Otto Octavius

Dr. Otto Octavius

Dr. Otto Octavius is Dr. Octopus

## Origins

Otto was born in April of 1993 in New York, and grew up isolated from everyone, using his time to perform science experiments. He was hired at Oscorp straight out of college, and quickly rose through the ranks. When we first see him, he already has invented four mechanical arms that he had surgically attached to his spine to help him with lab experiments. The arms were also planned to be released to the public as a replacement for prosthetic limbs. He had even gotten as far as the owner of Oscorp, a paralyzed scientist named Norman Osborn, to have them installed in himself.

One day, Otto was giving a presentation to a high school class at Oscorp, where he was showing off an experimental gas that could give people unnatural abilities, which he believed could be the next step of evolution in police enforcement. However, as he was presenting, a criminal known as The Chameleon broke into Oscorp and accidentally released the gas. Otto managed to get gas masks on everybody, aside from one person. The student Peter Parker breathed in some of the gas right before Otto could get a gas mask on him. Otto also ended up breathing in some of the gas, and both of them passed out.

Otto woke up in a hospital after a coma a few months later, and awoken to discover that he could control technology. He decided that he had a responsibility to help people, as he had specifically made the gas he inhaled to use in order to power up the police. Otto scrapped together a suit using pieces of metal he had at home, and went out to search for The Chameleon, wanting to make sure he couldn't hurt anybody else ever again. Unlike Peter, who became a hero who believed in rehabilitation, Otto believed that the only way to stop crime was through fear and death.

When he found The Chameleon, he was absolutely destroying Peter Parker in a fight. Otto, now wearing his costume, entered the building and attempted to kill Chameleon by forcing his technology to malfunction. Peter fought off Otto and protected Chameleon, causing him to escape. Otto would also escape, and decided that he needed to get rid of Peter as, in his mind, Peter wasn't taking this as far as he should and was just getting in his way. As much as he hated the idea of working with criminals, he knew he would need to team-up with others who hate Spider-Man to take him down.

## The Sinister Six

For the next few months, Otto started to recruit the enemies Spider-Man had made to help him, including The Rhino, Mysterio, The Vulture, Venom, and The Scorpion, the last of whom Otto had actually created by building Matt Gargan a containment suit to help him with the toxins that oozed from his body due to his mutation. Otto and the others would attack Peter all at once, and nearly defeat him, until Peter reluctantly called The Chameleon in for help, and managed to overwhelm the team. Otto ended up being arrested, and was sent to Ravencroft Penitentiary.

## Spider-Verse

While Otto was fighting Spider-Man alongside his Sinister Six, he was suddenly sent into the multiverse. While he appeared to be gone for less than a microsecond, he was actually gone for much longer. He was transported to Earth 616C by the Inheritors, where he fought the Spider-Man of that universe before being captured by that universe’s Dr. Strange. He was contained at the Sanctum Sanctorum until the Inheritors came and broke him, alongside the Shocker of Earth 199999 and the Swarm of Earth 122221, out of their containment. The three then joined forces with the Inheritors to kill all the Spider Totems.

## City of Lizards

A few months later, The Lizard released a gas into the city that turned almost everyone into lizard-men. Otto was unaffected, due to his DNA already being modified. Spider-Man was forced to team up with him to take The Lizard down, so the two cured The Lizard, only for Otto to try and kill Connors anyway. Peter managed to stop him, and he went back to jail.

## Appearance

Otto is a tall, skinny, and lanky man in his mid 20s. He always has four mechanical arms coming out of his back, as he surgically attached them to his spine. When he doesn't have his suit on, he wears a black turtleneck, kacki pants, and a long, brown trenchcoat. He also wears sunglasses over his green eyes and has spiky, brown hair. When he is wearing his costume, he wears a metal suit over his torso and legs, which does not cover his arms. He also wears bands on his arms and brown gloves. His suit and bands also have spikes on them, and he wears a metal skull mask.

## Trivia

* The major differences made to Otto in MR are that he is more of a misguided vigilante, that he is much skinnier and lankier than normal, that his costume looks radically different, and that he has the ability to control technology.
* His costume is partially inspired by raiders from the *Fallout* video game series.
* Otto's voice sounds much more like a traditional Doc Ock without his mask, but with it on, his voice changer gives him a British accent, deeper voice, and a lisp. i know that doesn't really make sense, but that's how I imagined it.
* In Spider-Verse, when he is actually voiced, his lisp and accent are not present.
* The shortened version of Dr. Octopus, "Doc Ock," is used almost exclusively as his alter-ego. Dr. Octopus is used much more rarely.
* Otto's birthday is the day that *The Amazing Spider-Man #3* was released, the issue he first appeared in.
