Norman Osborn captured Spider-man, he tries to beat it out of Spidey about his secret.

Norman is wise enough to use his technology... Spider-man is irradiated with special beam on the forehead, his memory is scanned and read out gradually.

Due to the current situation being captured, beaten, and humiliated by his archnemesis, Spidey's past memory of the pains, sufferings and defeats appear on the computer screens. The secret of Spider-man will be revealed shortly!

chained and crucified

Kraven the huntress start toying unmasked Spidey and throws him away to lower level.

Spider-man can't do nothing but lies helplessly under her feet.

The villainess enjoys defeating Spidey, seizing superhero by his neck, flattening his face against the floor, and kicking him off.
When Spider-man regains consciousness, with his chest and arms chained he is crucified in front of the villainess.

completely unmasked

Spider-man managed to break chains. However Kraven the huntress bears him down on the face.

She pulls his mask to expose the secret identity of Spider-man.

nearly unmasked

Jackpot takes Spider-man from behind tightly, Blue Shield approaches to unmask him.

Confronting two opponent heroes, Spidey is being unmasked helplessly.

Unmasking is also my favorite. The mask does not just hide true identity of masked superhero, the mask itself is the identity of him. Masked superhero must feel humiliation unmasked in public.

drained by tentacles

Anti-Venom spreads his fingers as tentacles to capture Spider-man. Spidey feels hard to dodge the attack without his spider-sense.

The tentacle-like fingers adhere to Spider-man's body, start draining his superpowers slowly.

The more Spidey is drained his poweres, the more Anti-Venom sucks him.

chained and hanged

Spider-man is captured by villainess. He is chained and hanged upside down from a ceiling.

Now, our hero, friendly neighborhood Spider-man is mere a trophy of huntress Kraven.

:: Spoiler warning ::

This Spider-man is not true Spidey. Kraven captures Peter's roommate who is assumed as true identity of Spider-man, and forces him to wear Spidey's costume. Then she releases him in a NYC sewer and enjoy hunting for Spider-man.

What is interesting is Kraven wants to beat Spidey in his costume. She realises that the costume itself is the proof of superhero.

getting shot and knelt down

Welcome to BAD ENDS! This is a collection of pictures of defeated helpless superheroes in comics, I can show you the pictures with a brief text including my imagination sometimes. Isn't it exciting to see the cliff-hanger situation of superheroes in peril ?

As the first post, I would like to show one of my favorite superhero, Spider-man.

Black Spidey, his powerful legs are shot by arrows, forced to knelt down in front of his foe.

"HOW STUPID ARE YOU?" is a phrase insulting hero's spirit as well as his injured body.
