<B>Real Name:</B> Otto Octavius
<B>Group Affiliation:</B> (Former) Sinister Six
<B>Height:</B> 5'9"
<B>Weight:</B> 225 lbs.
<B>Eyes:</B> Brown
<B>Hair:</B> Brown
<B>Powers:</B> Doctor Octopus' abilities derive from his four titanium tentacles. Attached to a stainless-steel harness encircling his lower chest and waist, each telepathically-controlled, telescoping tentacle is capable of moving at speeds of 90 feet per second and can strike with the force of a jackhammer. Each tentacle is about 5 inches in diameter and terminates in three, single-jointed pincers.
In our reality, Otto Octavius was 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.
