Greetings Summoners,
For those of you who haven’t completed The Living Death Who Walks event quest, beware spoilers below.
This month’s event quest featured a turn of events that few would’ve thought possible: Johnny Storm, a founding member of the Fantastic Four, a hero, and an all-around good guy getting in touch with his inner-villain! (To be fair, few could spend half a lifetime in the Negative Zone being corrupted by the Cosmic Control Rod and come out unscathed.)
But this is far from the first time a hero or villain has switched sides like this. Between mind control, clones, and genuine changes of heart, Marvel’s history is filled with good guys taking heel turns and former villains taking up the fight for justice.
One of my favorite of these examples of this is when Otto Octavius, Doctor Octopus himself, became Spider-Man!
Spoilers Below:
What started out as an attempt to extend his life by transferring his mind into Peter Parker’s body, turned into him wanting to best his nemesis in every way possible. The best way for him to do so was to not only be a better Peter Parker, but to also be a better, superior Spider-Man. While he still had some villainous habits in the way he went about being a hero (the guy loves to monologue), he did genuinely come to appreciate how hard Peter’s life was and care about protecting people and the city.
So Summoners, I want to know, are there any heroes or villains who have shocked you when they switched sides? Or were there any heroes who broke your heart when they went to bat for the bad guys? Let us know in the comments!

Spoilers for the Fantastic Four Wedding Special Below
Benjamin Grimm, or The Thing, is super old fashioned and went out of his way to ask for the blessing of his fiancé’s father. However, Alicia Master’s dad is an iconic F4 villain called the Puppet Master, who has the ability to manipulate people through a radioactive clay. When Thing went to ask for Puppet Master’s blessing, Alicia used her dad’s clay to manipulate him into giving Thing his blessing.
That’s some crazy grey-zone stuff, man. I love seeing comics with that type of moral ambiguity.
This is all I could think of off the top of my head, I’m not gonna go through my comics and look up tons of stuff just to answer a random question on the forums.
When he became Apocalyspe's horseman, Death, it was a love/hate feeling. I loved the look of the new Warren, but, as a servant of Apocalypse, I hated him.
Really happy that he came back on the right side after many switch.
Second, bad Rogue who became, good Rogue.
I was heartbroken when she had to die
Side note, anyone following age of x-man?
I really can't wait for the next issue. We saw the Phoenix in the current issue and the cover of the next issue is scott holding jean and in the background, jean looking a bit pissed. It's Happening folks
@GroundedWisdom get over here man
My favorite character and marvel made her a hero and now she's a villain in X-Men comics and a hero in avengers comics.
Remember watching it before I heard of X3
Crushed my soul when she "fake" died in the water. At the time I didn't know much about the Phoenix force but read the comic later
The Avengers - X-Men Axis series. The hero’s and villains had their personalities inverted. It was interesting to see villains like Carnage and Sabretooth playing the hero’s, while all the Avengers and X-Men where trying to kill each other. Loki was even able to hold Mjölnir... for a moment.
😂😂
He goes to see Foggy Nelson apparently. I was hoping for something more, but that works too I guess.
I felt the emotion when Daredevil had a glimpse of foggy before his sight fully deteriorated. Beautiful...
