A brilliant and respected nuclear physicist, Dr. Otto Octavius designed a set of highly advanced mechanical arms controlled by a brain-computer interface to help him with his atomic physics research. The tentacle arms, resistant to radiation, were capable of great strength and highly precise movements, connected to a harness attached to his body. His work colleagues used to call him Doctor Octopus behind his back, a pun with his real name and because of the four-arms device; aware of this insult, he did not care. During an accidental radiation leakage that ended in an explosion, Octavius’ body was molten into the four tentacle-like mechanical arms, causing severe damage on his brain. Later, he discovered that the radiation (or possibly his own latent mutation) had changed his brain, which meant he could control the movement of the arms using only his thoughts. The tentacles were already surgically removed from his body, although Octavius maintained the ability to telepathically control them from great distances. The scientist then turned to a life of crime, presenting himself as Doctor Octopus, inspired by the derogatory nickname people gave him. In their first face-off, Doctor Octopus defeated Spider-Man, and, after that defeat, the arachnid hero considered giving up his career, but was inspired by Human Torch to continue, and then he won against Doc Ock in their second confrontation. Doctor Octopus became one of the greatest opponents in Spider-Man’s villain gallery, responsible for forming the original Sinister Six group (with the most lethal enemies of the Spider) to fight against the Friendly Neighborhood hero.
