Spider-Man 2099 Uses His Wings to Webbing to Kill the Vulture in Midair
It has been officially verified in Symbiote Spider-man 2099 #4 (written by Peter David, illustrated by Rogê Antônio, colored by Sebastian Cheng, and lettered by Travis Lanham) that Spider-Man can defeat a lethal MCU villain with ease—but only if he kills him. Though Spider-Man is renowned for being a superhero who upholds his unwavering no-kill policy, a startling change of events has resulted in a deadly battle between Spider-Man 2099, the Spider-Man of the future, and the Vulture.
Miguel O'Hara, better known as Spider-man 2099, is seen in the preview for Symbiote Spider-man 2099 #4 pursuing the Vulture in a furious manner while his half-brother Kron Stone is keeping an eye on them. He is seen holding fast to Vulture's leg in hopes of getting an idea.
Sending Out The Vulture Minimizes A Prolonged Spider-Man Outlaw
Fans of Spider-Man's cast of villains will be shaken by this depressing revelation. It is astonishing to see Vulture, a renowned and deadly villain who even served as one of the original Sinister Six, taken out so quickly. The simplicity of the solution is what's so astounding about this revelation. It's astonishing, to say the least, that not even Spider-Man from Earth-616 has ever considered just binding him midair. Ultimately, his wings are what distinguish him as the Vulture.
With a few upgrades throughout the years, without them, he's just Adrian Toomes dressed up as a vulture. Miguel, who tells Vulture that even he is shocked at how simple it is to stop him, says:
"I wonder why I didn't do it sooner."
Not Just A Character's Demise
Miguel readily gives in to the darker side of things and lets Toomes fall to his death since he is under the symbiote's influence and can control its wrath. It's a graphic moment for the well-known Superhero, confirming that Peter Parker probably never looked for this way because he would never murder his opponent.
There is more to this occurrence than merely a character passing away. It also has important implications for Spider-Man 2099's future and Marvel Comics' Vulture character.
The Legacy of the Vulture Is Shaken
Spider-Man would be transgressing his moral code if he allowed Vulture to die. Vulture becomes a much weaker villain than before if he allows him to live. If Spider-Man attempted this maneuver outside of the Marvel 2099 universe, Vulture's threat level would drastically decrease as a character.
This raises the question of whether Spider-Man's persona actually depends on the no-kill rule. He's become a fan favorite because of this restriction, but it also restricts his ability to battle some baddies. If Spider-Man were willing to kill, could he combat crime just as effectively?
