Peter Parker Death Mourned by Fans, Spider-Man Killed by Doctor Octopus

Peter Parker is dead. The guy who becomes Spider-Man was killed by his greatest arch nemesis Doctor Octopus (Doc Ock) in the controversial 700th issue of 'Amazing Spider-Man' released this week.

Spider-Man died Wednesday, December 26, 2012 as the latest issue of the comic book hit the stores. Fans were shocked about the latest twist in the story of Peter Parker, mourning the death of one of the well-loved superheroes.

With the death of Spidey, Marvel writer Dan Slott has been getting death threats, according to reports. However, the writer said that Peter Parker's death and the culmination of his battle as Spider-Man will be an epic turn in the storyline.

Peter Parker as the Amazing Spider-Man might succumb to Doc Ock aka Otto Octavius in a battle but the legacy of Spider-Man will continue. Parker's mind is trapped in the withered, decaying dying body of his nemesis, Doctor Octopus.

Apparently, the villain Doc Ock takes on a new life of fulfilling the mission of Spider-Man, realizing that with great power comes great responsibility. Peter Parker is gone for good in the Amazing Spider-Man final issue but his life has inspired Doc in becoming a hero.

“Gone are his days of villainy, but since it’s Doc Ock and he has that ego, he’s not going to try and just be Spider-man, he’s going to try to be the best Spider-Man ever,” writer Dan Slott said.

Now, fans will surely bid goodbye to Peter Parker, the geeky teenager we all loved as the Amazing Spider-Man. Nevertheless, the superhero adventure continues.

One of the world’s most popular characters is back on the big screen as a new chapter in the Spider-Man legacy is revealed in The Amazing Spider-Man. Focusing on an untold story that tells a different side of the Peter Parker story, the new film stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, with Martin Sheen and Sally Field.

The film is directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay written by James Vanderbilt, based on the Marvel Comic Book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. Laura Ziskin, Avi Arad, and Matt Tolmach are producing the film in association with Marvel Entertainment for Columbia.

The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents’ disappearance – leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Ifans), his father’s former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors’ alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.

Opening across the Philippines in IMAX 3D, Digital 3D and regular theatres, “The Amazing Spider-Man” is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.
