Aaand we're done.

You're obsolete now. Forgotten and unwanted.

the real question is where do you like the arms to attach? i like the back myself. upper and lower both give interesting looks for otto.
All the villain costumes in this game are great, save maybe Scorpion
I'm more of a "sides" person.
Also Osborn is my favorite Spidey villain for a multitude of reasons.
Where are my Mysteriochads at??
I love all the Spidey rogues, but I feel some of the lesser known ones deserve recognition. Characters such as White Rabbit, The Spot, Vermin, and so on hardly get enough spotlight
Not until they get big roles in cartoons or a movie. Has the game helped Mr. Negative much?
is he even still alive in the comics?
The best spider-man villain
BASED
Yeah. Cloak and Dagger are enemies of him now. Dark Kingdom was his last comic appearance I think?
This is what Doc Ock actually looked like in the PSX Spiderman game, I'm not really sure what point you are trying to make
redesigns count?
Remember when Edge of Time tried to recreate Monster Ock with Atrocity?
>Also Osborn is my favorite Spidey villain for a multitude of reasons.
Osborn is a villain among villains. People can complain "ohhh but he's like Lex Luthor mixed with Joker anymore muh Hyde/Jeckel dynamic" all they want as if literally all super heroes/villains aren't rehashes of some other idea anyway, but nobody can deny that Stormin Norman is the big bad, the fact that he takes such pride in being a cunt is entertaining.
/thread
For me, it's him
Osborn is too much like The Joker to me. Spider-Man is the joke cracker. An ideal arch nemesis would be his temperamental opposite.
So, Doc Ock?
looks like shit
Back makes the most sense for spine and nervous system support
sides and front are cool all the same
this game gave us the perfect Dr octopus.
the game is just great in everything
Osborn and Peter are opposites in different ways. The "Goblin persona" is vaguely Joker-like in some surface level ways in that he's a maniacal grinning lunatic with a bunch of themed gadgets, but their goals and character traits are very different and their dynamic to the hero is different. Where the Batman vs. Joker dynamic is very much about order vs. chaos, I see the Spidey vs. Goblin dynamic as more about moral responsibility vs. power lust.
Where Peter Parker is an idealistic "young person" who's main trait as Spidey is the need to do the morally right thing, Norman Osborn is an amoral business man who pretty much has always revolved around gaining more power at the expense of/with no regard for others. If you were to strip away the capeshit aspect and just view who Joker and Norman Osborn would be in real life as criminals, Joker would be some agenda driven terrorist trying to cause mass panic, while Osborn would be a sociopathic white collar criminal who does a lot of horrible shit but maintains a level of wealth and status.
Dock Ock is a different and just as good kind of villain in relation to Peter, in that Otto is almost a parallel to Peter in some ways, it's good nerd vs. bad nerd, it capitalizes on that aspect of Peter. Aside from that though, Otto doesn't really seem to have a clear goal outside of "I must conduct my experiments, and I've become mad so I'll use crime to do it" and also he has developed a hatred of Spidey for kicking his ass. I see Ock as having more in common with the other Spidey villains in that way like Electro and Vulture only way more smart and competent, which is why he works perfectly as the leader of the Sinister Six, a position I don't think Norman would fit very well.
