Marvel Comics Universe and Superior Octopus #1 Spoilers follows.

Dr. Otto Octavius New Status Quo, Secret Empire Hydra Fallout and More Revealed In Prelude To Spider-Geddon Also Sets Up New Superior Spider-Man Series!

Remember that this variant is supposed to look like 2013’s Superior Spider-Man #1 cover that also featured Doctor Otto Octavius under the mask.

The book opens with a storyline catch-up and creator credits pages although…

…most of this book feels like its intended to catch-up readers on what’s up with the former Doctor Octopus before he headlines his new ongoing series in November 2018 called Superior Spider-Man.

Anyhow, while Peter Parker the Amazing Spider-Man is on the East Coast, looks like Otto is on the West Coast both as a hero and as a university Professor by the name of Dr. Tolliver.

His body is clone of Peter Parker’s body, Spider-Man powers and all, with Doctor Octopus intellect. He doesn’t require as much sleep and rest as a human.

He yearns for more than academic research and super-heroing…

…and its possible he hasn’t been as careful as he should be with his Superior Octopus secret identity.

You may recall that during Secret Empire he aligned with Hydra and they now want their pound of flesh for him turning his back on them.

The Superior Octopus beats Arnim Zola with his brain and his Hydra agents with his brawn over seveal pages…

…setting up his next adventure.
