Dr. Octopus
First Appeance: Amazing Spider-man vol 1, #3
The Story: Otto created a harness with mechanical arms, using it to safely
manipulate toxic materials from a distance. When he became physically
and mentally fused to these arms after a freak industrial accident, the
formerly mild-mannered Octavius became the infamous criminal mastermind
known as Doctor Octopus. His sanity after the accident has been strongly
questioned, much to his personal annoyance.
Abilities: An authority on nuclear radiation and atomic theory, Doctor
Octopus controls his four extra arms mentally. With them, he is capable
of performing several tasks simultaneously. He can also use them to
scale walls, to stalk over cars, and to knock your average Arachnid
super-hero senseless.
