comment
The major Spider-Man storyline of 2012, and part of the 50th anniversary of Spider-Man's first appearance.Otto Octavius is dying. Thanks to the various injuries suffered in fights against Spider-Man, Captain America and others, Doctor Octopus has found his body failing him and after months of failing to find a cure, he has instead decided to focus on the legacy he will leave behind - Otto Octavius has found a way to stop Global Warming. Supposedly. Spider-Man doesn't trust him, for good reason. If Octavius is lying or not is irrelevant - he's holding the world hostage with his dying breath.What price will Spider-Man have to pay to stop him and buy the world another day?And what if Doctor Octopus is telling the truth?Notably, this story was the final appearance of Big Hero 6 in the Marvel Universe before they were spun off into their own separate franchise.note The final mentions of their existence, however, occurred in the sixth and seventh issues of All-New Invaders, released months before the movie.

Only Sane Man: Spider-Man, the Avengers and the folks at Horizon Labs, are seemingly the only ones who realise that Octavius is lying. Maybe.

Bittersweet Ending: Spider-Man is proven right about Octavius's true intentions, and he manages to stop the Octavian Lense from going online. However, Rhino dies when Otto floods the Octathedral and Rhino pins Sable down as the water level rises, intending to drown her and himself. According to Madame Webb, however, Sable is alive. Worst of all, it's not over. This story serves as a set-up for Ock's return as the Superior Spider-Man.

The Reveal: After 5 issues of ambiguity regarding Ock's intentions, if Spider-Man was right about Ock planning to use it to take everyone with him as he dies or Otto genuinely intends to eradicate global warming, the final issue reveals that Ock plans neither - he's going to use it to only kill most of the people on Earth, with the remaining 0.08% rebuilding Earth & remembering him as the greatest monster in human history.

Finger Poke of Doom: In the first issue, when Ock is thinking about all the injuries he's sustained over the years, one of the injuries is being casually flicked away by Joe Fixit. His internal monologue indicates that it was possibly one of the worst blows he'd ever received.

Out-of-Character Moment: Some people saw Spidey's willingness to let Silver Sable drip acid onto Sandman to get him to talk as this; he himself admits it's too much for him and six billion lives were at stake, but Peter's usually one to find a better way.

Didn't Think This Through: The dying Doc Ock plans to flash-fry the Earth, leaving approximately .08 percent of humanity to live on and remember him as the greatest monster that ever lived. He suffers a Villainous Breakdown when Spidey points out a glaring flaw in the plan: none of the survivors will remember him because their brains will be flash-fried as well, leaving them brain-dead.

Villainous Breakdown
 Ends of the Earth (Comic Book) / int_957e5fc2
comment
Villainous Breakdown: The entire story arc can be seen as Doc Ock's breakdown in the face of certain inevitable death, but he really starts falling apart when Peter claims that his goal to be remembered as history's greatest monster by the survivors of his scheme is futile because the "survivors'" brains will be cooked, leaving them brain-dead. Doc Ock starts fumbling around with his equipment in denial that he miscalculated, giving Peter a window of opportunity.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain
 Ends of the Earth (Comic Book) / int_acf33d00
comment
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Spider-Man, Silver Sable & Black Widow were going to fight Doc Ock to the bitter end, unaware it was really Chameleon in a Doc Ock suit, until the real Otto took over & clued them in it was that was just an imposter. When Spider-Man, Silver Sable, Black Widow & Mysterio fight the mind-controlled Avengers, Ock keeps jumping from Avenger to Avenger as his current puppet is defeated due to Ock not knowing how to best fight to their strengths, eventually reaching Thor, which then causes him to drop Mjölnir as Ock isn't worthy of holding it. Plus, in a literal example of the villain fixing it, Mysterio is the one who manages to free the Avengers from the Octo-bots.
