St. Peter was crucified upside down because he requested it. He said he was not worthy to be crucified upright like Jesus. St. Peter was considered the first pope, as Jesus said " And I tell you that you are Peter and on this rock I build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
That is what we were told when I went to Catholic school. I always thought it was evil and bad.
