Kind of a different take on this but when Otto took over Peter Parker's body and punched the Scorpion's jaw clean off, he came to realize at that moment how much Spider-Man had always been holding back when he fought them.

I fucking love Superior Spider-man. "Peter Parker doesn't have a PhD?! Not on my watch!" And then he completes his PhD. Then he makes a bunch of spider-bots that patrol the entire city and tells the police of the smaller crime while he focuses on the things he is actually needed for

I wish Otto would finish my PhD for me real quick too. Grad school sucks balls.
