Dr. Otto Octavius/Doctor Octopus (Alfred Molina)

Dr. Otto Gunther Octavius, later called Doctor Octopus, also known as Doc Ock, is the main antagonist of the 2004 superhero film Spider-Man 2, the second installment of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy. He also serves as a major character in the 2021 Marvel Cinematic Universe film Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Why He R(ock)s

 * 1) He is one of the most iconic villains in any superhero movie, rivaling the popularity of Joker from The Dark Knight, Green Goblin from the first Spider-Man movie, Thanos from the MCU and many others.
 * 2) While he is a villain, his actions are extremely relatable, as he just wanted to try and rebuild his machine after it was destroyed the first time.
 * 3) He has tons of funny and memorable lines, including "Butterfingers", "The power of the sun, in the palm of my hands", "I will not die a monster" and "Hello Peter".
 * 4) Alfred Molina does an excellent job at playing him.
 * 5) Before he turned evil, he was a likable scientist, having a great relationship with Peter.
 * 6) His origin of how he became a supervillain is extremely tragic, as his wife has died, his arms were permanently attached to his back and the inhibitor chip designed to protect his mind has gotten destroyed.
 * 7) His design is incredibly well done, ditching his green and yellow outfit from the comics in favor of a Matrix inspired outfit, in fact, many fans consider his design in the movies better than the one in the comics.
 * 8) While he isn't as strong as say, Green Goblin or Venom, he is still shown to be rather powerful, such as the scene where he killed all the doctors and nurses in the hospital room and when he was able to rip open a bank vault.
 * 9) While he is rather evil, he doesn't really kill people (apart from the doctors and nurses in the hospital scene), as he usually just holds them hostage, like what he did with MJ, Spidey and Aunt May.
 * 10) His death and redemption was extremely tragic.
 * 11) His reappearance in No Way Home was incredibly awesome, and a nice surprise when the trailer launched.
 * 12) He was later redeemed, as MCU Peter made a new inhibitor chip, and it worked.
 * 13) He pretended to be evil during the final battle in No Way Home, but it turned out to be a trick just so he could get Electro's Arc Reactor, and give him the cure for him.
 * 14) His relationship with Tobey's Peter is really good, as once he took off his mask, Otto instantly recognized him and he expressed how glad he is to see his Peter again and commented that he had grown up since the time they had last met. When he asked how the latter had been, Peter responded that he was trying to do better.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) In one scene in Spider-Man 2, he steals money to build his machine again, but if he's a criminal now then he should have just saved time and steal the parts themselves.
 * 2) In No Way Home, instead of helping MCU Peter fight off the other 4 villains, he mostly ran away like a coward, though it could be understandable as he probably didn't want to get involved. To be fair, he was knocked out of the building by Electro and couldn't help because of it.
