Otto Octavius/Doctor Octopus (1994-1998)

History
Otto Octavius was a once great scientist and the teacher of Peter Parker at Science Camp.

When conducting an experiment, while wearing his mechanical tentacles for aid, an accidental explosion caused the metal arms to be fused permanently onto Otto's back, making him 'Doctor Octopus'.

Otto later kidnapped Anastasia Hardy's daughter, Felicia Hardy as Anastasia had refused to fund Otto's research in the past. Otto tried to hold Felicia for ransom but Spider-Man managed to rescue her and defeat Doc Ock.

Otto was later broke out of jail by the Kingpin along with other villains to become part of the Insidious Six. The six managed to defeat Spider-Man, who then temporarily had no super powers, but the group still failed and disbanded for a time.

Otto later managed to brainwash Spider-Man into thinking that he and Doc Ock were partners in crime. For a while, the pair committed a few robberies until one girl, Taina Elizando managed to get Spider-Man's memory and Otto was again defeated.

Otto blackmailed Anastasia Hardy into funding his research, otherwise he would tell the world that her husband was really the infamous cat burglar, John Hardesky, The Cat. Spider-Man and Felicia Hardy, now the super powered Black Cat, teamed up to defeat Doctor Octopus on this occasion.

Otto later joined the Insidious Six again, ordered by the Kingpin to acquire the Red Skull's Doomsday Device but this mission failed when the skull returned and betrayed the Kingpin and the Insidious Six.

Otto was later chosen by the Beyonder to take part in the Secret Wars. Otto, at first had a kingdom named Octavia, but later allied with the Red Skull and Alistair Smythe until the heroes, led by Spider-Man, defeated them. Otto, along with the other villains and the heroes, apart from Spider-Man, were later sent back to Earth.
