Team Affiliations Alchemax
Olivia Octavius is from the Sony Universe film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

Olivia Octavius, also known as Doctor Octopus, was a supervillain and scientist working at Alchemax.

Biography[]

Little is known about the early life of Olivia. Presumably she is related to Otto Octavius, the other Doctor Octopus, though it is unknown how.

Olivia worked for Kingpin. Kingpin hired Olivia to build a portal device called the Super Collider to other dimensions so Kingpin could get his deceased family back. However, the Super Collider was unstable and threatened to pull New York City into a blackhole.

When Peter Parker and Miles Morales broke into Alchemax to get information on the Super Collider they were discovered by Olivia who chased after them. Doc Ock nearly caught Miles and Peter. However, Spider-Woman arrived and rescued them.

Peni Parker created an override key to shut down the Super Collider. However, Doctor Octopus, Prowler, Scorpion and Tombstone tracked the Spider-Gang to May Parker's house and fought them.

When the Spider-Gang arrived at Fisk Tower to stop the Super Collider they were attacked by Doctor Octopus. They briefly fought. However, Olivia was hit by a bus that was being flown around by the energy that the Super Collider was producing. It is unknown what happened to Doctor Octopus after this.

Powers and Abilities[]

Doctor Octopus had four powerful inflatable arms.

Alternate Version[]

While Doctor Octopus appears in several alternate universes, they all appear to be the Otto version with this being the only female version.

Background[]

Olivia is voiced by Kathryn Hahn.

Olivia is an original character. This is the first animated version to feature a female variation of Doctor Octopus.

When Peter and Miles meet Olivia for the first time at Alchemax, Olivia tells Peter "My friends call me Liv. My enemies call me Doc Ock". Later, when Olivia attacks the Spider-Gang at the Parker home, May Parker says "Oh great, it's Liv" implying that at some point in the past Olivia Octavius and May Parker used to be friends. This could be a reference to The Amazing Spider-Man #131 where Otto Octavis learned that May Parker had inherited a small Canadian island containing a commercial nuclear reactor and Doc Ock nearly married Aunt May to get ownership of the reactor.

In the theatrical cut of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Olivia Octavius's fate after being hit by the bus is left ambiguous since she is never seen again. However, in the Alternate Universe Cut of the movie after being hit by the bus Olivia stands up and looks at the portal that was created by the Super Collider. She then says "The power of the multiverse in the palm of my hand", paraphrasing Doctor Octopus's line from Spider-Man 2: "The power of the sun in the palm of my hand". Olivia then dives into the portal possibly sending her to another dimension.
