Reviewplot: This issue supports one of my pet theories about super villains in the Marvel Universe. Whenever you read about a super villain in a comic book, they wind up losing. They have to (i guess), because if they win even once, the hero(es) of the book would be dead and there would be no more book. But every villain after a while starts to build up a track record that makes them look like losers who are too stupid to know when to quit. So my theory is that the villains are mostly successful pulling off small crimes all over the country, and it's only when they try to pull off their biggest schemes near New York City where the majority of the super-heroes live that they get defeated (Los Angeles is also off limits due to The Pride).

In this issue, Doc Ock is on a huge crime spree throughout the country, gathering cash that will eventually be used to fund his future schemes, but he's also expecting Spider-Man to come after him. When he doesn't, he heads back to NYC for a rematch.

Meanwhile, Peter is coming down with a 24 hour virus. Doc Ock kidnaps Betty from the Daily Bugle, reasoning that if Spidey recently rescued her in Philadelphia he will likely try to come to her aid again. He does, but his virus has somehow wiped out his super-powers*, leading to an easy defeat and an unmasking, also observed by Betty, JJ, and a cop. When they see that it is Parker under the mask, they all assume that it is not really Spider-Man; it's just Peter dressed as Spider-Man to try and rescue Betty. Doc Ock assumes the real Spider-Man was scared off by the cops and he flees.

This is stupid. The guy who mysteriously gets impossible-to-get photos of Spider-Man (and *only* Spider-Man related photos) is seen fighting Doctor Octopus in a Spider-Man costume, and neither the police nor the publisher of a newspaper even consider the possibility that he is in fact Spider-Man? It's impossible to believe.

Anyway, the kids at school are impressed with Peter - especially Liz Allan who has been slowly taking an interest in him anyway. Having got his powers back after he gets better, Spidey goes after Doc Ock again, and after a long and difficult battle in a burning studio, Octavius is defeated and captured by the police.

A decent issue marred badly by the awful unmasking plot point.

*Interesting synergy: As we will learn in FF #25, Reed Richards is currently working with viruses to find a cure for the Thing. Is it possible that a strain of this super-power canceling virus got airborne and made its way to Peter?

I think their skepticism is justified by how easy Spidey got beaten. If this had been a traditional Spidey/Ock fight, with them tearing up half the amusement park, and at the end of a long, hard battle, Octopus rips off Spider-Man's mask, then yes, they would be idiots to assume anything but "Peter Parker is Spider-Man!" But with his performance here? An impostor is very easy to swallow.

The issue with the above is that the "traditional Spidey/Ock fight" you describe had not been seen yet. This was only their third encounter, and was actually the first to take place on the city streets.

But they're still two super-powered beings about to fight each other to the death. If I saw Godzilla and Optimus Prime about to fight right before my eyes, I'd expect them to trash the city as they tried to kill each other and would be fairly surprised if one of them was taken out as easily as Spidey here.

I just checked it fnord12, you are right but they also mangle terms like 'formulae' and 'bacteria'. I guess I shouldn't blame the editors for non knowing basic stuff about microbiology back in the '60s ;-).

The tricky thing about reading golden age or silver age comics now is that they aren't our first exposure to the characters in the way they were for readers when they were first published, so we tend to project much of our 50+ years of knowledge of the characters onto older stories, even when that knowledge was not relevant to the story at the time.

At the time of this issue, Peter Parker is not publicly known as the photographer who takes photos of Spider-Man, so the police are not aware of that connection -- all the Police know is that JJJ sent Peter to take photos of Doc Ock -- not of Spidey. In Amazing Spider-Man #2, Peter makes the deal with Jameson to not be credited as the photographer of any of the photos he takes. And in Amazing Spider-Man #9, we are shown an issue of the Daily Bugle where an anonymous staff photographer is credited with the photographs of Electro that Peter took.

Beyond that, Peter isn't the first teen that the public would have assumed was impersonating Spider-Man, as Flash Thompson did the same thing in Amazing Spider-Man #5, which Jameson comments on, so it was known by the press, as well as the students at Midtown High, as we learn at the end of that issue.

So making an initiative leap of a strong connection between Peter and Spider-Man is unlikely except for JJJ and Betty, both of whom already have contradictory biases regarding how they perceive Peter and Spider-Man.

Also, I think Ditko and Lee are treating the secret identity as a metaphoric device, as well as a literal one, much like Seigel and Shuster did with the early Superman. Their identities remain secret, not just through their efforts to keep it so, but also because the supporting cast are representative of people who are unable to see the hidden potential of others. Seigel experienced this in real life, so of course it is a theme in his stories. And Ditko's storytelling philosophy often portrays heroes as responsible, thoughtful characters who care for others as well as themselves, in opposition to other characters who are driven by self-centered motivations, which keeps them from seeing the true potential of others.

And on the letters page, Stan Lee mentions that Betty is a few months younger than Peter -- who is supposed to be a senior at this point -- but she works because she needs the money, and she has hopes of attending night school to finish her degree.

Thanos6, you might be correct. The letter's page comment about Betty is in response to such complaints, although Betty's leaving high school within the past year is mentioned in Amazing Spider-Man #9 by her in talking with Peter, and her comment at that moment also definitely foreshadows the problems her brother has had, so it could be a deliberate decision to flesh out her character history instead of reacting to readers who were indeed complaining about her apparent age.

I wonder if the unmasking scene was done as a deliberate subversion of Superman being unrecognized when he's wearing glasses, that people don't see the truth even when it's right there in front of them, literally without being disguised.

I'd assume Betty's hairstyle change was done to make her look younger, or at least prettier. She was originally a generic secretary, but in the sense that creators learn about their characters as they go, she responds positively to his sense of responsibility and maturity. Peter responds because this is the first time in his life a girl has been interested in him. But Spider-Man serves as a wall to keep them apart, a theme developed through Ditko's run.

I always thought it was strange how the previous issue is barely addressed, even though it featured Betty, her brother's death and Doc Ock. For that matter, there's the fact that Doc Ock wasn't captured at the end of the previous issue. Had a supervillain ever blatantly escaped at the end of a Code-approved story before?

And what on earth goes through Aunt May's head? One can easily imagine her hysterical reactions to being told 'Peter's been in a car crash' or 'Peter's been arrested for selling drugs' or even 'Peter got a girl pregnant' but apparently she would accept all that with the equanimity when she's told 'Peter dressed up as Spider-Man and went out to fight Dr. Octopus.' Not even a 'where did he get the webshooters from?'

That he's a horrible horrible man. I don't know if she learned it from the Daily Bugle, since they printed stories about Dr. Octopus the supervillain. Or maybe she just likes bad boys, which Spidey clearly isn't.

If Aunt May thought Spider-Man was a horrible horrible man, she hardly would have taken Peter's decision to dress up as Spider-Man in stride. Save perhaps if it were for some Halloween party, at the most. I haven't read this story, so I can't tell what she found out about frail Peter's costumed hijinks, nor how.

One of the worst plot holes in super hero history is the whole notion that Clark Kent can't be Superman because he wears glasses--and Superman has x-ray vision. "C'mon, people! Why would a superhero WHO HAS X-RAY VISION need to wear glasses?!?" This being the entire premise behind Superman makes it a terrible comic from the word 'go'. I can live with ASM#12 because it is but a feeble episode in a generally worthwhile comic. [by which I mean a generally worthwhile comic up until 1995-1996]

Especially when we remember that Jonah Jameson is much too arrogant and delusional to ever imagine (or admit) that Spider-Man could outwit him. Could Jonah ever fathom that Spider-Man is a long-time acquaintance who has fooled him for years? I don't recall Jonah ever working with this scenario. And he was certainly all too willing to believe that the guy heroically fighting Doctor Octopus for Betty's safety wasn't the real Spider-Man--who's but a worthless criminal.

Your comments about Aunt May's reaction got me thinking about who must have taken Peter home, undressed him, and put him in pajamas. Ugh. I know, it can be creepy to consider. But from a secret identity concerns viewpoint, I'm assuming that a reliable doctor was involved, and that the web shooters and belt were just viewed as random items by the doctor, and that the police never even saw them. In today's culture, with cosplayers, the proper authorities probably would assume that they are just harmless accessories. Who knows what they would have thought in the 1960s?
