Spider-Man has canonically killed more people than God

Did Spider-Man ever kill every single person on the planet but one family?

In the multiverse crisis he accidentally destroys several other universes

Are you talking about the MCU Spider-Man? If you want to go there, then every version of Yahweh that exists has definitely killed more people than every version of Spider-Man that exists.

Not to mention Yahweh genocides on purpose rather than by accident.

See, this is where the metaphor really breaks down. You're trying to shoehorn Pop Sci-Fi tropes into a significantly older franchise. There is no "every version of Yahweh". Like, canonically, there's exactly three versions. One of them is the wrathful mass murderer. One's the nice prophet who got strung up for preaching a revolutionary form of compassion. And one of them is a force-ghost that mostly just operates as Bronze Age Babelfish.

Not to mention Yahweh genocides on purpose rather than by accident.

Idk if you're going to get a harsher sentence for killing thousands of people deliberately than trillions of people through gross negligence.

Either way, even if you narrow it down to the OG Stan Lee Spiderman, I'm sure you can dig around and find the time he blew up a planet of evil aliens or decimated a miniature civilization with a sneeze or unleashed a cyber-plague that obliterated the population of an adjacent timeline, because 70s/80s/90s era Marvel was just full of that crap.

Case in point

In the end, the Knights and Spider-Man were able to save the day, except that there still remained the issue of a nuclear bomb that was designed to destroy the world. The Knights managed to open up a dimensional rift and Spider-Man threw the bomb through it...

...

The surviving heroes of that world then challenged the Knights, who had to concede that yeah, they kind of WERE responsible for the destruction of that world. The whole thing was never discussed again, but definitely not the finest hour for the good ol' Webhead.

So, OG Stan Lee Spiderman did a full blown "Noah's Ark" tier global holocaust. Except he did it in a post-industrial civilization when the population was in the billions rather than hundred-thousands.
