Poor Otto.

Peter doesn't trust him.

Gwen fired him to maintain her cover.

Harry takes him for granted.

I know the villain turn is inevitable but they really all brought this on themselves.



Also, I just found out who the other female Mysterio is and I'm really starting to question to loyalty of this secret society. I get why 80%* of them would be close to Fisk but that's a little too close.

*100%? I'm unclear on what Beck's day job / cover is.

Wait, so Harry isn't dead?

Does Peter know?

[blues32]

No way. If not even Fisk is aware, there's no way Peter knows.

[blues32]

Not seen here: AI Norman ripping Harry a new one because Harry makes bad decisions when choosing a personal AI.

Can't fault this Ultimate Otto looking a bit like the time 616 Otto was using the name " Elliot Tolliver " - it was a good enough look.

Unimportant spoiler for next issue: Otto would in fact steal Peter's slippers.

[lbd_nytetrayn]

Ah, makes sense... mostly.

I forget, did they know he was GG?

[akodo_rokku]

He knows as of the moment Harry calls him there.

Literally putting your abusive father's voice in your ear is certainly a very Harry Osborn choice.

I hope this version of Otto never goes fully bad. I like this depiction of him as a reasonably amiable "mad scientist" who just has Really Keen Ideas and Needs Funding. Like, keep paying him to do his thing and he'll be fine. He's certainly lacking some of the 616 version's overtly aggressive egotism.

[blues32]

Sad that the mentally healthiest version of Harry Osborn in comics turned out to be a clone. ...and it JUST hit me that his son Stanley will have never really known his dad.

[blues32]

I feel like he's going to snap. He clearly looks ready to. Harry isn't treating him seriously at all. Dismissing his request for a reactor like that. "First thing on my to-do list" seems so insincere.

[blues32]

I really do wish 616 Otto would try and get into shape. Dude leads a dangerous lifestyle and he already died once because of it...not that he remembers anymore.

[blues32]

Out of spite because he was told not to or did they just really look comfortable?

[scorntx]

Yes.
And also probably because they were there.

[scorntx]

Oh, dear. Hickman's starting to Hickman again...


Anyone else wondering what might happen with the Mysterios if one of them were to die without passing on their power?
(Guessing that if it did happen, it's probably not going to be a case of all the other Mysterios become fractionally more powerful.)

Also... does it count as agency if Gwen's a supervillain (well, morally ambiguous anti-villain) if she inherited it from her dad and is working with a bunch of other people?
