Marvel's Spider-Man Mod Makes Doc Ock Playable

screenrant.com:

A recent Marvel’s Spider-Man mod allows players to roam the open-world streets of New York City as the game’s primary antagonist, the dreaded Dr. Octopus. In Insomniac’s critically acclaimed take on the Spider-Man mythos, Dr. Otto Octavius is a well-meaning scientist looking to find a cure for his developing neurological disorder — a venture that eventually leads him to invent his classic mechanical tentacles. However, a defect in the machines slowly starts to corrupt his mind, and he soon sets out to take revenge on his former colleague Norman Osborn by forming the Sinister Six alongside the Inner Demons gang leader Mister Negative.

This puts Octavius on a collision course with his current protégé Peter Parker, and while eagle-eyed players can spot a clue to Otto’s darker nature by playing around in Marvel’s Spider-Man’s Photo Mode, poor Peter is shocked and horrified at the eventual revelation that his idol is behind the Devil's Breath outbreak that is affecting New York in the latter half of the game. It all comes to a head in Marvel’s Spider-Man’s emotional final boss battle, that sees Spider-Man fight the newly-minted Doc Ock along the side of Oscorp Tower, and the aftermath of this confrontation and Otto’s larger machinations comes at a heavy price for the perpetually unlucky web-slinger. While Ock remains incarcerated at the supervillain prison The Raft during the events of 2020’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, he does appear in a flashback with Peter as a sobering reminder of how close the pair of scientists were before Otto’s fall from grace.
