After a bizarre incident, she gains the abilities and consciousness of Doctor Octopus, leading to a unique blend of teen life and supervillain-level chaos. The story features appearances from Spider-Man, Sakura Spider, and even Deadpool, as Haruka navigates her new powers and the responsibilities that come with them in this manga-style adventure from Viz.
In Spider-Man: Octo-Girl #1, titled "The Genius Scientist and the Schoolgirl," Dr. Octopus and high schooler Otoha navigate a tense coexistence as their minds share her body, leading to a fragile truce built around a shared device for control. When a mysterious nerve scanner at a Tokyo hospital catches his attention, he sets out to reclaim his old clone body—unaware that the city already has its own spider-powered hero. Written by Hideyuki Furuhashi, Caleb Cook, and Molly Tanzer, with art and inks by Betten Court and letters by Brandon Bovia, the cover by Betten Court captures the electric tension of this new chapter.
