Doctor Octopus returns!
He appears to be controlled by Fusion, via a computer virus that infiltrates and controls cybernetic limbs. However, Ock wasn’t really under Fusion’s control–he was faking it, just to get close enough to steal radiation-tracking technology from Fusion. The tech was supposed to be able to identify and track Spider-Man via his radiation signature.
Fusion starts activating his cyber-limb virus and people with cybernetic arms start losing them. This alerts Spider-Man that Fusion’s tech company is sinister, and he investigates (briefly with Daredevil, who has a cameo).
Fusion and Ock fight Spider-Man, who escapes.
Later, Ock turns on Fusion and beats him nearly to death, and takes the radiation-tracking device.
He leaves Fusion’s beaten body hanging with four stolen prosthetic limbs attached to it–giving Fusion an 8-limbed body.
Fusion is beat up so bad that he never appears again.
Then, Spider-Man beats up Ock and gets the device back, turning it over to SHIELD.
Solid action sequences, a good plot that keeps moving and has enough twists to keep the interest…A well done story overall.
God the art is so good. Jenkins wrote a particularly savage Ock and that will be shown again when the book transitions into Spectacular Spider-Man.
