"I didn't see the part where he develops as a character so I guess he never developed as a character"

S-Alpha posted:

Looking at those panels and this discussion, suddenly all I want is a semi-heroic (classic) Doc Ock series. Something where he tries to incorporate into normal society and you see him doing things like carrying all his groceries home with all his arms, doing all sorts of chores at once, and occasionally getting into situations where he's gotta do something heroic.

I can't get that idea out of my head now. :argh:

When the kids tease him about being fat and having stupid hair he'll angrily shake ALL SIX ARMS at them!

To my mind, the defining aspect of Doc Ock is the 4 large metal arms grafted onto his back, not his dapper green tunic and yellow gloves.

There was a period where he was in a white suit.

Related to the above, I remember a Sinister Six collection where he was in the white suit. His plan was to launch a rocket to effectively prevent people from taking the harmful luxury drugs like cocaine. The idea was he'd sell the counter-agent to those who could afford it. I distinctly remember it was one of those times where Spider-Man wondered whether he should have stopped Dr.Octopus.

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


Ock also tried to cure AIDS one time. It was just to save the love of his life, so it was relatively selfish, but still. They're actually revisiting that in the latest Superior Team-up story, but wisely changed the illness to something other than AIDS because they retconned it that Norman was the one who deliberately infected her, and having a villain give someone AIDS is really stupid even for comics.

Lobok posted:

Maybe not the sleeping part, but I unironically think this is how Ock should be portrayed. Why would he use his real arms anymore? His tentacles never tire and are as strong as all get-out. It would really sell the schlubby creepiness to him while also demonstrating his intelligence and skill with the arms.

But when he does that, people give out to him.

When it comes to Doc Ock, there's those fantastic pages of him just after Peter unmasked in Civil War where it shows that Ock works out with his normal arms, and looked loving ripped from all his prison working out.

Secret Avengers

A SHIELD comic having nothing to do with the Avengers. That show must be sucking at the ratings if they won't even capitalize on its name with a comic series. It's been reinvented into something more Hawkeye-esque and it has MODOK being wacky, so at least there's that.
