Superior Spider-Man

Superior Spider-Man was introduced as part of a controversial story arc that climaxed in 2012’s Amazing Spider-Man #700. In the story, Otto Octavius is dying of cancer and swaps minds with Peter Parker, taking over Peter’s body while letting the young man’s mind seemingly perish in his own dying form (don’t worry, everyone got better). While inhabiting Peter’s life, he transforms into the Superior Spider-Man in an attempt to be a better hero than his rival, and Octavius/Peter becomes an uncompromising warrior against injustice… no matter the cost.
