come-uppance 

More accurately described as a colloquial phrase, it means
"your deserved reward or just due" for an action taken or statement you have made. It always conveys that to be of a negative nature. It should be hyphenated as neither word, of it's own definition, conveys close to the meaning of the combination of the two; therefore the linkage of the hyphen is needed.

"Joe has always bragged that he was the team's best batter, but in the playoff game he went 0 for 4 and humiliated himself."
(Joe; therefore, got his just due or his come-uppance for his continual bragging and then, his abysmal failure.

combuppance 

An insufferable jerk you used to know - such as an arrogant jock in high school - who later is humiliated by baldness and must resort to a comb over or comb up, or alternatively just wears a hat all the time.

Friend: Did you see that dickhead Colt at the 10-year reunion?
Me: No, I heard he was too embarrassed to come because he's fat and bald now.
Friend: Wow, he really received his combuppance.

comeuppance 

A "reward" i.e. well deserved and long awaited revenge for past misbehavior. The "reward" should be administered by those previously wronged and in a public or humiliating way.

That bitch will get her comeuppance in the form of a public birching at the next group pot luck. Everyone there will be quite pleased at the chance to participate. I don't think she will be able to sit down for several days.
