In Amazing Spider-Man #45, in the middle of the Gang War event, we looked into a Oscorp basement lab being run by Dr Curtis Connors, otherwise known as The Lizard.
This is The Ultra Living Brain, created by Randall Steven Petty following his father's research into the question "Who is Spider-Man?".
Originally seen in Steve Ditko and Stan Lee's Amazing Spider-Man #8 from 1963, The Living Brain was stolen by crooks for their own criminal enterprise, before causing it to malfunction, and going on a high school rampage, until Spider-Man stops the robot.
Years later the remains of the Living Brain are stolen by Doctor Petty's son who modifies it with offensive abilities, to use it to attack bullies. Shut down by Spider-Man again, the Living Brain continued to be used by more criminals to aid them in robberies.
The Beyond Corporation later created duplicates of Living Brain to fight Nextwave, was one of the destroyed contestants in a cosmic battle, joined Boomerang's Sinister Six, was held in custody of Horizon Labs, turned into Doctor Octopus' assistant, is rescued by Spider-Man who used it to fight the Goblin-ized Carlie Cooper, became Peter Parker's assistant at Parker Industries, was damaged when ordered to delve Parker employees, and revealed to contain a copy of the consciousness of Doctor Octopus, self destructing and then rebuilt by Anna Maria Marconi.
A new version, comntinueing the research and named the Ultra Living Brain returned for Amazing Spider-Man #1 and #6/#900 a couple of years ago, having manufactured a Synthezoid body to interface with the world. First kidnapping the Sinister Six…
And then going after those around Spider-Man.
Although when Spider-Man did confront him…
… and the Ultra Living Brain has a revelation…
… even though Spider-Man was forced to pull the plug.
But it took until Amazing Spider-Man #45 to get the answer as to where it was taken. To Oscorp, under Connors' isolation. And in today's Amazing Spider-Man #47 we get a new development.
Has the Ultra Living Brain been ordering on Deliveroo or UberEats?
Either way it's all a set uo for next month's Free Comic Book Day it seems. Is Ultra Living Brain going to start running restaurant reviews online? Join the gig economy? Start clipping coupons? It is very smart after all. And it has come on quite a way in sixty-three years.
