Constructive Body Disposal

When Disposing of a Body, you need a place where the body is unlikely to come to light again. One method is to find a site where a building or road is being constructed and bury the body in the foundations.

Failure-Induced Transformation

There are many penalties for failure in fiction, but by far the strangest is transformation. Here, the loser in a battle, duel, or contest is transmogrified into a new and usually detrimental shape — often automatically.

Otto Octavius

Otto Octavius is an absolutely brilliant scientist to the standards of any world, but he comes from a world that was more mundane than the Marvel Cinematic Universe, two decades in the past at that.
