Doctor Octopus (character)
Doctor Octopus, or Doc Ock, is a fictional supervillain in Marvel Comics, primarily an adversary of Spider-Man. His real name is Dr. Otto Octavius, a brilliant scientist who suffers a tragic accident during an experiment, linking four mechanical tentacles to his spine. These artificial arms grant him extraordinary strength, flexibility, and control, but also tempt him toward criminal behavior. Typically depicted as intelligent and cunning, Doc Ock combines scientific expertise with a ruthless desire for power, often challenging Spider-Man both physically and intellectually.
