The new era is called ‘8 Deaths of Spider-Man,’ and will see Spider-Man gave mystical armor that can resurrect him on deathGive him eight lives to defeat the Scions of Sittorak – a mystical threat Doom does not want to face himself.
The preview shows Spider-Man creating mystical webbing that he can use both offensively and defensively. The fact that one of Cytorak’s Scions is seemingly hurt by the webbing shows that it must pack a punch comparable to a blow from the Juggernaut or Fantastic Four’s thing. The red and gray suit echoes his iconic spider-armor suit, but with red fabric detailing and a glowing green spider symbol.
Spider-Man will die several times as he takes on the Scions of Sittorak, with Doctor Doom giving him mystical webbing to fight back.

Spider-Man gets resurrection powers working for Doctor Doom
The New Sorcerer Supreme chooses Spider-Man as his supernatural agent
In 2025, Doctor Doom took control of the Marvel Universe, taking the title of Sorcerer Supreme. As part of his new regime, Spider-Man will be transformed into his Stooge, to be sent to Face off against a group of demi-gods known as the Scions of Sittorak. There are multiple Scions, but so far fans only know about Syrios (who will make Spider-Man relive his most painful moments), Calix (who will test Spider-Man with physical pain), and Sira (who will force him to watch everyone . He loves to die.)
The preview of Amazing Spider-Man #61 Show Doom accommodating Spider-Man while he goes about his heroic business and transform him, giWing Peter what Marvel describes as “Mystical Green Webs.” It’s unclear whether Spider-Man is working with Doctor Doom voluntarily or not, and either option makes sense. As the new Sorcerer Supreme, Doom is more than capable of forcing Spider-Man to do whatever he wants, but he also has the responsibility of protecting Earth from supernatural danger. If Doom sincerely asks for Spider-Man’s help facing down a legitimate threat, the friendly neighborhood hero would be forced to agree.
Marvel points out that Juggernaut is “About ten times stronger than Spider-Man with only a fraction of Sittorak’s powers,” While the Scions are his chosen servants and have a much greater share of the Demon Lord’s power. It is clear that Spider-Man will need his eight extra lives just to have a chance of success in his mission, but it is also clear that his psychological suffering will more than equal what he goes through physically.
Spider-Man is just the first hero to work for Doctor Doom, as the axis of power shifts in the Marvel Universe.

Doctor Doom makes his first official move as Sorcerer Supreme
The villain is on a quest to save the world
Doctor Doom achieved the station of Sorcerer Supreme during Marvel’s Blood dog event, by Jed MacKay and Pepe Larraz. When vampires blot out the sun and attack the entire world, Doctor Doom has a spell ready to stop them, but he would only agree to unleash it if Doctor Strange surrendered his power as Sorcerer Supreme. while doom did Needing Strange’s power to make the spell work, it’s also been suggested that he’d caused the entire vampiric invasion to force the handover.
Doom took not only Doctor Strange’s power and title, but also a small part of his soul (A necessary ingredient in Strange willingly surrendering his abilities.) Since then, Doom has been hiding in Latveria behind a magical barrier. While his next move is a mystery to Marvel’s heroes, fans know he’s preparing for his self-imposed role as Earth’s primary protector in One world under doomA mysterious new era that will affect the majority of Marvel titles.
Doctor Doom has a long history with magic, and he actually only lost out on the Sorcerer Supreme title in the first place because he was beaten by Doctor Strange. Now he gets what he always wanted, and he handles the role very differently than his predecessor. Marvel says there are “Some duties he would rather delegate,” He explains why he is sending Spider-Man to handle the Scions of Sittorak. As Sorcerer Supreme, Doom has immense knowledge of the mystical world (in addition to his insight as a genius scientist.) If Doom is now the one who knows when a god-level threat is on its way to Earth, even the greatest of heroes will be forced to follow his lead.
Spider-Man’s connection to magic is much deeper than most fans know, and now he finally has to accept it.

Spider-Man isn’t exactly new to magic
Mysticism is at the heart of Spider-Man’s powers
Working as Doctor Doom’s lackey is a major inversion of Spider-Man’s usual relationship with Doctor Strange, whom he often goes to for advice on the magical elements of his adventures. While Peter long believed that his powers were pure science, more recent stories have revealed there was also a strong magical element to his origin. Every world in the multiverse has a ‘spider totem’, each connected to the magic of the powerful goddess Night.
Many of Spider-Man’s powers hinge on his connection to magic, such as his precognitive spider sense and his (not always present) ability to communicate with spiders. Since Peter is a scientist, he is resistant to his magical potential, but other heroes of the Spider-Verse have fully embraced it. There is even the implication that Doctor Strange and Spider-Man do the same gesture (Strange to cast spells, Spider-Man to use his webs) because their powers come from the same source. Indeed, fans got to see a Spider-Man variant become the Sorcerer Supreme in Peter David and Greg Land’s Symbiote Spider-Man: Alien Reality.
Despite his connection to magic, Spider-Man certainly isn’t experienced in using it as his primary offense and defense. That’s about to change Doctor Doom’s upgrade gives him powers of resurrection and turns his webbing into a conduit for magical force. Of course, going up against a Demon Lord’s unstoppable, pain-obsessed children means that Spider-Man Is still at risk of being killed one time too many.
