Character
Doctor Octopus, whose real name is Otto Octavius, is one of the most iconic villains in the Marvel universe and a recurring adversary of Spider-Man. Created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, he made his first appearance in "The Amazing Spider-Man" #3 in 1963.
Otto Octavius is a brilliant scientist and engineer who, after an accident in his laboratory, is equipped with a mechanical harness with four tentacle-like arms that attach to his back and give him superhuman strength and a precise ability to manipulate objects.
Originally, Otto uses his harness for scientific purposes, but after the accident, he becomes the supervillain known as Doctor Octopus, using his tentacles in criminal activities and facing Spider-Man on multiple occasions.
His intelligence and engineering skills make him a formidable adversary, as he combines his scientific genius with his combat abilities.
