"To all visitors from Transylvania looking for the head of Voivode Dracula: Yes, we have it. Yes, he's dead. No, you cannot see it. No, he will not return and invade you again. It has been over thirty years, please stop pestering us."
well Spidey has had to contend with countless deaths throughout his life. It was even a death that started off him becoming spidey......
Wolvie is an obvious choice. He has had sooooo much pain, he has been abused and twisted by the weapon x program. His childhood was shambles with several of his closest relatives dying, committing suicide or turning against him.....
And Daredevil has had to contend with the loss of many of his loves, recently his best friend. He was tragically blinded at a young age...........
Spider-Man, Emotional Trauma: (not in chronological order)
Both parents dead
Indirectly responsible for his Uncle's death
Indirectly responsible for his girlfriends death (Gwen)
His best friend became his worst enemy... then died (Harry)
He gets cloned and doesn't know whether or not he's a "real" person
He (falsely) finds out he is a clone, which leads him to hit his pregnant wife and goes into a fit of depression
He and Mary Jane have a stillborn child
Aunt May dies (really... Amazing SM #400 ... I think) .... later to be retconned back to life
His parents seemingly come from the dead with the story of being held as prisoners in some other country (apparently his parents were spies)
He gets arrested and jailed for murder (that Kaine committed)
His parents are revealed as being simulacrum (androids of a sort) that are programmed to kill him
The Green Goblin comes back from the "dead" to terrorise Peter Parker for months on end
His clone (Ben Reilly) eventually becomes his best friend/brother... then later is killed by the Green Goblin
Spider-Man loses a fight to the Rhino (major humiliation ... )
Aunt May has a heart attack (on about 7 different occasions)
Mary Jane is "killed" in an aeroplane explosion (brought back a year later and revealed as a psycho stalkers plot to kidnap her)
Mary Jane leaves Peter (after the plane thing)
Peter loses his son and Gwen again - from the House of M story line
He is physically controlled by the Jackal to murder his own wife, begs the New Warriors to kill him but is stopped by the Scarlet Spider & Mary Jane herself
Accidentally kills a woman during a fight with Wolverine
Is tormented his entire life by other kids until he receives spider powers
He finds out Gwen had 2 children with Norman Osborn (Green Goblin)
Turns into a "Man-Spider"
Aunt May is kidnapped (supposedly... MK Spider-Man #1)
Constantly harassed by the press and treated as a menace by the public
His friend (Flash Thompson) is crippled by the Green Goblin just to further terrorise Peter
That's obviously not everything (40 years is a long time)
Lost his father
Abandoned by his mother
Two ex-girlfriends that he loved die because of his alter ago
Thought he had HIV
Had his gf dying thinking she was HIV positive and had infected him
Had a nervous breakdown
Had his wife leave him
Outted in the tabloids
Beat up and thrown into the street in his costume w/o his mask Arrested and thrown into jail
Thought for a while his best friend was dead

Losing to Rhino's the worst of them all....
But seriously all the bad ones involve green goblin.

Venom stalking him and his family.

Mainly because the Goblin knew who he was a long time before he went public and used his considerable resources just to f**k up Pete's life... he's even the one that faked Aunt May's death.... and may have been responsible for the baby being stillborn
I didn't mention the Morlun beating because I was really only listing emotional stuff rather than physical
Seriously... the Goblin is totally underrated on KMC as far as psychotic villains go
P.S...... the clone saga..... the Goblin was behind the whole thing
What about bad things have happened regular to Spider-Man since his creation and its hindered the idea of him being a tragic character?
Nothing ever goes right in his life...it's old and dry now. The sheer volume of tragic events is only a sign of poor writing. Its always one thing after another and I'm tired of seeing it.
