What Happened To Everyone Who Killed Spider-Man?

Dan Slott's Dying Wish arc of 2012 was a monumental one, changing the very foundations of Spider-Man in a truly jarring manner.

In Dying Wish, Peter Parker was in some ways dead, some ways in limbo, and in other ways very much alive.

To clear things, this tale found a terminally ill Doctor Octopus who was racing towards the Grim Reaper at an alarming rate. Forever with a plan, Otto managed to swap consciousnesses with Peter.

That meant that Parker's conscious was in Octavius' dying body, while the mind of Doc Ock was in the fit 'n' healthy body of Spider-Man. As such, Parker experienced death; just it was in someone else's body.

The body of Peter Parker was alive and well, just with Doctor Octopus housed in it. As for the body that Peter's conscious had been switched to, that was now a heap of bones and lifeless flesh - leading to his conscious becoming a trapped spirit in the Ock-controlled body of Parker.

A tad confusing at a first glance, but this all worked brilliantly as Otto embarked on a mission to be a better Spider-Man than Peter Parker could dream of.

That Doc Ock iteration of 'Superior' Spider-Man managed to get his own 44-issue comic book title, before Otto Octavius finally allowed Peter to have his body back.
