Synopsis for "Hostage Crisis"
Blackout intends to make a name for himself as an assassin and since Peter Parker is known to build technology for Spider-Man he kidnaps his Aunt May. Otto finds out about this through the Spider-Bot he put to guard May and Blackout later contacts him saying that he wants him to sabotage Spider-Man's equipment so he can kill him more easily. Enraged Otto obtains information about Blackout from Daniel Ketch and violently attacks the half-demon and after freeing May, defeats him and violently tortures him, using him as an example for what happens to those who harm Peter Parker and his family.
