Walt

CBR: Remember Peter Parker? Brown hair, a little nerdy, internationally beloved pop culture icon?

As you are very likely familiar with, a circa late 2012 Dan Slott-written storyline saw perennial nemesis Doctor Octopus switched brains with an unwilling Spider-Man, just before Doc Ock’s ailing body met its seemingly permanent end. Things looked just about as bad as they could get for Spidey, but a shred of Peter Parker’s consciousness…
