Doctor Otto Octavius was doing an experiment where he had to use four mechanical claws to perform it.
The experiment exploded, causing them to fuse into his skin. Doctor Octavius decided to use these arms to commit robberies to fund his experiments, as the guise of Doctor Octopus (two arms, two legs, four mechanical arms). Over the years, he has grown to be a formidable foe towards Spider-Man.
Doctor Octopus is also known as Doc Ock.
