9 Most Messed Up Things Spider-Man Has Ever Done

Yes, yes, yes, One More Day is a story that's been covered to death from every possible angle, and while we're trying not to be too repetitive here, we simply couldn't do this sort of article and not touch upon J. Michael Straczynski and Joe Quesada's 2007 tale.

To this day, the mere mention of the words One More Day will send a cold shiver down the spines of so many true believers, with it being one of the most stupid, ridiculous, and outright awful Spider-Man stories that ever made it to print.

Coming off the back of the first Civil War arc - which saw Spidey publicly unmask and reveal that he was Peter Parker - One More Day had Peter make a deal with the literal devil of the Marvel Comics realm. That devil would be Mephisto, and Parker would agree for his marriage to Mary Jane to be wiped from history in order for Mephisto to save Aunt May's life and erase the world's knowledge that Peter and Spider-Man were one and the same.

Seeing Peter and MJ opting to scrap their marriage in this way felt disrespectful to these characters, it felt like a hideous back-step to get out of a problem caused by Civil War, and it made Spider-Man seem utterly selfish.

Adding salt to the wounds, after this deal is agreed, Mephisto shows Peter and MJ the daughter that they would've had should they have stayed together in the worst "here's what you could've won!" twist ever.
