Ultimate Six #2 (of 7)
Chapter 2
November 1st, 2003
Hank Pym tries to psychoanalyze Norman Osborn but Norman won't co-operate. He thinks that Nick Fury is after his Oz formula and that's a secret he plans on keeping to himself. He doesn't react well when informed that S.H.I.E.L.D. have seized all of his company assets.
Presenting his findings to Nick Fury and the rest of the Ultimates, Pym also shares with them the information that Dr. Octopus has come forward and is willing to do his part to help out and begin to atone for his past behavior. Fury poses the question to the Ultimates asking if that offer should be accepted as it'll be up to them to clean up the mess if Octopus is leading them on.
The offer is accepted and Dr. Octopus is taken to the lab where he'll be able to help the science team work on formulae to stabilize the genetic manipulation undertaken on himself and the other prisoners. There he is also re-introduced to something he'd been missing since his arrest, his arms. And he's quick to take advantage. The high security cells' power supply is terminated and the prisoners emerge. The power dampening collars also become deactivated. Osborn, Kraven, Electro and the Sandman are free and ready to wreak havoc on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Triskelion's staff.
