defeat the titan before web-slinging him back to his old team.

But when Spider-man encounters the Hulk, he is instead left upset at how the Avengers have treated a creature who clearly needs help and is not in a sound frame of mind. Powered by this, he returns to the Avengers and lies, saying he simply couldn't find a giant neon green giant that his spidey senses would definitely lead him straight to.

It's revealed at the very end of the comic that the Avengers were seeking the Hulk to try and help him, which makes it seem all the stranger that they literally never mention this to Peter - or recognise that sending him solo to possibly die at the hands of a raging Hulk really isn't cool.

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