"Your strength is merely that of a spider, but mine is the energy of an atom, born of a nuclear accident! You dared to mock me before! Why aren't you mocking me now? Where are your brave words and taunts now, Spider-Man?"
"So that's it?! You are afraid to fail--AGAIN?! TOUGH! I've lost more times than I've won, and every damn time I got back up! That's all that matters! [...] When victory is easy, it's cheap! Every fight that's ever been worth fighting has been against adversity! Against a so-called "unbeatable foe"! But there is no such thing! Every enemy has a weakness! You just have to find it! Once! You just have to win one time! Say it! [...] We all have feet of clay. We all fall down. But in us is the spirit to rise back up! It's not the power of the spider that makes any of us who we are! It's the will of the man!" ― Superior Spider-Man inspiring an alternative version of uncle Ben
Summary
Born in Schenectady, New York, Otto Octavius had a turbulent upbringing due to his abusive father Torbert berating him for being constantly bullied at school. Due to his mother's insistence that he could solve anything with his mind rather than with brute force, Otto focused more on his education, becoming a brilliant and respected nuclear physicist who devoted his entire life to developing a fusion-based energy source. His work eventually led him to Oscorp. By the time Octavius finally finished his fusion reactor for Oscorp, having lost his mother and the woman he loved during that time, he unveiled a harness of highly advanced mechanical arms controlled via a brain–computer interface to assist him with his research into atomic physics.
But because the energy core became unstable, and in part due to being too stubborn to turn off the machine, the experiment turned into a complete disaster, with Spider-Man saving the day. Yet the damage was done, as direct exposure to the energy core damaged Octavius mentally and physically. The heat from the energy core fused the metal harness to his spine, forcing the hospital staff to build an iron lung around Octavius's body to save his life. But Octavius, driven mad by his refusal to accept that he was wrong, escaped soon after and turned to a life of crime as the supervillain Doctor Octopus.
