Doctor Octopus



Doctor Octopus is the pseudonym of Otto Octavius, a villain from the Spider-Man comic books.

In the 2004 movie Spider-Man 2 directed by Sam Raimi, the robotic arms affixed to Doc Ock (played by Alfred Molina) were practical effects manipulated on set by puppeteers wearing blue screen suits which where matted out during post-production.

When Molina reprised the role in 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home, the robotic arms were completely CGI.
