For tropes related to him, see [[Characters/SpiderManInsomniacOttoOctavius his page]].
to:
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In his origin in the comics, Otto had no prior relationship to Peter before the accident that led to him becoming Doc Ock. Here, his relationship to Peter is much like Dr. Curt Connors and George Stacy, being his Scientific Mentor and ParentalSubstitute respectively. This is likely a ShoutOut to ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'', where Octavius had a somewhat similar relationship with Peter when they were younger (there, he was a mentor to Peter at science camp when he was a kid), and to a somewhat lesser extent, ''Film/SpiderMan2'', where they have a non-professional relationship when they're both adults, but still meaningful.
* AlliterativeName: '''O'''tto '''O'''ctavius. The fact his and Norman Osborn's last names were alliterative also helped brand them with the nickname "The O's" during their days as college lab partners. That nickname then helped to inspire the company name of the business he and Osborn started together: "Oscorp".
* AmbiguousStartOfDarkness: While there is no denying that the implants drove him over the edge, some of his notes and the images of the other villains in his study imply that he had been plotting his revenge against Norman long before the first game even began. Mr. Negative's terrorist actions mixed with the harmful effects of his implants gave him the final push he needed.
* BaitAndSwitch: Early on, Otto catches Peter working on the Spider-Man suit in their lab. While it initially seems like he's connected the dots, it turns out he just thinks Peter designs Spider-Man's equipment, which Peter [[SureLetsGoWithThat decides to go with]]. [[spoiler:As it is revealed later, Otto knew Peter is Spider-Man all along; he may have faked it in that moment.]]
* BigFun: Vendetta against Norman aside, he's a jovial, if portly man with a good heart.
* BreakupBreakout: [[invoked]] Otto unfortunately found himself on the bad end of this in regards to his former partnership with Norman.
* TheCameo: He appears in ''VideoGame/SpiderManMilesMorales'' in one of Miles' flashbacks when he's visiting the Oscorp Science Center with Phin. Otto and Peter are discussing how they can build their neural interface before Peter suddenly needs to take the rest of the day off for an "emergency".
* CompositeCharacter:
** While close to his comic book counterpart, personality and role wise, Otto also takes some major cues from Max Modell, Peter's scientific idol and boss during [[ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManDanSlott Dan Slott's run]], right down to his mistaken belief that Peter designs Spider-Man's gadgets. Albeit, at the same time, Otto already ''was'' a mentor to Peter in both ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'' and ''Film/SpiderMan2''.
** His role as Peter's scientific mentor trying to develop a remedy to a disablity he suffers from is similar to traditional portrayals of Dr. Curt Connors.
** As a former associate of Norman who was screwed over by him, he's one for Mendell Stromm, complete with a genius for robotics. This is fitting since on first coming across Stromm in ''[[ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManLeeAndDitko The Amazing Spider-Man]]'' (''Amazing Spider-Man'' #37), Peter actually compares his tech to Doctor Octopus. This ''also'' applied to Otto himself prior in both cartoons ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' and ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012'', albeit in both, Norman is ''directly responsible'' for Otto becoming Doc Ock (albeit the manner differs in both).
* DealWithTheDevil: Downplayed. After he loses grant from the city, Otto ends up making a deal with Advanced Idea Mechanics (A.I.M.) for their resources after promising them samples of his work. Nonetheless, Peter didn't think Otto getting grants from A.I.M. was a good idea at the time, considering their reputation as "pretty shady". [[spoiler:Given how it was A.I.M.'s resources that allowed Otto to make the arms that'll turn him into Doc Ock, that apparently just adds another list of shady dealings they've likely done.]]
* DitzyGenius: Octavius is a very passionate man about his visions of humans no longer suffering from limb loss, among other ideas, but Peter's the one who has to fix the programming and material errors that crop up in their research so much it's become second habit. He causes enough lab smoke and fire to cause the higher-ups to balk time and time again, and cancel his contract with his tech going to Norman Osborn when they finally get sick of him pushing the line. This can be seen as a case of {{Foreshadowing}} for his disease, however, as the game starts off with only minor errors in his work before they get worse with time.
* EntertaininglyWrong: Early in the game, he catches Peter in the lab with Spider-Man's suit. He immediately deduces that Peter Parker is, in truth, Spider-Man! ...'s tech guy. Peter just smiles and nods. [[spoiler:Subverted when it turns out that Otto actually figured out the truth by the end of the game.]]
* AFateWorseThanDeath: His disease is this to him. The idea of a fully functional, genius mind trapped inside a broken body incapable of doing anything is one of the reasons he works on prosthetic limbs.
* GeniusCripple: He reveals midway through the game that as a result of working around radioactive materials at Oscorp for too long, he now suffers from a neurodegenerative disease that is gradually causing his muscles to lower in quality and efficiency while leaving his mind intact.
* InkSuitActor: Strongly resembles a clean-shaven William Salyers.
* ItsPersonal: Otto reveals that "Oscorp" gained the name it has because he and Norman Osborn made the company together in this continuity. They were even best friends in college, known as "The O's", but the two had very different ideas of how to go about helping humanity, with Otto focusing on theoretical sciences to better the body and Norman focusing more on profit via state-of-the-art gadgets and weapons development. This led to a falling out, Otto going his own way due to their "differences" with a corporate throw-out implied. When Norman pops up again to screw over his research, Otto is ''not'' a happy camper, [[spoiler:and starts taking shady loans and deals to continue to gain funding as his rage begins to blind his foresight in his work.]]
* JustThinkOfThePotential: As his work on neural interface prosthetics starts to make progress, Otto starts thinking of the full possibilities of the idea -- why limit such technology to recreating the human body and limbs, when they could create prosthetics that are ''better'' than the human body? Peter can come across a design for such a prosthetic on one of the whiteboards in Otto's lab, envisioning a limb with much more freedom of flexibility and motion than a normal human's arm has. [[spoiler:It's no coincidence that the design looks a lot like Doc Ock's iconic tentacles.]]
* LikeASonToMe: Peter and Otto clearly mean a lot to each other as colleagues and associates, and Otto's practically like a second father to Peter. It's only outright stated near the end [[spoiler:after everything's gone to hell.]]
* MadScientist: Downplayed, but even with his AdaptationalHeroism, Otto tends to pursue his scientific endeavors in dangerous and unethical ways. A running subplot is that he's conducting tests alone without Peter or anyone else to help supervise, Peter often has to help him iron out the kinks in his designs after lab accidents, and Peter himself notes that while Otto's experiments are ambitious and fantastic, they're also risky. [[spoiler:And this is before he becomes Doctor Octopus.]]
* MentorArchetype: Has been Peter's mentor since Pete was still an undergraduate in college, even hiring him on as his Lab Assistant after Peter graduated.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Peter's blue in their research. Otto is driven by his neurodegenerative disorder, and seemingly relies more on his emotions that logical thinking; for example, he's the one who made the decision to jump right into neural interfacing, and Peter's analysis of Otto's resulting interface shows that it has many, ''many'' bugs that needed fixing.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure:
** Early in the game, Otto discovers Peter tinkering with his Spider-Man suit in his lab. Rather than thinking Peter is Spider-Man, he assumes that Peter must be Spider-Man's partner, supplying him with his gear. Otto's response to this is actually admitting how proud of Peter he is of putting his intellect to such good work, and helping Peter to further advance his suit.
** He's also clearly saddened to be forced to let go of Peter after [[spoiler:the lab has its grant revoked by Osborn]], and constantly tries to regain funding so they can continue to work together.
** Despite the pressure he's under to produce, and how much on both a personal and professional level his work means to him,
* TheResenter: Towards Norman Osborn; it's gradually revealed throughout the game that Otto resents the fact that Norman became a big success without him while Otto was left in relative obscurity. Otto ends up revealing to Pete that Oscorp actually originated as a start-up venture between Otto and Norman but after the experiments started to get increasingly unethical, Otto decided to back out of the company and it led to some ugly fallout between the two colleagues.
* TheReveal: He discusses with Peter mid-way through the game about something that had been cropping up, about how he is suffering from a genetic neurodegenerative disease that is gradually causing his
* SecretSecretKeeper: The game's ending reveals that [[spoiler:he ''did'' realize Peter was Spider-Man, but kept it to himself and continues to do so.]]
* SoProudOfYou: His reaction to finding out Peter [[SureLetsGoWithThat "crafts Spider-Man's gear."]]
* WalkingSpoiler: The mere fact that Otto Octavius is in the [[SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer first game was completely left out of marketing]] because it alone spoils that [[spoiler:[[ForegoneConclusion Doctor Octopus would be in it]]]].
* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Norman Osborn, to the point that "Oscorp" doesn't mean "Osborn Corporation" in this universe but rather a nickname Norman and Otto had as college lab partners among their peers (called "the O's" for their last names, which Otto spun into the company name when they decided to go into business together). However, Osborn, dabbling in less-than-ethical genetic experiments while Otto wanted to better mankind through science, led to their split. Otto was ousted from Oscorp with the agreement he take a large settlement package and he has relied on grants to get Octavius Industries off the ground. Unfortunately, with Norman as mayor of NYC (and thus the holder of the pen for the government's checks to Otto), this means their bad history can interfere with Otto's work.

* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: In the comics, Norman initially cared about Harry enough that his fear of disappointing his son could bring him out of a Goblin episode, though he was still an extremely distant father. Later retcons would establish that Norman was so evil that he sold Harry's soul to the devil to ensure Oscorp's success. Here, Norman is a genuinely caring father whose desperation to save his son from the same disease that killed his wife is what leads Norman to throw ethics out the window and causes both the Devil's Breath crisis and the symbiote takeover. Norman and Harry's strained relationship in this this continuity is caused mainly by ideological differences rather than Norman being neglectful: Harry prefers the more modest lifestyle that Peter and Mary Jane have, while Norman isn't afraid to flaunt his wealth.
