Peter getting his licks back for all the horrible things the marvel universe has made him endure.

Even when Spider-Man's Spider Sense gets a glowup and a glowing recommendation for it's ability to help him survive an apocalypse, he still gets shot in the head. Every time...

God this story was insane. The end of stark was horrible. Literally starved to death inside a prison of iron. As someone who is claustrophobic literally gave me the chills

One thing I liked about this comic was just how huge Spiderman had become. He always had that default superhero physique, but the man has spent years on a Keto diet chowing down on protein and it left him bulky as hell.

"I know you guys love it when horrible things happen to the superheroes" Not Spider-Man Rob, it's become downright trite seeing bad things happen to Spider-Man

No way spiderman didn't let Frank kill him. With his spider sense and abilities he could have easily dodged the bullet and taken Frank out.

I love that Rob is incapable of mentioning Black Bolt without ripping on him 🤣

like you stated: its a comic and who cares, but it kinda bugs me that characters with insane healing abilities can succumb to a virus/disease. so then it also should be possible to kill them with a virus/disease.

Wolverine actually survived his fight with the Hulk, just had that arm ripped off but then retreated to Antartica and found Reed Richards, T'Challa and the surviving Science team who were looking for a cure for the virus.

Spider-Man gets more crap thrown at him than Nightwing

Rob I'm super disappointed that you didn't mention Wolverines part in all of this. Wolverine is still alive and one of the few that are immune and he along with Reed Richards are out there trying to to find a cure. The Hulk bit off Wolverines hand but he didn't eat him. The story is called Wolverine vs the Marvel Universe.

Spider Man had already tasted human flesh. Even when he has self control to not eat MJ, he will once he's hungry. Frank just did Peter a favor. The reason why he didn't dodge probably because Peter had known Punisher well enough to know he's gonna kill him anyway.

Came for a “Spider-Man kills Marvel” story, ended up with an interesting post-apocalyptic Punisher story. Honestly, kind of badass.

I can't see Tony not having a way out of his suit. He's a genius and he probably has thought about going up against an opponent who could knock out his systems and still have a way to open his suit

In a world where Wolverine can be killed, broken into pieces, and eaten, Frank Castle can absolutely snap off one of Wolverine's claws.

It always bugged me with Iron man locked in his suit; you would think as smart and a futurist as Tony is that he would have Failsafes in case these things happen. Because you can be damn sure, any version of Stark….including superior iron man (Douche bag stark) would have failsafes on top of failsafes because he would be too selfish (or stubborn) to die so haphazardly…..

Spider-Man's spidey-sense is like Flash's superspeed: plot driven.

The name of the actual comic (which is nowhere in the description) is *Marvel Universe vs The Punisher.* You know, for those who want to read the comic without having it spoiled by the video as they try to figure out which one he's talking about.

Love how Rob finds any opportunity to diss Black Bolt

How the heck didn’t Spider-Man know he was about to be shot in the head 😂 crazy

From the sounds of things, Peter Parker, Spider-Man, barely killed anyone of note. This isn't even a 'Spider-Man Kills the Marvel Universe' story, it's closer to a 'Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe' story. Punisher has the most confirmed named character kills under his belt, he's supposedly the reason the plague happened in the first place, hell he even gets the first and last on panel kills!

take a shot anytime he says "basically" "essentially" or "pretty much"

100% agree with Frank in this story. They had to die and sometimes it takes a monster to kill a monster

This title is so misleading. Punisher's the one who killed the Marvel Universe in this story on literally every level. It's the literal title of the story, Punisher being an impulsive idiot ended up being the catalyst for the plague and he's now literally going around killing everyone infected (which I imagine to be most of the world at this point).

10:40 "Even black bolt, but it really doesn't matter anyway cuz Black Bolt sucks." 😂🤣 only Rob can say that line with a straight face.

The way Tony went out to me is both a cop out but also just unsettling. The comic itself mentions his suit is meant to be able to keep the infection out. But it...still gets in? Also why wouldn't Tony be in a bunker somewhere working with like Reed while using remote piloting instead of putting himself out there. It may just be me, but i kinda want to see a apocalypse scenario where Tony is the focus and we see his mindset as he acknowledges (in the words of his MCU self) he's just a man in a tin can but he then adds how he doesn't think he deserved to live while others fell. Although i do understand he would have a high chance of making a cure (look at his knowledge of Extremis) but I feel like a story about Tony making do with remaining resources, getting data to try and make a cure and fighting to survive in this apocalypse would be a fun story, they could even say Tony's exposure to Extremis wasn't reversed in this world and thus his altered biology was immune or something along the lines of the Extremis keeps it from having an effect

Hey Rob not sure if you will see this but this story is only 1 aspect of the whole. There are 3 stories that tie into this. You have "punisher vs the marvel universe" but you also have "wolverine vs the marvel universe" where it shows wolverines point of view during all these events and "avengers vs the marvel universe" where it follows Hawkeye and his point of view. All 3 have moments that intertwine with each other and even expand on other event's. Personally i feel wolverine vs the marvel universe was the best part but thats just me. From what i have seen from your channel you never covered wolverine or the avengers part of the story just Punisher. If you see this I really hope you cover those other 2 and do a "remaster" showing all 3 stories in chonilogical order. When you read all 3 its an amazing story

Damn well that ending is anticlimactic. Every single time Spider-Man dies in a comic like this, he always dies by a gunshot that he could have easily dodged if it wasn't for writers forgetting he has Spider-Sense.

Susan Storm killing Franklin is literally just "we need him gone to have a story." There was no logical reason to kill him. She could have simply asked him "hey, can you wave your hand and revert all that happened and make the plague go away?" And it would have happened, especially with his sister's genius to help guide him. They definitely could have done a little bit more to explain it at least, like saying Susan got infected and killed him for food at least.

I would actually like to see Spiderman genuinely "eradicate the Marvel Universe" but like intentionally. I think he could pull it off too. 1) His connections. He is known and respected by most superhero teams 2) His scientific mind. He is one of the fastest and most versatile thinkers on the planet. He can basicly think while he fights 3) His powers. While he isn't the heavy-duty hitter in Marvel he can definitely hold his own. I think that the only thing that keeps him from doing this is his sence of responsibility. But everyone has a breaking point. I think maybe a villian finally takes out everyone Spidey cares about. Spidey looses it and decides to take "ultimate" responsibility and take over the world.

Wolverine is still around, just missing a arm that he later is shown he had regrown. Hes out by Iron Fists place

Kingpin's power comes from his criminal empire and his social and political influence. In a post-apocalyptic setting he wouldn't have those and he would just be a big guy who's well trained in hand-to-hand combat. If the tribes follow the strongest leader, any of the superhumans could have killed him and taken his place.

They literally spidey sense off just so the punisher could actually kill Spider-Man. There’s 0 way Spider-Man trusted Punisher enough for it not to work and people got full sentences out before Punisher even shot. Crazy

So , Spiderman can turn a whole universe into cabalistic monsters , outsmart and outfight the biggest threats the marvel universe has to offer , yet he can't dodge a bullet , guess the spidey sense left the chat that day

"It's a comic book, who cares, go with it." Oh boy that quote needs to be preached.

Castle didn’t need to “break” Wolverine’s claw off. He could have disarticulated the claw out.

Plot twist Dopinder turns out to be the Indian Spiderman.

One of my favorite What-Ifs of all time, Rob. Can’t wait to see it all covered!

Just wanna thank Rob, I’ve learned so much over the years from your videos. Keep up the amazing work brother 🙌🏾

20:58 Even if the Spider-Sense wasn’t around, there was enough time for Spider-Man to realize Frank is gonna pull out a gun

The plot hole here was that spiderman's spidersense should have alerted him. Especially since it was right in front of him.

F$%#^ing love your videos! The one that made me a fan was the infinity story you did back in like 2013...Love you bro!

Always have a love hate relationship with how these "bad ending universes: always need to find a way to take out Wolverine that 616 Logan just wouldn't be the victim of. Like his healing just kinda stopping in the Brood version of Marvel Zombies, or his durability getting all wonky so that Hulk can tear him limb from limb (something which I'm almost certain 616 Hulk has admitted he full on *can't* do) and Punisher of all people can break adamantium. Yeah there are characters you need to get rid of to let these one off alternate universe stories actually occur, but it always feels really cheap when you see *how* they're removed from the story. Granted, it is nice they acknowledge that he can regrow limbs if need be.

Iron man suffered a cruel fate, this story was insane! Man its hard to say what hasn't already been said about Frank's character, hes always been interesting. Spider-man as the villain was fun, seems like the entire incident was Frank's fault in the beginning though.

Oh come on! This doesn't count as a kills the marvel universe story! You got me all excited that they actually made one!

In defense of him breaking off the claw, adamantium is very hard, but hard metals are brittle. With the right leverage, it's possible that he could snap one.

SHEESH! Still a good story, glad you touched on this one again Rob my man! Stay BEASTLY

Rob, PLEASE do the other 2 stories. In this series, Avengers and Wolverine vs. the Marvel Universe. It would make me so happy

Wolverines side of this story is definitely my favorite of the three.

Love your content man, well done!! This is a great story!

Great job as always. Thanks for this.

Just the fact of having Multiple Man in these mass infection scenario stories is reason enough to know all hope is lost.

There are actually 2 more stories to this One following Wolverine's perspective And the perspective of the heroes who tried to fight the infection head on in NY as a last stand I recommend covering the Wolverine perspective one because it's the most interesting and shows what happened in the battle of brooklyn Edit: It also shows (if I remember correctly) that the claw actually broke off in a different way in his perspective, not the bullshit that was "frank used a tank"

God I've been waiting for you or comicstorian to do this one for years 😂😂😂

Hello this is my first time commenting. I have followed comics explained for a few years now. This story was so great along with the narration that I had to. Great job man!

Never heard of this story until I found the entire run in a Punisher section of discount comics. I love the Punisher and love this iteration of Marvel Zombies. Thanks for giving it some love

Wolverines claws are attached to muscles and ligaments that slide in and out of his forearms and nestle between the radius and ulna. They are separate bones from the ones in his arm and to remove them just rip the soft tissue no breaking of bones needed

The co.ic: yeah, so Spider-Man's spider-sense makes him essentially invulnerable just be dodging attacks Punisher: I got one bullet

I think the reason frank was able to break off one of wolverine’s claws is because his bones started to rot after awhile and made his bones a lot weaker and easier to break

Its always interesting how they have to make some heroes weaker to kill them off in these kind of stories. Again just breaking wolverine apart or an arrow to the brain kills the hulk or again spider man could not dodge the bullet.

This is honestly way more interesting than what I expected I originally thought it was spider man get a mad about something and decided to show ppl he is one of the most formidable characters in Marvel

I picked up a few of these because they looked cool. I never hunted down every issue. Thank you for the video!

comicsexplained is THE BEST comics guy on UKposts. I always have a chuckle at his enthusiasm. "And it's AMAZING". 😅 Makes him a cut above the rest in my opinion. You just feel his passion for comics.

I don’t understand how The Punisher was able to pull a gun out and shoot Spider-man when he survived against other foes due to his spider sense

Spider man mouth through his mask will never not tickle me lmaoo

This was great ❤could you also cover the two tie-in storys that dropped with this as we'll

I'd love to see a tier list of Marvel's cosmic hierarchy. Reality warpers, gods and cosmic entities, characters with insane power ups, all ranked. Astral Regulator Thanos, The One Above All, HOTU Thanos, White Phoenix of the Crown, Pre-Retcon Beyonder, the Living Tribunal, God Emperor Doom, Matthew Malloy, Chaos King, Mad Jim Jaspers, the Marquis of Death. Nobody off limits. It'd be cool trying to determine if Franklin Richards could beat Michael Korvac, or who's stronger between Rune King Thor and Chaos War Hercules. A video like that would be pretty long, and would have to cover something like 50 characters or more I'd imagine, so it's a big ask. A lot of them would be characters you've already covered in the Beyond Omega Level series, it would just be a matter of ranking them. That would be insanely awesome and I think if there's a guy on UKposts who can do it, it's you.

Your coverage is the absolute best, Rob! Thanks for saving me money by worthless comic books! 😂

I honestly would like more raw gritty stories like this

I 100% in love with this much effort they always made me and my family happy so I decided to put it on the TV and my whole family was laughing and enjoying it

Pretty sure when frank snipes those 2 in the yellow panels. It's Sam and twitch. Which would be a sick Easter egg. Love your videos! Keep at it. ❤

Wouldn’t his spider sense have prevented that outcome?

So you mean to tell me, the reason spider man survived was cause of how broken his spider sense is, and by the end, he dies from a gun, while doing nothing? Guess spider sense didn't kick in....gun shots are reality warping level!

Another great video bro

Punisher here probably got the thickest plot armor in existence. Like dude broke wolverines claw and shot Spiderman (bypassing spidey sense) both are almost imposible.

the story talks about Peter's 'spidy-senses' that he used to overcome the other heros, but it somehow didn't activate when Frank pulled a gun on him.....

Beyond Omega Level: Icon (DC Milestone Comics)

So, assuming this "bug" shut down all of the power, does this just mean his SUIT was drained of power or does this also include the arc reactor embedded in his chest? Either way, quite the agonizing fate for anyone to suffer through.

4:22 Thor getting possessed and still possessing Mjolnir is a plot hole. If he's possessed, he can't be worthy.

This was "Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe", right? I had this comic a while back. Also, I'm not totally sure Thor went back and infected Asgard. He didn't eat Ares and Hercules when he killed them, he just left. I assumed he killed the two of them because they were infected, then just left because saving the world was a lost cause at that point. I also wouldn't say it was *entirely* Frank's fault for what happened. If he hadn't stopped them, they'd have just released all this stuff themselves anyway. Ultimately, what should have happened was the normal superheroes should have known about what was being transported before the Punisher stopped it. It's partly his negligence at shooting the briefcase, and partly the rest of the heroes for letting something so dangerous get smuggled in without any of them knowing or doing anything about it. Last, I imagine what happened with Iron Man is that, after he became infected and changed inside his suit, he was either no longer in possession of the necessary intelligence to make the suit work, or alternatively the internal AI in the suit saw what happened and locked it up completely to make sure he couldn't hurt anybody.

Only the real OG's know that rob remade this story from like 6-8 years ago.

Best episode in awhile Rob you the man!

Punisher never fails to satisfy. True Frank Castle edict. Great book, Great read Rob

Spider-Man time again.

That's a perfect world for The Punisher.

1:39 LOL.. I was listening to just the Audio.. stepped out for a bit. 👀That sounded mad suspect.. when I walked back in 😂🤣

That was frakkin fantastic!!

YOU NEED TO DO THE WOLVERINE AND HAWKEYE PERSPECTIVE OF THIS STORIE ( WOLVERINE AND AVENGERS)

while this story is depressing like others, i do like how this story isnt ur typical zombie story. It's cannibals and although primitive, can still reason. Usually I wouldnt believe Someone saying we will leave you alone which I like frank calls out on, but in this story they dont technically have to eat people or are forced to, It's just a want rather than a need. MJ is proof of that as well as the survivors. Also like how this story somewhat ends on a bittersweet note. There are survivors and with main tribes of the cannibals being taken out, frank stays behind to clean up the rest acknowledging he is a monster as well. I will say I do feel a bit sad for Spidey as it actually seemed like he was gonna keep his end of the deal but also yea spidey did kill people and heralded the beginning of this plague so I understand why frank did it. Sometimes to kill a monster u have to become one. Im guessing he decided to do that when MJ called him a good person because while he is doing good things like helping people, deep down he knew that it was for selfish reasons and is just killing people at the end of the day

Thank you for this.

Your hate for blackbolt is amusing.

Should of had Franklin Richards, scarlet witch, and Dr doom to go back in time earlier before the virus pops up

One of the few comics where Spider-Man is happy

Ah yes, Spiderman sits atop the throne of the apocalypse, defeating the most overpowered beings on the planet due to his overwhelming strength and spider sense… Gun 🤡

Do the Wolverine POV of the story!

Loved this story. The Wolverine vs and Avengers vs stories gave us another view of this tragedy.

A couple possibilities to why the punisher was able to kill spiderman even with the spider sense 1.) since punisher saved MJ, Peter might’ve seen him not as a threat anymore and so his spider sense didn’t go off (keep in mind this version of peter is “simplified”) 2.) because the punisher is only set on infected and survivors/good and bad, the punisher was set on killing him from the start. This might’ve set off peters spider sense the entire time they were together. This means Peter would’ve had to ignore the constant sense of danger. With that being said, since he was ignoring his sense, the gun might’ve not made it go off. Peters spider-sense is capable of sensing all dangers and unconsciously reacting to dangers (think when doctor strange tried to take that thing from him in the movies and his spider-sense automatically made him move even though Peter was knocked out of his body). I’m not sure how exactly his spider sense works but I’m assuming it’s like a meter. It goes up depending on the level of danger a threat poses and spikes when something like a gun is shot, which is why he automatically reacts. The punisher could’ve left his sense spiked the whole time meaning when the gun was pulled there was no change in threat level. Just some thoughts

That song in the background. Idk if it is there the whole time. But I heard scar's super fast build mode song

Crazy how Peter still gets a bad ending He just wanted his mate

Once again Rob just has to throw a Black Bolt insult into his video…. I love it 😂😂
