Rival Panels: Spider-man vs Doctor Octopus

In addition to being a brilliant scientific mind and ace freelance photographer, Peter Parker is the amazing Spider-Man, a hero who gained incredible superpowers after being bitten by a radioactive spider. Swinging through the streets of New York on his web lines and wall-crawling his way to the scene of a crisis, Spider-Man arrives just in time to stop the plots of his nefarious foe: Doctor Otto Octavius!

The man now known as Doctor Octopus was once a driven, ingenious researcher who graduated from M.I.T. at the top of his class. An accident while handling radioactive materials fused tentacle- like metal appendages to his body and damaged his mind, warping him into a twisted criminal mastermind and foe of Spider-Man. Doctor Octopus’s efforts to defeat Spider-Man led him to form the Sinister Six, a group devoted to taking down the web-slinging Super Hero.
