"The Die is Cast" Respect the Superior Spider-Man (Marvel 616)

Doctor Otto Octavius (Aka Doctor Octopus) was for years one of Spider-Man’s most dangerous villains. Unfortunately for the good doctor, as a result of all the injuries sustained in his clashes with Spider-Man his body was falling apart and he was dying. Desperate to survive and to finally defeat his nemesis, in his final act as Doc Ock he used an Octobot to swap minds with Peter Parker. As Spider-Man, Otto makes use of his great intelligence and new body to protect New York and its people. While he can be kind of a dick, and is significantly more brutal than Peter, even being more than willing to kill, Otto does want to do good and tries he best not be just as good of a hero as Parker, but a Superior one.
