I think it's about time I posted him before I forget forever.
Dr. Otis Octavius, "Doctor Octopus"
He's fun to draw..
(Hella lore under the cut.. be warned, I type a LOT)
In the AU, he's one of the more "drawn out" villains, like Dr. Ohnn. His arc develops mostly in the background. If I were to turn the AU into a fan-comic, I'd have moments where it'd cut to him. 👀
Anyhow, the lore is that he started off as one of the many people chosen by a foe named Black Velvet (Dr. Archer Blakeley) to catch the Pseudo-Spider, so he could rid any sort of "traces" of the whole "radioactive spider" incident. Otis goes against it at first, but he eventually gets the idea of studying the Spider himself instead. After weeks of being vigilant, he's saved by Percy Parker from a car accident. Out of gratitude, the scientist takes Parker out for dessert the same afternoon.
After a somewhat sour conversation over sweet delicacies, he manages to find out that Percy was, indeed, bit by one of the two radioactive spiders that escaped Blakeley's grasp. However, he doesn't know he's the Pseudo-Spider.
This doesn't stop him from chasing him around the city the next day with his few months old mechanical arms. Since they're still in the process of being touched-up, the chase doesn't last so long. That and because the Pseudo-Spider deals with him before any sort of damage is done.*
(*Note, this is when Percy comes up with the name 'Doc Octopus' for him,,)
A month passes, and it seems like Otis has finally gotten along with Percy after clearing his own name, telling the youth that his actions were (mostly) from his own motivation, and that he should've just cut off Dr. Blakeley.
Then, one night, while Otis is dabbling in his little job with reactors, the Pseudo-Spider disrupts him while taking on an unknown villain.
To shorten things, the fight causes PS to bump into something and mess up the entire experiment. After the chaos that is Otis trying to get everyone out of the building and him staying behind in attempt to fix the situation, it all ends in a bright and seemingly powerful explosion.
Fortunately, all of Octavius' labmates escaped unscathed, but the head scientist himself vanished without a trace. This is enough info to convince Percy that he, the Pseudo-Spider, just killed a man. And that info haunts him for a good while.
It's been less-than-a-few months since the explosion now, and Percy has somewhat managed to get over Otis' death, and tried to resume his two lives. The thought still gives him shivers time-to-time.
That is, one night, the Spider finally confronts five of his greatest foes one more time, back to back. After a while, he meets their leader. The thought-to-be deceased Otis Octavius, in the flesh, standing before him like a ghost caught in the exact moment of their death.
The now not-so-good doctor reveals that he's been actively conjuring a (master) plan to get revenge on PS, thinking that he was, indeed, his murderer. Ock also reveals that he was saved from the blast by his own robo-arms, and they took him to a safe place while he was out cold. His influence for getting rid of PS mostly comes from them.
And that's all I have for his main arc. Told you it was a mouthful
There's more, but it's mostly side plot shenanigans
Edit: I lied. I forgot to talk about his personality shift during his arc. Basically he starts off as this grumpy, strange, almost-old man who has a soft spot for a select few people he cares about (biggest example being this universe's Harry Osborn, who's constantly under stress as the heir of Oscorp. Not to mention his long dead father. Otis kinda acts as a dad or cool uncle to Harr, constantly checking to see if he's alright and even taking on some of his work for him sometimes.) After the incident, the drive of getting revenge on the Pseudo-Spider REALLY starts to show. Especially on his face. Sometimes he subconciously breaks out these sinister-ass grins when he thinks about his plan (THE PIPELINE,,)
anyhow, heres this goofy drawing of him because i wanted to see how the arms would work with his coat's belt (yes, that bothered me for a bit)

Spidersona? No, Gecko…Geckos can climb walls, as much as a spider can sadly they can’t shoot webs but uh…tongue….Anyways gecko.
Also you might say
“They’re a bit silly, they aren’t hiding their identity with a mask. How do they separate their normal life with…whatever the fuck they are doing?”
Idk, they like living on the edge I guess.

spideydevil’s foreplay is banter. they just start quipping insults back and forth in the most creative way imaginable until eventually one of them gets sick of the other and forces him to make out to shut him up. (usually matt bc peter could go for hours)
Spider-Man and Daredevil are fighting stilt-man and Peter is like "I've heard of platform shoes but this is ridiculous" and Matt is just struck by how stupid he is and how much he wants him carnally. Matt does some stupid hero one-liner and Peter's like you know for a lawyer, you suck at talking but keeping going I'm already on my knees
I'd like to think Matt knows what he's doing, his quips turn suggestive pretty fast but it always takes ages for Peter to notice and when he does he gets all flustered like you can tell that he was raised by old people because he's scandalized by dick jokes and not like fatal wounds. Every time he gets all blushy and he's like oh my goodness Matt are you flirting with me?? And Matt's like ??? Yes! We're literally dating. This is a near daily occurrence. Peter on the other hand has no such subtlety or intention, he just dials up his usual fight stand-up routine to an 11 because he knows Matt will shut him up one way or the other. Fighting or making out, it's the same adrenaline rush they're both fun, there's really no difference
