His mother encouraged the young Otto, already a good student, to push himself in school, in the hopes that he would have a better life. Becoming obsessed with schoolwork after his mother's death, Otto applied himself even harder to his studies in science. He graduated and got work with an engineering firm, soon becoming a respected nuclear physicist and research consultant.

Becoming Doctor Octopus
Otto Octavius helped run a science summer camp where Ben Parker took a young Peter Parker. Octavius helped mentor Peter, who was like him and smart but picked on by the other children. This relationship of former mentor and pupil made Doctor Octopus fond of Peter even after his descent into villainy.

One day, Octavius postulated the energy content of fusion energy can be harnessed in battery format; having sought funding from Lisa Benson's Foundation, created a fusion experiment; to safely manipulate hazardous substances he crafted a harness using four metal tentacles attached to a harness that used neural sensors to read his thoughts and control his arms. Eventually Benson's patience wore thin and she terminated funding. Forced to work in substandard laboratory conditions without essential safeguards; When the experiment exploded, Octavius' arms were permanently fused on his back due to being bombarded by nuclear energy and extreme heat. The radiation simultaneously caused mutations in his brain, allowing him to have direct control over the arms through telepathy.

Octavius the awoke in the hospital, and realized his tentacle harness has fused with his body and can completely control them only with his mind. He also felt "stronger then ever" and sees himself as "superior" than anyone he knows. He then escapes the hospital, and decided his first order of business was to take revenge on all those he has deemed his enemies and embraced the name Doctor Octopus.

Octavius kidnapped his father and Maria Benson for ransom from Maria's mother, who did not have patience to fund Ock's experiments before he was a villain, and has taken them to an abandoned warehouse. He then plans to kill of them to show the world he can truly defeat his enemies. Upon which his confrontation with Spider-Man forced him to kidnap J. Jonah Jameson as well for additional fee; he was subsequently defeated by Spider-Man manages to save the two hostages Maria Benson and Jameson. Spider-Man unafortunalty failed to save his father however as he was murdered by his son Otto before Spider-Man could save him.

Octopus was sent to prison, possibly Ryker's Island, where his arms were trapped in each of the room's four corners and he could only sit in the middle.}}
