Equipment
Doctor Octopus' primary weapons are his four robotic tentacles, which are attached to a special harness he wears on his torso. The tentacles are constructed from a titanium-niobium alloy, and have Amazing material strength. The harness itself has Incredible material strength. Each telescoping tentacle can reach upto one area away and terminates with a set of three single-jointed pincers, which can exert Remarkable strength. The tentacles can rotate in either direction like a screwdriver; the pincers are capable of performing very delicate tasks, such as holding a cigar, typing, and even thumbing threw sheets of paper. Although the tentacles were designed to be controlled manually using mechanisms on the harness, Doctor Octopus can telepathically control his robot tentacles far faster than he could using the harness' controls. This telepathic control extends for many miles (the precise range of this power is unknown), and even when one or more tentacles have been severed from the harness. The tentacles provide Doctor Octopus with the following powers:
Combat: Each turn, the tentacles can perform two of the following combat actions at Incredible ability, with a successful Green FEAT. Any three actions can be performed with a successful Yellow FEAT; any four actions can be performed with a successful Red FEAT.
Attack: on a successful Fighting FEAT roll, a tentacle causes Remarkable blunt attack damage or Excellent edged attack damage (Doctor Octopus' choice) upto one area away.
Grapple: on a successful Fighting FEAT roll, a tentacle holds/lifts an object or opponent with Remarkable strength. If two arms hit, the object or opponent is held/lifted with Incredible strength. No more than two tentacles can be used for grappling. Furthermore, for each tentacle that is used for grappling, another tentacle must be used for leverage and/or support (unless the object or person grappled is very lightweight). Thus, if Doctor Octopus uses two arms for grappling, that is his only action for that turn. Doctor Octopus can hurl any person or object his tentacles have grappled, with Remarkable strength if using one tentacle and Incredible strength if using two tentacles.
Block: on a successful Fighting FEAT roll, a tentacle can block an opponent's attack. On a successful block, the tentacle takes the damage instead of Doctor Octopus. Due to the speed of the tentacles, blunt or edged attacks are blocked at +2CS. Blunt throwing or edged throwing attacks are blocked with no modifiers. Shooting, energy and force attacks, however, are blocked at -3CS. To cover his vulnerability to these kinds of attacks, Doctor Octopus will usually grab something (or someone!) with one or more of his tentacles to use as a shield. When doing so, the -3CS penalty does not apply.
Dodging: If Doctor Octopus has at least two tentacles not engaged in attacking, grappling or blocking, he can use them to facilitate very quick movement. His agility is treated as Remarkable for purposes of dodging any attacks when he has at least two tentacles free. If Doctor Octopus has all four tentacles free, his agility is treated as Incredible for purposes of dodging any attacks.
Transport: Using two tentacles, Doctor Octopus can travel upto 2 areas per round. Using all four tentacles, he can travel upto 4 areas per speed (about 50 mph). In either event, he can walk right over any obstacle less than two stories high. He can also wall-crawl with Good ability by punching handholds into vertical surfaces with his pincers.
Wind Generation: Doctor Octopus can use one or more tentacles as a giant fan, creating winds of upto 50 mph. Small thrown weapons (such as knives or Captain America's shield) hit at -2CS in the face of such winds. The wind is also effective for dispersing gases.
Adamantium Tentacles: On at least one occasion, Doctor Octopus used a set of tentacles composed of pure adamantium. These tentacles had the same powers and effects of his regular tentacles, except that they had Class 1000 material strength. Edged attacks by the tentacles shifted opponents' body armor 6CS to the left, enabling them to easily tear through even Iron Man's armor.
Talents
Robotics, Engineering and Repair/Tinkering talents. His Reason is considered Monstrous in the field of radiology.
Contacts
Doctor Octopus has, on occasion, allied himself with a number of other costumed criminals, including Electro, Sandman, the Vulture, Mysterio, Kraven, and others. Such alliances, however, are usually short-lived. He has also employed his own gang of thugs.
History
Born in Schenectady NY, Otto Octavius had a turbulent upbringing. His father, a factory worker, was abusive and violent towards both Otto and his mother, leading Otto to be shy and reclusive in school. However, at his mother's insistence, he was determined not to become like his father and threw all his efforts into his education, regularly scoring top marks. It was hinted that he was a low-level telepathic mutant whose powers emerged at puberty; this mutation may have been responsible for giving his father an aneurysm as his father went to beat him. His father's death in an industrial accident pushed him further towards the study of, and obsession with, physical science.
Before his transformation into the megalomaniacal archenemy of the web-slinger, Otto was a brilliant and respected nuclear physicist, inventor, and lecturer. He designed a set of highly advanced mechanical arms to assist him with his research into atomic physics. The tentacled arms were resistant to radiation and were capable of great strength and highly precise movement. They were attached to a harness that fit around his body.
During an accidental radiation leak that ended in an explosion, the apparatus became fused to Octavius's body. It was later revealed that the radiation (or possibly his own latent mutation) had mutated his brain so that he could control the movement of the arms using his thoughts alone. The tentacles have since been surgically removed from his body, although Octavius retains the power to control them telepathically from a great distance. The accident also seemingly damaged his brain (although it was later suggested that what was interpreted as brain damage was in fact his mind rewiring itself to accommodate four extra limbs), and the scientist turned to a life of crime.
Though Doctor Octopus himself is portly, in poor physical shape, and near-sighted to the extent that he is legally blind without the aid of his eyeglasses, with his harness attached he is physically more than a match for Spider-Man: in his first appearance he beat Spider-Man so badly that the wall-crawler considered giving up his heroic career until he was inspired to continue by the Human Torch at the time when the Fantastic Four was called in to fight Doctor Octopus.
Over the years Dr. Octopus has become one of, if not the, most identifiable member of Spider-Man's rogues' gallary. He remains one of Spider-Man's most dangerous foes, having many legendary battles with Spider-Man over the years. His crowning achievement of evil was the near-fatal beating of Spider-Man's then-partner, the Black Cat, who was placed in critical condition and led to Spider-Man beating Doc Ock to an inch of his life. The trauma of the beating he received from Spider-Man left Octavius so afraid of Spider-Man and spiders in general for years, until Spider-Man was forced to let his nemesis beat him in combat so as to allow his nemesis to break free of his fears and recruit him to save New York City from an exploding nuclear reactor.
Doctor Octopus has worked with other supervillains on several occasions, most notably as the leader of the original incarnation of the Sinister Six. He has been a member of other versions of the Sinister Six, and founded his own short-lived version of the Masters of Evil when his teammates from the Sinister Six proved too difficult to manipulate.
Despite the obvious obstacles, Octavius was for a time on good terms with Peter Parker's Aunt May, who he first met in The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #1 (1964) when he abducted her and Peter's then-girlfriend Betty Brant to attract Spider-Man's attention. In fact, in later years May Parker and Otto Octavius were briefly engaged to be married, during a period when the latter's madness had been cured (temporarily, as it turned out). Their wedding was interrupted by Hammerhead.
During the Clone Saga, Doctor Octopus was murdered by the insane Peter Parker clone named Kaine. Octavus's student Carolyn Trainer took over as "Doctor Octopus" until the original was resurrected by a branch of the mystical ninja cult known as the Hand. Although Octavius had discovered Peter Parker's dual identity shortly prior to his death while curing Parker of a lethal virus created by the Vulture, he lost all knowledge of it upon his resurrection. The reason for this was the memories he gained came from a computer chip provided by his associate Stunner with his recorded memories. That recent memory had not been recorded at the time of his death.
In recent years, Octavius attempted to create his own personal assassin in the form of a villainous mutated entity he dubbed "Spider-Woman", and was involved in a plot involving using prostetic limbs as mind-control devices, to create an army of minions. He has also had to deal with another usurper, in the form of an arrogant young scientist and businessman named Carlyle, who pretended to employ Octavius at his company. This, however, proved to be a ruse, and Carlyle subdued Octopus and stole his technology, using it to create his own version of Octavius's harness. During a battle with Octavius and Spider-Man, Carlyle was killed when Doc Ock ripped open his suit, causing a malfunction and effectively disintegrating his body.
