Doctor Octopus

Doctor Octopus, real name Dr. Otto Gunther Octavius and also known as Doc Ock, Doc Octopus and the Superior Spider-Man, is a fictional character, a supervillain that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. A highly intelligent mad scientist, Doctor Octopus is one of Spider-Man's greatest foes. He is typically portrayed as a stocky, myopic man who utilizes four powerful, mechanical appendages, and is obsessed with proving his own genius and destroying Spider-Man. In his first several appearances, his last name was spelled "Octavious" while all stories since have spelled it "Octavius". The character has appeared in numerous Spider-Man cartoons and video games and is portrayed by Alfred Molina in the 2004 film Spider-Man 2.
In 2009, Doctor Octopus was ranked as IGN's 28th Greatest Comic Book Villain of All Time. Comics journalist and historian Mike Conroy writes of the character: "Created by Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, Doc Ock, as he became known, has become one of the web slinger's most persistent and dangerous foes."

You know the villain as the Big Bad, the truly horrible no-good person who has <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-irredeemably-evil-villains/williamsbrianjake" target="_blank">no redeeming qualities whatsoever</a>. But as many great writers have said, &quot;every villain is a hero,&quot; given a different context. It&#39;s high time we take a look at some villains we&#39;ve written off as simply evil, and show you how, with just a slightly different perspective (okay, in some cases, a vastly different perspective), these people aren&#39;t quite as villainous as expected. No, sometimes these are villains just doing their jobs, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/good-parental-advice-from-villains/williamsbrianjake" target="_blank">giving solid advice</a>, or dealing with impossible situations where no reasonable person would think they had any good choices to make. Some of these people are just hard up for answers, and even the hero&#39;s solution makes things demonstrably worse.

But this list doesn&#39;t just limit itself to <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/spider-man-villain-doc-ock/stephanroget" target="_blank">villains who were good</a>. We also look at villains who had a point, even if what they did was absolutely unforgivable. But really, if you think about it, plenty of our heroes have <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/mcu-villains-created-by-heroes/williamsbrianjake" target="_blank">done awful things</a> (Indiana Jones was just stealing artifacts and trashing monuments he had no business being around in the first place, y&#39;know), and it&#39;s all just a matter of perspective. Obi-Wan Kenobi was always rambling on about how things are different from a &quot;certain point of view.&quot; (Easy for him to say, Darth Vader&#39;s pretty cut and dry as a villain.) But put on your thinking specs and see how we argue for some of the bad guys (and gals!).

The Best Comic Book Villains

The Best Comic Book Villains of all Time

Comic villains are responsible for some of the most heinous&nbsp;acts in all of fiction. They commit the sorts of graphic crimes that make empathy almost impossible. They engage in criminal activity that can send&nbsp;shivers up the spines of readers. But behind the masks and capes and ghoulish grins lie some of the most sympathetic comic book villain&nbsp;origins you&#39;ll ever hear.

Because these characters were crafted in a medium&nbsp;bursting with possibilities, the torture they endured prior to turning to the dark side is often more physically and emotionally extreme then audiences might be used to. Some of your favorite villains were tortured for millions or even billions of years. Subject to rejection, mutilation, starvation, lobotomies and more, it&rsquo;s difficult at times to determine whether the decisions they make are derived from their own will or from their circumstances. It&#39;s often heartbreaking when you really stop and think about the lives of villains in comics.&nbsp;

In order to understand what fuels the hatred&nbsp;behind the alter egos, it&rsquo;s best if we get to know them before they were baddies&nbsp;(if that&rsquo;s even possible). The saddest supervillain origin stories often begin before they had a chance to fight back. You might be surprised to learn that several villains were abused as infants,&nbsp;or slated for punishment before they were born. For many of them, crime was not a choice. It was their only identity. Here are some of the most gut wrenching, cringe-inducing, and just straight up saddest supervillain origin stories&nbsp;in history.

Marvel is known for putting its heroes through the wringer - but what are the worst things the Marvel villains have ever done? Marvel has always taken a more realistic approach to the world of heroes than its distinguished competition, meaning its protagonists&nbsp;have had to face their fair share of serious trials and tribulations. Spider-Man&#39;s had so many troubles in his life that he&#39;s coined the term&nbsp;&quot;Parker luck&quot; to describe all his hardship and pain.&nbsp;

Whether your nemesis is out to slay your girlfriend, half of all the galaxy&#39;s&nbsp;population is being wiped out, or <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/villains-killing-marvel-superheroes/stephanroget" target="_blank">you yourself are getting taken out</a>, being a hero isn&#39;t easy. Heroes may always win in the end, but that leaves a lot of room for the middle to get pretty bleak.

Check out this list of the most heinous acts ever committed in the universe of Marvel Comics, and vote up the worst.

The Most Evil Things Marvel Villains Have Ever Done

Jake Brian Williams

Superheroes

For fans of comic books, accepting temporary replacement superheroes has become a reality of the medium - even the most high-selling heroes occasionally need to take time off and let legacy characters step into the spotlight. Typically, most vigilantes are succeeded by their sidekicks - Dick Grayson becomes Batman in Bruce Wayne&rsquo;s absence, while Sam Wilson takes over as Captain America when Steve Rogers hangs up the shield - but every so often, a replacement hero crops up from out of left field.

Controversy tends to move comic books, which is why publishers like <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/people-explain-why-dc-comics-rule/hannah-collins?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">DC and Marvel Comics</a> aren&rsquo;t afraid to sometimes select an oddball fill-in for their <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/superhero-replacements-better-than-the-original/stephanroget" target="_blank">most notable superheroes</a>. Most times, these revamps bomb. But every now and then, a replacement catches on and becomes the sort of character that can stand on their own two feet - even if they usually have to give up the codename and find their own when the original inevitably returns.&nbsp;

When you&rsquo;ve been in the superheroing game as long as Peter Parker has been, you tend to build up an impressive array of arch-enemies, but that can also make it hard to pin down any one singular rival from the whole of the rogues&rsquo; gallery. Who, at the end of the day, is Spider-Man&rsquo;s true nemesis? That there are at least a dozen strong candidates for the &ldquo;honor&rdquo; should be all the indication one needs of what a rough few decades it has been for the wallcrawler.

There may be no better way to determine <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/spider-man-villain-doc-ock/stephanroget" target="_blank">which supervillain is truly Spider-Man&rsquo;s worst enemy</a> than by measuring which one has dealt him the most damage, in both the physical and emotional sense. But even that isn&rsquo;t so simple a prospect as one might hope - because if there&rsquo;s one trait that defines Spidey&rsquo;s costumed career, it&rsquo;s his remarkable ability to take a beating and keep coming back for more!

They famously turned him down dozens of times when he brought them the idea of Spider-Man stating that not only was he too downtrodden, but that nobody liked spiders so it would never sell. The only reason Spider-Man (one of the most recognizable figures in the world) exists is that he snuck it into an already cancelled magazine, Amazing Fantasy, in their last issue and it sold like hotcakes.So here, we acknowledge the man who's earned every single one of his Marvel movie cameos for his contribution to the world of comics.

When it comes to comic book super powers, brains are every bit as handy as brawn &mdash; but props to those who have both. From cosmic powers of superhuman intelligence, to good old fashioned book smarts, there are plenty of <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-superheroes-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">comic book characters</a> that prove the powers of the mind can be just as effective as any other super power.&nbsp;

There are always the old fallbacks like our good pals Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark, but Ironman and the &ldquo;World&rsquo;s Greatest Detective&rdquo; himself are far from the best of the best when it comes to super smarts. From near god-like obscurities like the High Evolutionary to the more forgettable guys like Calculator, genius intellects for both heroes and villains alike create some of the most clever story lines in all of comic history. There are even some characters you might never have known to possess super smarts all along; you can&rsquo;t really blame someone on the fringes of comic book culture if they didn&rsquo;t realize that the hulking ape beast, Gorilla Grodd, is actually a genius advanced weapons manufacturer.&nbsp;

Characters We'll Never Forget

Fictional Characters

There are <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/villains-who-broke-our-hearts-2010s/stephanroget" target="_blank">thousands of villains</a> in fiction, from television, books, comics, and film, each with their own unique motives and methods of madness. But it can be rare to see a character go from a hero to villain before your own eyes. They might start out as an innocent person, with the best of intentions, before transforming into a monster. Many films spend significant time <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/deleted-movie-scenes-that-change-the-main-character/math-erao" target="_blank">fleshing out their heroes&#39; motivations</a>, but what makes these fictional characters turn evil?

Sometimes they&rsquo;re tempted by the power that comes from evil and darkness, like in the case of Anakin Skywalker, Peter Pettigrew, and Lex Luthor. Many of these villains had the best of intentions, but it only led to a place of evil, like in the case of &quot;Breaking Bad&quot; anti-hero Walter White.

A lot of the characters on this list began as close friends of the heroes of their stories. Buffy the Vampire Slayer saw both her boyfriend and best friend go from her allies to bitter enemies. Many of Shakespeare&rsquo;s characters were corrupted by jealousy or thirst for power and end up committing extremely evil acts, as in the case of Macbeth and Iago.

This list features characters who weren&rsquo;t born bad, but were made evil by unfortunate circumstances and their choices later in life.

This list of fat superheroes and supervillains proves that not everyone in comics has perfect muscle tone, huge biceps, and washboard abs. It&#39;s true that most <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-superheroes-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">comic book characters</a> are in shape, maybe because it helps when fighting the good fight. And because swinging around town and saving the world burns a whole lot of calories. There are exceptions. Believe it or not, there are quite a few fat comic book characters.

It&#39;s not job specific either. There are overweight comic book characters on both sides of the line between good and evil. How they get into and their spandex and fight their true nemesis, chafing, is whole different conversation. Heroes and villains are just like everyone else, but, of course, their physicality is pushed to extremes, so a fit hero is a specimen of perfection, and often, an overweight hero is made ridiculously obese. Their weight doesn&#39;t make them any less compelling as characters, however, and it also gives artists the chance to depict something other than idealized human forms in skintight outfits.

So if you&#39;re looking for a big boned comic character and want to know what overweight superheroes are out there, look no further than this list. These are the best fat comic book characters!

Comic book marriages are a lot like comic book deaths - they&#39;re often used as plot devices and are almost always temporary. Though some classic spousal couplings have stood the test of time, far more&nbsp;fall into the category of &ldquo;unexpected&nbsp;comic book weddings&quot; at best and cheap gimmicks that were always doomed to fail&nbsp;at worst.

Some say&nbsp;superheroes and marriage just don&rsquo;t mix, as it&rsquo;s difficult to write a character who&#39;s dedicated to both their partner and their world-saving duties. For this reason, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/healthy-marvel-superhero-relationships/hannah-collins" target="_blank">Marvel relationships</a> and DC romances&nbsp;have largely been avoided - especially with&nbsp;major characters - though there is definitely a bevy of strange, sometimes uncomfortable exceptions to the rule.

When a character choses the&nbsp;career of&nbsp;a costumed crimefighter, the occasional heroic sacrifice is always part of the job description, and every quality superhero has given up their own life (usually temporarily) for the greater good at least once. The <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-movie-villains-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">list of villains</a> who sacrificed themselves for something other than their own selfish goals and aims, on the other hand, is significantly shorter.

Most superheroes understand from the get-go that laying their lives on the line is a daily requirement, which makes the step-up to a full-on sacrifice far less dramatic. When a supervillain decides to put their life on the line for&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/comic-villains-turned-superheroes/coy-jandreau" target="_blank">some higher purpose</a>, that really demonstrates a powerful shift in character - the sort of heel-face turn that legends are made of.

15 Supposed Supervillains Who Sacrificed Themselves For The Greater Good

Supervillains Who Sacrificed Themselves For The Greater Good

It&rsquo;s usually too controversial for mainstream comic book publishers to print stories featuring the actual biblical Devil, so Marvel and DC Comics have invented&nbsp;stand-ins for Satan - usually in the form of Mephisto and Neron, respectively. And while some superheroes, like <a href="/list/best-john-constatnine-hellblazer-comics-storylines/ranker-comics" target="_blank">John Constantine</a> and Ghost Rider, deal with these demons more often&nbsp;than the rest, almost every caped crusader has found a reason <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/mary-jane-watson-after-one-more-day/jack-morgan" target="_blank">to strike a devilish pact</a> at one time or another.&nbsp;

In fact, some of the comic book medium&rsquo;s most memorable storylines have&nbsp;centered around the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/spider-man-villains-who-ruined-his-life/stephanroget" target="_blank">selling of souls</a> and other such deals with the devil. In most instances, the hero in question is able to weasel out of the bargain through some sort of plot contrivance, but that&rsquo;s not always the case. Occasionally, the consequences of such negotiations last for decades.&nbsp;

The Year You Were Born

What was the best movie villain the year you were born? These cinematic bad guys reflect how movies and tastes have changed over the decades, as audiences have responded to different depictions of evil. Some of the&nbsp;villains are straight out of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/horror-movie-moments-from-your-birth-year/megan-summers" target="_blank">horror movies</a>, while others come from thrillers, sci-fi&nbsp;adventures, or dramas. Most are fictional, but two&nbsp;of them are based on real-life individuals who committed actual atrocities. There are even gender differences. In six years between 1960 and 2005, the villain who made the biggest onscreen impact&nbsp;was a woman.&nbsp;

You&#39;ll also notice a difference in how these antagonists&nbsp;are presented. Was the most popular villain the year you were born a figure that could only come from someone&#39;s imagination, like Darth Vader,&nbsp;or was it a character who could theoretically exist in real life, such as Hannibal Lecter?&nbsp;

Whatever the case, this list of the signature movie villains by year will tell you who audiences were rooting against&nbsp;when you came into the world.

In the ever-changing drama of comics, there are stories where supervillains&nbsp;have&nbsp;taken&nbsp;over for superheroes. It's not always the cut-and-dried good versus evil format we've come to accept from so much superhero media, however. Some of these villains legitimately want to do good, not just mess up a superhero's reputation. Even the most tyrannical&nbsp;despots can become champions of virtue, often times seeking redemption from their criminal ways... well, at least temporarily.&nbsp;Occasionally, there are&nbsp;villains who subbed for <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/surprising-dead-comic-book-characters/stephanroget">heroes that died</a> or were incapacitated. Other times, there were <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/fat-comic-book-characters/ranker-comics?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">superheroes and supervillains</a>&nbsp;who switched places. Motivations vary.&nbsp;Some villains have&nbsp;a change of heart, others see&nbsp;an opportunity for redemption, and&nbsp;some villains are just trying to beat heroes at their own game. Check out this list of confirmed villains that shockingly tried to act as heroes.

Darkness can't exist without light, similarly to how good can't exist without evil. For every superhero, there needs to be a&nbsp;supervillain to challenge them.

Let&#39;s face it: we&#39;ve all wished we were cyborgs at one time or another. Whether we&#39;ve wanted to augment our normal human limitations with technology to simply lift a heavy couch during moving day or go full Terminator and feel absolutely no pain, the benefits of being a cyborg are nearly endless.

Spider-Man has the best rogues&rsquo; gallery in comics this side of Batman, but at the core of it lies an intense rivalry that has taken many forms over the years: Spider-Man vs.&nbsp;Doctor Octopus. That&rsquo;s right, it is Otto Octavius -&nbsp;and not Norman Osborn, <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/spider-man-homecoming-2-green-goblin/stephanroget?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Green Goblin</a> - who is, and always has been, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/all-spiderman-villains-list-of-all-spiderman-enemies/all-enemies-and-supervillains" target="_blank">Peter Parker&rsquo;s greatest enemy</a>.&nbsp;

Having made his debut back in 1963&rsquo;s Amazing Spider-Man #3, Marvel Comics&rsquo; Doctor Octopus has been plaguing the wall crawler for nearly his entire existence,&nbsp;and during that time, he&rsquo;s done more damage to Spidey than any old Goblin ever could. Doc Ock has slain Parker&rsquo;s friends, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-happened-doc-ok-spider-man/stephanroget" target="_blank">swindled&nbsp;his webslinging&nbsp;identity</a>, and even tried to marry his beloved Aunt May -&nbsp;and he did it all with nothing more than his own wit, ingenuity, and custom-made mechanical arms.&nbsp;

Forget Green Goblin - Doctor Octopus Is Spider-Man's True Arch Nemesis

14 Reasons That The Best Spider-Man Villain Is Doc Ock

The Superior Spider-Man comic book series&nbsp;- in which Doctor Otto Octavius takes over Spider-Man&rsquo;s body and fills the role of the webslinger for over a year - is simultaneously one of the most controversial and most beloved storylines in recent Marvel Comics history. The Superior Spider-Man&rsquo;s powers aren&rsquo;t any different from the standard Peter Parker <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/ranking-every-spider-man-in-comics/ranker-comics" target="_blank">version of Spider-Man</a>, but Doc Ock&rsquo;s attitude and personality offer a fresh take on the webslinger.

The tale of how Octavius comes&nbsp;to occupy the body of Spider-Man - and what happens&nbsp;to Peter Parker in the meantime - is about as complicated as it gets. It relies on countless sci-fi tropes that don&rsquo;t make much sense outside of the world of comic books. What happens after, however - the rise and fall of the Superior Spider-Man, and the inevitable return of the original hero&nbsp;- is an epic journey that anyone can enjoy, regardless of their level of genre expertise. The die, as Otto would say, is cast!
