Tom Holland’s Spider-Man Is a Great Guy & His MCU Kill Count Actually Confirms That

As a seasoned gamer and comic book enthusiast with over two decades of experience under my belt, I find myself intrigued by the kill count of our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, particularly his Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) version.


In the course of their fights, superheroes and other comic book characters often inflict significant harm unintentionally, although they strive to avoid doing so. Regrettably, collateral damage and casualties can occur despite their best efforts. However, there are occasions when heroes resort to killing deliberately as a necessary measure to vanquish their foes and secure victory.

While characters such as Batman and Superman might adhere to a “no-killing” principle in certain situations, it’s more common than not that superheroes have no qualms about taking lives when dealing with villains, monsters, aliens, or other threats.

Let’s discuss the number of enemies that Spider-Man, a beloved character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has defeated. Interestingly, despite being portrayed as a hero, the number of foes he’s taken down supports this image!

The data we’re using comes from a list compiled by IMDb user Creedswede. This list meticulously records the number of kills for both major and minor Marvel Cinematic Universe characters, including noteworthy observations. According to this data, Spider-Man’s kill count is as indicated below:

  • Avengers: Endgame – 16
  • Total kills: 16+

Furthermore, he featured prominently in films like “Captain America: Civil War,” “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” “Avengers: Infinity War,” “Spider-Man: Far From Home,” “Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” and “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” However, it’s intriguing to note that despite these significant roles, he did not register any kills in those movies. This is quite unusual given his prominent presence (with the exception of “Venom,” where his appearance was merely a cameo).

It’s clear to see that Spider-Man’s number of kills is relatively small, and even the time he killed Thanos’ minions in “Endgame” doesn’t make a big difference when we look at it in comparison to all other actions he has taken. In fact, if you consider it on its own, it’s nearly negligible as well.

This portrays the image of Spider-Man from Holland as a heroic figure who primarily employs his powers for the common good, rather than to annihilate his adversaries. While he may resort to violence if it’s unavoidable, he doesn’t have a strict “no-kill” policy. The MCU likely prefers to avoid portraying him as a character who indiscriminately kills people, given that he is a role model for children.

As a hardcore gamer, I can’t help but feel pumped about all the upcoming appearances of my favorite superhero – solo films, Avengers movies, and even a potential crossover with Venom and SSU! With such an action-packed schedule, it’s safe to say the body count will rise. But one step at a time, we’ll tackle each challenge as it comes.

In the context of “Deadpool & Wolverine”, these figures have been recently revised, as Spider-Man was absent from that instance. Thus, we might infer that they are reliable and up-to-date.
