The Killing Joke Batman Batgirl
Marvel Comics

Gwen Stacy's death at the hands of the Green Goblin is one of the most striking and memorable events in all of comics history.

Two of the last three Spider-Man series have replicated her death, with the third almost definitely just saving it for the third movie. It was because she was Spider-Man's girlfriend, his almost fiance, that Green Goblin killed her... or was it?

Because turns out, plot twist, Gwen Stacy and the Green Goblin were totally getting it on. Yeah, when Stacy left Peter at college, which she does shortly before returning and biting the big one, turns out she was heading abroad to get nasty with Green Goblin.

The two of them even had kids - children who gained superpowers, like their father, and tried to kill Spider-Man. That's how he found out about this most horrifying of relationships.
