My only issues with what Spock is doing is that he doesn't have the legal right. Aside from the illegality of his actions I approve of what he's doing.
EDIT: I approve regarding the Sinister Six, not regarding his other actions.
Legal rights are about the last thing I would associate with Superior Spider-Man from the very start. Nothing he's done has really been "legally right."
I really like Superior Spidey Team-Up. Not only does it pretty much completely sidestep the skeeviness of Ock romping around in a Peter Parker meatsuit, but also it really goes whole hog on the idea of Spider-Ock as a dude who just keeps having transparently awful/villainous ideas and is headed for a hard fall. Like, Sun Girl waking up in Spidey's base and assuming it's the lair of an arch-villain, because it kind of is, is pretty amusing. Plus, the art on this book has, imo been consistently better than that on the main Spidey title, or at least more to my taste.
I fully expected the issue to end with the reveal that Chameleon or Mysterio had swapped places with someone/each other though in order to get out of the specialized cells, so it felt like a bit of an anti-climax not to see something like that. Also, I was pretty disappointed that they teased us with a Spider-Man 2099/Superior Spider-Man team-up story only to not actually deliver. Overall though I enjoyed this.
Have faith still...that line about the cells being specifically engineered for them individually was such a telegraph that either Mysterion or Chameleon are gonna be the ones to bust them out all it needed was a pigeon to carry it ;)
When did the tentacle/iron-spidey arms make a return?
So... our favourite webslinger has grown an array of extra limbs, moves like Octavius, speaks like him, has the kind of base that make most super-villains jealous *and* is going around with his old crew?

EVEN WITH THE BLINKERS ON IT'S STARTING TO SCREAM "HEY! HEY! I TOOK OVER PARKER'S BODY!!!!"
Just because he's resorted to murder, blackmial, and mind control, has a high tech headquarters, minions, giant robots, and a group of supervillains under his control, has mechanical arms and has become arrogant, pompous, overbearing, and offensive....
I'm sorry, where was I going with this? Because he is failing SO HARD at not being evil.
Poor poor Mysterion. Just a regular thug who just thought purchasing the Mysterio costume from Hobgoblin would be a kick. Now this is his fate. Poor guy.
I think it might have been better to dial Ock back some. Even people watching the news at home have got to be saying, "Why is Doc Ock wearing a Spider-Man costume?" by now.
I've wondered if Spider-Man would ever get his own version of Jason Todd. Someone who would say to Peter "I'm going to show you what 'With great power comes great responsibility' really means!"
Never thought that would be Otto Octavius taking over Peter Parker's body, though. I was actually considering a resurrected Gwen Stacy. Hey, if they can bring Bucky Barnes *and* Jason Todd back....
So... Spidey supervillain pretending to be a superhero assembles team of other supervillains and tries to do good but is ultimately just as crazy as ever. Can Norman Osborn sue SpOck for stealing his act?
Because this way he can imply that all he needs is to push a button or flick a switch and their containment pod becomes a death trap, then a coffin. Much more intimidating that way.
