Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Hello and welcome to the Show With Issues, I’m your host Auram.
You have been warned.
For those of you that don’t know the history of the Superior Spider-Man, let’s recap.
So let’s get to it shall we?
Oh, god, yeah, so that was the first episode of this Show!
Also, apparently Otto Octavius is back.
So, yay!
Hey!
Hello and welcome to the Show With Issues sequel, part two, continued, electric boogaloo
edition, I’m Auram, and happy anniversary everybody, but mostly me, because I’m the
one who puts all the work into these videos.
Even though you guys watch them and that’s kind of the point -- anyway, it’s fine.
I’ve now been doing this Show for two years and, despite some bumps along the way, we’re
still going strong!
I’m not gonna get all sappy on you guys, so let’s get right into the Spidey stuff!
So, originally, during Spider-Verse, Otto Octavius was bested in battle by Peter Parker
who was trying to send him back to his time period, wiping his memory of the event.
But, before he was sent back, he spoke to his Apple Watch and told it to do the thing.
She responded saying, “Entering sleep mode for 100 days and counting.”
This led us comic readers to believe that Otto had secretly plotted a contingency plan
in the background just in case he failed at some point in his mission.
This is basically what I covered in the first video, so if you’re confused, just go watch
that!
I don’t have time to regurgitate my own words!
Even though...
Anyway, fast forward that 100 days and counting and we’re in a whole new world! Peter’s
company, Parker Industries, has gone global, Laura Kinney is the Wolverine, and, uh, Doctor
Strange’s axe!
Anyway, after some Zodiac shenanigans and MJ wearing the Iron Spider suit, New U technologies
came out to play; a new medical procedure that basically brought people back to life
by cloning their dead bodies and, guess what, it was led by none other than the Jackal!
Oh no…
Peter started investigating this nefarious new tech and just as he was getting close,
Doctor Octopus shows up, apropos of nothing!
Well, not entirely.
Otto revealed that he had actually been body hopping since his defeat in Spider-Verse where
he uploaded a copy of his consciousness into his gauntlet.
It laid dormant for 100 days and then got to work trying to find a new host, aiming
for Peter again, but eventually settling on The Living Brain… who went haywire and was
shut down because of this, but not before Otto could, once again, slip away at the last
moment.
He then decided that he would use New U to clone his own body, bring it back to life,
and implant his consciousness into that host instead of Peter’s.
However, he discovered that his body, and many other of Spider-Man’s late Rogues’
gallery’s, bodies had gone missing from their graves!
After a little more sleuthing, Otto realized that this was because the Jackal had been
buying up the bodies and bringing them back to life, including Otto’s.
So he popped on by, implanted his consciousness in the body, fought the remains of Peter’s
consciousness because of their whole Freaky Friday ordeal, and started working for the
Jackal because if he didn’t, his body would turn to goop!
So, yeah, Otto is back, guys!
And that’s not all; as recent as Clone Conspiracy #3, we’ve seen that he’s working on new,
perfect host bodies, presumably so he can get back to being the Superior Spider-Man!
Fun stuff!
What do you guys think?
Should Otto have stayed dead or are you excited for his inevitable return as another member
in the ever growing Spider-Family?
Let’s talk about it in the comments!
Oh, and before you go, don’t forget to turn on your bell notifications on for the channel
because I’m gonna do a LIVE two-year anniversary Q&A on February 4th at 7 PM Central Standard
Time.
I’ll probably do more than just Q&A, maybe play some games and have some people over.
