“ Otto Octavius was weak. Call me...Doctor Octopus! „
~ Doctor Octopus

“ Your strength is merely that of a spider, but mine is the energy of an atom, born of a nuclear accident! You dared to mock me before! Why aren't you mocking me now? Where are your brave words and taunts now, Spider-Man? „
~ Doctor Octopus to Spider-Man

“ So that's it?! You are afraid to fail--AGAIN?! TOUGH! I've lost more times than I've won, and every damn time I got back up! That's all that matters! [...] When victory is easy, it's cheap! Every fight that's ever been worth fighting has been against adversity! Against a so-called "unbeatable foe"! But there is no such thing! Every enemy has a weakness! You just have to find it! Once! You just have to win one time! Say it! [...] We all have feet of clay. We all fall down. But in us is the spirit to rise back up! It's not the power of the spider that makes any of us who we are! It's the will of the man! „
~ Superior Spider-Man to an alternate Uncle Ben

“ Then I shall endeavor to exceed your expectations. Let others settle for greatness, Max. I always strive to be superior. „
~ Superior Octopus

“ Hello, Peter „
~ Doctor Octopus to MCU Spider-Man

With the Sinister Six[]

History[]

Born in Schenectady, New York, Otto Octavius had a turbulent upbringing due to his abusive father Torbert Octavius berating him for being constantly bullied at school. Due to his mother's insistence that he can solve anything with his mind rather than with brute force, Otto focused more on his education, becoming a brilliant and respected nuclear physicist who devoted his entire life to developing a fusion-based energy source.

His work eventually led him to Oscorp under Norman Osborn. By the time Octavius finally finished his fusion reactor for Oscorp, having lost his mother and the woman he loved during that time frame, he unveiled a harness of highly advanced mechanical arms controlled via a brain–computer interface to assist him with his research into atomic physics.

When the energy core becomes unstable, and in part due to being too stubborn to turn off the machine, the experiment turned into a complete disaster with Spider-Man saving the day. But the damage was done as direct exposure to the energy core damaged Octavius mentally and physically, the latter in his rips and legs being damaged by debris.

The heat from the energy core also bonded the metal harness to his spine, forcing the hospital staff to build an iron lung around Octavius's body to save his life. But Octavius, driven mad by his refusal to accept that he was wrong, escaping soon after and then turning to a life of crime as under the name of "Doctor Octopus."

Death Battle Info[]

  • 5ft. 9in. (without gear)
  • 245 lbs. (without gear)

As a former scientist, Otto Octavius has a genius-level intellect in the fields of physics that extend into other fields that include genetics and technologies. He is almost a master of manipulation and persuasion, usually using that talent to acquire funding for his ventures and allies to aid him against common enemies. Through his tentacles, which are outfitted with tasers and saw blades and can serve as his means of mobility, Doctor Octopus is monumentally stronger then Spider-Man and is able to endure being slammed into a car. He has a variety of tentacles; including adamantium arms that were powerful enough to harm the Hulk.

Fullbody Armor[]

While working with Hydra, Doctor Octopus acquires access to nanotechnology that he uses to prolong his life due to his body failing from the constant physical punishment he endured over the years. This results in Octopus's body encased in a durable shell with improved life-support systems that provide him with nourishment and other medications needed for his survival. Doctor Octopus can control nanites and use them in various ways from enhancing other technologies and self-repair damaged parts of his body. He has also developed psychokinetic-telepathic control over an army of Octobots.
