📖 Biography
Doctor Octopus, also known as Otto Gunther Octavius, is a brilliant nuclear physicist whose life changed after a laboratory accident permanently bonded four mechanical tentacles to his body. The same accident left him with unmatched control over his robotic arms while pushing him toward megalomania and a life of crime. As one of Spider-Man's greatest enemies, he constantly uses his scientific genius to devise dangerous schemes and advanced technology. Despite his villainous reputation, Otto has occasionally sought redemption, most notably during his time as the Superior Spider-Man.
