Typical Quote: "Right?  You dare speak to me of right?  I have the right to do anything-- as long as I have the power!  And if you doubt my power, here is a small sample!"

HISTORY
     Once he was Otto Octavius, a brilliant and respected scientist who had designed a set of robotic arms to aid his research into atomic physics. But a freak laboratory accident exposed Octavius to intense radioactivity, grafting his mechanical appendages to his body and granting him complete telepathic control over them. Worst of all, the accident altered Octavius' mind, transforming him from a timid physicist into a criminally insane megalomaniac.
      Armed, quite literally, with four powerful and nearly indestructible tentacles, Octavius took the name Doctor Octopus. He has sought to amass wealth and power through various criminal activities, and has formed gangs, such as the original Sinister Six, in an attempt to dominate crime in New York City. Through the years, Doctor Octopus has shown himself to be one of Spider-Man's most formidable foes, and their battles have proven to be as brutal as any the web-slinger has ever fought.
