Spider-Man has given audiences some iconic villains and epic big-screen battles, but there are those among the webhead’s rogues who’d never work in the movies. Adaptations tend to be tricky as writers attempt to retell classic stories in an entirely different medium without having as much time, context, and the benefit of an audience knowing who all of their characters are. As a superhero, Spider-Man encounters numerous challenges from his adversaries, but sharing a screen with them becomes an additional struggle due to convoluted retcons, disturbing backstories, and perplexing creative choices in general.After becoming one of the most successful superhero movies of all time, Spider-Man spawned multiple sequels, reboots, spinoffs, and a place within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Having featured legendary antagonists such as the Green Goblin and Dr. Octopus, to more obscure villains like the Spot, Spider-Man’s movies still provide infinite opportunities for stories as the franchise expands and his legacy continues.While spiders are creepy on their own, Carl King takes it to new disturbing heights. A school bully who harassed Peter Parker, King eats the arachnid that mutated Spider-Man with hopes of gaining superpowers. Becoming a swarm of spiders known as “The Thousand,” he moves from person to person, devouring them from the inside to assume their identities and operate their bodies like puppets. Having done a lot of convoluted and uncomfortable acts to get close to Peter Parker, it’s clear why adapting this sinister swarm wouldn’t work on the big screen.
