Editing Doctor Octopus (Raimi) (section)

=====Stopping the Fusion Reactor=====
Back at his lair, Doctor Octopus used the stolen tritium to restart his fusion reactor, now larger and more unstable than ever. Refusing to release Mary Jane out of fear she might alert the authorities, Doc Ock focused on his work. However, Spider-Man arrived to save her. Though initially unaware of Spider-Man’s presence, his tentacles sensed the threat, alerting him to the hero’s approach.

Furious that Harry Osborn had not killed Spider-Man, Doc Ock engaged in a brutal fight with the web-slinger. Spider-Man eventually incapacitated him by using an electric shock from the reactor's power cables. Regaining consciousness, Doc Ock saw Spider-Man attempting to shut down the reactor. The reactor's magnetic field, however, grew exponentially, pulling in metal objects from across the city, creating a dire situation.

Spider-Man, in an effort to stop the chaos, revealed his identity as Peter Parker to Otto, pleading for his help and reminding him of the speech Otto had once given about intelligence being a gift to use for the good of mankind. Peter’s words, along with the electric shock, broke the tentacles' control over Otto, restoring his mind.

Realizing the reactor was beyond saving, Otto resolved to stop it himself. Knowing it could only be neutralized by submerging it in water, he took control of his tentacles and ripped the reactor’s supports, allowing it to sink into the river. Despite Peter's offer to help, Otto insisted on making the sacrifice himself, stating that he would not die a monster. In an act of redemption, Otto drowned the reactor, saving the city but perishing alongside his creation, bringing an end to his tragic arc.
