Nightmare Fuel / Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy

Go To

A story where Spider-Man's dead loved ones come back to life has got to have some nightmare fuel, right?

  • What happens to the clones if they don't take their pill is pretty horrifying: they break down into Carrion zombies and eventually crumble to dust.
    • Prowler actually describes this happeneing when he's being hunter by Electro. Needless to say, it's not pretty.
  • The true identity of the person behind this all should be a nightmare on its own; Ben Reilly, the one man who should understand Peter better than anyone, has become so broken and warped by what he's been through that he was willing to basically turn everyone on Earth into immortal drug addicts with him in complete charge of life and death.
  • When Doc Ock activates the siren that makes all of the clones turn into Carrions, Haven becomes a living nightmare with people turning to dust, trying to Zerg Rush the people with the pills and screaming in agony. Then Ben sends out the signal to the '''entire world'''. What he says while this happens is also... disconcerting.
    Jackal: Think about it. We'll all die and be reborn on the same day! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
  • After the whole thing has played out, Lizard whisks his family away and cures them of the Carrion virus... by injecting them with the Lizard formula. Curt seems to be blissfully unaware of this, which is even more terrifying seeing everyone (including Peter) assumed he'd made a Heel–Face Turn and become sane.
