Dr. Octopus

Mad Doctor

ORIGIN: Dr. Otto Gunther Octavius was a genius of nuclear technology and physics who, in order to handle hazardous materials, had designed a harness with four long, flexible, radiation-resistant metal arms. Unfortunately, this invention led to an unforeseen mental imbalance that would drive Octavius to become a fearsome criminal.

DESCRIPTION: A middle-aged white man with short brown hair (sometimes bald) and a dorsal mechanism equipped with four robotic tentacles, each ending in three fingers. Whatever his attire (green suit with yellow boots and gloves, long brown coat with other muted-colored garments, etc.), he always wears glasses, usually opaque and/or dark. He is highly intelligent but also prone to delusions of grandeur and fits of rage.

WEAPONS: His mechanical tentacles provided with considerable strength.
