Dr. Otto Octavius, known as Doc Ock, upon finding himself dying swaps minds with Peter Parker. This gave him Parker's experiences and his need to be Spider-Man and remember that the greater the power the higher the responsibility. So Doc Ock became Superior Spider-Man and has taken over Peter Parker's but not in control though he can influence Doc Ock He keeps trying to get back together with Mary Jane Watson who wants to take it slowly. But he isn't interested in going slow with her for very long. Also, Claire, who works for the NYPD and was there when Doc Ock died has a memory of Doc Ock saying to not kill him because he is Spider-Man. But Claire is recovering from the Vulture's attack and staying with Mary Jane for a while. She is the only one to sense that something might be off. Spider-Man will go up against the Vulture and his minions and decide to go back to college in order to get his doctorate because he can't abide being called Dr. Peter Parker. Doc Ock makes improvements to his way of doing things like with the spider bots and with his time management. Parker is still trying to control Doc Ock and he is barely keeping him from killing anyone.
Jester and Screwball make a fool out of J.Jonah Jameson at a press conference and he asks his "pal" Spider-man to hunt them down for him. He is happy to oblige. Meanwhile, the Avengers are concerned about Spider-Man and want to kick him out of the Avengers. Wolverine pipes up and says that they all have blood on their hands and suddenly they're going to hold Spider-Man to a different standard? So they decide to wait a while and see where he goes.
Where he goes is to beat Jester and Screwball within an inch of their lives. And then he goes after Cardiac a man who isn't really a bad guy but sometimes steals stuff, it turns out for his private hospital where they do experimental surgery on poor patients who can't afford it. He crosses Ock when he steals something that once belonged to Octavius; Ock puts a spider-bot on Cardiac so he can find out where he's going with it.
The Avengers have had it and demand a physical which makes Peter inside Ock happy because he believes they will find him inside Ock. Only they don't. But they warn him he is close to being kicked out of the Avengers. Meanwhile, MJ is wondering why Peter hasn't tried to contact her so she looks him up and he's all brushing her off. Ock has found another woman from his Med school classes named Marie Claire. And Ock has finally realized that Peter is inside his head so he goes about to get rid of him but Peter intends to fight him with everything he has.
This was a great comic in that it showed Ock at his worst and his best, actually helping people. You almost like the guy. Almost, but not quite. Now if only Claire would come around Ock and pick up something that is wrong. Marie Claire is a sweet woman and a little person whose life is hard enough as it is that you wonder what she sees in Ock. And poor MJ who is used to Peter being there when she needs him and this time he's not. The artwork is amazing with pages where there are random squares scattered across the page indicating the delusional mind of Peter Parker. This is turning out to be a really good series and I give this book five out of five stars.
