## History

### Spider-Man

Otto Octavius was a scientist that had four metallic arms welded to his spine. Octavius then took the name Doctor Octopus and became an enemy of the superhero called Spider-Man.

Several years later Otto Octavius apparently reformed. However, Octavius was still secretly a criminal and had come up with a plan to create an army of symbiote villains.

Doctor Octopus hired Mysterio to dress up as Spider-Man and had him steal one of his machines while at a public demonstration of said machine. Doctor Octopus did this to frame Spider-Man.

Doctor Octopus then released a fog into the city as phase two of his plan. This fog was to prepare everyone in the city to be bonded to a symbiote. To help accomplish his goals, Doctor Octopus hired Rhino, Mysterio, and Carnage.

Doctor Octopus had Rhino steal from various technology companies around New York City. However, after Spider-Man defeated Rhino, Otto Octavius arrived with the police and used his mechanical arms to subdue Rhino and he took him to prison. This led Spider-Man to believe that Doctor Octopus had actually reformed.

A short while later, Doctor Octopus had his men kidnap Black Cat.

After Spider-Man defeated Mysterio, Mysterio told Spider-Man to go to a warehouse on the waterfront to find where the symbiote army was being produced. Spider-Man's investigation of the warehouse led him to a high tech underwater lair. In this lair, Spider-Man found the controls for the pipes that were releasing the fog into the city. Spider-Man then used the controls to stop the pipes from releasing the fog into New York City.

After exploring the underwater lair, Spider-Man found Doctor Octopus and learned that he was not really reformed and that he was in fact the one behind the symbiote army. Spider-Man then fought Doctor Octopus and defeated him.

After Doctor Octopus' defeat, Spider-Man fought Carnage and beat him as well. However, the symbiote detached itself from Cletus Kasady and bonded to Doctor Octopus. As the undersea base became unstable, Spider-Man ran to find a way to escape. As Spider-Man did this, the "Monster-Ock" followed him and attempted to kill Spider-Man. As Spider-Man escaped the undersea base Monster-Ock was caught in the explosion. Doctor Octopus survived but the Carnage symbiote seemingly perished.

Doctor Octopus was later taken to prison where he shared a cell with Mysterio, Scorpion, and Rhino. Each villain blamed Doctor Octopus for their defeat and Mysterio told Dock Ock that his plan to control the symbiotes was stupid.
