If Marvel fans have come to know one thing about everyone's favourite wall-crawler over the years, it's that Spider-Man will always find a way to conquer even the most unassailable of foes.

Yet, in one rather surreal case, Peter Parker did actually call it a day, and hung up the iconic spandex for good.

Spider-Man: The New Animated Series (also known as MTV Spider-Man) was largely well received upon swinging onto TV screens, with Neil Patrick Harris' vocal work as Parker and the darker overall tone of the series being praised from the off.

However, MTV sadly didn't feel the show fit in with the rest of their programming, eventually deciding to hook it after the season one cliffhanger.

Spidey's dramatic decision to leave his life of crime fighting behind came after feeling guilt for Indira "Indy" Daimonji's injuries, post-clash with The Gaines Twins. This clash became the closing takeaway from the series as a whole, meaning The Gaines Twins actually won as the dust settled, with Parker's suit and life as a superhero sitting somewhere at the bottom of the harbour in a briefcase packed with bricks.

What a bummer.
