Amazing Spider-Man #88 Revives Mark Millar's Big Marvel Conspiracy

In 2004 and 2005, Mark Millar, Terry Dodson and Rachel Dodson told the Marvel Knights: Spider-Man story – one that Kevin Smith was originally going to write, but you know Kevin. A twelve-issue run, they put Spider-Man through the ringer, but also lit a conspiracy theory that hasn't had much done with since. With Mac Gargan, the Scorpion, explaining the rules to Peter Parker, with a little history lesson in Marvel Knights: Spider-Man #9.

Spider-Man Conspiracy

That super-villains were created by the 1% to keep the superheroes in check. To keep them distracted while they continue their lives without risk from such types.

That is is all a cost of doing business and that Norman Osborn was the biggest power player of them all, until he got in on the supervillain game himself.

And that Norman Osborn is a threat to the powers-that-be as a result. And, in battle in Marvel Knights: Spider-Man #12, he confirms it all.
