[Marvel] About Otto Octavius’s current body...

Hopefully this is the right place to ask this? Anyways, I just finished reading the new Superior Spider-Man series and am up to date on the four issues, but while I was reading something kept bothering me: how is Ock’s clone body still healthy and kicking? I thought Jackal’s clones deteriorated into carrion if they didn’t take his pill.

Did I miss something? I haven’t read any of Ben Reilly: Scarlet Spider, so hopefully I didn’t skip out on a crucial detail there.

It was a spare clone body that Ben Riley/Jackal kept for himself when he went on the whole evil cloning binge recently. Otto hijacked it before Ben could - it was specifically made immune to cellular degeneration other clones suffered from.
