>>101343299>the friendly neighborhood routine hasn't done him any favors with anyone but ShockerRemember when Sandman redeemed himself and went straight because of Spider-Man's example and advice? Remember when he was working for Silver Sable? Remember when he was on the Avengers?
Remember when Rhino quit the villain business because he met up with a woman who accepted him despite looking like Andre the Giant fucked a sandpaper tractor, and just shrugged when a new Rhino took the mantle?
Remember when Stromm, Norman's cyborg fuckbuddy extraordinaire, turned over a new leaf and went into witness protection because Spider-Man spared his life and put him into a coma instead of blowing him up to save the city?
Remember when Will O' Wisp fought off his programming and left revenge behind because of Spider-Man's advice, going straight as a professional bodyguard?
Remember when Hobie Brown stopped being a jackass fake hero because Spider-Man didn't turn him into the cops and gave him a second chance?
Remember when Kraven came to terms - albeit lethally - with his obsession with Spider-Man, and finally found peace? Remember when Aloysha, Kraven's son, buried the hatchet with Spider-Man after getting to the bottom of his dad's death, and went off to make a career in Hollywood?
All these characters are now either dead or supervillains again. "Thou shalt not kill" only looks dumb because the capeshit format MAKES it dumb.
