Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Dr. Otto Gunther Octavius, also known as Doctor Octopus, is a fictional supervillain that has appeared in comic books published by Marvel Comics. He first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #3 (July, 1963), created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko.A highly intelligent Mad Scientist, Doctor Octopus is one of the greatest foes Spider-Man has ever faced.note He's almost universally considered Spidey's all-time #2 foe after the Green Goblin. He is typically portrayed as a stocky, myopic man who utilizes four powerful, mechanical appendages and is obsessed with proving his own genius and destroying Spider-Man (and not necessarily in that order). The character has appeared in numerous Spider-Man cartoons and video games and is portrayed by Alfred Molina in the 2004 film Spider-Man 2 as the film's main antagonist; Molina would later return to the role in 2021's Spider-Man film as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. An Alternate Universe version of the character appears in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, but to say anything else would be a spoiler. In 2009, Doctor Octopus was ranked as IGN's 28th Greatest Comic Book Villain of All Time.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Born in Schenectady, New York, Otto Octavius had something of an unhappy childhood. His father, Torbert, was abusive and violent towards both Otto and his mother Mary. Otto was determined not to become like his father and put all his effort into his education, regularly scoring top marks. Unfortunately, a combination of Otto's shyness and good school work got him labeled as a "teacher's pet" and he became a target of bullying. Otto eventually became a brilliant and respected nuclear physicist, atomic research consultant, inventor, and lecturer. One of his most iconic inventions was a set of highly advanced mechanical arms controlled via a mind–computer interface to assist him with his research into atomic physics. Unfortunately, there was an accidental radiation leak that ended in an explosion and those wonderful mechanical arms became fused to Octavius's body.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })The accident also seemed to have damaged his brain and the scientist turned to a life of crime. His very first criminal act was taking the hospital hostage and proclaiming himself Doctor Octopus, the derogatory nickname that his co-workers had originally given him. In their first encounter, Octopus defeated Spider-Man by tossing him out of a window. Following this defeat Spider-Man considered giving up his heroic career, but was inspired to continue by the Human Torch and ultimately defeated Doctor Octopus. Since then the Good (or Bad) Doctor has gone on to become one of the most identifiable members of Spider-Man's rogues gallery. He was actually Spider-Man's first recurring Arch-Enemy before the Green Goblin and his mystery overshadowed him. Goblin's death did nothing to raise Dr. Octopus' profile, since other contenders for the Goblin and Venom overshadowed him. He formed the first Sinister Six to fight Spider-Man. He was the villain for one of Spidey's most iconic early arcs as "the Master Planner". He was also indirectly responsible for the death of Gwen Stacy's father George, who died when debris from a building where he and Spider-Man were fighting fell below, and Captain Stacy sacrificed his life to save a child from becoming collateral damage.Dr. Octopus faded from view and prominence in The '80s, with his major storyline, The Owl/Octopus War happening in the pages of the second series The Spectacular Spider-Man (Issues #73-79) rather than the flagship title. In The '90s, writer Tom DeFalco in a number of stories established his backstory, and during the Clone Saga, briefly reworked him into an ally of Spider-Man only for him to be briefly killed off and replaced by Carolyn Trainer, who became Lady Octopus for a brief time, until Defalco brought Octopus back only with his memory of being allies with Peter removed. Dr. Octopus was back and here to stay. He returned to prominence in a series of stories starting from ASM #600 where Peter comes across Octopus' brain scanner and uses it in his attempt to stop a catastrophe. The problem is that the device gives Octopus a scan of Peter's brain. Repeated use of the device over the next 100 issues gives Octopus more and more information to plot the ultimate daring heist. In addition to this, After years of fighting Spider-Man, his body began to succumb to the injuries he had sustained over the years. In one storyline, Ends of the Earth, Dr. Octopus briefly ascended to a global Marvel-wide threat needing Spider-Man and the Avengers to shut him down with Spider-Man dying and decaying in his body leading to the Dying Wish storyline.As a way to prevent his death, Otto switched bodies with Peter Parker using one of his robots and the information from the brain-scanning. Before dying in Otto's body, Peter urged Otto to change for good and succeed the Spider-Man mantle with his last breaths. Otto complied, swearing to both live up to Spider-Man's example but do it his way, i.e. doing good by proving that he's the superior hero, resulting a more brutal, but still trying-to-be-heroic Spider-Man. Unfortunately, he found himself slowly slipping back into evil, starting with his attempted erasure of a fragment of Peter Parker's soul and Jumping Off the Slippery Slope from there. He eventually had a Heel Realization that he was doing more harm than good by the time Peter's soul fragment came Back from the Dead, and relinquished control of Peter's body, erasing his own consciousness as penance. As Otto died, he told Peter that Peter was a better Spider-Man and a better person than Otto (the self-proclaimed Superior Successor) could ever hope to be.As of All-New, All-Different Marvel, it is revealed that Dr. Octopus' mind now resides within the Living Brain, stalkingly watching over Anna Maria. After teaming up with the Jackal during The Clone Conspiracy and temporarily inhabiting a clone version of his old body, he eventually betrayed the Jackal for insulting his love interest. Afterwards, he hijacked a new, powerful experimental clone body. He was then recruited by Armin Zola and HYDRA to aid in destroying Parker Industries, reinventing himself as the "Superior Octopus". After the downfall of the Hydra Empire and the restoration of the true Captain America, and a truce with Peter after Go Down Swinging and Spider-Geddon, Ock once again decides to try and abandon his supervillain ways, seeking to set himself up as the heroic protector of San Francisco in Superior Octopus #1 and the second volume of Superior Spider-Man. Unfortunately it wouldn't last, as Ock made a deal with Mephisto to defeat Spider-Norman. The deal would restore Ock to his old body but with it back to full health. The price being the empathy gained from sharing Peter's memories. | |

| Doctor Octopus (Comic Book) / int_146f4e0 | comment |
Blind Without 'Em: He sometimes has this problem. In his first debut he was near-sighted before the accident but depending on the continuity (and Depending on the Writer) it's sometimes considered a side-effect of the accident that gave him his powers. (In one min-series, he claims that the accident made his eyes sensitive to light, requiring him to wear shaded glasses.) | |

Heel–Face Door-Slam: Prior to the Death of Spider-Man in the Ultimate Universe, he tries to back out of the Green Goblin's latest scheme, declaring he always wanted to be a scientist not a villain, he wants to go back to science, and he'd rather take pride in the fact it was his genetic engineering experiments with spiders that ultimate created Spider-Man. The Green Goblin promptly kills him. | |

Graceful Loser: In the end, Otto acknowledges Peter is the true Superior Spider-Man and willingly gives Parker his body back, even purging his memories to avoid distracting and confusing Peter. When Peter successfully trounces him during their fight in Spider-Verse, Otto admits defeat with begrudging acceptance. | |

Always Someone Better | |
| Doctor Octopus (Comic Book) / int_19d1c1ae | comment |
Always Someone Better: Or in his case, someone worse, as Peter considers him his "runner-up nemesis at best" with Norman Osborn taking up his top slot on the villain totem pole. The reason for this is that Dr. Octopus repeatedly went to jail multiple times, while Green Goblin went 40 years in publication history without facing justice for his crimes. Spider-Man's last major battle with him was a gang war in a '80s storyline at the end of which Dr. Octopus was traumatized by a fear of spiders that Spider-Man himself had to help him overcome later on in ASM #296. And even after that Norman Osborn and Goblin remains a more powerful and dangerous figure, and someone who Otto as Superior Spider-Man failed to do anything against leading him to bring Peter back to stop him. | |

For Science! | |
| Doctor Octopus (Comic Book) / int_234bd900 | comment |
Slightly subverted in the 90s cartoon; Doc Ock still thinks of himself as a scientist over a villain... the problem is, his obsession is with pursuing scientific goals goes to the extent that he's indifferent to any potential harm to people as a result, which is why nobody will take him in as a legitimate scientist. To put this in perspective, his introductory episode has him kidnap Felicia Hardy due to a vendetta against her mother... only this turns out to mostly be a distraction so he can pursue an experiment with creating a fusion reactor, indifferent to the fact that if this goes wrong, the resultant explosion could wipe out half the city. | |

Arch-Enemy | |
| Doctor Octopus (Comic Book) / int_32da548d | comment |
Arch-Enemy: Otto is the main rival to the Green Goblin in regard to Spider-Man. He held this most consistently in the first 100 issues and then only recovered that during Dan Slott's time. Initially, he is the first villain to defeat Spider-Man, the creator and leader of the Sinister Six, the Big Bad of one of Spider-Man's greatest stories, the Master Planner arc. Indirectly he killed Captain George Stacy and irreparably strained Peter's relation with Gwen Stacy. And he put Black Cat, Spider-Man's third great love in the hospital. Then in Dan Slott's run, he managed to take over his body and live his life. However this experience would wind up changing Otto for the better and he would eventually become an anti-hero like Venom. Sadly thanks to Mephisto it didn't stick. | |

| Doctor Octopus (Comic Book) / int_34579385 | comment |
Dr. Octopus was portrayed as a megalomaniac without any redeeming virtues for the first 30 years or so. He was self-interested, arrogant, and vain. His courtship with Aunt May still coincided with him acting as a gangster in a gang-war with Hammerhead (who helpfully for Peter, crashes the wedding between Ock and Aunt May) and motivated by a scheme to win a nuclear power plant that Aunt May inherited. | |

Guess Who I'm Marrying? | |
| Doctor Octopus (Comic Book) / int_4412f4d | comment |
Guess Who I'm Marrying?: Doc Ock was actually marrying May because she was the heir to a private nuclear reactor (dont even ask). He didn't even realize that Spider-Man was her nephew until after he unmasked in Civil War. Brilliantly, he then went into a rant about how stupid he was not to figure it out and how he should have kept up the marriage facade for far longer. | |

Worthy Opponent: While he despises Spider-Man and is obsessed with defeating him, Octavius nonetheless appreciates that Spidey is highly intelligent and respects him as a formidable enemy. In Ultimate Marvel, part of what prompts him to try and give up on villainy is because he decides Spider-Man is so impressive that he ought to be proud of having created him, even if by accident. | |

In the main universe, the original Otto Octavius died at the conclusion of The Superior Spider-Man, while the Otto that appears in all later appearances (except Spider-Verse, which features a time-displaced Otto-as-Spider-Man) feature an AI copy that has hijacked a powerful clone body. In fact, the Spider-Verse adventure sets up the creation of the duplicate since it has Otto learn-then forget-that he is destined to die in the future and take precautions. In-Universe the two are treated as one and the same, though. | |

The Atoner: Much more so than Peter, which is saying quite a bit. He was so moved by learning about the original Spider-Man's past that he decided to use his powers for good instead of for selfish reasons. He's got plenty to atone for, too: nearly destroying the planet for starters, and pretty much every other heinous thing that he's done as Doctor Octopus. This is the only thing keeping him from being a Karma Houdini from the conclusion of Amazing. However, as the series goes on, his quest becomes more driven by his own ego than by any desire to do good, making this a Subverted Trope. | |

We Used to Be Friends: In a few versions, most notably the 90s cartoon, Dr Otto Octavius encouraged a young Peter Parker's love of science, and told him to ignore those who would mock him. They weren't exactly friends, but close enough that Octavius remembers who Peter is when they meet after he's become Dr Octopus. The PS4 incarnation of the character takes it even further, where Otto was practically Peter's surrogate father before his descent into villainy. | |

Affably Evil: In the first annual, he kidnapped Betty Brant and Aunt May Parker, and then gave them tea and cookies while apologizing for neglecting his guests. He also once rented a room from Aunt May and behaved like a perfect gentleman, even helping her around the house. He also came very near to marrying her after she somehow inherited a nuclear plant. In some of his iterations, he protects civilians, or at least refrains from harming them, but his most notable battles, such as the Death of George Stacy, and The Owl/Octopus War shows him sociopathically indifferent to collateral damage, in the climax of the latter he attacks a hospital and at one point cuts an elevator carrying runaway patients and hospital workers which Spider-Man has to stop. | |

ILoveNuclearPower | |
| Doctor Octopus (Comic Book) / int_555ff395 | comment |
I Love Nuclear Power: Doc Ock originally gained his powers from a radiation experiment gone wrong. Doctor Octopus: Year One (set in the original Marvel timeline of the early 60's) embraces this trope, showing that Octavius became obsessed with the power of the atom long before the accident, fantasizing about it to the point of fetishism, and identified with the cleansing atomic fire as a counterpart to his own rage against the world. Subverted heavily, as the original blast of radiation that gave him his powers was revealed to have had a long-term side effect: the radiation prevented his body from properly healing from injury. Coupled with his frequent beatings from foes far more powerful than himself, Otto's body eventually began to shut down and leave his brilliant mind in a decrepit, dying body. | |

Heel–Face Turn | |
| Doctor Octopus (Comic Book) / int_617f0563 | comment |
Heel–Face Turn: Otto takes over as Spider-Man after Peter dies, overwhelmed by Peter's memories and thoughts. Of course, he's still an egomaniac, so he's also motivated by being a better Spider-Man than Peter was. Heel–Face Revolving Door: He sequesters and purges the remnants of Peter from his body, going back on his promise to protect Peter's friends by slaughtering mental representations of them. To be fair, it was because he only saw them as memories and all of Peter's had to go so that he could continue to be Spider-Man. Though Otto's point about how the mental representations are not actually Peter's friends, and "killing" them is not actually breaking the promise Otto made to Peter IS perfectly valid. | |

Even Evil Has Loved Ones | |
| Doctor Octopus (Comic Book) / int_63d861f8 | comment |
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Octavius's relationship with his mother was unhealthy and complicated, but he did care about her. Her death saddened him. In his youth, Octavius was engaged to Mary Alice Anders. Years later, he tried and failed to cure her of AIDS. While occupying Peter Parker's body as Superior Spider-Man, Octavius found himself falling in love with Anna Maria Marconi. To this day, he has a genuine soft spot for Peter's Aunt May. During the Sinister Six Trilogy, when she was believed dead, he interrupted a villainous speech at the Daily Bugle to offer his sincere condolences to Peter about her passing. | |

Drunk with Power | |
| Doctor Octopus (Comic Book) / int_64b303c0 | comment |
Drunk with Power: With the adamantium tentacles he started thinking he was invincible, and acted very rash (going so far as to start using an Evil Laugh) and even tried to Take Over the World for real. It ended badly, and even he himself would later admit it had been a bad idea. | |

Hijacking Cthulhu: He seizes control of the Venom symbiote and forces it to remain bonded to him when it tries to leave him for Flash. The symbiote quickly undermines his control and turns the tables on him fairly quickly, though. | |

His "Superior Octopus" costume is also this as it takes his Superior Spider-Man costume and gives it an Octopus motif, complete with his classic arms. | |

Taken Up to Eleven in the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon, where he depends on his cybernetic tentacles to get around because he was in an accident that rendered him a quadriplegic. If it weren't for his arms, he'd be completely immobile from the neck down. Subverted when, during the series finale, he uses nanotech to rebuild his body and undo the damage. | |

Unwitting Pawn | |
| Doctor Octopus (Comic Book) / int_733e007a | comment |
Unwitting Pawn: He considered the second incarnation of the Sinister Six to be this. In one three part story, Fusion, a villain who Spider-Man had previously called a "poor man's Mysterio", thought he had brainwashed Doc Ock into being his slave. Boy, was he wrong. Doc's iron will couldn’t be scratched, and he had been using Fusion as his own Unwitting Pawn the whole time. When he no longer needed him, Fusion found himself on the receiving end of a Curb-Stomp Battle, as Ock beat him severely and left him broken, bloody, and barely alive for Spider-Man to find as an example of anyone who challenged him. | |

Multi-Armed Multitasking: He was very good at using his tentacles to do this. According to the most reliable source, he could use his tentacles in combination with his regular hands to do one complex task and two simple ones at the same time. And as the above Trope shows, there were also several stories where the "complex task" was a heated battle. | |

Back from the Dead: Kaine murdered him at one point in the 90s, but he was resurrected by the Hand with the help of Carolyn Trainer and Angelina Brancale. Zigzagged as Superior Spider-Man. After the Spider-Verse incident (where he discovers that Peter has regained his body and the Otto from Peter's present is dead), Otto created an AI copy of his psyche intending to retake Peter's body at a later point. However, he later decided to contract Miles Warren to create a superior body, a young adult frame made from a fusion of his and Peter's DNA, and took over that instead. | |

Much more so than Peter, which is saying quite a bit. He was so moved by learning about the original Spider-Man's past that he decided to use his powers for good instead of for selfish reasons. He's got plenty to atone for, too: nearly destroying the planet for starters, and pretty much every other heinous thing that he's done as Doctor Octopus. This is the only thing keeping him from being a Karma Houdini from the conclusion of Amazing. | |

Heel–Face Revolving Door: He sequesters and purges the remnants of Peter from his body, going back on his promise to protect Peter's friends by slaughtering mental representations of them. To be fair, it was because he only saw them as memories and all of Peter's had to go so that he could continue to be Spider-Man. Though Otto's point about how the mental representations are not actually Peter's friends, and "killing" them is not actually breaking the promise Otto made to Peter IS perfectly valid. | |

Evil Mentor: To both Carolyn Trainer (aka Lady Octopus) and Angelina Brancale (aka Stunner) two of the very small number of people to show Undying Loyalty to him. He was also this to Peter himself in the1990s animated series. | |

Dr. Jerk | |
| Doctor Octopus (Comic Book) / int_9ae85487 | comment |
Dr. Jerk: He was like this before the accident which made him a villain, rude and egotistical, the biggest reason why his co-workers called him "Dr. Octopus" behind his back. (Part of it, of course, was due to stress caused by his mother's death, which also made him careless and caused the accident in the first place.) | |

Evil Counterpart | |
| Doctor Octopus (Comic Book) / int_9b54d536 | comment |
Evil Counterpart: To Peter, on the scale of being a scientist, using smarts for evil purposes and being based on an eight-legged creature. The biggest difference between the two is that Otto had a couple decades of cynicism ground into him before getting his powers. He plays it even straighter as in recent times, he has acquired a body and costume very similar to Peter's own. | |

Took a Level in Badass: That one time he got adamantium tentacles. He beat the Hulk unconscious. He gave Iron Man such a thrashing he considered retirement, setting him up as a villain who can hang with the big guns. His comeback as the Superior Octopus. A brand-new set of powerful tentacles, but now complemented by an actually superhumanly powerful body, Spider-powers included. | |

Double Consciousness | |
| Doctor Octopus (Comic Book) / int_9d647997 | comment |
Double Consciousness: a long-standing characterization attempting to resolve the varying depictions mentioned in Depending on the Writer. Somewhere between his traumatic childhood, the neurological damage from being fused to a malfunctioning Brain–Computer Interface, the nebulous, possibly imagined, active influences of said system, brain damage from years of fighting well beyond his organic body's capacity, his own megalomania, personal fixations, and countless other issues, Otto is in a constant state of identity crisis. He is torn between his identity as the confident, ruthless, and brilliant supervillain Doctor Octopus... and the insecure and troubled man desperately seeking vindication, Dr. Otto Octavius. While not a true split personality, even Doc Ock has no idea what he really wants beyond his latest scheme, and what he'll do to get it. | |

Cut Lex Luthor a Check | |
| Doctor Octopus (Comic Book) / int_9fbf8969 | comment |
Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Averted in most of his incarnations: He was a scientist who invented and used his arms for legitimate research purposes. It took a lab accident fusing the arms to his body and driving him insane to turn him into a supervillain. This insanity, then, is why he doesn't just give up on being a supervillain and go back to being a scientist, usually. Slightly subverted in the 90s cartoon; Doc Ock still thinks of himself as a scientist over a villain... the problem is, his obsession is with pursuing scientific goals goes to the extent that he's indifferent to any potential harm to people as a result, which is why nobody will take him in as a legitimate scientist. To put this in perspective, his introductory episode has him kidnap Felicia Hardy due to a vendetta against her mother... only this turns out to mostly be a distraction so he can pursue an experiment with creating a fusion reactor, indifferent to the fact that if this goes wrong, the resultant explosion could wipe out half the city. Subverted in Ultimate Marvel; when Norman Osborn tries to recruit the Sinister Six, Octavius actually refuses to join in, pointing out that the whole idea is stupid, that he's never really had a particular enmity for Spider-Man and, if anything, he's proud of Spidey, since he engineered the spiders that made Spider-Man in the first place, and so Spider-Man is basically the living pinnacle of his work. Sadly, Norman promptly kills Otto for refusing to join in. Subverted in the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon; Doc Ock is being forced to work as Norman Osborn's black ops scientist after his death was faked by Osborn, and he simply can't get out from under Osborn's thumb. Of course, by the time he does escape, he's so full of hate and rage that he decides to become a supervillain in his own right. Similar is done in the new Spider-Man (PS4) game. Otto, with Peter as his research assistant, starts off trying to create good-as-new prosthetic limbs for the disabled, but as is expected, forces (namely, Norman Osborn and Otto's buried vitriol towards him for past sins) conspire to rob him of his sanity and turn him into Doc Ock. Subverting this is Invoked with the Superior Octopus storyline; Otto wants to use his new body and his new costumed identity to start over and become a hero, having developed a taste for it during his time as the Superior Spider-Man. | |

Protagonist Journey to Villain: Sort of. His series starts off as a recovering villain that uses the methods of an Anti-Hero, seemingly becoming more heroic over time. Later on, he becomes more of a Well-Intentioned Extremist and uses increasingly morally questionable methods to achieve his goals, and ultimately leaves many of those that are close to him alienated by his actions. | |

Hypocritical Humor: In Spider-Verse, when Otto and Peter face off for the final time, Otto sneers at Peter for ganging up on him with Spider-Girl and Spider-Woman. Peter is quick to point out he has no right to judge, since he founded the Sinister Six with the same intent in mind. During Mighty Avengers, he yells at "Spider Hero" (no hypen) for stealing his identity, and demands he remove his costume immediately. This'd be the same guy running around in someone else's body. | |

He changed his mind from giving the Vulture money so he would stop his crimes, to trying to kill him.

Ghost Memory | |
| Doctor Octopus (Comic Book) / int_bfec296b | comment |
Ghost Memory: One of his new "powers", in a sense. He got these memories from Peter, and it's what inspired him to go through his Heel–Face Turn in the first place. He loses them after purging the remnants of Peter from his body. | |

Evil Cripple | |
| Doctor Octopus (Comic Book) / int_c0afd51a | comment |
Evil Cripple: Years of super-powered fights have taken a toll on his body. Taken Up to Eleven in the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon, where he depends on his cybernetic tentacles to get around because he was in an accident that rendered him a quadriplegic. If it weren't for his arms, he'd be completely immobile from the neck down. Subverted when, during the series finale, he uses nanotech to rebuild his body and undo the damage. The version of him in Spider-Man (PS4) is on his way to being this even before he becomes a villain due to a neurodegenerative condition that's causing him to slowly lose his motor skills. Peter estimates that within a year, he'll be completely paralyzed. | |

CharacterDeath | |

Character Death: Technically, the original Otto Octavius died at the conclusion of The Superior Spider-Man in 2013, while the Otto that appears in all later appearances (except Spider-Verse, which features a time-displaced Otto-as-Spider-Man) is an AI copy that has hijacked a powerful clone body. While the two are treated as one and the same, AI!Otto lacks the memory of Otto's final days. | |

Pride | |
| Doctor Octopus (Comic Book) / int_c39846a3 | comment |
Pride: Octavius' most prominent recurring failure is his arrogance; even when he's trying to be a good guy, he's still hugely ego-driven. For example, in Superior Octopus #1, he rescues a bus full of people from being robbed by the Night Shift, boasting about how they cannot hope to compete with the advantages his intelligence gives them even as he dishes out a Curb-Stomp Battle. When he returns to his lair, he is shown dismissing the city's original protectors, such as Dare Devil and the original Spider-Woman, as "weaklings" incapable of doing the job, and arrogantly proclaiming that even the local high-level supervillains like Graviton and Count Nefaria, despite being "possessed of near-godlike power" (in his words), are no threat to him. | |

In fact, the Spider-Verse adventure sets up the creation of the duplicate since it has Otto learn-then forget-that he is destined to die in the future and take precautions.

An Arm and a Leg: In The Owl/Octopus War, after putting the Black Cat in the hospital, Spider-Man was so consumed with rage, he tore Ock's metal arms off. Because they are physically meshed into his spinal column, this was incredibly painful for Doc Ock, and in the aftermath, it had to painfully reinserted by his minions and Otto insisted they do it without anesthetic because he wants to feel the pain he's going to put Spider-Man and Black Cat through. | |

Western Terrorists: Some of Ock's actions over the years were outright terrorism. This includes an airplane hijacking of a foreign diplomat, holding him hostage in exchange for money and safe-passage at an airport (ASM #88) and his plot to bomb New York with a neutron bomb in The Owl/Octopus War and his actions in the Ends of the Earth. Likewise in Spider-Man (PS4), Otto branches into bioterrorism where he launches an aerosol agent called "Devil's Breath" spreading an epidemic in Manhattan that kills several people, including Aunt May. | |

In one three part story, Fusion, a villain who Spider-Man had previously called a "poor man's Mysterio", thought he had brainwashed Doc Ock into being his slave. Boy, was he wrong. Doc's iron will couldn’t be scratched, and he had been using Fusion as his own Unwitting Pawn the whole time. When he no longer needed him, Fusion found himself on the receiving end of a Curb-Stomp Battle, as Ock beat him severely and left him broken, bloody, and barely alive for Spider-Man to find as an example of anyone who challenged him. | |

Jerkass: In terms of personality, he's really not someone you'd want to hang around with. This trait nearly got him kicked off of the Avengers. Jerk with a Heart of Gold: However, he's also doing the right thing because he feels that it's what the real Spider-Man would do. Even still, the "Jerk" aspect of this can be stretched a bit, considering that part of the reason he's being good is due to simply outdo the original. Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: His actions are increasingly less heroic and more extreme. This definitely kicks in by the time he erases Peter. He subverts this, though with his final actions. | |

Easily Forgiven: He was a terrorist, and killed many innocent people over the years, and by collateral damage, is responsible for the death of Captain George Stacy, Peter's Parental Substitute, and then he hacked Peter's body and hijacked his life while ruining his life and career. Yet, the minute Otto affects redemptive traits, Depending on the Writer, Peter says "things are square" between them. | |

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good | |
| Doctor Octopus (Comic Book) / int_f8e010ce | comment |
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Much of Otto's actions as the Superior Spider-Man backfire as he can't grasp that being a hero means more than just showing yourself as "the best." As it turns out, Otto lets Peter come back to his body with the realization Peter is a true hero. Thanks to a time-travel escapade, Otto learns he loses to Peter and downloads his brain patterns into a robot assistant for Anna Maria. When Anna Maria talks of Otto and how terrible he was, Otto thinks he needs to take back Peter's body to get Anna Maria back. He then decides that Peter's mind "hurt my own" and by getting his original brain back, he can get Anna Maria's love once more. Otto literally cannot understand that Anna Maria will never love someone with such a record of murderous actions as Otto. | |

Running Gag | |

During Mighty Avengers, he yells at "Spider Hero" (no hypen) for stealing his identity, and demands he remove his costume immediately. This'd be the same guy running around in someone else's body. | |

Depending on the Writer | |
| Doctor Octopus (Comic Book) / int_fdc4fab4 | comment |
Depending on the Writer: Much like Doctor Doom, Otto can be a Noble Demon Anti-Villain in one story and a remorseless mass-murdering psychopath in another, though unlike Doom, not much Arc Welding has been done to make the two takes in line with one another, with the writers of the former variation downplaying the latter: Dr. Octopus was portrayed as a megalomaniac without any redeeming virtues for the first 30 years or so. He was self-interested, arrogant, and vain. His courtship with Aunt May still coincided with him acting as a gangster in a gang-war with Hammerhead (who helpfully for Peter, crashes the wedding between Ock and Aunt May) and motivated by a scheme to win a nuclear power plant that Aunt May inherited. Tom Defalco in a number of stories in The '90s sought to deepen his character and created a sympathetic backstory to heighten similarities between him and Peter and also to better allow Ock to play a new fraternal bond with Peter with mutual admiration as a scientist. Aspects of which seeped in the Raimi movies and other versions. This created a problem for writers more familiar with one take rather than the other. Case in point, in 2002 both Paul Jenkins and J. Michael Straczynski (writing the titles "Spectacular Spider-Man" and "Amazing Spider-Man", respectively, both part of 616) did a story with Ock as the villain; the latter has Ock pursuing a vendetta against an amoral corporate yuppie who stole his tech, but shows Otto going out of his way to save civilians (then leaving Spider-Man to die, because "you're not a civilian") and suggests what he really wants is legitimate scientific and business success; the former portrays him as an utterly ruthless Manipulative Bastard professional criminal motivated entirely by ego and Greed who, in the words of Spidey, (doesn't) care enough about anyone to hate them, Ock responding with a "touché" before savagely beating on Spidey (remarking he's an exception). His hatred of Spider-Man is the one consistent character trait, but otherwise he could be saving the innocent one minute and trying to kill all life on Earth out of spite the next. At some point he's mercenary, trying to bait old ladies so that he can appropriate their inheritances, in others he plans to destroy New York just to prove he's his "superiority" and establish himself as the greatest intellect of his day (in other words, a terrorist). | |
