9 Famous Spider-Man Comic Book Moments That Will Never Happen In The Movies

1. Sins Past

For those who have successfully blocked this universally reviled comic book arc out of their minds, €œSins Past€ crassly defiles the reputation of Peter€™'s deceased former girlfriend, Gwen Stacy, by retconning an affair between her and Spidey€™'s greatest villain, Norman Osborn, aka the Green Goblin. As if Osborn€™'s creepy €œO€ face isn'€™t bad enough, the storyline also introduces the world to the regrettable notion of Gwen and Norman'€™s demon spawn €“twins named Gabriel and Sarah.

The twins are fueled by Norman€™'s Goblin Serum (in more ways than one), and set out to destroy Peter/Spider-Man under the belief that he is their real father. Considering how charismatic and terrific Emma Stone is as Gwen Stacy in Marc Webb€™'s The Amazing Spider-Man, imagine just how shocked and disgusted moviegoers would be if she was seen shacking up with Chris Cooper€™'s Norman in a future film. And that'€™s ignoring the fact that Marvel is so clearly embarrassed by €œSins Past€ that nary a reference to the storyline has been made in the comics since it was first published in 2004.

Either way, there€™'s no way €œSins Past€ will ever find its way onto the big screen.
