In a way, his mother was even worse than his father. His father stole his childhood, but his mother stole his entire life.
Always been my favorite spiderman villain, he has a backstory similar to peter in a way, both grew up unpopular and bullied with a love for science, both have radiation experiments gone wrong resulting in their super powers, only difference is doc turns villainous.
Honestly I like the origin where him and Peter actually have a history with one another it seemed really tragic if you have to fight your own mentor
Same. His origin in the 90's Animated Series made him one if my favorite villains.
I don’t
If he only met him as a child, sure. But I think Norman would work better at that. The man he saw as another father figure turned into the worst nightmare of his life.
PS4 made him even better. Might be my favorite modern (post-2000) incarnation.
Duckalie I wish Things didn't happen the way they did in the Game he was a good man with a great mind that could of brought the world into
Age of TECHNOLOGY
Ok
What about Alfred Molina's portrayal in Spider-Man 2?
@@Tulf42 good for very different reasons. I like PS4’s more because of his relationship with Peter.
@@thefreelancequeen fair enough. Would have been great though if Peter and Ock had similar relationship all the way back to spider-man(2002).
He's my favorite villain merely for the fact that we both share the same name, which is rather uncommon.
Wow
Otto is a cool name
His back story is a bit sad
Good thing he's wasn't hurt or anything like what happen to Hammerhead in Italy and America right?
Same with hammerhead an kingpin an all villains an heroes origin an life
Its heartbreaking hearing him, in his origin scene in The Spectacular Spiderman say as his last words while he was still sane, those words being "But Ive been good..." in a defeated and hopeless voice
Wow! His mom was terrible
i know right
It wasn’t her fault for being with someone but he always remember her
I actually have that comic in my dresser drawer right now! I really like how they had it that he still loved his ex-fiancee and during the fight with Spider-Man he just...gave up...once his experiment failed that would have otherwise saved her life. No outrage that he couldn't fail because he was so smart. No taking his emotions out in the fight and becoming that much more deadly a foe. No...he just GAVE. UP.
His origins in Spider-Man 2 and the ps4 game gave me an idea on how he would be adapted again:
Otto Octavius would be the son of Mary Octavius and was abused by bullies in school due to their jealousy of his intelligence. He was also abused by his father before he died of alcohol overuse, leaving him with his mother, who approved of his intellect. In college, he dreamed of building mechanical limbs that could help mankind with their struggles on the human body, which was made fun of by other students, with Norman Osborn being the only one to be fascinated by that idea. Norman and Otto would then become lab partners and friends before creating Oscorp Industries. However, their friendship becomes strained because of Norman going obsessed with genetics, even wanting to cure his body from its deteriorating disorder, by using some sort of enhancer. Otto would become worried for Norman, but when he tried to calm him down, he was fired. Otto then built his own lab and became a bit famous, and eventually hired Peter Parker. He becomes a mentor to Peter and teaches him about intelligence, becoming a second father figure to Peter after Uncle Ben. He is eventually approached by Osborn, who wanted Otto’s assistance to win the Nobel Prize. He makes a deal with Norman that he’ll help him build the fusion reactor, a power reactor with sustainable renewable energy that would give unlimited power using tritium, and other forms of energy, if he helps fund his own research on creating robotic limbs. Norman accepts this deal, and throughout a few episodes, the two would begin to rebuild their friendship and eventually get the reactor ready with the help of Otto’s wife Rosalie Octavius (Otto met her at college, and they fell in love while studying. However, this romance led to his mother’s death, because she didn’t approve her son’s relationship, leading them to argue until she got a heart attack). He and Peter also work together in creating four mechanical arms that would help keep the reactor stable, and they were named Flo (the top right one), Moe (the top left one), Harry and Larry (the bottom ones). He controls the arms through neural interface, and controls an artificial intelligence in the harness to make the arms do what he says. However, since the AI would have the potential to give him brain damage, made an inhibitor chip on the top of the button to activate them to protect his higher brain function. The experiment begins and Otto and Norman manage to make a successful fusion reaction with the tritium, creating a sun like orb. However, it goes awry when it begins absorbing magnets, but an anxious Otto refuses to shut it off, claiming he’ll try to stabilize it. However, the reactor overloads and explodes, killing Rosie and 30 other people. Otto managed to survive the blast, but the harness fused to his spine, rendering the arms stuck to his back. The inhibitor chip was also destroyed in the explosion, making the AI affect his brain, but making the arms gain their own consciousness, each of them representing a part of his personality: Flo representing his pride, passion for science, and love for his family, Moe representing his aggression, anger, and hatred, Harry representing his timidness, and Larry representing his fear of failure. The arms awaken in the hospital and kill the doctors trying to cut them off of the harness, and begin to examine the room and each other. Harry and Larry communicate, while Flo and Moe develop a rivalry on who’s the strongest due to being jealous of each other. When Otto wakes up, he is horrified on what he witnessed, before the arms get him out of the hospital and back to his now destroyed home. He tried to commit suicide out of depression, but the arms convince him not to and try to cheer him up. They use equipment to make a tv, but this leads to Otto to see Norman taking credit for both projects and blaming him for the accident. Enraged, he decides to expose Norman as a liar and reveal a conspiracy (which involves Norman’s transformation into the Green Goblin) that he theorized on Oscorp, making the arms get a new purpose. He forms the Sinister Six (consisting of Vulture, Electro, Sandman, Rhino, and Kraven (replacing Scorpion) in order to get his revenge, while also forming an alliance with Mister Negative, seeing Spider-Man as an obstacle and threat to his plot. He also releases the Devil’s breath onto the city (with some persuasion by the arms) to expose Norman as its creator.
mother was narcisist
His mother was a hypocrite
his origin in Ultimate Spider-Man is better imo. The way he was pissed off because Antman could've fixed him but just let it happen to see what would happen
Doc Ock is one of my favorite Spider-Man foes!
What sucks is those issues of Spider-Man Unlimited aren’t available to read they jump around on Marvel Unlimited and it isn’t collected anywhere. So you’d have to track down the individual issues.
Every character both heroes and villains alike had a tragic past. So I sympathize with both Spider-Man and Octavius.
And yet Elon Musk is trying to link the human brain up with an AI. According to Octavius, that's a bad idea.
I love the sound of mechanical Urms
Raimi changing it to Artificial Intelligence with an inhibitor chip was a beautiful addition
Wtf bro he could’ve had Mary Alice 🤦♂️
The only thing tragic about Doc is his fashion sense.
This is something Spider-Man would say during battle
And that GODAWFUL haircut.
I had no idea about his parents. Was Rosie from Spider-Man 2 ever in the comics?
Nope! She was created for the film!
Great video
Thanks for watching!
“Almost married aunt may- say what?”
Doc Ock is my 2nd favorite Spider Man villain(Venom still being my N.O. 1)
Damn the Oedipal Complex is really deadly
Very cool overview! I actually do somewhat similar content, and this was wonderful research material! I'll be checking out more of your stuff!
mother was a sheep in a wolfs clothing
Can you do the Red Skull Origin story?
His ma be a karen tho...
Do the SIN SIX next !!!
Doc Ock was Stan's favorite Spider-Man villain.
Please do Machine Man, Havok, Ice Man, Thunderbird, super Skrull, The Rose, Titanium Man.
I can’t believe that he fused with his ERMS
Lol I don't think most people picked up on him calling arms, "erms" lol
Forgot about him marrying Aunt May. So ridiculous. 😂
I like the old nerdy version of him in comics in the green suit. Not the trenchcoat movie look.
What superior spider man
Doc Ock and Spider-Man have similar back grounds, the diffrence Peter knew the diffrence between right and wrong, Otto didnt.
So Otto is a mama's boy?
Your not doing his whole history?
Sony could make a Joker-esque film outta Otto. Instead, we get Russian Tarzan.
Torbert that’s an abusive person name
Hold up married aunt may?
interaction
No woman marries a man who looks like Dr. Octopus.
That’s where you’re wrong buddy
Only psychos do
Had this story come out in '63 it might have been compelling.Today it jut sounds cliche.
