Chapter 2 - Otto Superior

Otto threw himself into genetics. Being a scientific genius, with the stolen technologies of Mr Sinister, the Dark Beast and the Jackal, he became every bit as brilliant as them in genetics.

After many attempts, Otto managed to solve a difficult problem that every super-geneticist could not solve, namely how to incorporate many powers into one body.

If it were so easy, a geneticist like Mr Sinister could literally have every power of every mutant he got his hands on. However it was not so easy.

If one copies the power of an Omega level mutant, adding another one will burn out your body due to the tremendous amount of power in one Omega mutant. Exceptions like Onslaught or Legion were rare because their bodies could take the strain. More likely than not, the huge amount of energies will burn out their bodies like Proteus, needing to take new hosts all the time.

He also dared not try to take over a Omega level mutant, especially telepaths, as he calculated that he would lose out in a battle of wills, like he did in Peter's body.

Otto found a very interesting subject named Louis Dexter, aka Dead Ringer. He was one of Captain America's foes who had the power to mimic any person and his/her powers upon touching their bodies. However he could only mimic one power at a time.

Louis literally kept a box full of other villain's dead fingers to continuously use their powers and guises.

A few months later, stood looking a body inside a healing chamber.

The body was a newly cloned body of himself/Peter Parker, without the degenerative weakness. On top of Peter’s Spider-man powers, the body had Louis Dexter’s powers as well.

However, like the Frankenstein monster, the body had stitches all over his body.

The body still looked like Peter Parker, but there were many things strange about him. Besides the fact that he had stitches around the base of his penis and all his fingers and toes, his tongue and tip of his penis was more purple than normal, and his eyes looked strange.

The tip of the glans of his penis and his tongue was more purple colored rather than the normal pink.

That was because he had replaced it with parts of another Peter Parker clone that had the powers of Zebediah Killgrave, the Purple man. His purple skin released pheromones that made anyone in his vicinity obey his every command.

Of course, Otto could have directly transplanted parts from the kidnapped Purple Man. But Otto found him “inferior”, thus he cloned a Peter Parker with Purple Man’s powers, just to chop of that clone’s penis glans and tongue to transplant it onto his “Superior” clone.

The eyes of the prime clone looked strange as it was white, with what looked like many black pupils moving around his eyes uncontrollably.

His eyes were replaced with that of a clone with Johnathan Ohnn, aka Spot’s powers. Spot had the power to create wormholes and change dimensions.

The skin of his index fingers and toes were that of a Peter Parker clone with Kim Il Sung, aka Scrambler’s powers. This mutant Marauder had the power to scramble the function of any living being, machine or even field of energy. This allows him to disable superpowers using his touch, as well as cause paralysis, unconsciousness or even death.

The skin on his middle fingers and toes on each side were from the clone of Peter that had the powers of the mutant Masque. Masque had the power to change the flesh of anyone he touches, making healing his body easy if he so wished. This ability also allowed him to shapeshift at will, and together with his abilities of Dead Ringer, not even Wolverine or Daredevil would be able to differentiate him from the real person.

The skin on his ring fingers and toes, one on each side were that of a clone of Peter that had the powers of  Jason Wyngarde, aka Mastermind. He had the mutant power to cast illusions and memory manipulation.

The skin on his little fingers and toes, one on each side were that of a clone of Peter with Jacob Gavin Jr, aka Courier, who was a shapeshifter who even Mr Sinister stole his shapeshifting powers from.

There were even stitches around his nipples. Each nipples were cut off and transplanted from a a different person. His right side was from the nipple of a clone of Susan Storm, aka Invisible Woman of the Fantastic Four. The left side was from the nipple of Jean Grey aka Phoenix of the X-Men.

All around in the different capsules were the above mentioned clones of Peter Parker, as well as one of Jean Grey and Susan Storm, with their different powers, kept in suspended animation.

The body parts removed from each clone were slowly healing in their individual tanks. Even the purple skinned clone of Peter Parker, with Zebediah Killgrave's powers was regenerating it's tongue and tip of his penis.

Otto stared at the clone before deciding “Yes, now is the time. I’m ready” he thought.

He removed the Alpha clone, as he referred to it and placed the naked body on a table.

He attached his brain exchanging device on himself and the clone and lay down on his own table.

His Octopus hands detached itself from his body and initiated the machine. In an instant, his mind was transferred into the Alpha clone.

Slowly, he sat up groaning from the pain, especially from his eyes, tongue and penis. His Octopus arms immediately merged into his spine and picked up his weak body.

Robotic octopus arms extended out his back, moving about at his will, like his own arms. No matter what body, or how he looked, he still had a mental attachment to his octopus arms. It was still proof of his identity, an integral part of who he was.

Half an hour later, he looked at his new nude body in the mirror, looking at the stitches on certain body parts. His body was carried by his octopus arms coming out from his back.

He had finally controlled his eyeballs which had multiple pupils originally, viewing from multiple angles. Now his eyes finally looked normal again.

"Although it hurt like hell, with these new powers, I can easily heal my wounds" he mumbled with his swollen tongue.

As his new body was that of Louis Dexter, he could use any power he wanted as long as he touched that body part. Normally, he would transform into the image of that person as well.

Now that those parts that he wanted are grafted onto his body, he could access all these other powers at will, yet having Peter Parker’s powers as his base power.

However, he had altered the genes of Louis Dexter, so that he could use the abilities of a person without changing his appearance if he so wished.

The Purple Man's powers also gave him enhanced healing abilities, as witnessed by his body healing his scars right before his eyes in the mirror.

Based on his calculations and genetic splicing, he calculated how many powers he could use at the same time, yet retaining his Spiderman abilities.

All his powers required only short bursts of energy, together with his superior and superhuman strength and stamina which allowed him to use these abilities indefinitely.

For example, using Spot's powers to create small portals, Masque's changing someone's flesh, Scrambler scrambling someone's powers, Purple Man's mind manipulation together with Phoenix's telepathy would only be used in short bursts. Mastermind's illusions would only be used in a small area while Invisible Woman's invisibility and force fields would be used for short periods. He certainly wouldn't use them as his main power, unlike the original owners of those powers.

Furthermore, all the abilities he had had a permanent effect, unless he himself reverses them, saving himself a constant drain of energy.

"Now, I am ready to take over. Ready or not Peter, I'm coming for you" sneered Otto as he stored his previous Superior Octopus clone body together with his other clones.

As for all the kidnapped villains he cloned and copied the powers from, they were released back into the city once sufficient DNA was extracted from them, leaving them none the wiser.
