Doctor Octopus--Repaint

"Now, watch me trap a spider in a web of my own -- a web made of my new-found arms! Your strength is merely that of a spider, but mine is the energy of an atom, born of a nuclear accident!"
                                                                              -Doctor Octopus, The Amazing Spider-Man #3

And now: to our tentacle-y, sinister doctor: Doc Ock!

Doctor Octopus has always been one of my favorite Spider-Man villains. The first live action super hero movie I ever saw (unless you count the '66 Batman film) was Spider-Man 2 and Doc Ock was as deadly and sinister then as he ever has been.

So onto the figure!

Time to Catch a Spider

The figure used was an Ultimates Doc Ock Heroclix. I left him in his silver and green color scheme rather than painting him yellow and green--the colors I remember him wearing--and opting for his ultimates costume (seeing that those seem to be the colors he's been wearing in these newer modern age comics.)

I'm very pleased with how the rubble looks, and I usually don't care for rubble on bases

I was particularly fond of how the tentacles turned out. The sculpt is so nice for a Heroclix!

And here he is tangoing with our wall crawler!

"You're no match for me, Spider."

And here is the good doctor's Army Card.

Docta Octa's Army Card

I was happy with the design, but he came out less powerful than I should have hoped. Nevertheless, he's fun to play: raw, smashing power until he loses arms. Plus, his coils can keep even the Amazing Spider-man from using Spidy Sense to escape, holding him down to be subjected to his four attacks!

And there you have it! What do you think of the good doctor? Sound off in the comments below!
