Okay so I just had a MAJOR revelation. For a while now, I was thinking about how Otto's body was missing since Superior Spider-Man, circa pre-Goblin Nation. Not just that, but how Peter's consciousness survived for the whole series. Reflecting upon Clone Conspiracy #1, I have a theory.

What if the Doc Ock we just saw ISN'T the same Doc Ock from ASM Volume 4? What if it's a Doc Ock who's consciousness is from pre-Dying Wish?

Because apparently these people are being revived from DNA from their bodies, and Slott has been planning this event for a while, what if Jackal took the body all that time ago, and revived Ock then as one of his first? Doc Ock's consciousness would still be in there, if Peter's remained in his body even after the transfer.

This means that Living Brain Doc might transfer himself into a cloned body of Peter's, because that's his goal, not to go back to his old body. Maybe Superior Spider-Man will actually fight Doc Ock, himself!
