Doc Ock

"'Hello Peter.'- Doc Ock to Spider-Man, Spider-Man No Way Home"

Doctor Otto Gunther Octavius is a nuclear scientist and inventor who created a set of mechanical limbs to help him control fusion reactions. They were fused to his body in a lab accident, and their artificial intelligence began to corrupt his brain, leading him to turn to criminal activity to create a new fusion reactor. Nicknamed Doctor Octopus for his eight-limbed appearance, he clashed with the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man and was ultimately defeated by him, before choosing to drown the reactor and himself in the rivers of New York City. However, he was transported alive through the Multiverse and ended up in a different universe due to a failure in Doctor Strange's spell.

Doctor Octopus encountered that universe's Spider-Man and battled with him, but was defeated and sent to the New York Sanctum. However, he would be freed after Spider-Man learned of Doctor Strange's intention to send Doctor Octopus along with other villains back to their home universe to meet their fates, and was released from the tentacles' artificial intelligence. Later, he assisted Spider-Man, joined by the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man and another Spider-Man, in their fight against Electro, Sandman, Lizard, and the Green Goblin on Liberty Island and help get them cured of their antagonistic qualities. After all of them had been cured, Octavius was sent back to his home reality by Doctor Strange, alive and well.

Early Life
Otto Octavius was a brilliant scientist who worked towards researching and building a sustainable fusion power reactor. He met Norman Osborn and became his friend, he eventually heard Osborn was the Green Goblin and that he had died fighting the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

To build his fusion power reactor and perform a successful experiment, Octavius developed a set of artificially intelligent mechanical arms, which were bonded to his spinal column. When the neural inhibitor chip which prevented the advanced AI of the arms from influencing Octavius' own mind was destroyed, the arms began to corrupt Octavius' mind, playing on his vanity and ego, and he decided to complete his experiment at any cost, being given the name Doctor Octopus. He eventually became an enemy of Spider-Man and fought him on several occasions.

In their final battle, Spider-Man tried to stop his machine and Doctor Octopus had him by the throat before he managed to take control of the arms with the help of Spider-Man, and drowned himself with his machine, which had become unstable. His death was reported by the media, and the event was heard by Flint Marko.

Meeting Alternate Spider-Man

 * "Hello, Peter.""...Hi? Do we— do I know you?"
 * ―Doctor Octopus and Spider-Man[src]

In 2024 of an another universe, Doctor Strange tried to cast the Runes of Kauf-Kaul to make everyone forget Peter Parker was Spider-Man. However, the spell failed and connected to other realities in the Multiverse bringing people who were aware of Spider-Man's true identity from those to their universe. As time was scrambled, people who were originally dead in their universes were brought alive to this one, one of those being Doctor Octopus, who was brought from the moment he had the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man by the throat, right before his redemption. Doctor Octopus, upon entering the other universe, tried to find the fusion reactor. He encountered that universe's Spider-Man, but not knowing what happened, demanded to know what happened to the reactor as he attacked him.

During the fight, Doctor Octopus removed a piece of Spider-Man's Iron Spider Armor, and integrated the nanotechnology into his tentacles. He then attempted to kill Spider-Man, who removed his mask to restore the torn piece of his armor, leaving Doctor Octopus confused, as this was not his Peter Parker. The integration of the nanotech into the tentacles allowed Spider-Man to use his armor to take control of them, and turn them against Doctor Octopus. As a restrained Doctor Octopus tried to make sense of what had happened, they were interrupted by the arrival of the Green Goblin, whom Doctor Octopus recognized as Norman Osborn, before they were transported into the Sanctum Sanctorum by Doctor Strange, who placed Doctor Octopus in captivity. He was later forced to join the other villains after Parker freed them in a bid to save them from their intended fate.

Finding A Solution

 * "It's so quiet. Those voices, in my head... I'd almost forgotten...""Otto.""Yes. Norman. It's me."
 * ―Otto Octavius and Norman Osborn[src]

Doctor Octopus was the first to receive one of Peter Parker's cures, a new inhibitor chip made using Stark Industries technology, which restored the kindly Octavius for good. Octavius then gifted Parker a brand new suit, made from the same nanotech that the tentacles absorbed from Parker's suit during their fight on the bridge.

When the Green Goblin persona took over Norman Osborn, Octavius attempted to help but was incapacitated by Max Dillon, who knocked him out of Happy Hogan's apartment window after taking an Arc Reactor. Managing to break his fall with his tentacles, Octavius swiftly retreated from the scene, hopping across buildings as J. Jonah Jameson watched and recorded for The Daily Bugle.

Battle at Liberty Island

 * "Leave them. They're mine.""I don't need your help. I got this guy.""Dr. Octavius! No!"
 * ―Otto Octavius, Electro, and Spider-Man[src]

Octavius intervened in the battle at the Statue of Liberty by tricking Electro and the other Peter Parkers into thinking he was once again Doctor Octopus, only to use his arms to remove the Arc Reactor and attach Electro's cure to him. He then had an emotional reunion with his universe's Spider-Man, who he was amazed to see had grown up in the time since they had last met. When the Green Goblin reappeared to attack the heroes and steal Strange's spell-containing relic, Octavius attempted to stop him, but one of his tentacles was severed by the Goblin's glider. As the scaffolding around the Statue of Liberty began to collapse as a result of the fighting, Octavius carried Dillon down to safety. After Osborn was cured from his Goblin persona for good and before Doctor Strange cast a spell that erased everyone in that universe's knowledge of Peter Parker's existance, Octavius, Osborn, Marko and thier Parker were sent back to their universe with his fate altered.

Personality

 * "I told you, I don't need fixing!"
 * ―Doctor Octopus to Spider-Man[src]

While under the thrall of his tentacles, Octavius possessed a bitter, hostile, and stubborn temper and a mind difficult to reason with. Since he originated from a universe with technology less advanced than the main reality, Octavius though aware of nanotechnology underestimated its capabilities when he lost control of his tentacles after Spider-Man controlled them with nanotech.

Once he regained control of his mind, Octavius is shown to be a cordial and ambitious scientist who holds a genuine respect and fondness towards the Peter Parker from his universe.

Powers

 * Cybernetic Enhancement: Octavius created a set of long, mechanical limbs that attach to his back, each equipped with a red camera lens and three claw-like grips.
 * Superhuman Strength: Each tentacle has superhuman strength, which allows Octavius to easily overpower humans, rip metal objects and lift cars, allowing him to be a match for Spider-Man. His tentacles were also strong enough to restrain the Green Goblin's glider.
 * Superhuman Durability: The tentacles are super durable, with very few things able to affect them. However the Green Goblin's glider's blades were sharp enough to cut one of Octavius' tentacles off, leaving him with three remaining tentacles.
 * Superhuman Speed: The arms allow Octavius to move rapidly over any terrain and to scale vertical surfaces and ceilings.
 * Superhuman Agility: The reaction time and agility of his mechanical appendages are enhanced far beyond the range attainable for normal human musculature.
 * Superhuman Reflexes: The arms can react to attacks quicker than a regular human.
 * Wall-crawling: The arms are powerful enough to allow him to walk up sheer concrete walls and move about quickly by penetrating themselves into a walls surface.

Abilities

 * Genius-level Intellect: Octavius is a genius in the field of atomic physics.
 * Master Scientist: Octavius is a master scientist in the field of atomic physics, almost successfully being able to uncover the secret of clean nuclear energy in his universe.
 * Master Engineer: In his universe, Octavius created both a powerful fusion reactor and his signature tentacles with their own functioning A.I. system in them so they can adjust to higher temperatures as needed.
 * Expert Tactician: Octavius is a skilled tactician. This was proven when Octavius pretends to side with the villains and try to trick Electro then successfully give a cure to him.
 * Expert Combatant: Octavius can engage a single opponent, like Spider-Man, or multiple opponents with the arms while performing a completely separate task, such as constructing a machine.

Weapons

 * Doctor Octopus' Tentacles: Octavius engineered mechanical limbs with nanowires connected to his spinal column to help him control fusion reaction in his experiments. They were permanently fused to his body in a lab accident, which also destroyed the inhibitor chip that was designed to prevent the arms' artificial intelligence from affecting his brain. The AI remained in control of Octavius' brain until Spider-Man engineered a replacement inhibitor chip using a Stark Industries Fabricator.
 * Neural Inhibitor Chip: This unit kept the tentacles' AI from affecting Octavius' brain. Spider-Man provided him with a new chip to restore his higher brain function.

Other Equipment

 * "The power of the sun, in the palm of my hand."
 * ―Doctor Octopus[src]


 * Solar Fusion Reactor: In his universe, Doctor Octopus created a machine capable of generating massive amounts of energy through a process of Nuclear Fusion, however, he drowned it along with himself. Doctor Octopus was taken from it at a time he was still alive when Doctor Strange accidentally summoned him.
 * Arc Reactor: Octavius briefly possessed Max Dillon's Arc Reactor, after he defeated him during the battle on the Statue of Liberty.

Vehicles

 * F.E.A.S.T. Truck: Doctor Octopus was transported to Happy Hogan's condominium from the New York Sanctum in the truck.

Prisons

 * New York Sanctum: To be added
