This older Spider-Man was introduced in J. Michael Straczynski, John Romita Jr. and John Heck's Amazing Spider-Man #58, shown to Peter as a vision by Madame Webb. In this vision, Peter killed Kraven the Hunter to avenge the murders of Mattie Franklin and his clone Kaine. This choice drastically changes Peter's path as he becomes a darker and more violent anti-hero version of himself. Peter is ultimately kicked out of the Avengers, hurting his loved ones in the process. This prompted Peter to adopt a new costume and give in to his more brutal side, later killing Doc Ock by driving a tentacle through his heart. Earth-616 Peter later witnesses the older Peter visiting Aunt May's grave while he is on the run from the NYPD. In J. Michael Straczynski, John Romita Jr. and John Romita Sr.'s Amazing Spider-Man #500, the NYPD surrounded the elder Peter as the younger version watched from afar behind Aunt May's gravestone. The NYPD gave him the choice to surrender and admit to his crimes. However, the elder Peter refused, stating he "has to do this" and was gunned down during his fight with the NYPD while the younger Peter witnessed the entire thing.
