History

Octavius had devoted his entire life to developing a fusion-based energy source. His work eventually led him to Oscorp, and Harry Osborn. He worked long and hard on his fusion device, which used tritium as its source. Harry also introduced him to Peter Parker, who was writing a paper on him for a class taught by Curt Connors, Octavius' friend. When he finally finished his machine for Oscorp, he prepared a demonstration, which Peter Parker attended. He also unveiled his "smart arms", a harness with extra mechanical limbs, to assist in the demonstration. It appeared to be a success at first, but in backfired and got unstable, fried the chip keeping him in control of his arms, and killed his wife, Rosalie Octavius. Spider-Man stopped the device from hurting any one else. Otto was taken to the hospital, which he (or, the arms in control of him) ransacked and escaped from. J. Jonah Jameson gives him the name "Dr. Octopus". Determined to magnify his dangerous machine and use it again, he robs a bank for funding. Spider-Man attempts to stop him, and almost succedes. He then tries to steal more tritium from Harry Osborn, who tells him to capture Spider-Man for him to get it. He tracks down Peter Parker to find Spider-Man, and after a long fight, and the kidnapping of Mary Jane Watson, he does it. He goes back to his lair to activate his machine, but Spider-Man escapes from Harry and fights Ock. After appealing to Ock's "human side", and showing him who he really is, Spider-Man convinces him to stop attacking, and Octavius sacrifices himself to stop his machine from destroying the city.
