As to whether or not this is rape, the question to ask is does this feel icky or wrong. If the answer to one is yes the answer to the other usually is yes too.

Did anyone out there watch the similar storyline when it played out in fringe? The main heroine Olivia Dunham was replaced by her doppelganger from a parallel universe for spy purposes. To get what she needed she seduced Peter Bishop who had an ongoing will they wont they genuine love budding with the original Olivia. When it was revealed that the woman he had been sleeping with was fake it left all parties involved feeling violated and skeeved out. Even the doppleganger spy. It was supposed to make the audience feel weird and it did.

To be honest it doesn't surprise me that Ock would have sex on his mind. He's always been a fat nerd, and has spent the better part of the last year dying. Now he's a handsome young superhero. A better way for this scenario to play out would start off with him trying to seduce MJ, and then stop himself thinking about the unfortunate implications of rape by fraud. Like in Fringe this type of story is meant to make you feel uncomfortable. Maybe Ock well feel as bad as us the audience and say something to the effect that "Petty carnal lust is beneath The Master Planner. I am a Superior spider-man I dont need to rely on this fraud." As best as i can remember Ock's never been a lecherous old man. We've seen 100 "Villain in the heroes place causes havok" stories. I think the interesting thing with the Spidey-Ock story would be seeing if being a hero could semi redeem Doc Ock. Maybe realizing how much of a ass he's being would start Ock down a better path.
