Doctor Octopus

Doctor Octopus, born Otto Octavius, is one of Spider-Man's greatest enemies — a brilliant nuclear physicist fused to four powerful mechanical arms after a laboratory accident. Arrogant, vindictive, and intellectually formidable, Doc Ock has challenged Spider-Man in ways no physical threat can: in the Superior Spider-Man storyline, he transferred his mind into Peter's body and attempted to be a better Spider-Man than Peter ever was. A villain of genuine complexity and menace.
