Well at least they've given a reason for everyone not turning up.
I'm not sure... the Living Brain may well have a fault, why would NOBODY be contactable? The only reason the X-Men wouldn't be available is if this is set after Uncanny #10 - but then Anna wouldn't even have mentioned them, because the Bugle ran a headline saying they're dead. And what about the Champions? Is this at the same time as their Weirdworld arc?

The Brain said that he was unable to contact Spider-man or any of the first responders. The X-Men may not be part of what he considers as the "first responders." Tho, this may just be me stressing over the dialogue.
I didn't even think about the champions, this would be up they're alley now that they decided to up they're game. But is the Brain on Twitter? (couldn't resist)
1,000,000 COD Players vs Stone Alien Man vs The Sun

I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
That would make sense, well spotted. Otto doesn't want aid!

Personally, I'm offended that Anna Maria is speaking ill of Otto this way. I understand she went through a lot, but she needs to let go of her vexation and realize how much of a brilliant and benevolent man he truly is. Sooner or later, Anna Maria will come to her senses and fall back into the arms of the Superior Spider-Man, where she belongs.....We're already seeing hints of this because she worries for him. That love burning deep within her soul cannot continue to hide behind this resentful facade.
Can't tell if being sarcastic or not, but let's recall that Otto tried to cook the earth and at least some people died from that. Generally speaking you don't get to just go 'oopsie' and say you're good now, even if comics like to think so. Also, when he was romancing Anna Maria he did so after having body snatched and murdered Peter. Peter, who she later befriended and worked together extensively with. Imagine if Osama bin Laden just came up and said he was good now, so let's just forget about the whole 'years of terrorism' thing.
Needs more Skein.............
I might get into this series
As an extension of this, this Otto is duplicated from Otto's mind around Spiderverse. As such he wasn't the one to cook the Earth as that Otto is still dead and even if he was brought back during Clone Conspiracy, the current Otto supplanted whatever was left in that body and it was destroyed later. As such the current Otto hasn't done anything but be Superior Octopus/Spider-man but also runs the risk of becoming Doctor Octopus considering well, it's pretty much Otto.
I'm actually reminded of an Oney plays animated while typing this "Hypothetical dictator".

For anyone that needs to know why OMD is awful please search the internet for Linkara' s video's specifically his One more day review or his One more day Analysis.
Technically, he was, insofar as the Otto from Spider-Verse was at that point the same Otto that tried to fry the entire planet, just transposed into Peter's body. He experienced character development, yes, but that doesn't exactly take away from his past crimes, and as he still identifies as Otto Octavius, that means he still is (or should be) on the hook for the things he did as Doctor Octopus. Not to mention that as Superior Octopus, he participated in HYDRA's assault on and takeover of America, so it's not like he lived entirely blamelessly after getting his new lease on life.
The spider is always on the hunt.
Damn if we ain't gonna feel foolish if we are responding straight to a sarcastic post.Can't tell if being sarcastic or not, but let's recall that Otto tried to cook the earth and at least some people died from that. Generally speaking you don't get to just go 'oopsie' and say you're good now, even if comics like to think so. Also, when he was romancing Anna Maria he did so after having body snatched and murdered Peter. Peter, who she later befriended and worked together extensively with. Imagine if Osama bin Laden just came up and said he was good now, so let's just forget about the whole 'years of terrorism' thing.
The fact that Octavius' criminal actions were so public means that he effectively lied to Marconi during their relationship. She would have had some opinion of the guy who had committed numerous crimes against the city (and the world).
We, as omniscient readers, know that Octavius was honestly trying to change. But, what real reason would Marconi have to believe that? And, considering that Octavius only had the chance to redeem himself because he committed murder and (epic) identity theft, one could argue that he did not deserve the chance at redemption, regardless of how sincerely he pursued it.
One could argue that the Hydra collaboration was under duress. But, giving him a pass on this leaves all of those other crimes unaccounted for. (And, we can only consider the duress angle because we are omniscient readers.)Not to mention that as Superior Octopus, he participated in HYDRA's assault on and takeover of America, so it's not like he lived entirely blamelessly after getting his new lease on life.

I love that Otto refers to Doctor Doom as a "dropout".
