A funny detail in Marvel's Spider-Man will likely prove to some that Doc Ock was always unhinged. The detail is one that can be found while exploring Otto Octavious' lab. The detail in question from Marvel's Spider-Man involves the antagonist's eating habits in his workspace.
Released in 2018, Marvel's Spider-Man quickly became one of the best-selling Marvel games of all time. As of this writing, the game has sold over 33 million copies worldwide and was well-reviewed by critics. This was bolstered by the PC release of Marvel's Spider-Man which became the second-biggest Sony launch on Steam. Despite the fact that the game came out nearly five years ago, fans are still discovering new details and, in some cases, drawing new conclusions about the characters.
One Marvel's Spider-Man Oscorp detail revealed that people at the company thought the web-slinger was an old man. Now fans have pointed out a new detail about Doc Ock. While looking around his lab, Reddit User Km3daallstar noticed an open pizza box surrounded by several others in the antagonist's lab. What was shocking to the user was that it appeared that Octavious used a fork to eat his pizza instead of his hands. The user humorously implied that this was evidence that the character was nuts before he put on the claws and that Peter Parker should have known that he would eventually turn evil.
Throughout the majority of the game, Mister Negative was the antagonist of Marvel's Spider-Man. The character gradually started taking over Wilson Fisk's territory and had an ultimate plan to destroy Oscorp by releasing a virus into the city. His plan was ultimately thwarted by Spider-Man before he was eventually revealed to be Martin Li. Unfortunately, a deadlier antagonist revealed himself soon after.
In one of the game's more tragic twists, Peter's beloved boss, Doctor Otto Octavius made a heel turn in the game's final act. Like Mr. Negative, he had an axe to grind against Oscorp and joined up with him and several other villains to complete the task. His mind was apparently corrupted by the use of his iconic robotic arms similar to how it was in the films. The fight with Doc Ock in Marvel's Spider-Man was cut down to avoid crunch but remains one of the game's more emotionally charged boss fights. For some fans, however, it seems that eating pizza with a fork is evidence that Doc Ock was always an unhinged lunatic.
Marvel's Spider-Man is available now for PC, PS4, and PS5.
