"Spider-Verse" is a 2014 comic book storyline published by Marvel Comics. According to Marvel, the storyline features every Spider-Man that has appeared in any media, all under attack by Morlun and his family, the Inheritors.
Beginning in August 2014, the event was preceded by two new issues of the cancelled Superior Spider-Man, issues of Spider-Man 2099 and a five issue run of one shots-all under the Edge of Spider-Verse banner.
Following the conclusion of the event in Amazing Spider-Man #14, some of the eponymous characters were featured in titles of their own including Silk of Earth-616 and Spider-Gwen, the Spider-Woman of Earth-65.
On Earth-311, Peter Parquagh is on stage at the Globe Theater when Morlun appears. Peter attempts to defend himself, but Morlun proves too powerful and absorbs Peter's life essence. Before disappearing into another dimension, Morlun declares that all spiders will die.
The Superior Spider-Man (Doctor Octopus' mind in Spider-Man's body) is pulled via a time warp into the year 2099. Superior Spider-Man attempts to return home, but instead transfers to alternate Earths, where he finds the bodies of alternate Spider-Men, all slain by similar double-puncture wounds. He decides to assemble an army of Spider-Men to fight the killer.
In the back-up story, the Earth-8351, an assassin version of Peter Parker battles Karn alongside Wolverine, who is killed by Karn's two prong spear. Karn is about to kill Peter only to be knocked down by the Superior Spider-Man. The Superior Spider-Man convinces Peter to join his army.
