Became something of a grim and gritty vigilante called the Steel Spider when the 90s came around, and his last appearance was in the post-Civil War Thunderbolts getting his arm chewed off by Mac Gargan/Venom before being tossed into the Negative Zone prison for unregistered superhuman vigilantes. I thought it was a whole lot of missed potential he didn't show up in either volume of Superior Spider-Man (Doctor Octopus's mind in Spider-Man's body, or a cloned body made from both Spider-Man's and Octavius's DNA), and I even had a story idea in mind where he went into cybernetics, gave himself a new arm to replace the one Gargan/Venom chewed off, and built a cybernetic carapace in the style of Metal Gear's Cyborg Ninja to emulate Spider-Man's powers and abilities, making himself a "real" Steel Spider.
