8 Worst Things Doc Ock Has Ever Done To Spider-Man

1. He Swapped Bodies With Peter, And Left Him To Die

Although this scheme did eventually lead to Ock's own redemption, few would have considered that was possible at the time.

Dan Slott presided over a somewhat tumultuous time for the wall-crawler, but things couldn't have gotten anymore horrific than they did when Ock successfully managed to swap bodies with Peter Parker, and left his greatest rival to die alone in his disease-addled cadaver. It was brutal, and somehow felt almost too cruel for Ock, who had nothing but the upmost respect for his adversary over the years, but it happened. He won.

Or so... that's what fans thought. In a final twist, it is revealed that Peter managed to impart some final words of advice to his villain, begging him to use his newfound power responsibly, even as he initially intended to use Parker's body for evil.

Eventually, this would lead into the Superior Spider-Man series, where Ock vowed to be a new and improved version of the web-slinger, and to become a better hero than Peter ever could. See, told you it had a happy(ish?) ending.
