Predator Does What Spider-Man Never Could in Amazing Green Goblin Cover Art
The Predator is making their debut in Marvel Comics this July, and they're already doing what Spider-Man could never do in an amazing Green Goblin-themed cover art. The newly announced comic series featuring the infamous Predator is expected to be an interstellar adventure focusing on a young woman hunting them down. For a debut story in the Marvel Comics Universe, it's an interesting start to introduce readers to the horrifying alien. However, the Predator isn't one to let themselves go unnoticed as a series of variant covers for upcoming issues shows them infiltrating the Marvel Universe. One in particular stands out though because it shows the Predator doing what Spider-Man could never do himself.
One of the most infamous storylines in Marvel history is the death of Gwen Stacy in The Amazing Spider-Man #121-122 by Gerry Conway, Gil Kane, John Romita, and Tony Mortellaro. The arc follows Spider-Man attempting to rescue Gwen Stacy from the Green Goblin after he kidnaps her. However, when she falls, he tries to save her but ends up snapping her neck from the sudden stop, killing her. Shocked at her death, Spider-Man vows to kill the Goblin for what he's done...yet he never does kill him by his own hand. Instead, he dodges out of the way when the Goblin sends his glider to stab him, ending the final battle with him impaling himself. This was a decision made to prevent Spider-Man from becoming a killer, but the Predator has no qualms with doing this himself.
