| ~ Otto Octavius's catchphrase about his invention: the nuclear fusion reactor. |
| “ | Hello, Peter. | „ |

| “ | You're not Peter Parker. | „ |
| ~ Otto realizing he wasn't fighting his universe's Spider-Man. |
Dr. Otto Gunther Octavius, later known as Doctor Octopus, is the main antagonist of the 2004 superhero film Spider-Man 2 and a major character in the 2021 Marvel Cinematic Universe film Spider-Man: No Way Home.
He is a scientist and great friend of Peter Parker who later became possessed by his own malevolent mechanical arms after an experiment with his fusion reactor funded by Peter's best friend, Harry Osborn, went horribly wrong. From then onwards, Otto turned into a dangerous supervillain.
When he was transported to Earth-199999, that universe's Spider-Man helped release him from the corrosive AI of his tentacles. Indebted, Otto helped him, his native Spider-Man, and another alternate Spider-Man in their fight against the Green Goblin and the uncured villains on Liberty Island.
He is portrayed by Alfred Molina, who also voiced Viggo Grimborn in Dragons: Race to the Edge.
Personality[]
| “ | Intelligence is not a privilege, it's a gift, and you use it for the good of mankind. | „ |
| ~ Dr. Octavius' motto to Peter Parker before his transformation into "Doctor Octopus". |
Otto is a dedicated man as he uses his intelligence for the good of mankind and wanted to show everyone that science can be use for noble intentions. Also, Otto cares about those around him and would help in anyway he could. However, despite his good heart, Otto lets his work consume his time, except for Rosie, as he doesn't rarely take care of his needs. When he fell under the control of his tentacles and became Doctor Octopus, Otto became the opposite of what he is but some of his traits were still in there, as he didn't want to kill anyone unless he had too. Although, through Spider-Man/Peter Parkers help, Otto used his willpower to regain control of his mind from his tentacles and risked his life to stop his actions.
Upon being transported to an alternate dimension prior to his death as well as his redemption, Otto was still under his tentacles control and had his Doctor Octopus personality as he clashed with this universe's Spider-Man. However, after the MCU Spider-Man permanently cured him of this state, Otto's old personality returned as he returned the nanites that he ripped off of the Iron Spider armor back to the latter. Also, Otto offered his aid to the MCU Spider-Man and Norman Osborn in developing cures for the other villains, the latter of which he refused to do as Doctor Octopus. He even helps the Spider-Men fight the villains on the Statue of Liberty and prevents Electro from falling to his death after the scaffolding collapsed because of the Goblin's pumpkin bombs. During this time, Otto was reunited with his Peter Parker and was happy to see his old friend. He also appeared to be fascinated by the Arc Reactor, a device that was essentially what Otto had been attempting to create with his own failed fusion reactor.
