History ComicBook / SpiderGeddon

** 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. 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.]]

* NamesTheSame: Issue #3 introduces Spiders-Man, a [[WormThatWalks colony of spiders in a Spider-Man costume]] that believes itself to be Peter Parker. Not to be confused with Spiders Man of Earth X.

Morlun and his insidious family, the Inheritors, are back. Somehow finding a way out of their hellish prison within Earth-3145, the totem-eaters are out for vengeance on the Spiders. Of course, our favorite totems aren't going to sit down and let this happen -- Peter Parker, [[ComicBook/SpiderWoman Jessica Drew]], ComicBook/MilesMorales, [[ComicBook/{{Silk}} Cindy Moon]], [[ComicBook/ScarletSpider Ben Reilly]] are forced to unite with Spiders old and new to fight against their devilish foes. Who will live? Who will die? What Spider-Man (or Woman) will show up this time?

The story started off with a five issue mini-series called ''Edge of Spider-Geddon'' and a ''Superior Octopus'' one-shot before jumping into ''Spider-Geddon #0'' and, not only the main five-issue mini-series, but three tie-in mini-series:

* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:[=SpOck=] knocks out Ben and gives him to the Inheritors in exchange for them to back off of Earth-616]]. It’s seemingly a betrayal, although this [[CapturedOnPurpose might have been part of their plan. Issue #5 reveals that this is indeed the case as Ben's corrupt soul ends up killing Jennix.]]

* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler:Verna uses Gwen's web-watch to invade Loomworld, leading Karn to step in to stop her. He's painfully reminded that since he's hooked into the Web of Life now, ''he'' is now a spider-totem that she can feed on.]]

* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler:It turns out that Solus is the only Inheritor who ''chose'' to be evil, he forcibly instilled the hunger for life force into his children and abusively raised them to be just as monstrous as he is.]]

* OrwellianRetcon: The original teaser had [[ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Ultimate]] Jessica Drew in the shot, the completed version replacing her with her mainstream counterpart.

* HonorBeforeReason: When the Superior Spider-Man and the [=PS4=] Spider-Man go to pick up "Supaidaman", Superior tells Takuya to use Sword Vigor and end the fight against the MonsterOfTheDay right then and there. He does so, but he points out that it's very dishonorable and the fight is really boring.

* ParentalSexualitySquick: [[spoiler:When ''ComicBook/RenewYourVows'' Peter and MJ exchange what they think is a LastKiss before [[TogetherInDeath they die together]], Annie announces her reintroduction by calling them out for being gross with their PDA. Mayday tells her interdimensional half-sister to cool it since she'd give anything for her mother to exchange a kiss with her Dad again, which given Peter Earth-982's survival might happen after all]].

** ''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]].

* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler:Jessica Drew is ''not'' happy when she finds out Kaine Parker purposely sabotaged his team's transport watches, leaving them stranded on the radioactive Earth.]]

** There were a bunch of Wesbite/YouTube trailers for the series and one of the characters featured was the Spider-Man from ''WesternAnimation/MarvelsSpiderMan''. Despite being recruited by Spider-Punk, he doesn't show up in the series at all.

Morlun and his insidious family, the Inheritors, are back. Somehow finding a way out of their hellish prison within Earth-3145, the totem-eaters are out for vengeance on the Spiders. Of course, our favorite totems aren't going to sit down and let this happen - Peter Parker, [[ComicBook/SpiderWoman Jessica Drew]], ComicBook/MilesMorales, [[ComicBook/{{Silk}} Cindy Moon]], [[ComicBook/ScarletSpider Ben Reilly]] are forced to unite with Spiders old and new to fight against their devilish foes. Who will live? Who will die? What Spider-Man (or Woman) will show up this time?

* AnyoneCanDie: Interestingly, not many Spiders die this time around, with only [[spoiler:Spider-Man Noir, Spider-UK and Karn]] falling.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: While the Web Warriors have every right to blame Doc Ock for giving the Inheritors the opportunity to return, he's quick to retort that if they had simply killed the Inheritors instead of [[CruelMercy marooning them to starve,]] it could have been avoided just as easily.

* BrokenPedestal: The Insomniac!Peter Parker initially views [=SpOck=] to be the ideal version of what he thought the Otto of his Universe could have been. But then he learned about [=SpOck=]'s past deeds and the more lethal side of his pragmatism. He ends up parting with Otto on more frostier terms, though he still encourages [=SpOck=] to try to be better.

* ButWhatAboutTheAstronauts: ''Spider-Force'' reveals that on the post nuclear holocaust Earth the Inheritors were imprisoned on there is a small group of astronaut survivors. They're protected by a cosmic ray empowered John Jonah Jameson Jr Spider-Man.

** [[spoiler:After Miles kills Solus, the Inheritors are on the receiving end, as Solus was the only Inheritor powerful enough to fight Captain Universe head on.]]

* EleventhHourSuperpower: In the final issue of the event, [[spoiler:Miles is empowered by the Enigma Force, letting him lay the smackdown on the Inheritors. The only one able to pose a threat to him in this state is Solus, whom Miles is careful to not let close [[CallBack after seeing what Solus did to the last Captain Universe.]]]]

* GoodCostumeSwitch: More like Anti-Hero Costume Switch, but ''Spider-Geddon #2'' sees Octavius ditch his Superior Octopus costume for his Superior Spider-Man one because it's the "war of Spiders" and his Octopus identity has some "baggage".

** In the first issue [[spoiler: Spider-Noir sacrifices himself in an attempt to take Morlun with him. [[SenselessSacrifice It doesn't work]] and Morlun feeds on his life force anyway.]]
** [[spoiler:Gwen attempts one in issue #2, buying time for the Web Warriors to escape before Ock's lab explodes. She only succeeds in giving the Inheritors her watch and the [[FromBadToWorse ability to travel between dimensions again with it.]] Thankfully she survives, but is stranded on another Earth.]]

* IAmAHumanitarian: Spiders-Man of Earth-11580 likes the idea of killing the Inheritors and wonders if it's okay to eat them afterwards. He also feels a bit of sympathy for the Inheritor trying to eat Petey, likening Petey to a nice veal (and wondering if he'll get a shot at Petey too). He later eats Karn's lifeless corpse in issue #4.
* ICantLookGesture: Doc Ock isn't nearly the sociopath that he used to be, [[spoiler: after betraying Ben Reilly to the Inheritors in a deal that'll keep them from feeding on the inhabitants of the Earth, he has to turn his head as he doesn't have the stomach to look as the Inheritors feed on Ben.]]

* {{Irony}}: Given how things turned out in ''Spider-Man [=PS4=]'', the fact that this Peter Parker is recruited into the multiverse hijinks by none other than ''Superior Spider-Man'' is something anyone who has played the former might figure will have ''severe'' potential repercussions.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The promo picture not only shows the Spiders of 616, but other Spiders such as the ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan, ComicBook/SpiderMan2099, Spinneret (the Mary Jane Watson-Parker of ''ComicBook/RenewYourVows''), ComicBook/SpiderGirl, the Spider-Man of [[VideoGame/SpiderManPS4 the Playstation 4 video game]] and even a Tsum-Tsum Spidey!

* 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 At least for now]].]]

* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Norman Osborn, the Spider-Man from issue #4 of ''Edge of Spider-Geddon'' has six arms.

** ''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]].
** Issue #5 teases [[spoiler: the resurrection of [[ComicBook/SpiderGirl Earth-982 Peter Parker]] as he is now the new ''Other.'' This mirrors Peter's own resurrection during the original [[ComicBook/JMSSpiderMan The Other]] storyline.]]

** [[spoiler: ''Superior Octopus'' #1 reveals that, whoops, Doc Ock took the Inheritors' cloning technology and recreated it from memory for his own usage. Jennix found it and is tapping into their systems. Jeez, Ock!]]
** [[spoiler: Spider-Gwen's attempt to do a TakingYouWithMe just ends up leaving her stranded in an alternate Earth and the Inheritors with her universe-hopping device.]]
** [[spoiler: Otto's decision to specifically recruit more morally scrupulous Spiders to his cause already shows signs of biting him in Issue #3. One of the Spiders, an alternate universe version of ''Norman Osborn'' is already making plans to double cross Otto, reasoning that rather than try to defeat the Inheritors, they should just leave them stranded to ravage the 616 Universe instead.]]

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: With Solus slain by Miles and the Enigma Force accepting his actions, the Spiders stick with Otto's plan. Miles tells the other Spiders to "PILE ON!!!" the surviving Inheritors and so everyone punched and kicked them to death.

* PowerCreepPowerSeep: Averted with Leopardon. At first it seems 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. [[spoiler:Leopardon's sword is ultimately used to land the killing blow on Solus when it's given to Captain Universe Miles.]]

* RealAfterAll: PlayedForLaughs. [[VideoGame/SpiderManPS4 Peter Parker Of Earth-1048]] is overjoyed to learn that [[BrickJoke Spider-Cop]] actually exists.

* RedemptionEqualsLife: [[spoiler:Ben Reilly cooperates with Otto's BatmanGambit 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.]]

** 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]].

** At the end of ''Spider-Verse'', Karn states that damage to the Web of Life could lead to the entire multiverse collapsing and wipe everyone from existence, and in ''Web Warriors'' the Web of Life being damaged causes different dimensions to bleed together. Midway through ''Spider-Geddon'', [[spoiler:Spider-Nor-Man blows the Web of Life to smithereens, but nothing bad happens aside from the characters losing the ability to jump between dimensions.]]

* SpitShake: There was no spit involved, but after Otto saves Miles's life, Miles thanks him and offers his hand promising that he'll work together in a compromise - Miles will have a team work on finding Inheritor weaknesses while Otto will have a science team work on a way to get out of Earth-616. Otto accepts and shakes on it, though he still does something underhanded that doesn't void his promise.

* ThanatosGambit: [[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.]]

** 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. Octavius comes up with third option for the others that this allows to work: reset the Inheritors to innocent children without the need or ability to absorb life energy, effectively ending their threat without killing them permanently.]]

** 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, with the focus being on Otto and Miles. ''The Spectacular Spider-Man'' tie-in explains why Peter is [[PutOnABus absent]] from the central story--Morlun tracks down and attacks 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 when Peter ''finally'' shows up. By the time he does, the climax of the story is underway and he's shocked at how much Otto and Miles have the situation handled without his assistance. Miles [[spoiler: receives an EleventhHourSuperpower and defeats the BigBad by himself]], which might be because he is the star of ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'', which premiered a few months after the story.

** There were a bunch of Youtube trailers for the series and one of the characters featured was the Spider-Man from ''WesternAnimation/MarvelsSpiderMan''. Despite being recruited by Spider-Punk, he doesn't show up in the series at all.

* VaguenessIsComing: One of the initial taglines is "Spider-Geddon [[TheEndIsNigh is nigh]]"

Morlun and his insidious family, the Inheritors, are back. Somehow finding a way out of their hellish prison within Earth-3145, the totem-eaters are back and looking for vengeance on the Spiders. Of course, our favorite totems aren't going to sit down and let this happen - Peter Parker, [[ComicBook/SpiderWoman Jessica Drew]], ComicBook/MilesMorales, [[ComicBook/{{Silk}} Cindy Moon]], [[ComicBook/ScarletSpider Ben Reilly]] are forced to unite with Spiders old and new to fight against their devilish foes. Who will live? Who will die? What Spider-Man (or Woman) will show up this time?

* AbsenteeActor: Peter Parker of Earth-616 is absent from the main ''Spider-Geddon'' storyline until the final issue, instead fighting Morlun alone back in one of his own books. Miles wants Peter to join the main group, only for Peter himself to tell him that he has to focus on Morlun. Following Morlun's defeat, Peter tries to get some sleep after being awake for so long... only for Spider-Gwen to drag him out of bed and into the final confrontation.

* AnyoneCanDie: Interestingly, not many Spiders die this time around with only [[spoiler:Spider-Man Noir, Spider-UK and Karn]] falling.
** In ''Edge of Spider-Geddon #3'', an alternate version of Peter who adventured at 13 alongside his Uncle Ben is implied to be killed at some point, as Ben drinks in a bar while looking longingly at a picture of him and Peter, who has been "gone a long time."

* ArtShift: In ''Vault of Spiders'' #1, the ''Series/SpiderManJapan'' story is done up in a manga-esque style.
* AssimilationBackfire: Otto offers Ben up the Inheritors, Jennix in particular, in a deal where they gain knowledge of how to use his technology from devouring him. Jennix ends up absorbing all the trauma from Ben's many deaths as well and goes insane, according to their plan.
* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler:At the end of the story, [=SpOck=] and Octavia reclone the Inheritors to rid themselves of their memories and their desire to hunt and kill Totems as they find out that Solus actually ''corrupted'' his children to be just like him. Spider-Ma'am ends up taking all of the babies in.]]

* BigDamnHeroes: Miles's team have screwed up their mission badly, leaving SP//DR to attempt to [[HeroicSacrifice detonate a massive bomb in 3 seconds]]. The final count didn't arrive because Otto's team smash through a wall with Leopardon, beat back the Inheritors long enough to evacuate Miles's team and escape with no casualties except some shattered armour on Leopardon.
* BlackBox: The spanner in the works for the Inheritors, they have control of Doc Ock's cloning technology but the attempt to resurrect Solus and create new cloning vats is failing. That's because Jennix doesn't understand this Doc Ock's/Ben Reilly's cloning equipment despite his scientific genius.

* BrokenPedestal: The Insomniac!Peter Parker initially views [=SpOck=] to be the ideal version of what he thought the Otto of his Universe could have been. But then he learned about [=SpOck=]'s past deeds and the more lethal side of his pragmatism. He ends up parting with Otto on more frostier terms, though he still encourages [=SpOck=] to try and thrive to be better.

** In ''Spider-Girls'', RYV Peter reveals his family have never heard of the multiverse or fought in any wars related to it. In actuality, Peter had an EarlyBirdCameo in a Slott-penned short story during ''Spider-Verse'', which revealed he did participate in the final push against the Inheritors. Mary Jane also participated in a multi-verse spanning conflict in ''Venomverse'', back when she possessed the Venom symbiote.

** 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.

* DyingRace: Humanity of the Earth that the Inheritors were imprisoned on. After nuclear war nearly wipes out the planet, the remaining humans are a small enough population to fit on a space station in stasis. Astro Spider-man's job is to scavenge for materials towards building a colony on the Moon.

* EvilDoppelganger: Spider-Punk's universe is a bit different than 616. Among the differences, the god of thunder is Eric Masters and he's a neo-nazi thug in this universe (where most others are just punk versions of their normal super-hero identities). Hobie happily breaks his arm and proclaim "No gods, no masters..."

* GeneticMemory: The Inheritors have the power to absorb the memories of the Spider-Totems they devour. Doing this to Ben Reilly means that the Inheritors can now understand his cloning technology.

** In the first issue [[spoiler: Spider-Noir sacrifices himself in an attempt to take Morlun with him. [[SenselessSacrifice it doesn't work]] and Morlun ends up feeding on his life force anyway.]]

* HopeSpot: When Morlun shows up, Peter asks Jameson to retrieve and give him the watch for dimension jumping. After a frantic search in the whole issue, he finds it and gives him in time... but Morlun destroys it before he can use it.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Subverted with Otto. In Issue #4, he derides Norman Osborn as a psychopath and criticizes him [[spoiler:for sacrificing one universe to save the multiverse, then proceeds to do the exact same thing by handing over Ben Reilly to the Inheritors in exchange for the Inheritors leaving the Spider Army alone. Then it turns out it was all a plan to trick the inheritors and Ben himself agreed to it -- they didn't tell the other Spiders because they knew the others would think it too risky.]]

* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Solus is finally killed off for good by the Enigma Force empowering Leopardon's Sword Vigor attack, having killed Captain Universe Spider-Man and temporarily destroyed Leopardon respectively in his last outing.]]

* LeeroyJenkins: Morlun is one, and Peter hammers it into his head when he's finally gotten the upper hand on the Inheritor. Despite Morlun's superior strength and abilities, his plans to kill Peter never amount to anything more than "hunt the spider and eat him" with no forethought or strategy whatsoever. He even reminds himself ''not'' to overthink his own actions like Peter, [[SmugSuper as it "distracts" him from what he was made to do]].

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: With Solus slain by Miles and the Enigma Force accepting his actions, the Spiders stuck with Otto's plan. Miles told the other Spiders to "PILE ON!!!" the surviving Inheritors and so everyone punched and kicked them to death.

** A version of John Jameson (the younger one) of the irradiated world the Inheritors were imprisoned on, who goes back and forth between Earth and a space station of survivors for supplies.

* ParentalSexualitySquick: [[spoiler:When RYV Peter and MJ exchange what they think is a LastKiss before [[TogetherInDeath they die together]], Annie announces her reintroduction by calling them out for being gross in the PDA. Mayday tells her interdimensional half-sister to cool it since she'd give anything for her mother to exchange a kiss with her Dad again, which given Peter Earth-982's survival might happen after all]].

* 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. [[spoiler:Leopardon's sword is ultimately used to land the killing blow on Solus when its lent to Captain Universe Miles.]]
* ProphecyTwist: In ''Spider-Girls'' #3, Anya, Mayday and Annie learn that there was actually a fourth person that's heavily connected to the Web of Life and Destiny, the Pattern Maker. [[spoiler:Annie ends up being this, an extension to her oddly-defined Spider-Powers.]]
* RaiseHimRightThisTime: [[spoiler:The Inheritors sans Solus's ultimate fate: after Captain Universe Miles kills Solus for good 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.]]

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Peter gives one towards Morlun.

* {{Revenge}}: All the Inheritors for what happened during ComicBook/SpiderVerse, but Morlun in particular abstains from the "conquer the multiverse" scheme the rest are planning and goes straight for 616-Peter Parker for beating him not once, but ''thrice''.

* 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.]]

** [=PS4=] Spidey is enraged with [=SpOck=] when he discovers [[spoiler:he apparently sold out Ben Reilly to the Inheritors make them leave Earth-616 alone. Even when it's revealed to be a ThanatosGambit by the two of them, Peter's still disappointed in Otto for using Ben's murder to get an advantage.]]

** 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. Miles in particular [[spoiler: receives an EleventhHourSuperpower and defeats the BigBad by himself]], which might be because he is the star of ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'', which premiered a few months after the story.
** Spider-Man 2099 does not make an appearance in the story at all until the final issue, despite also being on the front cover and having a large role in the preceding event. Even still, he has no speaking role and his presence is merely as reinforcements. And even more confusingly, he's lined up with the other 616 Spiders after everyone else has left, even though his most recent comics run [[ContinuitySnarl ended with his being back in 2099]] [[spoiler:and [[LeftHanging seemingly being killed]].]]

* WoundedHeroWeakerHelper: After getting the crap beaten out of him by Morlun, Peter could barely walk so J. Jonah Jameson comes and hauls him along. Jameson later calls in a S.W.A.T. team to help keep Morlun off of Spider-Man.

* FullyAbsorbedFinale: The ''Spider-Girls'' mini-series serves as a denouncement for ''ComicBook/RenewYourVows'', with that comic's writer also serving as the writer for the mini-series.

In addition, ''Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man'' and ''ComicBook/SpiderGwen: Ghost Spider'' had short story arcs connected to the event. Peter's plotline has him isolated from the others and forced to take down a vengeful Morlun on his own in New York, while Gwen finds herself thrown out of the main fight early on and stuck on another parallel Earth, having to help the Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson of that dimension in order to return to Earth-616. Finally, the event will also lead to a relaunch of the ''ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan'' title.

** [=PS4=] Spidey is enraged with [=SpOck=] when he discovers [[spoiler:he apparently sold out Ben Reilly to the Inheritors make them leave Earth-616 alone. Even when it's revealed to be a XanatosGambit by the two of them, Peter's still disappointed in Otto for using Ben's murder to get an advantage.]]

* XanatosGambit: [[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.]]

* HeelFaceTurn: Otto has been [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor straddling the line]] of AntiHero and AntiVillain ever since the ''ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan'' run. The start of this event started off with Otto playing the TokenEvilTeammate role much like he did in ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse'' but after reaching a compromise with Miles, he seems to have finally settled on the more heroic side. By events end he's even made peace with both Miles ''and'' Peter.

* IAmAHumanitarian: Spiders-Man of Earth-11580 likes the idea of killing the Inheritors and wonders if it's okay to eat them afterwards. He also feels a bit of sympathy for the Inheritor trying to eat Petey, likening Petey to a nice veal (and wondering if he'll get a shot at Petey too).

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The promo picture not only shows the Spiders of 616, but other Spiders such as the ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan (no clue if this is an AU [=SpOck=] or if the main Doc Ock will return to this identity), ComicBook/SpiderMan2099, Spinneret (the Mary Jane Watson-Parker of ''ComicBook/RenewYourVows''), ComicBook/SpiderGirl, the Spider-Man of [[VideoGame/SpiderManPS4 the Playstation 4 video game]] and even a Tsum-Tsum Spidey!

* FightOffTheKryptonite: When they fought the twins, Anya and May got their hands on a Green Goblin battlemech and blasted the pair with a radiation cannon. The twins just shrug it off saying, it's nothing compared to the radiation they've had to face every day on their nuked Earth prison.

** Issue #5 ultimately sees [[spoiler: Miles breaking from this for the sake of the greater good.
