10 Most Evil Versions Of Spider-Man
6. Spider-Carnage - Spider-Man: The Animated Series
Diving into FOX's stunning Spider-Man: The Animated Series of the '90s, that iconic show offered up one of the most deranged versions of Peter Parker seen in any medium.
While this series brilliantly showcased classic rogues such as Doctor Octopus, Green Goblin, Kingpin, Hobgoblin and, of course, Venom and Carnage, it also offered up a skewed Spider-Carnage rogue towards the end of the show's final season.
As is ever the case when talking about Spider-Man and the 1990s, clones were the hot topic of the day. In STAS' two-part Spider-Wars offering, so powerful was Spider-Carnage, it required a whole slew of Spider-Men to attempt to bring him down.
Featuring Spideys from various dimensions - all brought together by the Beyonder - this story's 'big bad' is a Peter who not only lost Uncle Ben, but lost Aunt May, too. Emotionally broken and unhinged as a result, the vulnerable, erratic Parker proves to be the perfect host for the Carnage symbiote.
With a plan concocted around the premise of 'I've lost what's closest to me, so you'll lose what's closest to you', Spider-Carnage unleashes a scheme to generate an interdimensional hole that will destroy all reality. Cementing further how much of a wrong 'un he is, the rogue even has Kingpin, Green Goblin, Hobgoblin and Alistair Smythe working under him.
It was be revealed that Spider-Carnage was actually a Miles Warren-created clone - something which further pushed this Peter over the edge - and it took a pep talk from an otherworldly Uncle Ben to finally convince the villain to cease his plan, with the rogue sacrificing himself for the greater good.
