Hey, so I got a bit of a lore question concerning “Responsibility” and how forgiving (Y/N) is in the book.
What’s his goal at the end of the day concerning villains and criminals. It feels less like he’s putting them away and more about rehabilitation. Does he face every criminal with the same compassion like he did in the AOU arc with the vibranium smugglers?
I know we were shown a real depraved guy in the arc following Civil War, but (Y/N) wasn’t even really in control then. How does (Y/N) respond to the real depraved sorts? Rapists, Child Predators, Serial Killers? Obviously (Y/N) won’t kill, but do these sort of criminals ever make him kinda consider it, contemplate it? I can’t remember when but I saw him say something about second chances and stuff. Does he believe that for every scenario?
Do you plan on making him cross that line at any point? Will (Y/N) ever be *forced* to finish someone off?

@amanizip Yeah, I got you. In the latest chapter, he answers with how he'll often "accidentally" break a few bones when catching the scummiest of scums lmao

Thanks for explaining it to me! I didn’t mean to imply that I think he should kill his enemies, I often see that in many arguments in favor of making heroes like Spider-Man and Batman kill are things like “Well, if he’s just gonna get out and kill again then that’s on him!”. Of which I’ve settled with the fact that at that point the responsibility isn’t on the hero but the people incarcerating them. Namely, the United States Government lol.
I really only wanted to know because (Y/N) seems so compassionate to all. And while I’m also a firm believer in the “Spider-Man shouldn’t kill unless he’s left no choice” idea, when putting myself in the shoes of these heroes, I often wonder if I myself would be tempted y’know?

@amanizip I assume you haven't read the latest chapter, he's asked the same question you asked by Deadpool and Wolverine, and he gives his answer there. At the end of the day, this is my greatest gripe with people who want superheroes like Spider-Man and Batman to kill the criminals they meet. The reason they're those kinds of heroes in the first place is their refusal to kill people. As Gandalf once said, 'Many that live deserve death, some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be so eager to deal out death in judgment, for even the very wisest cannot see all ends.' It's not their perogative to be this sort of judge, jury and executioner; they simply put the people behind bars, it's up to the justice system to ensure justice is served to them. As for (Y/N), he's a complex individual who tries his best ot be good and kind, of course, everyone gets tested when they see the cruelty man is capable of, but I believe he (And mainline Peter honestly) are stronger because they can resist not turning them into mush when they could so easily do so.
