10 Worst Things Spider-Man Has Ever Done
2. He Sold His Marriage To Mephisto
There was never any doubt that this list would include the most infamous moment in Spider-Man history.
After things went pear-shaped during Civil War and Aunt May found herself with an extra belly button, Peter hit rock bottom. First, he nearly killed the Kingpin for sending the assassin that put his Aunt in the hospital and then he desperately began to search for a way to save her.
Unfortunately, due to the extensive damage (and the fact that she would probably turn to dust if you so much as moved her) Peter's search was fruitless as both the worlds of science and magic failed to offer a solution. To add a ridiculous cherry to this sundae, Jesus Christ himself even came down from Heaven to tell Peter that it was time to let May go.
And then Peter responded to this sage advice by making a deal with someone who is literally the Marvel version of the Devil.
Peter made a deal with Mephisto to make it so that nobody ever learned his secret identity and so Aunt May was never shot. In return, he allowed Mephisto to wipe his marriage to Mary Jane from existence.
To rub salt in the wound, Peter also got to see his daughter who would now never be born, all so that the already billion year old May Parker could keep going.
