Amazing Spider-Man #14

(Basically the red crystal holds the essence of Morlun's father)



Spider-Man brings him to "Uncle Ben"'s dimension which is filled with radiation which is toxic to Morlun and co. Morlun says that this will kill him, and Spider-Man tells him to go to the bomb shelter. It will keep him alive, but barely.

I don't think it would work with the character to have the Spider-People just executing the Inheritors, so the climax would have to be changed significantly, but I do kinda agree with you, and the very Slott specific "no one dies" idea has never worked for me.

I thought it was very in character to have Miguel be the one second-guessing letting the Inheritors live.

Yeah, I'm not arguing for the Spiders to execute the Inheritors, because so many of them are inherently decent people and/or Peter Parker variants who don't do that sort of thing.

Although Otto aside, there are plenty of Spiders who'd probably be more expedient under the circumstances:

But certainly there could have been a better way to handle it. Because honestly, I don't want to see Morlun and the Inheritors again. They're a concept which has been played out and played out thoroughly.

And why spiders? Why, of all creatures, is that the totem that seems to resonate the most? I just wonder...
