Spider-Man in Marvel Now.
Well, to begin with,
we all know the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man whose secret identity is Peter Parker, don’t we? No? Well, here’s a clue: “With great power, there must also come
great responsibility”. Do you remember? Now, Superior Spider-Man, you would
be asking yourselves: “Who the *insert bad word here* is he?” well, Do you know
“Dr. Octavius”, better known as “Doctor Octopus”. Surprised? Ok, so here is the explanation, Dr.
Octopus found the way to transfer his memories and his “soul” (if we can call
it that way) to Peter Parker’s body and Peter Parker’s mind to Dr. Octopus body
which is the body of an old and sick man in the throes of death, but before the
Dr. Octopus body finally succumb to the death, Peter made his move, making his
and Otto’s memories link between them to make Otto see all the suffer and pain
Peter has had to handle by himself, the death of uncle Ben, being responsible
for the death of Gwen Stacy, the death of the Human Torch, joining Iron Man during the superheroes
Civil War, etc.
Civil War, etc.
Finally, Doc. Oc
realized that Peter has suffered a lot and then he said: “I swear. I will be
Spider-Man. Better yet, with my unparalleled genius, and my boundless ambition,
I’ll be a better Spider-Man than you ever were. From this day forth, I shall
become… the Superior Spider-Man”. And that’s how Doc. Oc started a new life,
with the memories of Pete and the will of protect the people… but, Otto has a
different point of view about protecting people or defeating villains, for
example, if a villain has committed a crime with a high rank of cruelty he
doesn’t deserve to be in jail, the villain deserves to die. It’s a different
point of view about the punishment a villain deserves, but to be honest, there
are some villains who doesn’t deserve to be treated as humans, yes, they might
have mental disorders and they can be treated, but if there’s no psychosis in the middle, that
means that the villain killed, robbed, etc., knowing what he was doing and that’s
how Otto fights the crime in Manhattan.
Sometimes, in the “The
Superior Spider-Man” comic, Peter Parker’s spirit appears in Otto’s mind while
he is working or fighting to say what he would do and then… Otto does it
better, but it’s not a surprise, because Otto is an ex villain and he knows
exactly what the villain he is fighting is going to do, besides he has the very
well known “Spider
Sense” to prevent the enemy’s movements.
Until Now, I have
only said what I’ve read or what I can remember about the comics of “The
Amazing Spider-Man” and “The
Superior Spider-Man”.
By the way, all the
superheroes, villains and characters mentioned before, are from the Marvel
Universe, to be more specific, the 616
Earth, which is the mainstream marvel universe, with the same countries,
movie stars, singers and that stuff.
