Octavius adjusts slowly to life in Peter Parker's body, but enjoys assuming Spider-Man's identity. Facing off against a new Sinister Six, he loses his temper, offended by the idea of third-rate villains he considers so far beneath him taking on the name of the group he founded years ago. He takes them down in an especially violent manner, only stopping at the last minute before beating Boomerang to death. He doesn't understand why he stopped, not yet realizing that some portion of Peter Parker's consciousness remains in his brain.
