Superior Spider-Man is probably one of my favorite Spider-Man comics ever. I liked this comic so much that I even wrote a screenplay on it for a creative writing assignment last year. So, now you all have to read my yap about Superior Spider-Man.
It first came out in the 90s and was left alone for a while until the better version of it was made in 2013. It starts off with Spider-Man going to meet a dying Otto Octavius (who had been known to be reformed). He wanted to say goodbye before Otto died. They were talking to each other for a while until one of Otto’s robots rose and stabbed Spidey in the neck with a needle. That needle transferred Otto’s brainwaves to Spidey’s mind, and Sidey’s brainwaves to Otto’s mind. So, this meant that peter was now in Otto’s dying body and Otto was now Spider-Man and Peter died.
Otto was ready to ruin the name Spider-Man, but instead he saw all of Peter’s memories. His happiness, his struggles, his family, and his reason for being a hero. This changed Otto. Otto still was cocky and had his personality, but he had Peter’s ambitions. He was ready to be spider-Man. But he was going to be a Superior Spider-Man.
Otto quickly got to doing Spidey work. The only problem was, he had no idea the extent of Spider-Mans power. So, when he fought Scorpion first, he knocked his jaw off with one punch. That obviously killed Scorpion. That made Otto realize that Peter could’ve killed him at any moment, but instead pulled his punches. He saw Peter as weak because of that. That gave him one more reason to think he was Superior.
He continued his work as Spider-Man. All he did was beat villains to a pulp. The public saw this and started to hate Spider-Man. He was no longer the Friendly-Neighborhood Spider-Man they knew. He hated that. He started to feel less superior and tried to fight more crime.
At some point, the Green Goblin started a rampage on the city. Doc Ock had to try and save the whole city from him. This was when he realized that he just wasn’t good enough. Then, he heard Peter’s voice in his head. A part of Peter lived on in his mind and was fighting to take back control. Him and Octavius then had a conversation, and Octavius agreed to give Peter his body back. This was the end of Otto Octavius and thus, the old Spider-Man was back to save the day.
Woah, this is really interesting. Everyday I’m more and more convinced to get into the marvel universe.

Your blogs keep convincing me to learn more about this, so I can fully understand what you’re yapping about.
I’ve honestly always viewed superhero’s that don’t kill the villains if they are able to ask weak or too merciful. So, I definitely want to read up on this as I’ve been waiting my whole life to see a superhero go rouge.
