Superior Spider-Man Returns#1(2023)

Otto returns to the research center where he became Doctor Octopus, thinking about his life and how for years he tried to maintain a stable fusion in order to create a new and very powerful source of energy. Entering a dungeon, he finds a dodecahedron in which he apparently sealed this energy source, but cannot remember how he stabilized it. Years ago during his time as Spider-Man, Otto captured Slyde and took possession of the tritium he had stolen and decided to use it to complete his old project of creating a miniature star that would grant unlimited energy. However, he did not want to do it at Horizon Labs, because otherwise Max Modell would benefit from the fruits of his discovery and so he returned to the basement of the old research center and hired Estrella Lopez as an assistant. However, despite all his efforts, he was unable to stabilize the reaction and took over one of Estrelle's intuitions, without giving her any credit, so she tried to complete the experiment alone out of spite. Due to an accident, however, she transformed into a human supernova and Otto locked her in the dodecahedron, without food or water (which she didn't need), nor company or distractions. In the present, not remembering what is inside, Otto opens the dodecahedron, freeing Estrella. Seeing her brings back his memories of her, but she, having no idea that he is responsible for her captivity, shouts that she will go kill Spider-Man, much to Doc Ock's satisfaction.
