10 Most Evil Versions Of Spider-Man

1. The Flesh-Eater - Marvel Zombies

The obvious caveat here, of course, is that by its very definition, the Marvel Zombies world is one full of flesh-craving, zombified versions of your favourite superheroes and supervillains. Still, it's impossible to look at sinister versions of Spider-Man and not include the Marvel Zombies' take on the Wall-crawler on this list.

Officially existing in the realm of Earth-2149, Peter Parker was doing the regular Peter Parker things before a virus ravaged the planet. From what's known about this Peter pre-pandemic, he lived with Aunt May, Uncle Ben was dead, Mary Jane was his 'one true', and Parker was swinging around the streets of Queens, New York. Then, an infected Colonel America bit Spidey and threw ol' Web-head's world upside down.

Despite doing his best to resist the urges to feast on human flesh, Spider-Man eventually gives in... and takes a bite out of Mary Jane!

MJ was merely a starter here, though, for Peter would then start to eat Aunt May. The term "start" is used here, as the now-zombified Mary Jane shuffles into the scene and wants to try some of that tasty May Meat for herself. So, Spider-Man 'properly' kills MJ so that he can keep Aunt May's bones and flesh for himself.

As the Marvel Zombies books expanded over the years, we've seen the undead Spidey lose limbs, witnessed him devour the Aunt May and Mary Jane of other worlds, and even literally tear off his own skin.
