As it could not be otherwise, the absolute protagonist of the origin of Spider-Man He is Peter Parker himself, but none of his adventures would exist if it weren't for that radioactive spider that bit him. The arachnid bit the student at Hightown High School in New York to completely disappear from our sight for decades.
Marvel did not bother to look at the animal again – beyond Michael Straczynski's comics – until the early 2000s, when it went on sale Spider-Man’s Tangled Web #1. That collection dedicated to the wall-crawler introduced us to Carl King, a man who had not exactly been Peter's friend during his time at school, since he was part of the group of classmates who bullied him.

In Extra Life Overcoming the impossible challenge of Kingdom Hearts has brought back childhood traumas, but I discovered a saving trick
Garth Ennis and John McCrea showed a character absolutely enraged against Spider-Man, although specifically against Parker for having obtained his magnificent powers. That this person knew the secret identity of the superhero already posed a major conflict and it increases even more when he demonstrates his willingness to go to great lengths to impersonate the hero.
How far? Well, revealing that in reality his own being is made up of a herd of spiders controlled by his consciousness and that are capable of devouring the inside of anyone. That is why she manages to pose as a colleague from Peter's Daily Bugle, enter his apartment with him and attack him to reveal the harsh truth.
Carl King mercilessly abused Peter, asking him to do his homework and tormenting him with comments that his suffering would never end. On the famous day when Parker gained his abilities, King saw it all, following the boy and watching in amazement as he climbed walls. In addition, shortly after Spider-Man appeared in New York, achieving a large amount of fame, which began to generate a gigantic envy inside the bully.
Seeking to replicate the effect, he returned to the laboratory and found the spider, but instead of being bitten, King put it in his mouth to eat it. The result took a couple of days to arrive and was terrifying: Carl devoured his parents and maintained that routine with a dozen people a year – including his girlfriend -, which increased his power. In this way he called himself “the Thousand”, in reference to the enormous number of spiders that made up his existence.
However, despite feeling prepared to face Spider-Man, he simply could not defeat him. The net-slinger suffered serious injuries and was even unconscious, but finally A brutal electric shock completely destroyed the Thousand. Peter returned to Aunt May, knowing that his past fears were over, but McCrea and Ennis showed one last live spider. She was the only one left alive and could have amassed more of her companions, which did not come to fruition because of a person who stepped on her without even noticing her.
