Marvel Studios' Spider-Man: Darkest Day

In the Kingpin's dusk, symbiotes hum the universe's hunger!

After Secret Wars, Kingpin rules New York City, opposed only by Spider-Man and Daredevil's desperate guerrilla war. A mind-shattered Eddie Brock attacks Peter, leaving him bonded with the dark Black Suit. Symbiote spores soon engulf the quarantined city, forming a massive organic hive-mind: the "Web of Shadows." Peter struggles between the Black Suit's corrupting power—the only weapon strong enough to destroy the hive—and Daredevil's moral path. Tragedy strikes as allies like Luke Cage and Black Cat are consumed, returning to hunt Peter as terrifying symbiote monsters. Chaos escalates as sadistic assassin Arcade weaponizes the hive, turning the infected streets into a living "Murderworld" to hunt Peter's love, MJ, and Eddie’s awakening son, Dylan. Simultaneously, Kingpin plots to hijack the hive alongside dark sorceress Nicola Zosimos (Hexfinder) and Lee Price (Venomania). Empowered by Zosimos’s magic, Price's iron will subjugates the symbiote, creating a loyal "Maniac Army." The city plunges into a brutal three-way war between Peter’s fractured resistance, the feral symbiote swarm, and Kingpin’s merciless new forces. The climax erupts at Zosimos’s magical Nexus beneath Central Park. Peter and Daredevil battle a heavily armored Price, while Wanda Maximoff shatters Hexfinder’s magic in the astral plane. Knowing his son is safe, Eddie makes the ultimate sacrifice by forcefully fusing his symbiote into Price’s mind. Amplified by Wanda’s astral strike, this overloads the network, shattering the hive and freeing the infected. However, the massive energy blast tears a cosmic rift to the dark god Knull's realm. Merging with the last pure symbiote essence, Eddie dives in to seal the gateway from within, leaving Peter to brace for an impending cosmic war.
