Synopsis for "Still Standing"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Superior Spider-Man #20
Several months ago, mere moments after Doctor Octopus died in his final battle against Spider-Man, a person awakens from a coma, asking for Otto Octavius, only to scream in despair after hearing the news about his death. Before that, Julia Carpenter was suddenly giving vague warnings that all the Spiders will die. In the present day, Otto swings in his patrol, heading for another date with his girlfriend, Anna Maria Marconi, only to bump into the Black Cat, who was committing a robbery. Felicia attempts to flirt, but suddenly Otto attacks her, punching her straight into her face, taking out a tooth in the process. Felicia, shocked, asks what had gotten into him and that they've always had a sort of dance. Otto continues the assault, reminiscing about how he once tried to kill her but now he's just apprehending her as a criminal, leaving Felicia totally shocked and angry, swearing revenge after Otto wraps her in webbing.

Otto arrives to Anna Maria's apartment for their date, taking her to the roof where he set up a picnic over a new and improved spider-web, talking to her about how he must keep improving with his life and now the time has come to do it, proposing to her a business partnership with his own company: Parker Industries. The next morning, May and Jonah Sr. talk about this news while waiting for her therapy for her leg after Sha Shan's patient, who is the person that woke from the coma months earlier, leaves and claims to be ready and better. Hours later, May, Jonah Sr, Sajani and Otto sign the paperwork to start the new endeavor.

Meanwhile, Carlie talks to Detective Watanabe, claiming that she now holds enough evidence to bring down "Spider-Man", ready to show this new evidence straight to the Avengers, while thanking her. Afterwards, she calls Mary Jane, leaving a voicemail warning her to stay away from "Peter" and warn the others. Mary Jane heads into the Fire Station, ready to ask for a date with Pedro Olivera, the firefighter who saved her when her nightclub burned down, only to bump with his dog, but still manages to get a date with him.

At E.S.U., Otto is ready to present his thesis and earn his doctorate, revealing his new nano-technology to manipulate internal and external mechanical appendages by brainwaves, leaving the deans impressed, except Professor Lamaze who stands up and confronts "Peter", revealing that his work is plagiarized, since he knows that the basic theories and mechanisms are the work of Otto Octavius, leaving him completely in shock for this mistake. Lamaze swears that "Peter's" chances for a doctorate are over while Otto promises that he must end Lamaze if he wants to regain success.

At Avenue B., the person who woke from the coma enters a back alley, where a secret laboratory lies inactive, revealing that the person is Angelina Brancale, a former assistant and lover to Doctor Octopus, swearing revenge against Spider-Man for his death.

Blackout intends to make a name for himself as an assassin and since Peter Parker is known to build technology for Spider-Man he kidnaps his Aunt May. Otto finds out about this through the Spider-Bot he put to guard May and Blackout later contacts him saying that he wants him to sabotage Spider-Man's equipment so he can kill him more easily. Enraged Otto obtains information about Blackout from Daniel Ketch and violently attacks the half-demon and after freeing May, defeats him and violently tortures him, using him as an example for what happens to those who harm Peter Parker and his family.

Synopsis for "A Day in Someone Else's Life"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Superior Spider-Man Team-Up #1
An organized group of criminals attempt to maul a couple in an alley, but Cloak and Dagger soon arrive. Before the dup can fight them, Spider-Man arrives, causing the criminals to run. Cloak shouts at Spider-Man, as they had the situation under control, but then Spidey punches Dagger. Later Spidey is seen fighting Daredevil.

Seeing this on the news, Captain America informs the other Avengers that Spider-Man must be taken down for his recent attacks as well as his abnormal behavior over the past several weeks. In the meantime, Spider-Man is seen going after Gravity, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and Ant-Man, each time with a big gun slung over his shoulder. The Avengers then arrive and start to attack Spider-Man, with Hulk and Thor eventually restraining him. Spidey tells Iron Man to not open his faceplate, but it is revealed that Stark is not even in the armor. Just then, Hyperion destroys the armor.

Spider-Man reveals to the Avengers that Hyperion is possessed by Carrion. Carrion has been jumping from hero to hero in order to conquer with a hero's body (which is why Spider-Man was attacking the other heroes). Spider-Man must shoot Hyperion if Carrion is to be defeated. He and the Avengers fight Hyperion, but they don't trust Spidey to fire the gun, as they think that the blast will also kill Hyperion (which is what they think Spidey wants). Spider-Man says it won't, and Cap gives him permission to use the gun. Spidey fires, defeating Carrion and saving Hyperion.

Though he has regained his trust in the Avengers, Spider-Man still does not see them as allies. He needs to have his own team, and it is revealed that he has captured several Sinister Six members in order to achieve whatever plan he is thinking of.

Meanwhile, Carrion is talking to the Jackal about some plans. Their first step: kill Spider-Man.
