Every kid thinks he's different. Some of them are. Once he was Otto
Octavius- a brilliant but introverted young scientist who built a set of
highly advanced robotic arms to help him further the field of atomic
research. But a freak laboratory accident grafted the mechanical
tentacles to his body and altered Octavius' mind: abandoning his
scientific dreams, he turned instead to a life of crime! Now, peer
behind the curtain to witness the birth of a mad genius! Featuring
Doctor Octopus' first encounters with both Peter Parker and Spider-Man,
the first appearance of Doc Ock's arms and the true inspiration that led
him to build his remarkable appendages - which may have come from a
certain web-slinging wall-crawler! It's the beginning of an amazing,
superior rivalry for the ages!
