Quote1 No. This time I will happily admit-- you were right. And I can prove it with the flicking of one button. You see in the end, I am a creature of spite. Of hate. Of Rage. It is my nature--I won't deny it. Oh, and how I roiled and rankled at the thought of my life--my light--my genius coming to an end--while the mundane and the mediocre lived on! No! It is unacceptable! If I must enter Oblivion, I will not go alone! If Otto Octavius must perish, so shall you all! We all die toge-- Quote2

Synopsis for "Ends of the Earth (Part 4): Global Menace"

Over the course of the next three days, Spider-Man, Black Widow and Silver Sable made guerrilla warfare attacks on several of the factories that constructed Doctor Octopus' anti-global warming satellites. In North Korea, they faced off against the Rhino, whom Spider-Man defeated with some of his electrified webbing. However, S.H.I.E.L.D. forces arrived on the scene, not to take the Rhino into custody, but to arrest Spider-Man and his allies. As nearly all of the Earth's governments have sided with Doctor Octopus due to his promise to end global warming, Spider-Man has been reduced to Global Public Enemy #1.

Back in New York City, Mayor J.Jonah Jameson declared martial law and had his Anti-Spider Squad patrol the streets to prevent any looting incidents, such as those that happened during the attack of Spider-Island. Mary Jane Watson waited for Peter's return, confident that he would win against Doctor Octopus, and she planned a way to show everyone how much of a hero he truly was. Silver Sable also began to show signs of romantic feelings toward Spider-Man, although he remained against the idea of a relationship with her.

After the captive Sandman interrogated, the trio of heroes received a surprsing message of support from the Titanium Man. Black Widow explained that the Titanium Man defines himself as a Russian patriot rather than an American villain. Spider-Man then rallied Union Jack, Sabra, Kangaroo, and the Big Hero 6 (consisting of Go-Go Tomago, Hiro Takachiho, Fred, Honey Lemon, Wasabi-No Ginger, and Ebon Samurai) to help stop the construction of Octavius' satellites. Spider-Man's group then followed a lead and found a deserted factory near the border between Symkaria and Romania. Doctor Octopus appeared on the monitor, claiming victory as the last of his satellites had already been built and launched. Spider-Man goaded him to prove that he was going to save the world. However, Doctor Octopus instead admitted that Spider-Man was right all along and further admitted that he himself is a hateful and spiteful creature. Expounding on this, Doctor Octopus stated that he did not want the 'mediocre and mundane' to live on while his genius died, rather he wants to die with the world perishing with him. He then activated the satellites' deadly function and began to burn everything on Earth's day side.
