History ComicBook / SpiderGeddon

* {{Hypocrite}}: In Issue #4, Otto derides Norman Osborn as a psychopath and criticizes him [[spoiler:for sacrificing one universe to save the multiverse... before proceeding to do the exact same thing by handing over Ben Reilly to the Inheritors]].

* TheMagicGoesAway: [[spoiler:At the end of the story, the damage from the Web of Life's severance means that no one can universe hop anymore outside of Ghost-Spider.]]

* SequelHook: [[spoiler:Issue #5 ends with the [=MC2=] Peter Parker resurrecting as the Other and Norman Osborn studying a part of the Web of Life.]]

* TheMagicGoesAway: [[spoiler:At the end of the story, the damage from the Web of Life's severance means that no one can universe hop anymore outside of Ghost-Spider.

* PowerCreepPowerSeep: Averted with Leopardon. At first, it seems that the machine suffered a case of BagOfSpilling concerning its radioactive weaponry, especially as the Inheritors dogpile it and damage it. However, in issue #5, Daemos confirms that it still has said weaponry and they're making sure it doesn't get to use it.

* BatmanGambit: [[spoiler: [=SpOck=] betraying Ben Reilly to the Inheritors was a bid by the pair to disable Jennix. While eating Ben's soul gives Jennix the knowledge of how to use his cloning machines, it also hits him with Ben's memories of being systematically killed and resurrected 27 times and sends him into frenzied panic making it useless. Ben is resurrected with his cloning machines soon afterward.]]

* PowerCreepPowerSeep: Last time, Leopardon had been upgraded with future tech, steam tech and radioactive weaponry. This meant the robot curb-stomped the Inheritors just by being close to them. This time, [[BagOfSpilling it's back to its old self]] and the Inheritors tore up a good chunk of it when Otto's team rescued Miles's squad.

* {{Retcon}}: ComicBook/MilesMorales is said to be the version from Earth-616, despite that version being the one seen in ''Spider-Men II'', and this being the Earth-1610 version.

* SeriesContinuityError: When Ock recruits Kaine for his team, Kaine of all people stands up for Ben Reilly... which seems to ignore how ''Ben Reilly: The Scarlet Spider'' ended, with [[spoiler: Ben returning to villainy and attempting to murder Kaine with his girlfriend's hook hand]].

** Despite being front and center in a lot of the marketing and covers for the event, writer Christos Gage mentioned during NY Comic Con that Peter Parker's role would actually be minimal in the event, with the focus actually being on Otto and Miles. In fact, the Spectacular Spider-Man tie-in actually explains why Peter is going to be [[PutOnABus absent]] from the central story; Morlun tracks down and isolates Peter in New York while the rest of the Spiders are fighting the Inheritors in San Francisco. This gets a LampshadeHanging in the final issue, Issue #5 when Peter ''finally'' does show up. By the time he does, the Climax of the story is already underway and he's shocked at how much Otto and Miles already had the situation handled without his assistance.

* BackFromTheDead: By the end of the story, [[spoiler:Annie's role as the Patternmaker is brought up and]] the roles from ''Spider-Verse'' are mentioned to be constants, even when the Web of Life is destroyed. Mayday notes that her brother Benjy is probably still the Scion and Silk is still the Bride, but the Other remains dead. Annie tells her that there's always an Other, too. [[spoiler:Cue a cocoon-wrapped hand bursting up from beneath [[ComicBook/MarvelComics2 [=MC2=]]] Peter Parker's grave.]]

** In ''Spider-Verse'', [[spoiler:Karn's future self was killed by Superior Spider-Man; but in Spider-Geddon his present self is killed by Verna -- with it being unclear if and how this affects the events of Spider-Verse.]]
** [[spoiler: Further muddying the waters is his body being eaten by Spiders-Man and Loomworld being destroyed by Norman Osborn, likely with any remains of his body with it.]]

** [[spoiler:Annie uses her abilities as the Patternmaker and the remaining strands of the Web of Life to craft herself, Anya, and Mayday suits of magically-PoweredArmor to give them an edge.]]

* CurbStompBattle: Almost the entire issue of the ''Peter Parker: Spectacular Spider-Man'' tie-in In Morlun dishing this out to Peter, angered by having been defeated by Spider-Man of Earth-616 numerous times.

* OhCrap: When Verna attempts to consume Spider-Gwen and is promptly attacked by her symbiote's CombatTentacles, she quickly retreats -- indicating that symbiotes and their hosts are inedible to the Inheritors.

* RaiseHimRightThisTime: [[spoiler:The Inheritors sans Solus's ultimate fate: after Captain Universe Miles kills Solus with an Enigma Force powered Sword Vigor, the rest are transferred into custom made cloned bodies with their memories erased and their ability and need to absorb life force genetically removed, then given to Spider Ma'am to raise.]]

** Issue #5 ultimately sees [[spoiler: Miles breaking from this for the sake of the greater good. Being empowered by the Enigma Force, Miles ends up killing Solus to break his influence that he has on the other Inheritors.]]

* BackFromTheDead: By the end of the story, [[spoiler:Annie's role as the Patternmaker is brought up and]] the roles from ''Spider-Verse'' are mentioned to be constants, even when the Web of Life is destroyed. Mayday notes that her brother Benjy is probably still the Scion and Silk is still the Bride, but the Other remains dead. Annie tells her that there's always an Other, too. [[spoiler:Cue a cocoon-wrapped hand bursting up from beneath [[ComicBook/MarvelComicsTwo [=MC2=]]] Peter Parker's grave.]]

** In ''Edge of Spider-Geddon #3'', an alternate version of Peter who adventured at 13 alongside his Uncle Ben is implied to be killed during the event, as Ben drinks in a bar while looking longingly at a picture of him and Peter, who has been "gone a long time."

* KillTheCutie: The 13-year-old Peter from ''Edge of Spider-Geddon #3'' is chipper, eager to help people, and a fun-loving prankster. He's also heavily implied to have been killed during the event.

* RedemptionEqualsLife: [[spoiler: Ben Reilly cooperates with Otto's BatmanGabit in order to lure the Inheritors into a trap. This gambit involved Ben sacrificing himself. Otto ends up restoring Ben, only this time back to his original, Pre-Jackal, self.]]

* TimeyWimeyBall: In ''Spider-Verse'', [[spoiler:Karn's future self was killed by Superior Spider-Man; but in Spider-Geddon his present self is killed by Verna -- with it being unclear if and how this affects the events of Spider-Verse.]]

* AbusiveParents: Octavia discovers after going through the Inheritor's genetic code that while Solus became a soul-devouring vampire by choice, he forcibly instilled his hunger for life force into his children to ensure they would become monsters like him.

* BackFromTheDead: By the end of the story, [[spoiler:Annie's role as the Patternmaker is brought up and]] the roles from ''Spider-Verse'' are mentioned to be constants, even when the Web of Life is destroyed. Mayday notes that her brother Benjy is probably still the Scion and Silk is still the Bride, but the Other remains dead. Annie tells her that there's always an Other, too. [[spoiler:Cue a cocoon-wrapped hand bursting up from beneath [[ComicBook/MarvelComicsTwo Earth-982]] Peter Parker's grave.]]

* SequelHook: [[spoiler:Issue #5 ends with the MC2 Peter Parker resurrecting as the Other and Norman Osborn studying a part of the Web of Life.]]

[[spoiler:Cue a cocoon-wrapped hand bursting up from beneath Earth-982 Peter Parker's grave.]]

* ThouShaltNotKill: The big problem with the Spiders this time around. As Octavius points out, they should have killed the Inheritors when they had them at their weakest. While some Spiders agree with Octavius, others still hew towards Peter's decision to let them live.

[[spoiler:Cue a cocoon-wrapped hand bursting up from beneath [[Earth-982]] Peter Parker's grave.]]

* MythologyGag: ''Spectacular'' #313 is similar to ''Amazing'' vol 2. #35 with Spidey taking down Morlun through chemicals he made - in this case, quadruple strength tranquilizers - before the monster is put down by being shot at, then having a female character crash his room after he exhaustedly returns from battle. There's also a nod to ''ComicBook/SpiderManTheOther'' when [[EyeScream Peter jams a tranq dart into Morlun's left eye]].
