YMMV / Spider-Man (Joseph Zito)

Go To

  • Complete Monster: Doctor Otto Octavius, aka "Doc Ock", is a narcissistic Mad Scientist defined by his ego. Already callous to the lives of his students, as shown when his classroom nearly burns down and he dismisses the risks, Ock manages to view an alternate dimension, giving him a God complex that makes him decide to destroy the entire universe. In pursuit of this goal, Ock murders his former boss out of spite; has his henchman attack Peter's home and causes Uncle Ben's death; kidnaps Liz Allen and almost kills her to draw Peter out; and repeatedly tries to kill Spider-Man. Once his goal is set in motion, chaos erupts in the city, with a train derailing and cars floating, which causes many injuries. Coming within seconds of wiping out all life, Ock chooses himself when the portal to his "heaven" can only transport one person, believing only himself to be worthy of life.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Ock's claims of being "the real Spider-Man" become this in light of Superior Spider-Man (2013).
