About this image

- Peter Benjamin Octavius, from Earth-1997, referred to as "Violent Spider" by thugs and police alike, faced down by police after stopping an kidnapping of tourists to New York. -

 "The Violent Spider-Man, who never learned that with great power came the great responsibility. If anything, he learned the opposite."

"My opinion? My opinion is that that armored arachnid freak is one of the many psychos out there taking the law into their own hands. He doesn't represent New York. He doesn't help its people, nor save anyone. You asked earlier what my office has done to combat the costumed freaks running amongst New York; We fight. We arrest, we detain, and we try them in a court of law. No one, listen to me, NO ONE, is above the law of this great city. Not me, not you, not that damned web-head! That fancy suit is just a way for a psycho with superpowers to do as he wishes, when he wishes. He, just like those masked madmen that attacked the former Mayor, is a vigilante and therefore, a criminal. He's just like all the other inhuman lunatics out there. The Violent Spider is more than just a menace, he is a coward and a psychopath. You can trust in me to personally see to it that the PDNY make taking that webbed madman off the streets and thrown under the jail this upcoming term." - Mayor J. Jameson III, New York City, New York 2025.
