240: That One S.O.B.
There was one S.O.B. who scared me. In my whole miserable life, I have never been scared of anyone as I have been of this particular son of a bitch. He has been the bane of my existence for a long, long time.
Who am I talking about? Kron Stone. My half-brother, although I didn't know it when I first knew him.
We went to school together. He was worse than a bully. He was a thug. He was a rapist. He was a killer. He was everything I ever feared in a human being.
As much as he terrified me, then, he got worse as an adult. After I became Spider-Man, he bonded with an extraterrestrial creature that had tormented the original Spider-Man, a creature called Venom. He used his power to come after me, to go after the people I loved. I wish I could say it was all his fault that Dana died, but . . . those guys fired on my orders. So who do I really blame?
But I found a way to stop him. And once I did, I made him suffer. I made him scream.
Even with all that, though, he still terrifies me.
