Is Doctor Octopus good?
Doc Ock has good matchups against a few named champions: he converts 
Cable's Power Gain into Power Lock progress, punishes 
Wolverine's repeated regeneration with Heal Block, and can steal bonus Power while cutting Special damage against 
Cyclops (Blue Team). Against others, though, 
Crossbones turns two of his Breakthroughs into Fury for himself, 
Yondu's Power Gain reduction slows his own charge-up, and 
Ronan can force a Breakthrough only to strip it and lock him down.
C tier: a matchup-dependent pick more than a generalist.
Strengths
Weaknesses
- Crossbones turns his Breakthroughs into his own Fury
- Yondu's Power Gain reduction slows his Breakthrough charge
- Ronan can force then strip a Breakthrough and lock him down
Profile
Doctor Octopus's full name is Otto Octavius.
Background
Otto Octavius came from a troubled home.
Determined not to follow in his abusive father's footsteps, Otto devoted himself to his studies.
Despite years of derision from his peers, he became a nuclear physicist.
But after he had to have the mechanical arms he designed and built surgically removed following an accident, Otto finally had enough.
Assuming the derogatory name his co-workers had coined for him, Otto began a life of crime as Doctor Octopus!

Skills
8Scientific Method
PassiveResearch is built in each Category until it hits 100. If you haven’t gained research in a category for 10 seconds it begins to fall off. Each Category grants a Passive effect which scales as its category builds. When a Category reaches 100, it triggers a Breakthrough, as long as there isn’t one already active. When a Breakthrough effect expires, all Research Categories are reset to 0.
Physics
Passive Research CategoryBuilds on Opponent Gaining Power. Scaling Effect: Opponent’s Special Attack Damage reduced by up to 50%. Breakthrough: Applies a Power Lock Debuff on the Opponent which lasts 5 seconds.
Chemistry
Passive Research CategoryBuilds on Block or Parry. Scaling Effect: Increase of up to 2250 Block Proficiency. Breakthrough: Applies a Heal Block Debuff to the Opponent which lasts 5 seconds.
At tier 6
Biology
Passive Research CategoryBuilds when landing Hits and when being Struck. Scaling Effect: Passive Fury, granting up to 3795 Attack Rating. Breakthrough: Applies an Armor Up Buff, granting 2250 Armor for 5 seconds. Remove all currently active Breakthroughs dealing 3795 damage per Breakthrough removed.

Academic Background
Signature AbilityDoctor Octopus’s extensive academic background lets him start the fight with each of his Research Categories at 60 and each Breakthrough is replaced by a new effect. Physics: Power Drain 100% of any power gained and steal 5.71 - 15% of the Power Drained. Chemistry: Deal Direct Damage equal to 100% of Health Gained and Lifesteal 15.71 - 25% of the Damage done. Biology: Gain the standard Biology Breakthrough Armor Up and 428.57 - 925.37 Armor Penetration while it’s active.

Thesis
Special 1Special 1 - Thesis Doc Ock has a theory, that he’s better than you are. If you don’t believe him he’ll be happy to demonstrate that fact for you. Reset the duration of any currently active Breakthrough Effect. If no Breakthroughs are currently active, it triggers the Breakthrough of whichever category is currently highest.
Experiment
Special 2Special 2 - Experiment Like any good scientist, Doc Ock will need to put his hypothesis to the test, much to the detriment of his test subjects. Trigger the Breakthrough effect of all Research Categories currently at 100, and reset the duration of all Breakthroughs to 3.5 seconds per Category currently at 100.
Proof
Special 3Special 3 - Proof After much careful study and experimentation, Doc Ock can now mathematically prove that your defeat is inevitable. Duplicate 1 currently active Breakthrough(s) with a duration of 5 seconds. This Duration increases by 10 seconds per currently active Breakthrough.
