The next day, things were still not clear to Peter. This day, he no longer had any interest in going out to be Spider-Man. He was putting it off as long as he could. He needed time to think about his life. Was it worth giving up Mary Jane to be Spider-Man? Was it worth it to put her and his Aunt May in jeopardy? No matter what he did, something was going to happen to hurt the ones he love and care about.
Peter picked up a copy of the Daily Bugle, to check out if any more of his photo's had made the paper. On the front page was the headline, "Spider-Man slammed!" There was a photo, sent in by another freelance photographer, of him flying across the street. Below that were two side-by-side photographs. One was a distant picture of Dr. Octopus walking on his mechanical limbs. The other picture was a blurry magnification of his face, but it was very difficult to identify. Underneath the two pictures, two font sizes smaller than the font used for the headlines was the sentence, "Has Dr. Octavius, who is thought to be the one responsible for burning the NYSC, turn villain?"
Peter could not believe that Mr. Jameson would sink this low. The only evidence, even though it was incorrect, that he had to make such an accusation was that he had been missing, and that was only circumstantial. Now, Peter knew that Dr. Octavius had not burned down the science complex, but it was correct that that picture was him and he had turned villain.
It suddenly dawned on him, that Dr. Octavius attacked the man who he claimed to be involved in the explosion. He was out for justice, that much was clear. If he read this article, there was no doubt that he would seek justice for being falsely accused; and that made Mr. Jameson a target on his agenda. He threw the paper in a near by trash bin and ran as fast as he could towards his apartment.
