Editing Doctor Octopus (Raimi) (section)

====Fusion Reactor====

=====Life’s Work=====
Driven by his dream of creating a self-sustaining fusion reactor to deliver limitless energy to New York City, Otto dedicated years of his life to studying fusion technology. To aid in his experiments, he designed a set of advanced mechanical tentacles capable of withstanding extreme heat and performing delicate operations with precision. To ensure safety, Otto integrated a neural inhibitor chip into the tentacles, giving him full control over their operation.

=====Funded by Oscorp=====
While advancing his work, Otto sought financial backing for his ambitious project. Harry Osborn, representing Oscorp, saw potential in the reactor and agreed to fund Otto’s research, hoping it would bring significant profits to the company.

=====Meeting Peter Parker=====
The day before the reactor’s demonstration, Harry introduced Otto to Peter Parker, a young college student and aspiring scientist. Harry explained Peter’s admiration for Otto and his intention to write a paper on him. Initially dismissive, Otto reconsidered out of gratitude for Harry’s financial support. Once Harry left for a board meeting, Otto engaged Peter in a more personal discussion, recalling Connors’ praise for Peter’s intellect.

During their conversation, Otto emphasized that intelligence was a gift meant to benefit humanity, not just a tool for personal achievement. He proudly introduced Peter to his fusion reactor, addressing Peter’s concerns by reassuring him of its safety. Otto and Rosalie expressed confidence in the project, with Rosie encouraging Peter to sleep soundly without worry.

Later, over lunch, Otto debated with Rosalie about taking a rest before the presentation, revealing his relentless dedication to the reactor. Impressed by Peter’s understanding of scientific concepts such as the curve of quickest descent, Otto praised his knowledge. Rosie, sensing Peter’s reserved nature, inquired about his romantic life, prompting Otto to share how he won Rosalie’s heart through poetry. Otto advised Peter to consider poetry as a way to connect with others, showing his more personal and lighthearted side.

'''The Birth of Doctor Octopus'''

The day after Otto Octavius' meeting with Peter Parker, he conducted a public demonstration of his fusion reactor, attended by Peter and Harry Osborn. Otto began by showcasing his mechanical tentacles, emphasizing their importance in handling the reactor's volatile processes. He then presented the main attraction: the Fusion Reactor, which he powered using tritium, thanking Harry and Oscorp for their financial support. Initially, the reactor appeared successful, prompting his assistant Raymond to express optimism.

However, as the reactor drew more power, the reaction destabilized. Despite clear signs of failure, Otto refused to shut it down, convinced it would stabilize in time. When Spider-Man arrived to intervene, Otto resisted, attacking him in defense of his work. Tragically, the demonstration resulted in collateral damage that killed Rosalie. The ensuing electrical surge from the reactor destroyed the inhibitor chip on Otto’s tentacles, leaving him unconscious and allowing the tentacles to seize control.
