Asgardian-Symbiote Attack

The **Asgardian-Symbiote Attack** was a small attack-like battle from Marvel's *Ultimate Spider-Man*. It deals with Spider-Man and the Avengers teaming up to stop Loki who has teamed up with Doctor Octopus to attack New York City with an army of Asgardian Creatures controlled by Venom Symbiotes. The battle takes place in the two-part Season 3 premiere, "The Avenging Spider-Man."

## History

### Background

It all started after Spider-Man became a member of the Avengers after saving New York City from the Green Goblin. As a result, Loki came up with an evil plan to destroy them by teaming up with Spider-Man's enemy, Doctor Octopus who had just been captured by Spider-Man and his old team; White Tiger, Power Man, Iron Fist, and Nova. Loki freed Doctor Octopus from the S.H.I.E.L.D. Tri-Carrier, took him to his old underwater lab which Loki fixed up, and gave Doctor Octopus a special Asgardian armor that was made from the same metal that was used to make the Destroyer which was powerful enough to kill Thor. Loki wanted Doctor Octopus to use the Venom Symbiote he made to make an army of Venoms which would be bonded to Asgardian Creatures to take over Earth. However, Doctor Octopus was all out of Venom Symbiotes and needed Spider-Man's blood to make more. So Loki attacked Spider-Man at Avengers Tower and used his powers to put him to sleep and switch minds with him then he returned to Doctor Octopus' lab and from Spider-Man's body gave Doctor Octopus some blood samples which Doctor Octopus used to create more Venom Symbiotes. Loki later summoned some Asgardian Creatures like Ulik the Rock Troll and Fenris Wolf then bonded them with the Venom Symbiotes allowing Loki and Doctor Octopus to create their Venom army. Meanwhile, when Spider-Man woke up and found out he was in Loki's body he tried to get help from the Avengers but because of him being in Loki's body, no one believed him.

### The Battle

Loki in Spider-Man's body leads the Symbiote Creatures to attack New York which the Avengers try to fight off then during the fight, they eventually realize what is going on with both Spider-Man and Loki but then Thor and Hulk both get frozen by a Symbiote Frost Giant Dragon. Meanwhile, Spider-Man in Loki's body tries to find Loki to switch their minds back, when he does he fights off Loki who later switches their minds back on purpose. Then when the Avengers show up to help Spider-Man, Loki makes them still think that Loki is still in Spider-Man's body and that Spider-Man is still in Loki's body. Spider-Man tries to convince the Avengers that he really is back to normal but Loki makes them attack Spider-Man who later escapes into the sewers. Spider-Man then goes to his old team for help at Midtown High but they also think he's Loki after being informed about it by Nick Fury until Spider-Man manages to convince them he is not. However, the Avengers soon arrive and Loki makes them fight off Spider-Man and his team by making them think that they were being mind-controlled. But during the fight, Spider-Man is able to convince the Avengers to stop fighting and realize the truth after saving a train so Loki leaves to continue his attack on the city with the Symbiote Creatures. After that, the Avengers and Spider-Man's team team up to fight off the Symbiote Creatures then they free both Thor and Hulk from the Symbiote ice and tell them about Loki's trick. Thor tries to convince Ulik to help out after both he and Fenris are freed from the Venom Symbiotes but he refuses claiming that both he and Fernis hate all Asgardians so Ulik and Fenris are sent back to Asgard by Thor and Hulk. Nick Fury then calls Spider-Man and tells him about Doctor Octopus' lab being operational again so Spider-Man and his team go to his underwater lab to confront Doctor Octopus but they get attacked by him. But they fight him off and manage to destroy the remaining Venom Symbiotes but not before Doctor Octopus cruses their diving helmets, floods the lab, and escapes. However, Spider-Man and his team are able to escape with Spider-Man making a big web to protect themselves from the water while Nova takes them to the surface. However, they are then confronted by Doctor Octopus who chases after them across the city then Doctor Octopus fights off Thor and easily beats him because of his Asgardian armor. Doctor Octopus later regroups with Loki who goes to declare himself ruler of New York City by magically adding his face on the top of Avengers Tower. But Spider-Man and his team regroup with the Avengers and together they all fight off the Symbiote Creatures which in the process removes the Venom Symbiotes from the Asgardians Creatures. Eventually, the Avengers and Spider-Man's team are all able to remove all the Venom Symbiotes from all the Asgardian Creatures and Thor opens up a portal for both the Avengers and Spider-Man's team to send all the Asgardian Creatures back to Asgard. Loki then sends Doctor Octopus to try to attack them but during the fight, Spider-Man tricks Doctor Octopus into turning against Loki and attacking him who in return removes the Asgardian armor from Doctor Octopus which allows both the Avengers and Spider-Man's team to defeat them both. When both the Avengers and Spider-Man's team corner Loki, he runs away through the portal back to Asgard but not before Spider-Man ties Loki up with his webs.

### Aftermath

Loki is then confronted by the angry Asgardian Creatures he controlled with the Venom Symbiotes including Ulik and Fenris Wolf while Doctor Octopus is later returned back to S.H.I.E.L.D. custody and Spider-Man decides to refuse the Avengers' offer to join, preferring to stay with his old team instead. However, one of the Venom Symbiotes was left behind during the fight which eventually bonded to Peter Parker's childhood bully, Flash Thompson, and transformed him into a hero named Agent Venom who later becomes a S.H.I.E.L.D. trainee. This also leads to Spider-Man recruiting more young heroes for S.H.I.E.L.D. to form a new team called the New Warriors which would lead to the Skirmish on the Tri-Carrier.
