This looks bad for our hero! Let\u2019s get right to it, as Spidey helps load The Nullifier into Doc Ock\u2019s van and they all depart.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But as the van speeds off, the \u201cisotopic element\u201d in The Nullifier begins to overheat. Ock guesses that\u2019s why they were bringing it to Stark, for repairs, but he\u2019s confident he can do anything Tony Stark can. What level is Doc Ock supposed to be on, anyway? I guess I never thought of it, but he is kind of a super genius. Where\u2019s he rate? Spider-Man notes to himself that he knows a lot more about science than the average person should as Ock gets to examining his prize. They reach Ock\u2019s hideout, which Spidey notes he doesn\u2019t think of as \u201cour hideout,\u201d and after hours of work, Ock decides he knows what\u2019s wrong. The Nullifier requires \u201cIsotope 16,\u201d kept at nearby Ft. Tyson. He tells Spider-Man he\u2019s gonna go steal it for him. Spidey doesn\u2019t like that. Then Ock tells him to take his mask off. Spidey realizes Ock should know who he is already if they\u2019re partners, and while he doesn\u2019t understand the buzzing in his head, he\u2019s headed in the right direction.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otto ends the fight by saying he was \u201cjust testing\u201d his partner, and that works. He shows Spidey some blueprints of Fort Tyson and then sends him on his way to steal the isotope. Spider-Man\u2019s more confused than ever, but goes along with it. Then we check in with Gwen & Harry, who, we\u2019re told, haven\u2019t seen Peter in days, as they go to visit Aunt May.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s kinda sad that Peter never managed to get a real science job until, like, 2012 or something. Aunt May is right. Meanwhile, at a meeting of law enforcement people to try to figure out how to get The Nullifier back, John Jameson gets some sage advice from one George Stacy, making his debut in the book, who has come out of retirement from the police force to consult on this. He gets a call from Gwen, worried that Peter is missing. He says he can check accident reports for her, and seems to know she\u2019s got feelings for Peter even if she herself hasn\u2019t decided yet. Speaking of Peter, Spider-Man is about to become an actual criminal as he sneaks into Fort Tyson\u2026
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Spidey webs up a whole bunch of soldiers and smashes out through a window, dropping his map in the process. He thinks to himself that he could\u2019ve easily webbed it up, but some part of him seems to want it to be found. And soon it is, and John Jameson, prepares his troops to go attack Doc Ock\u2019s house. Speaking of Jamesons, you\u2019d think JJJ would be pretty happy right now, but\u2026
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Never happy! A very sad Spider-Man returns to Doc Ock, feeling ashamed and wondering what kind of criminal he is. Ock is delighted, which only makes Spidey more uneasy. Then one of the goons notes that Spidey didn\u2019t bring back the map, and when Ock is furious, Spidey responds in kind, and it\u2019s once again fightin\u2019 time.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Spidey webs Ock\u2019s feet to the floor, throwing him off balance and making him loosen his grip, but as the two old foes fight, the army shows up. Ock\u2019s goons out in the yard surrender immediately rather than get shot for Doctor Octopus (Who would? Why do any of these guys goon?), and then the authorities start tossing smoke grenades into the house. In the ensuing chaos, John Jameson gets ahold of The Nullifier. He sees Spider-Man seems conflicted, acting like he\u2019s in a trance, and turns The Nullifier on Doc Ock, rendering his arms useless.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the crisis is over, but our beleaguered hero still doesn\u2019t know who he is. Maybe Ka-Zar can help him figure it out next time. This was a pretty wacky Doc Ock story. Having Spidey get amnesia is a bit goofy, but it certainly made for an unusual twist on their never ending battle. Back in the letter page, a DC fan is extremely upset about\u2026 something or other\u2026?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
