Venom's Removal and Octavius's Return
Peter Parker oversees the removal of the Venom symbiote from Eddie Brock at Oscorp Industries, a process developed by Dr. Curt Connors using a Sonic attack. In exchange for this procedure, Eddie Brock receives immunity for his past crimes. Meanwhile, Dr. Otto Octavius, now bonded with a remnant of the Carnage symbiote, seeks redemption by resuming his sinister plans. He dons a disguise to conceal his enhanced mechanical arms and begins a mission to acquire funding for his operations.
Octavius's Bank Heist and Connor's Capture
Octavius robs a bank, using his enhanced mechanical arms and the Carnage symbiote to overpower security and police. Back at Oscorp, news of Octavius's reappearance and bank robbery reaches Peter Parker, Eddie Brock, and Dr. Connors. Peter realizes that Octavius is now bonded with the Carnage symbiote. Later, Octavius attacks Oscorp, captures Dr. Connors, and forces him to reveal the location of the symbiotes and mind control devices stored in the basement vaults.
The Stolen Symbiotes and the Pursuit Begins
Octavius steals the symbiotes and mind control devices, killing security guards with symbiotic spikes. Peter Parker and Eddie Brock return to Oscorp to find Dr. Connors distraught. They learn that the stolen mind control devices cannot be easily tracked. Eddie insists on re-bonding with the Venom symbiote to help Peter, who agrees, acknowledging the increased threat posed by Octavius.
Mind Control and a Deadly Kiss
After 48 hours of searching, Peter and Venom discover a mind-controlled symbiote in the city. The symbiote bonds with a woman, killing her when Peter removes the mind control device. Dr. Connors explains that the new mind control device uses the symbiote's genome to force the host to adopt the symbiote's personality, leading to death if the device is removed abruptly. Peter receives news that Mary Jane has been kidnapped by Doc O.
Mary Jane's Transformation and a Fateful Choice
Octavius straps Mary Jane to a device and bonds her with a symbiote using a mind control device, turning her into a monster. Mary Jane arrives at Oscorp, where she attacks Peter, but Venom intervenes and is stabbed. Peter stops Venom from removing the mind control device, fearing it will kill Mary Jane. They subdue her with electrical webs and sedatives, but a Sonic attack proves fatal, killing Mary Jane.
Desperate Measures and the Central Server
Dr. Connors reveals that the Sonic attack killed Mary Jane because Doc O configured the symbiotes to be immune to it. They need to disable the mind control device to safely remove the symbiote. Peter and Venom track the central server to an underground sewage treatment plant. They battle symbiote guards and confront a transformed Monster Ock. Peter finds a gun capable of killing symbiotes and faces a moral choice: kill Octavius or destroy the central server.
Choice A: Killing Doc O
Peter, overcome with anger, confronts Octavius, who begs for mercy. Despite Venom's urging, Peter shoots and kills Octavius. He then shuts down the central server, allowing Dr. Connors to safely remove the symbiote from Mary Jane, saving her life.
Choice B: Destroying the Central Server
Peter, filled with rage, decides to destroy the central server. He instructs Venom to retreat to a safe distance, then fires the gun at the oxygen canisters, causing a massive explosion that kills Octavius. However, destroying the server results in Mary Jane's death, as the symbiote cannot be safely removed without disabling the device first.
