comment |
The Sociopath: Carl only cares for himself and what he wants, and is obsessed with becoming Spider-Man, believing he's entitled to the power and position Peter has. Other human lives are nothing but stepping stones to satisfy his wants, and he casually admits to Spidey that he ate dozens of people to grow stronger, including his girlfriend, his parents, and children. |

Kayfabe: The comics treated the fight between Peter and the wrestler as real, though it was explained in issue #14 of Spider-Man's Tangled Web that Crusher Hogan was actually a "shoot" wrestler—in which the outcome of the match is not scripted. |

Ax-Crazy: The consumption and death of his mother at his hands may have been an accidental killing, but what Carl did to his dad and girlfriend was perpetrated willingly and for little more than sick kicks. After going underground to get used to his new state and to build up his strength for Spider Man, he spent his time taking his violent urges out on the homeless population and whatever unfortunate happened to cross his path. |

Psychopathic Manchild: For all his power, Carl is nothing more than a Schoolyard Bully All Grown Up, utterly fixated on Peter and insanely jealous of his fame and glory as Spider-Man. During their fight, he rants about how he believes he should have become Spider-Man and how he deserves Peter's "perfect life." Spidey even lampshades it, remarking that Carl hasn't changed at all from the pathetic bully he was when they were kids. |

| | Spider-Man's Tangled Web (Comic Book) / int_44a77de8 |
comment |
Even the Loving Hero Has Hated Ones: Spider-Man normally doesn't hate anyone, and even against the evilest of foes, he's still open to delivering wisecracks and jokes at their expense. With Carl? Peter straight-up calls him pathetic with a blunt and serious tone, never making a single joke once when fighting against him. Considering Carl's history as an unrepentant bully towards Peter, his shamelessness about hurting others, and his insanely self-absorbed reason for wanting publicity, it's no wonder why Spider-Man had such contemptuous and disdainful thoughts toward him. |

Humanoid Abomination: When Carl’s wearing his latest victim and pretending to be human, he perfectly embodies this. He can act and look perfectly normal up until the moment he feels he has the upper hand. At which point he can distort and warp his host body (which is little more than a bag of skin animated by his spider form) into a varied array of horrific configurations to overtake his opponents. He’s also completely divorced from humanity both in his natural state and mental state, as well as believes himself to be vastly superior both to normal people and Spider-Man alike. |

Evil Counterpart |

comment |
Evil Counterpart: Carl King to Flash Thompson, who does not appear in the story. Both bullied Peter, but while Flash did so due to his troubled home life and own insecurities, Carl did it simply because he was a sadistic sociopath. Both idolized and wanted to be like Spider-Man, and while Flash looks back on his time as a bully with embarrassment and shame, Carl revels in the memories of his past misdeeds. |

Genius Serum: In the story, "Flowers for Rhino", the dim-witted Rhino is tired of being treated like a joke and undergoes a dangerous surgical procedure to greatly increase his intelligence. He eventually becomes so smart that he thoroughly trounces Spidey in a fight and uses an algorithm to determine his Secret Identity. But he soon begins experiencing Intelligence Equals Isolation as he simply grows bored of everything and can only see the numbers and science behind the world around him instead of enjoying it for what it is. As a result, he ends up getting another surgery to revert his intelligence and make him dumber than he already was. |

Break Them by Talking: What Carl tried to do to Peter during the time he bullied him, in addition to the physical violence. Emphasis on tried, as already back in school Peter, along with everyone else, saw right through him and knew he was nothing but a sadistic and pathetic sociopath who only knew cruelty and fear, and was only a threat to Peter on account of his larger size and greater physical strength. |

Evil Gloating: After biting Spider-Man and paralyzing him, Carl ties him up and goes on a long monologue, explaining his origins, his powers, and how he plans to Kill and Replace Spidey. This, combined with the interruption of Peter's landlord, who King promptly devours, buys Spidey enough time for the poison to wear off. Spidey even lampshades it before breaking free and attacking him. |

Hate Sink |
| | Spider-Man's Tangled Web (Comic Book) / int_e5fd8bc2 |
comment |
Hate Sink: The Thousand, who is just as loathsome as he is horrifying. Originally Carl King, a particularly nasty bully to Peter Parker, he transformed into a colony of a thousand spiders that could crawl into a human's body, devour them from the inside out and then wear their skin like a suit after eating the radioactive spider that gave Parker his powers. He goes through several bodies each year to grow stronger, with some of the victims being children, and hunts down Spidey for the sole purpose of stealing his body and taking over his life, under the belief that he should have been Spider-Man instead of Peter Parker. Even among Peter's worst foes like Norman Osborn and Carnage, the Thousand has none of their bravado or even slightly sympathetic qualities. He's a vicious, entitled bully who kills and torments for the pettiest of reasons, and a vile, predatory abomination both literally and figuratively. This just makes his ultimate demise of being electrocuted and having his last spider squished by a random passer-by all the more satisfying, and he has never reappeared since. |
