The unknown quantity that is **Dr. Octagonecologyst** is an exceedingly dangerous individual. Born on the planet of Jupiter, there is small and varying accounts of his origin. However, what Damien was able to scrounge together - after hacking into his personal computer journal - is that the good doctor killed his parents during his teenage years. It is alluded to that Dr. Octagon used his parent's corpses as his first foray into genetic splicing and unorthodox, inhumane medical practices. At some point on Jupiter, he gained - allegedly - a M.D. and began to take his work more seriously, but in turn, his insanity and bloodlust grew as a result. His personal journal goes into graphic detail of several victims of his that were simply looking for a check-up but ended up as genetic and body horror experiments. Once confident enough, Dr. Octagon experimented on himself, altering his body down to a DNA level. However, this in turn, transformed the formerly handsome man into a humanoid body with only a skeleton head and deep, villainous green eyes.

Shunned by the scientific community on Jupiter when his horrid deeds were revealed. Refusing to stop his inhumane acts, Dr. Octagon transported himself and his assistant - Nisha - to Earth, specifically Brooklyn. Here, he opened the Transatlantic Sanatorium and conducted his experiments on the vastly biologically different humankind. However, as his experiments excelled, as did his insanity as his experiments became more wicked and vile, beginning to cross human DNA with animal and other kinds of DNA. This led to the creation of Del The Funky Homosapien who was a perfected hybrid of many different animalistic DNA but still managed to resemble a human. However, Del's counterpart, George The Ordinary Homosapien was a normal man as Dr. Octagon wanted to see if he could create life from nothing. However, after Del was created, Dr. Octagon killed George and this would have unforeseen consequences.

Dr. Octagon would encounter the **Bruiser Brigade** after a friend of **Lexi'**s was taken by Dr. Octagon and they tracked her the Transatlantic Sanatorium which had become a house of horrors. Lexi's friend was saved but Del switched sides, attacking Dr. Octagon to let Bruiser Brigade escape and Del fled shortly thereafter. Later, Dr. Octagon would find himself inducted into the supervillain team Hollow by **Missy Laurent**, becoming the team's resident doctor and genetic specialist. More recently, he began to dabble in newfound DNA from Jade's hostile takeover of Arasaka Corp which was known as the Zinchari Mutagen and proposed the idea to his assistant of adapting it to either himself or her.

## **Attributes**

### **Powers**

**Genetically Spliced Biology**: As a result of his ever growing madness and hyper-fixation on creating the "perfect being", Dr. Octagon experimented on himself throughout the years which gifted him different abilities but also gave him his terrifying physical appearance. Limited his powers may be, Dr. Octagon never fully relies on them as many of his creations defend him and if that simply doesn't work, he will just create something that will. Some of the DNA he has spliced with his own includes Gorilla, Jaguar, and Lizard. With these three types of DNA, it grants Dr. Octagon a very limited but useful set of abilities.

* **Superhuman Strength**: Taking the strength of a Gorilla has led to Dr. Octagon to be able to lift, carry, hurl, and throw punches with enough force of little under one ton. While on the surface, this may not be a lot, it is a lot when it comes ot handling individuals who do not have conventional superhuman durability such as Damien whenever he was unbonded to Bedlam. Damien took a punch from Dr. Octagon when he was unbonded and it caved in his chest but Bedlam saved him from dying by healing him.
* **Superhuman Speed**: With Jaguar DNA, Dr. Octagon has showcased an incredible ability to move with such speed that it is eerily scary whenever he is out of view. This is because he is moving over 55 mphs and will simply vanish when moving. The scariest demonstration of this was whenever Lexi saw Dr. Octagon but then lost him, only for him to come running down a hallway at her, attacking her before her Widow-Sense could go off.
* **Camouflage**: With the DNA of a lizard, Dr. octagon has the unique ability to masking himself in his environment or - more horrifyingly - mask himself by lining the walls with camouflage that visually looks like him to confuse the viewer. This was done to an exceeding effect whenever he used his camouflage ability to blend in with the wall but when he was viewed by Alexis, it was as if Alexis was seeing several different versions of Dr. Octagon but in actuality, it was just one.

### **Abilities**

* **Medical Prowess**: Dr. Octagon is truly a medical genius in both the good and the worst parts of the term. He can accurately identity injuries, illnesses, and other afflictions without needing the full story. He has - according to his journal - decades of surgical experience and was an actual practicing doctor that helped people through their medical issues. However, as he began to experiment, his medical experience exploded as he fully became enamored with genetics and explored different avenues after learning of government experiments, leading to him restarting Project MKUltra under the guise of "bettering humanity" but in actuality, it is to condone his inhumane actions. Essentially, Dr. Octagon has become the modern Victor Frankenstein.

### **Weaknesses**

* **Insanity**: Dr. Octagon suffers from several different psychological problems but primarily, Dr. Octagon suffers from extreme insanity. His mind is gone, lacking any type of literal emotion and the only thing that remains is his intelligence and his subconsciousness. His mind is goal-orientated as his mind will setup situations in-which he needs to complete a goal and he will do anything to achieve it. Such as whenever he wanted to continue his experiments so he and his assistant moved to Brooklyn to continue their research. However, if a goal isn't achieved, Dr. Octagon becomes violent and aggressive such as when Bruiser Brigade escaped Transatlantic Sanatorium and Dr. Octagon killed all of his test subjects with his bare hands, not caring if it meant he needed to start over again.

## **Notes**
