## Abilities and Powers

While not having any superhuman powers of his own, Doctor Octopus's mechanical arms are extremely powerful and are made of radiation-resistant metal. However, they can be rendered non-functional once the power disc in his torso is either removed or depleted.

### Weapons

* **Doctor Octopus' Tentacles**: With Peter's aid, Otto creates four mechanical arms, which he attaches to his lower back via a harness. At the end of each arm are two sets of claws: a larger set of four claws used for general purposes, and a smaller set used for more precision-intensive actions. These arms, which are connected to his nervous system via an intracranial neural network, are capable of neural transmission speeds faster than 1 nanosecond (equal to a billionth of a second), far faster than any signals that can travel inside the human brain. As a result, these arms function as if they were part of Otto himself, granting him reflexes that are at least on par, if not, superior to Spider-Man's. These arms possess superhuman strength and durability, rapid movement, omnidirectional motion, and allow Otto to scale almost any surface.

## History

### Past

#### Early Life

Otto Octavius was a timid atomic scientist who was willing to apologize for every little thing. Otto was friends with Curt Connors in college. After they finished their studies, he went to work for Tricorp for some time, where he developed a set of four tentacle-like arms, which he used to perform more dangerous experiments. He stated that they allowed him to "multitask, manipulate different objects, and of course, maintain a safe distance." Otto's tentacles earned him the nickname "Dr. Octopus" from his future employer, Norman, even though Otto claimed the name was "so demeaning." Otto had developed a long term power source, dubbed the "Megalopack" while at Tricorp, though the company claimed possession of it when he left.
