Disney+’s Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Episode 5 has finally introduced Doc Ock, aka Otto Octavius, to the mix. Voiced by Hugh Dancy, the evil genius is revealed to be the mastermind who supplied futuristic inventions to criminals across New York City.
However, Doctor Octopus‘ first appearance in this elseworld MCU project came without the character sporting his iconic robotic arms. As such, fans have wondered what the ending of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Episode 5 could mean for Otto’s future in the series.
Here’s everything you need to know regarding Otto’s potential plans in the said animated series.
What is Otto Octavius aka Doc Ock planning in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man?
After arming dangerous perpetrators with his creations, Doc Ock is finally busted in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Episode 5. After his nefarious plans come to light, Otto reveals what motivated him to stoop to such low standards. A frustrated Octavius expresses that he allowed his inventions to fall into the wrong hands for recognition.
According to Otto, he possesses a similar, if not superior, intellect to that of Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, and Norman Osborn. Nevertheless, he never received the love and affection that the public showered on Iron Man and Hulk.
With revenge and a defined purpose in his mind, Otto decided to take matters into his own hands. Therefore, he intentionally created the likes of Butane, Tarantula, Speed Demon, and Unicorn to challenge Spider-Man.
Doc Ock’s confession in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Episode 5 indicates that he will continue to create such disturbances for the wall-crawling superhero. Moreover, it should only be a matter of time before he receives his robotic arms in the show.
Otto’s desperation to receive acknowledgment for his genius should only expedite his transformation into Doctor Octopus. As such, fans can expect Doc Ock to be a constant threat to Peter Parker in the upcoming episodes of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.
