*"Intelligence is not a privilege it's a gift. And you use it for the good of mankind"* -Doctor Octopus
Ayyy your the same guy that comments on gamerstyle808. Wys g
@@slade1783 yes I am
Damn
He tells me you're brilliant. Brilliant but lazy
“Hello peter” doctor octopus
Alfred Molinas Doctor Octopus and Willem Dafoes Green Goblin are basically my entire childhood.
Mine too
Same
Back when the villains were just as great as the hero... the Raimi films were really good at this..
@@vladnesas5767 Absolutely
Same for me too, i loved the Raimi flims and i loved their return in the MCU Spider-Man No Way Home
Gotta love how early comics just used radiation for every wacky power they could think of
Well it was post-WWII after all.
Not just comics. Godzilla etc.
Not just a cure for cancer anymore, radiation explains freak accidents and super powers! Get some now!
In Japan, radiation creates monsters. In America, radiation creates superheroes. Kind of on the nose, huh
Shows how little we understood it back then
One great thing about Spider Man 2 was how it shows how Doc Ocs arms was directly infused into his spine via many, many neural needle. The visuals, the expression of pain , the way they carry it out was simply amazing.
That scene made Dr Octopus my favourite villain of Spiderman. Definitely worth the return in Spiderman: No Way Home.
The way they introduced it was natural and subtle too, they didn't have to talk about it at all but it helps that they did
You forgot the hyphen!
I love it how the art on the comics gets better as he tells the story due to the change in time and technology
Love that aspect so much on how much aesthetics change throughout the decades and time. Making things cooler and cooler and slicker!
@@Gadget-Walkmen well said man, well said
@OVERHAND The hell are you eve moaning and whining about? He doesn't look ridiculous at all unless you're just whining about him being bisexual. His character design is fine because it's Jonathan kent, not clark kent.
One of spider man’s most iconic villains next to the green goblin.
Possibly the better villain than Green goblin
@@luisvelez1952 possibly.
@@luisvelez1952 you have a right to your own opinion but goblin killed spideys gf, doc ock just took over his body
Green Goblin started as a very unimportant enemy, was presented as a crazy dude who bombed a kid's party. He killed Gwen, and that's about all he's done in the Spider-Man comics. He's only had like 10 appearances in total. Spends most of his history not remembering he's evil or simply DEAD, with other goblins taking his place, even Harry's been around probably more than Norman. When he's been alive; he spent his time fighting Cap, Iron Man, Cyclops and others. He's more a Marvel villain than he's ever been a Spidey villain.
Dock Ock defeated Spider-Man for the first time, was presented as the big bad guy. He's got an alter-ego known as the Master Planner who was again marketed, promoted and written as Spidey's greatest villain in the comics at the time, he almost killed Spidey in the greatest Spider-Man comic. Was chosen as the greatest threat among the most popular villains of the silver age by the writers for a reason, making him founder and leader of the Sinister Six. He caused the death of Captain Stacy and destroyed Gwen and her relationship with Peter even before her death. He's always found himself returning to Spidey and also the other way around. They feared and respected each other because they knew each other very well. He's been fighting Spidey every other week, and at the end of Vol 1 he didn't "just took his body", he took Peter's life defeating him for the last time in the 616 universe. GG has no chance. Ock is the superior villain.
@@geenhaaien And became Spider-Man and one of the most iconic comic books of all time
*"The power of the sun in the palm of my hand"* -Doctor Octopus
Rosie!!
only been a few days and the ramitards are already flooding the comments
@@sub-zero5433 shush
Love how the TAS episode "Make a Wish" references the Nullifier storyline where Spider-Man is brainwashed into working alongside Doctor Octopus
That was the story before Captain Stacy died, right? Ock didn’t really KILL Stacy!
8:26 Bruh, you gave me a mini heart attack! I was about to say “How the ever-living f*** did Doctor Octopus get his hands on the ultimate nullifier?!?!”
Glad I stand corrected!
6:13 Not quite. Octavius defeats Peter in their first fight and easily throw some out of the building. Peter is so discouraged because it's the first time since receiving his powers that he's been beaten hand to hand. He contemplates quitting as Spider-Man it even goes so far as to tell Jamison by phone that he would not be able to get any more photos of Spider-Man. It's not until he attends a motivational speech by Johnny storm that convinces him to get back into the webs and confront Doc Ock again, this time using his scientific acumen to create a substance that would fuse his arms together and enable him to land a knockout punch. It's one of those moments that solidified the friendship between Spidey and the human torch.
One of the best storylines for Dr. octopus outside of the comics is from the PS4 game.
The best Dr Octopus story was in Twisted Toyfare Theater when he married Aubt May. Do whatever you can to find that book. That shit is hilarious
I love the scene in Ock's mind of him as Spider man's villains vs Peter and his friends, and when Captain Stacey goes down and Peter cries out, Ock just replies "who?"
Cold as ice.
12:34 - While each arm can lift 3 tons, his human legs could not sustain 12 tons while the four mechanical legs did the lifting, so really he can lift 6 tons maximum while the other two plant themselves on the ground to bear the weight.
What if he lies on his back and thus the harness?
@@tranqle73 He will likely go through the floor, but if he's on stable earth outside I guess it will work.
it’s weird because he originally had to manually control his arms through those 4 notches on the harness, after the explosion he can somehow control them mentally
it’s random but i guess that’s comics in the 60s
Really hope Arris makes a reference to that time when Doc Oct could fire energy blasts from his mouth.
DR OCTA-MOTHERF***ING-GONAPUS
FIRIN MY LAZER
Even when i was a child, and didn't know anything about the comics themselves, I knew that venom, green goblin and doc ock all were candidates for Spider-Mans archnemesis and I've held that belief to this day. Glad to see it being validated here.
My favorite version of Doc Ock is either from Spider-Man 2 or Spider-Man PS4. I can’t decide.
Same! I have a deep love for the Otto that takes Peter under his wing and the relationship that comes from that.
It’s better than the comics imo
Both are amazing and seeing a comic crossover where they meet would be awesome
My favorite Doctor Octopus outside of the original is the one from Spectacular Spider-Man. Peter Macnichol did an amazing job as Doc Ock.
Yes! My favourite Spider-Man villain and Spider-Man's TRUE archenemy! Green Goblin is too much like the Joker. At least Doctor Octopus feels unique.
Nah Spideys arch nemesis is obviously Looter
@@wowisntitanamazinglyamazin9550 How dare you guys ignore the Stunning Stilt-Man!
@@VarjoPira guys, i think u are all forgetting Spidey's true arch nemesis and greatest villan in all of fiction...
Big Wheel!!!
@@Andreinic97 what about the incredible Jack-O-Lantern!?!
@@garlicsalt317 You're all missing Windsor Glastonbury- the Chairman! He turns people into chairs!
Doc Ock could've become a hero after being inside Pete's body for so long. I haven't finished the video, but it would be kinda cool to see that happen.
I'm still holding out for Sandman to become a good guy again
He did. But like all things Marvel, it was eventually reverted in the silliest fashion possible.
He certainly respect's Peter's abilities far more now. Especially after what he, himself; did to Matt Gargan as Superior Spider-Man.
One of my favourite Spider-Man villains seeing him in NWH was one hell of a nostalgia trip and one I won’t soon forget
Superior Octopus was a great concept they should've kept it going.
Doc Ock is by far my favorite villain in Marvel! I love him and his relationship with Peter Parker so much!
Spider-Man: "I wish I could have a villain that can give me a run for my money"
Me: Be careful what you wish for Parker.
YESSS! The Villain laughter!
Can't wait to see Alfred Molina reprise his role in No Way Home!
This aged perfectly.
It did
Finally, Doc Ock Rocks!

Mine too
🆒
Will there be a history of Marvels Scorpion
I second this request. I unfortunately don’t dont know practically anything about him
They do a history of Vulture
@@Earth-uu3nf YES and Mysterio
I second this request along with the history of Sandman, Electro, Kurt Conners the Lizard, Rhino, Kraven the Hunter, Chameleon, Morbius, Alistair Smythe the Ultimate Spider Slayer and Loxias_Crown AKA Hunger
Scorpion is like my favourite spider-man villian. I really want a history of,him
Alright we’re starting this is off with good one!
Sam Rami’s Doctor Octavious is the one I grew up on so I’ve always felt like deep down he was a good but troubled man who needed help. No Way Home made me happy that he had in a sense be redeemed, and superior Spider-Man gave me a similar feeling, but more complicated with how he ended up changing. I hate calling him “Doctor Octopus” because it seemed like an insult to me so I always call him Doctor Octavious.
I'm surprised Variant Comics hasn't talked about the history of Doctor Octopus during the time when Spider-Man 2 came out in theaters. I'm not complaining, but everybody should know the history and powers of Doctor Octopus by now.
It's amazing cause he's been out for a long time they just didn't replaced him. I'm very happy 😁
The power of the sun, in the palm of my hand. Everytime I learn these
I got a feeling the new movie won't turn him back into a villain, the trailer doesn't seem to imply that, it seems like deliberate misderect so we don't know he's going to be a good guy in the end.
Well I hope he’s a villain because if he’s not who’s gonna make the sinister six without ock huh
@@lrbmonty I'm not saying he won't, odds are he will be for maybe half the movie, but then get another redemption arc so spiderman 2 isn't controdicted
@@rogueguardian true but when doctor strange brings all the villains back to there times ock is dead unless he has a extra large scuba suit to survive drowning
@@lrbmonty
They aren't dead, it's obvious that the spell pulls them from a moment they were still alive
@@jvbon646 oh I know but my point is when strange sents them back to the moment when they do die they are dead
For as much as I love Alfred Molina’s take on the character, my favorite Doctor Octopus has to be the one from Spider-Man PS4.
But, to each their own.
Variant Comics is the only Variant I can’t get enough of
Welcome to Variant, where we love comics more than Metroid Dread is nearing the final stages of completion!
(If ya know, you know)
Did Edison sleep before he turned on the light?
Did Marconi sleep before he turned on the radio?
Did Beethoven sleep before he wrote the 5th?
did jahseh rest before he took the bloodiest shit of 2014?
edison was a fraud
Always thought it was neat that Doctor Octopus was born in my hometown of Schenectady NY, funny how little details like that instantly make him one of my favorites 🤷♂️
One of my favorite comic book villains of all time
Obviously Alfred Molinas Doc Ock is near perfect and is easily my favorite incarnation of the character but I think that PS4 Doc Ock is the second best iteration of the character because you get to see the good side of Otto and how much the neural interface affects his mind.
To me, the best was PS4 due to his and Peter connection which make me sad how Otto became Doc Ock in the end.
Alfred Molina is good and all, but I personally doesn't like how he shook off his wife death and proceed to destroy the city.
As for bonus, my third favorite Otto was from Spectacular Spider-man as he went from being Osborn weak employee to becoming an arrogant mafia boss man.
@@johnathanholmes1297 PS4 Otto is great. His descent into evil is so sad and you can really tell Peter cares for him. Him kinda quickly moving past his wife’s death is a bit annoying but it never bothered me too much because I always just attributed it to the neural interface affecting his mind. In the PS4 game it always felt like Doc had complete control over the arms and the arms were not intelligent at all. In Spider-Man 2 there are multiple instances where it’s shown the arms are somewhat intelligent and can influence Docs decisions and thoughts. All that said, I completely agree that PS4 Doc Ock is awesome.
@@tannerblakely1475 True. I just love the idea of Otto being Peter's mentor in most variations which is why PS4 and Spider-man 2 are my favorites. Whereas Spectacular Spider-man (series) Otto Octavius, Oliva Octavius, and Spider-man: The Animated Series Otto is just ranked 3rd, 4th, and 5th on my list.
Of course, if we add in the comics, then the OG Version is ranked #3 followed by Ultimate Series as #4, and then Oliva as #5.
I have been waiting for this episode for years! Thank you!!!
Well Dr Octopus is finally going to be in more than 1 live action Movies
3 tons per limb but if you put 3 tons in every limb he would need to support 12 tons on his legs... So it is safe to say he can support 6 tons since he would need 2 limbs to support him standing.
And while he is lying?
@@938oooo so he can benchpress 12 tons :P
The cast for the sam Sami Spider-Man trilogy was casted so perfectly from
All the villains to harry and peter, Jj,
3:36 a little on the nose spiderman. Definitely humble.
I guess I'll be that jerk but wouldn't he technically be the fourth to appear since Tinkerer was in the vulture comic?
The time Ock married Aunt May is a good read also
Doctor Octopus is probably my favorite Spider-Man villain, the Superior Spider-Man stuff is where it first happened and the fantastic Spider-Man PS4 sealed it. He's someone who is a true threat for Peter on a personal and intellectual level, not just physically.
9:09 It's also partially Peter's fault because he created a variant on his web fluid with chemical he uses to develop his pictures to interfere with the telepathic control Octavius has with his arms. Exposure to the webbing laced with this stuff causes him to lose control of the tentacles and that's why he accidentally destroyed the chimney that leads to George Stacy sacrificing himself to protect the boy from the falling debris.
Heh, I made the arch trio in Marvel Crisis Protocol with out planning too.
This is hands down my favorite Spiderman Villain of all time. Can you do Kraven next?
My go to for comic book info. Love the channel and wish all the best for it.
Been waiting for this one!!
Ock's also been voiced by top-notch voice actors in animation: Efrem Zimbalist Jr. In Spider-Man: The Animated Series and Peter MacNicol in Spectacular Spider-Man.
Finally a History of video on Doctor Octopus!!!!
2:07 That is the most likely reason they appeared as the main villain in each film of Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy. However, I will always consider Green Goblin to be Spider-Man’s *true* archenemy.
My favorite month :D The month of Villains!
Also, We have Demons is looking interesting and cool so far!
I'm so excited for Spider-Man no way home anyone else?❤🖤👏
Remember when Peter Died And Otta took over his body and The Community Lost their Collective Minds. People who never even Read a Comic book was Sending Death threats and was Just overall Pissed for 3 years. Good times......Remember when Captain America was secretly a Hydra Agent and People lost their Collective Minds and......
Love ❤ these videos bro
AHHH VILLAINS MONTH
I enjoy being a nerd and having so many other people get excited over comics just as much as me. Also gents, if you’re gf doesn’t make fun of you for being a nerd she ain’t the one for you; yes she may make fun of you but she’s prob just excited to see you happy over things you enjoy! I know from experience.
Alfred Molina really look like doc ock from comics
I'm ready for Doc Oc's return. Let's goooooo!
Doc Oc is one of the best villains of all time. Let's not forget that while he had Aunt May kidnapped, he took exceptional care of her, offering tea and treats. And as Superior Spider-Man, he learned that Peter had been holding back on them this entire time when he accidentally punched Scorpion's jaw CLEAN OFF HIS FACE. And by that, learned more respect for Peter. Also, I still think the origin in Spider-Man 2 movie was the best, and Alfred Molina the best there ever was.
Thank you! 😇
I'd also recommend Daredevil Vol.1 #165. Although only a single issue, Doc Ock vs. Ol' Hornhead is a really good fight.
very cool!!!
I wish that the Marvel Cinematic Universe would do their own versions of each character maybe using old actors to reprise their roles.Willem Dafoe reprising his role as Green Goblin(but Green Goblin in a more sinister form),Alfred Molina should return as Doctor Octopus(but his story more connected to Norman Osborn to make it easier to digest and make the two more connected),John Cena as SandMan(but his story from Spider-Man 3 being heavily used)
You predicted both Willem and Alfred reprising their roles in No Way Home. However John Cena doesn't play Sandman in the film. They brought back Thomas Haden Church instead to reprise the role from Spider-Man 3.
Actually Arris, Otto can lift 8 tons with each arm, therefore he could lift at least 32 tons.
There was also the time Reed Richards fought Doc Ock, trying to get his help to save Sue and her unborn child.
Need to read it! What's the issue number?
@@samfrito Oh good golly, that was years ago. A quick search tells me #267, June, 1984 I believe. I hope that helps.
I would like if you did a look through on the recent Crime Syndicate series
Awesome 👏
It's about time you did the history of Doctor_Octopus since Alfred Molina brought the character of life in the second Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movie.
Oh can't wait to watch
I loved both Superior Spider-Man runs, other than the ending of the second. I hate that all of Ock's character development was One More Day'd back into his old self.
I love your comic book story telling. I can't wait to get my disability so I can start buying comic books again. I'm 51 an I love comics. I been collecting since the 80's.
One of my fave Villains!!
It’s crazy how Batman and Spider-Man is my Two favorite superhero’s and 1/3 is because of their villains.
Amazing character
Otto Octavius / Doc Ock is one of my favorites.
Villains month aka the greatest time to be alive
My 5 favorite Spiderman Villains
1 Green Goblin
2 Kingpin
3 Venom
4 Doctor Octopus
5 Hobgoblin
I can name my top 30 Spiderman villains because of how many great villains he has.
2:42 Actually his childhood was first revealed in Spider-Man Unlimited #3, and THEN expanded in Spider-Man/Doctor Octopus: Year One.
Could you do a History Vid about the Superman Villain, Mongol?
Yesss love villians month
10:41 ANOTHER GREAT STATEMENT.
superior spiderman was probably the best Doc ock story arc.
The mastermind of masterminds
Bro, I wish they kept some of comic otto's bulk an MCU otto that is bulked out would be awesome.
I always felt doctor octopus was a more suitable arch nemesis for Spiderman the the green goblin
Iconic character!
I'd love it if they brought in his relationship with Aunt May into the movies more. In the comics they leaned so hard on both ways of Aunt May being the only person who had compassion for him post accident in ways Ock discussed in his private moments. However it also leaned into that being BS and him lying to May and/or himself really deepened his character in ways the films haven't IMO.
Variant could you make more videos on the more obscure characters?
