Synopsis for Spider-Man Versus Doctor Octopus Now there s my idea of a hero The Human Torch -- and a guy like Spider-Man, too Why don tcha watch and see what a real man is like, bookworm --Flash Thompson
Spider-Man catches Charlie and his two pals robbing a warehouse. Surprising them with his Spider Signal light, he quickly overcomes them and webs them up for the police. Meanwhile, atomic scientist Otto Octavius, known to his colleagues as Doctor Octopus because of the unique set of four remote-controlled arms he invented for handling radioactive material, is hard at work at the U.S. Atomic Research Center. Suddenly his experiment goes awry. In the ensuing explosion, Otto Octavius s mechanical arms fuse to his body, and the excess radiation alters his brain. When he awakens at Bliss Private Hospital, he discovers that he can make his mechanical arms move by thought alone, just as if they were his real arms. With his brain unbalanced, Dr. Octopus forcibly takes over the hospital as his first criminal act. J. Jonah Jameson learns of the strange events at the hospital, and sends Peter Parker to take some photographs. Peter sneaks into the hospital as Spider-Man, and discovers the hospital staff held captive by Dr. Octopus. Spider-Man is badly beaten in their battle, but Dr. Octopus s captives manage to escape. Dr. Octopus returns to the U.S. Atomic Research Center and takes over its computer, and soon gains possession of the greatest source of atomic power in the nation. Meanwhile, Peter Parker is dispirited following his defeat. The government asks the Fantastic Four to retake the laboratory from Dr. Octopus, but they decline because of other commitments. The Human Torch, unable to use his flame because of a viral illness, nevertheless appears at Midtown High School to address the student body. The speech he gives is so inspiring that Peter Parker regains his self-confidence. He decides he can defeat Dr. Octopus after all. Spider-Man soon enters the laboratory, where he builds two devices from chemicals and wire. When Dr. Octopus finds him, Spider-Man tosses one of the devices around two of the criminal s mechanical arms, melting them together. Then he squirts web fluid all over Dr. Octopus s glasses. Temporarily blinded with two of his arms stuck together, Dr. Octopus is easily knocked out and left helpless for the police. When Spider-Man later thanks the Human Torch for his inspiring speech, the Human Torch, cured of his illness, is perplexed.


Now, watch me trap a spider in a web of my own--a web made of my new-found arms 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 -- Doctor Octopus
