Even after being separated from his arms, Octavius can mentally control them from a distance. Using his genius in robotics, chemistry, and physics, Octavius often augments his abilities with an armored suit, mechanical limbs similar to his original arms, Spider-Bots, and other gadgets.

After acquiring funds from his bank robbery, Doctor Octopus has completed rebuilding his fusion reactor, but is still in need one final item: the tritium which fuels the reactor. He goes to Harry Osborn's penthouse for it, where Harry calls Octavius a hack.
After threateningly dangling him over the edge of the Osborn mansion balcony Harry proposes a deal. Harry agrees to give Octavius all the tritium he needs in exchange for capturing Spider-Man and bringing him back to him alive. He tells Doctor Octopus that Peter will tell him how to find him, but urges him not to harm Peter. Peter, through his spider-sense throws Mary Jane and himself out of the way of a thrown taxi, but Doctor Octopus abducts Mary Jane in a plot to lure Spider-Man into a trap.
Spider-Man engages Doctor Octopus in a battle, which starts off at the top of a clock tower at 3 O'clock and then battle down on top of a train. During the battle, Octavius destroys the brakes of the train, forcing Spider-Man to rescue the runaway train so he can escape. Spider-Man manages to stop the train before it can plunge over the end of the track, but at great physical exertion.
He nearly falls, but the people in the train catch him and pull him up. Doctor Octopus arrives and the passengers defend Spider-Man, but his mechanical arms are too powerful for them. Doctor Octopus captures Spider-Man and delivers him to Harry as arranged. He then takes the tritium for his own. Spider-Man awakens and convinces Harry to reveal Octavius's whereabouts so he can rescue Mary Jane, learning that Octavius is rebuilding his machine and threatening the world..
Spider-Man finds Doctor Octopus in an abandoned warehouse on the waterfront, where he's restarted his fusion experiment. After battling with Doctor Octopus, Spider-Man manages to stun him with an electric shock, resulting in his mind returning back to normal.
Peter then reveals his true identity to Octavius and pleads with him to stop the machine. With his costume damaged, Otto returned to his lab with Octavia and Spider-Punk, and changed to a replica of the second version of the Superior Spider-Man's Suit. Returning to his Superior Spider-Man identity, Otto recruited Kaine, presuming that he still possessed the Other , who informed the former that he did not.
Kaine suggested they also recruit Ben Reilly, but Otto refused. They go back to his lab, unaware that Ben swung through the portal. For unknown reasons, he left a Spider-Bot in that Earth when learning of the status of that world's Otto Octavius. When his team was all assembled, Ben Reilly, the former Jackal, revealed himself to them and offered his help. Though he declined at first, Otto realized he could help a lot since he created the cloning tubes the Inheritors are using.
Miles contacted them and said his team was planning an attack, forcing some of the Superior Spider-Army's Spider-People to rescue them.
They managed to retreat to their base, with Spider-Man , an alternate spider-version of Norman Osborn from Earth , having a discussion with Otto, suggesting he take over the leadership.
Their disagreement led Norman and Spiders-Man to separate from the group; however, Norman destroyed the Web of Life and Destiny to leave the Inheritors trapped in Earth When the Inheritors retrieved the crystal containing Solus ' soul, since they planned to use the Jackal's cloning technology to revive their father, but couldn't do it without the crystal.
After his resurrection, Otto would give Ben to Jennix feast on him in order to acquire his knowledge about the cloning tubes. However, this was just a plan to destroy Jennix's "maniacal mind" since he was forced to see through Ben's point of view all the times he died and was resurrected.
Fortunately, shortly after realizing his plan, the Spider-People appeared, with Miles Morales now with the power of the Enigma Force. Otto revived Ben, and later, Peter arrived and decided to lend the leadership to Otto, meaning Miles killing Solus with Earth's Spider-Man's sword vigor. After realizing Solus put the hunger in his sons, they decided to create new clone baby bodies to the Inheritors, without their hunger and their past life memory, who would later be adopted by Spider-Ma'am.
She was going to turn him over to the police , but changed her mind when Terrax the Tamer attacked San Francisco. He continued to fight a losing battle while Anna Maria built and delivered an Inductors device that allowed him to drain some of Terrax's Power Cosmic. The former Herald was eventually defeated when Otto and Anna work together to reprogram Terrax's Axe to backfire on him. After the battle, Anna agreed to allow Otto to continue his hero career, but only if she were his chaperone.
Throughout the course of the day he began to realize the value of civilians through his different interactions. Afterwards he was invited on a date by Emma Hernandez and agreed. He followed her as Spider-Man and they were confronted by police officers possessed by Master Pandemonium's demons and Emma was possessed as well.
Otto contacted Doctor Strange for aid, who initially attacked him before being shown the demonic infestation. By combining their efforts they were able to track down and confront Master Pandemonium.
When Frost Giants invaded San Francisco, Superior Spider-Man saved its citizens by transferring them into a limbo state using experimental technology. He then decided to team up with the West Coast Avengers in order to make use of Ms. America 's abilities. After he rescued them in Los Angeles using his Octavian Lens , he managed to convince them of his plan to stop the war at its source in the Asgardian Realms ; however, they needed to travel to New York City to find a way there, as magic was interfering with Ms.
America's powers. America to duplicate the energies of the Bifrost. They failed to locate the Svartalfheim strike team so they moved on to the Jotunheim Strikeforce , who convinced Otto to trust them and focus on protecting Midgard. Targeted by the Norman Osborn Spider-Man of Earth, who sought to destroy Otto's life in revenge for having insulted him during the second Totem War, Otto was approached by Mephisto , who offered him a way to defeat Norman.
As is typical with Mephisto, the details of this deal are somewhat confusing. Otto has seemingly lost all of Peter Parker's memories, but retained all of the ones since he was duplicated after the battle against the Inheritors. For instance, though Otto did not remember Peter's identity or the events from the first time he was the Superior Spider-Man, he remembered his alliance with the Jackal through the War of the Realms, and people such as Anna Maria, from the New U crisis to the present.
This also meant that while he remembered being a hero, he now associated more with villainy, just as he did before the initial mind-swap. The deal also included restoring Otto's body to perfect shape, not only fixing the damage of all fights as Octopus, but also the brain damage he suffered while becoming Octopus — "if any.
While in a quest to fill the missing gaps in his memory, Otto was forced into the service of the demon Kindred. Curt Connors, Otto separated the scientist's Lizard side into a separate entity for his team.
The final member, chosen by Kindred, was Mysterio, [] who the Sinister Six retrieved from the premiere of a film he had directed under a false identity. The team briefly clashed with the Savage Six , who had also intercepted the premiere to enact revenge on Mysterio.
Spider-Man became involved in the fray, and Octavius knocked him down to deliver him to Kindred, whose torment was the demon's endgame. Doctor Octopus and the Sinister Six were then forced to participate in a hunt for Spider-Man, competing against other teams assembled by Kindred, including the Syndicate , Wild Pack and the Savage Six.
The hero thanked him but Otto claimed that he was just getting revenge on Kindred for not going through with their agreement before leaving. Cybernetic Tentacles : Doctor Octopus' superhuman abilities derive from the four mentally-controlled, electronically-powered, telescoping, prehensile titanium-steel tentacles attached to a stainless steel harness encircling his body from lower chest to waist.
Each tentacle, approximately five inches in diameter, terminates in three single-jointed pincers. The pincers are able to rotate in relation to the arm for degrees, in a screwdriver-like twisting motion.
Each tentacle segment contains four high-efficiency electric motors equipped with a clutched, helical-gear train, independently mounted on frictionless gimbals and housed in four thin, overlapping layers of titanium-niobium steel.
The titanium-steel alloy is light, has high-tensile strength, a high melting point, and high thin-wall rigidity. The motors get their power from a small nuclear-powered thermo-electric generator, which can provide several hundred watts per hour for up to five years before needing to replace its U core. The tentacles have been modified since the time of the original accident to include high-efficiency battery packs enabling movement when cut off from the central power source and individual micro-circuit control modules enabling each arm to perform certain pre-programmed actions when Octopus loses conscious control.
In the event that Octopus loses consciousness, the control module of each arm has enough pre-programmed conditional responses in its memory chip to enable it to perform a relatively complex sequence of actions, such as saving his life.
The trauma of his arm or arms being separated from the harness causes a period of disorientation in which his arms flail about uncontrollably until the pre-programming takes over. Spider Physiology: After swapping bodies with Spider-Man , Otto in Peter's body possesses the proportionate powers of a spider.
The radioactive, complex mutagenic enzymes in the spider's blood that were transferred at the time of the bite triggered numerous body-wide mutagenic changes within Parker, granting him superhuman strength, speed, toughened flesh, and numerous arachnid-like abilities. Black Symbiotic Costume: While temporarily bonded to it, the symbiote granted Octavius the following powers:. Otto as the Living Brain. Otto as the Superior Spider-Man. As Superior Spider-Man, Otto claimed that he possessed all the powers Peter Parker had and that they were evenly matched.
Genius Intelligence : Otto Octavius is a multi-discipline scientist with expertise in various fields of science. Without the use of his artificial tentacles, Otto possessed the normal human strength of a man of his age, height, and build who engages in no regular exercise.
With one arm, Octopus could lift an automobile. With two arms, he could throw an automobile tens of feet, or lift a small bus. The pincers on his arms are capable of gripping with a force of pounds per square inch, sufficient to deform any object made of a thin-walled substance less durable than steel.
The pincers can, for instance, crush a handgun. By combining the intrinsic strength of both his tentacles and the pincers, Doctor Octopus could perform such feats as tearing steel doors off bank vaults. Arrogance: On many occasions, Otto's pride has been a major factor in many of his defeats. Otto considers himself to be the smartest person on the planet and that he could never be wrong due to his massive intellect.
This confidence in his own intelligence frequently causes him to ignore factors that could derail his plans leaving him unprepared for when these factors come into play. This also makes him at wits with other heroes, mostly the Avengers. Since he had all the powers that Spider-Man had, Otto presumably still had the same weaknesses. These included:. Doctor Octopus' Tentacles. Web-Shooters : Parker's brilliance at physical science allowed him to create web-shooters for use when he became Spider-Man.
The web fluid was modified in Octavius' possession, allowing it to be stronger and last longer, something Peter found out the hard way when he was forced to make web underwear and ended up having his pants glued to it.
Talons: Octavius had added retractable sharp talons on his hands and feet, which he uses in combat against his enemies. The talons can also be used to inject nano-spider-tracers with GPS and listening device.
Utility Belt : Spider-Man keeps a utility belt holding web cartridges and his signature Spider-Signal. Superior Spider-Man's Suit : An updated version of the original Spider-Man costume that features sharp talons on the hands and feet, as well as enhanced lenses in the mask with HUD and tracking abilities. The talon gloves feature retractable talons on his finger-tips and toe tips which can be used for clawing and climbing. After making new ones, Otto can activate the talons faster.
When Otto was possessed by the Venom symbiote, people were outraged with Otto's fight with the Avengers and began smashing his spider-bots to pieces. Doctor Octopus' Tentacles : Doctor Octopus has possessed a total of three different harnesses during his career: the original titanium harness, a more powerful Adamantium harness, and the current harness, which was modified in to resemble the version seen in the movie Spider-Man 2.
The original and Adamantium harnesses were both destroyed in the Lethal Foes of Spider-Man miniseries. The current harness has eight tentacles as opposed to four.

Octavius as Elliot Tolliver [src]. Former Powers. This overcomes the outer electron shell's normal behavior of mutual repulsion with other outer electron shells and permits the tremendous potential for electron attraction to prevail.
The mentally controlled sub-atomic particle responsible for this has yet to be identified. This ability to affect the attraction between surfaces is so far limited to Spider-Man's body especially concentrated in his hands and feet and another object, with an upper limit of several tons per finger.
This allows him to exert himself physically for much longer periods of time before fatigue begins to impair him. At his peak, Spider-Man can physically exert himself at his peak capacity for several hours before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood begins to impair him. His body is more resistant to impact forces than anything else. He can withstand great impacts, such as falling from a height of several stories or being struck by an opponent with super strength, that would severely injure or kill a normal human with little to no discomfort.
Spider-Man is extraordinarily limber and his tendons and connective tissues are twice as elastic as the average human being's, despite their enhanced strength. He has far beyond the agility and acrobatic prowess of the most accomplished circus aerialists and acrobats.
With his agility, alone, he can dodge bullets only inches away from hitting him. He seems able to adjust his position by instinct, which enables him to balance himself on virtually any object, no matter how small or narrow. In combination with his spider-sense, the speed of his reflexes allows him to dodge almost any attack, or even gunfire, [] if he is far enough away. Regenerative Healing Factor: Spider-Man has a limited healing factor. While not on Wolverine's level, it is sufficiently powerful enough to recover from severe injuries from broken bones and large amounts of tissue damage in a matter of days.
However, Spider-Man has the normal human tolerance for alcoholic beverages. The precise nature of this sense is unknown. It appears to be a simultaneous clairvoyant response to a wide variety of phenomena everything from falling safes to speeding bullets to thrown punches , which has given several hundredths of a second warning, which is sufficient time for his reflexes to allow him to avoid injury.
The sense also can create a general response on the order of several minutes: he cannot discern the nature of the threat by the sensation. He can, however, discern the severity of the danger by the strength of his response to it.
Spider-Man's spider-sense is directional and can guide him to or away from hidden weapons and enemies. Sudden and extreme threats can cause his spider-sense to react with painful intensity. Spider-Man can also sense and dodge attacks directed randomly or by an artificial intelligence. Using his spider-sense to time his enhanced reflexes, Spider-Man can casually dodge attacks up to and including automatic-weapons fire, provided there is sufficient distance. His spider-sense is sufficiently well-linked to his reflexes to the point that a threat can trigger them even when Spider-Man is asleep or stunned.
His spider-sense has helped him preserve his secret identity since it alerts him to observers or cameras when changing into or out of his costume. The spider-sense does react to those who Peter does not consider to be a threat, such as Aunt May.
Radio Frequency Detection: His spider-sense also enables him to track certain radio frequencies, which he has used to his advantage via his Spider-Bots.
