In Amazing Spider-Man #65, Spider-Man confronts the Scions of Cyttorak, facing a trial that forces him to witness the deaths of everyone he loves. Cyra, a Scion, presents him with a crimson sphere that shows him the potential fates of his loved ones, highlighting the transient nature of life and the inevitability of death. Spider-Man endures the excruciating pain of seeing these deaths, ultimately collapsing from the emotional weight. Despite surviving Cyra's trial, the experience leaves a profound impact on him, extinguishing something within Peter Parker and leading him to declare, 'I quit.'
#65, from writer Joe Kelly and artist Carlos Alberto Fernández Urbano, is “one of the most emotional comics I’ve ever worked on,” editor Nick Lowe teased in December. The poignant issue, which is part 5 of the, choosing Spider-Man to be Earth’s champion against the Eight Scions of Cyttorak — the children of the dark god of destruction who empowers the unstoppable Juggernaut.
Over the next eight pages, Cyra’s sphere shows Spider-Man the deaths of everyone he’s ever loved. His once cancer-stricken Aunt May is hospitalized by the Essex Virus that kills over three million people in a month. The 79-year-old chooses to offer her bed to someone with a greater likelihood of survival, and so May Parker dies “wishing that she could have kissed her Peter, her son, one last time,” Cyra taunts.
Felicia Hardy, Spider-Man’s former lover and partner, falls to her death while prowling the city as the Black Cat. Betty Brant, another friend and former coworker, dies in her bed surrounded by loved ones. The reformed Norman Osborn dies in a science experiment and is forgotten by history. Young Bailey Briggs , Gwen Stacy , and Miles Morales die in the Cataclysm.
“It’s not the pain of dying. You have felt it before,” Cyra tells Spider-Man. “You’ve died yourself. It’s not the fear, though that can be terrible at times… but you understand fear. It’s not the loss itself, great as it may be… sorrowful as it is… uncelebrated, unnoticed, or even heralded. What you understand now with crystal clarity each time you see a fellow human die… is the utter lack of impact they had on the world.
