Spider-Man's mental duplicate confronts Doc Ock's.
Unfortunately Otto manages to win and come back to life. However, the Octobot runs out of energy and the digital Anna Maria deactivates. Otto realizes that the pills the Jackal gives to the clones are only a temporary remedy, as he cannot find a permanent way to stop the clones from melting and dying. Otto therefore agrees to help him.
