Description
After giving Spidey a temporary antidote (PPSSM #220, '95), Dr. Octopus spies on the Parkers' brownstone where MJ tells Peter that she's pregnant. Although ecstatic, Peter is heartsick over May's continued coma and becomes dizzy at a romantic restaurant dinner. Spotting Ock outside, he challenges him as Spider-Man. Claiming he needs his longtime adversary to justify his existence, Ock takes Spidey to his lab to search for a virus cure, even as, in Central Park, Kaine warns Stunner to stay away from Octopus. In the lab, Ock mixes up an antidote but when Peter drinks it, he collapses. His soul apparently leaves his body, encounters the late Nick Katzenberg, and talks with Aunt May's still earthbound spirit who tells him, like Peter Pan, to follow a star, "second to the right and straight on till morning." Peter's soul rises up to meet the light.
