History

Dr. Otto Octavius was a lab assistant to Norman Osborn and secretly a spy for Osborn's business rival, Justin Hammer. He was caught in a lab accident (the same one that turns Norman into the Green Goblin), grafting his traditional metal arms onto his body. After this incident, he was able to communicate with these mechanical arms via telepathy. He modified his arms to have the power to morph into different shapes, and then sought revenge against Justin Hammer, but Spider-Man intervened. Although Octavius was defeated by Spider-Man, Justin Hammer perished due to a heart attack caused by Doctor Octopus' attack.

Afterwards, Octavius was brought into S.H.I.E.L.D.. custody where he, along with Norman Osborn, formed the Ultimate Six, comprised of some of Spider-Man's rogues gallery and an unwilling Spider-Man himself. In a battle between the Six and the Ultimates on the White House lawn, Octopus was taken down by the Wasp. Octavius was separated from his tentacles and held in a different prison far away from them.

Octavius later found out that his ex-wife was giving the rights to use his likeness in the Spider-Man film. Outraged, he summoned his tentacles from the S.H.I.E.L.D. facility and went on a rampage, until he was once again stopped by Spider-Man. Back in S.H.I.E.L.D. custody, Nick Fury melted Doctor Octopus' mechanical arms in front of him and instructed the guards to watch the melting mechanism for at least an hour afterward to make sure the arms would not try to escape. However, a spare set of arms existed within a bunker belonging to Norman Osborn. Plans for these remain to be seen.^[1]

Otto Octavius was responsible for all the Spider-Man clones, including an older clone of Peter believing itself to be Richard Parker.^[2] His experimentation and research was done for the FBI in order to find a way to create super soldiers so the U.S. Government wouldn't have to be reliant on Nick Fury's monopoly on the Ultimates; he appeared alongside Fury, SHIELD and the Fantastic Four in the storming of an Osborn Industries plant, and was outside Fury's jurisdiction.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

• Ferrokinesis: He has the ability to manipulate metal. He creates a new set of arms out of metal scraps and battles both Spider-Man and Spider-Woman before being knocked out. How similar or dissimilar his power is to that of Magneto is unknown, because his use of these powers is seen in only two issues (and a very minor portion of the first).

  Abilities

He is a brilliant scientist.

Paraphernalia

Equipment

Doctor Octopus has a harness with four tentacles worn at the waist.

Transportation

He moves around quickly by walking on his four tentacles(although he has been shown to require only two to walk on).

Weapons

A number of projectile weapons are incorporated into the ends of his tentacles, which can also be used as melee weapons.

Notes

Octavius first appeared in Ultimate Spider-Man #2, and later as Doctor Octopus in Ultimate Spider-Man #14.
