Dr. Octopus
Dr. Otto Octavious was a brilliant scientist and genetic egineer. He was polite, appealing and had a beautiful wife who had a diploma in English Literature. However, he was obsessed with an invention he dreamed of making; by combining a power tridium with solar energy, creating cheap electricity for the poor. After finally getting enough fundings, he performed the experiment with the aid of four metallic, tentacle-like arms which were temporarily fused to his back. He controlled them telepathicly with a small chip that was fused to his left ear. However, the experiment was a complete failure, having major problems and malfunctions, even having Spider-Man arrive on the scene to shut down the dangerous experiment. During the disaster, the tentacles got caught up in the immense solar power discharge and were now permanently fused to his back. Feeling depressed over the failure of his experiment and the death of his wife (also caused by the experiment) he escaped from hospital and went into hiding. Enraged with his failure, he turned to a life of crime; stealing money and scientific equipment so he can rebuild his experiment, using the powerful tentacles to aid him.
