While I agree that Octavius taking up the Spider-Man mantle is at least interesting, Nausiated, don't you find problem with the changing bodies plot point? They took the character who is known as the young person superhero, and put a creepy, middle-aged man's brain in his body. Octavius may end up a Superior Spider-Man, but he is by no means going to pass as a Peter Parker. And if he does, think about what that means - this guy knew every intricate detail about the life of an individual 20-something in New York. That's stalking on another level. Or maybe no one realizes, or just thinks he's acting strange. That means the closest people in his life were actually quite distant. And every time he has a personal moment with Aunt May, we know it's not real; every time he has an intimate moment with Mary Jane, it's legally a rape.

I haven't read the issue yet either, but I can guarantee you one of Octavius' motives here is to screw over his arch-nemesis, and then do the ultimate injustice by galavanting around as him and have sex with his girlfriend. I'd do it.
