Dying Wish: Difference between revisions

*A variation of the "Dying Wish" arc appeared in the second season of the 2017 ''[[Spider-Man (2017 TV series)|Spider-Man]]'' animated series. In "Between an Ock and a Hard Place", Doctor Octopus manipulated [[Lady Octopus|Carolyn Trainer]] into stealing crystals for a modified version of his NeuroCortex device, battling Spider-Man with the aid of his Octobots. However, Carolyn turns on Doc Ock and stopped his master plan to enhance his mind, rendering the villain in a coma. Doc Ock transferred his mind into machinery to stay alive, but trapped inside a digital world. Impersonating himself as a shadowy figure, he coerces the [[Chameleon (comics)|Chameleon]] into placing a bounty on Spider-Man, forcing the hero to battle the likes of [[Hippo (comics)|Hippo]], Panda-Mania, [[Overdrive (comics)|Overdrive]], the [[Spot (comics)|Spot]], [[Mysterio]], [[Jack O'Lantern (Marvel Comics)|Jack O'Lantern]], the [[Prowler (Marvel Comics)|Prowler]], [[Silvermane]], [[Electro (Marvel Comics)|Electro]], and the Chameleon in the mutlimulti-episode arc "Bring On the Bad Guys". After this, Doc Ock takes over the [[Living Brain]] body and feigns supporting Spider-Man and Miles Morales, knocking out the latter and revealing himself as the mastermind behind the bounty. He frames Spider-Man for the destruction of OsCorp property and follows him to the Supervillain Holding Facility, goading Spider-Man into a final battle. Spider-Man (suffering from exhaustion due to the various villains he encountered) and Doc Ock swap bodies, with Doc Ock (in Spider-Man's body) vowing to rejuvenate his quest for power. However, Octavius is swayed to become a hero by Peter's memories of Uncle Ben while Peter manages to download his consciousness into Octavius's tentacles, prompting Octavius to transfer Peter back into his own body before the tentacles can destroy his consciousness. Octavius is returned to his body and acts as a hero for a time, but sacrifices himself helping Spider-Man stop the new Goblin Nation, led by Adrian Toomes using Osborn's old equipment.
