Born in Schenectady, New York, Otto Octavius became a brilliant and respected nuclear physicist, atomic research consultant, inventor, and lecturer. He designed a set of highly advanced mechanical arms controlled via a brain–computer interface to assist him with his research into atomic physics. With the intention of destroying Spider-Man, he used several inventions including a cloning machine, which brought the beginning of the end of his criminal life, with a duplicate of himself that managed to overcome in strength and intelligence, which succeeded in removing him from the Sinister Six and taking away his harness. He received the help of Tony Stark who built a new set of arms in order to leave the criminal life aside.
