DR. OCTOPUS

AKA Otto Octavius. And supervillain to Spiderman. Like most villains, Dr. Octopus is a genius. And  a victim of his own invention, so to speak. His atomic research allowed him to create a chest harness that controls four mechanical arms that act as tentacles. The radiation from his experiment also affected his brain and changes this scientist into a megalomaniacal criminal.

It probably didn’t help matters that his mother was overbearing and his father was a bully. There’s his  sympathetic credibility right there, which as we’re learning all month, is uber important for villains to have. No one is born bad. They become that way.

OZ

Who doesn’t love Oz?? We’re probably all a product of this story in some way, since it’s a childhood staple for so many. I was always terrified of the Wicked Witch of the West as a child, and she doesn’t make my villain list this year as I have three others already, but she’s always worth mentioning.

Sure wouldn’t mind taking a vacation in the Emerald City and get that special spa treatment. lol

How about you? Any favorite places from Oz? How about an O villain? Are you still holding up through A-Z?
