2. Not even Professor X
Add his human arms and legs, and that gives this Doc Ock eight limbs.

7. A closer look at the tentacles
http://www.cinescape.com/0/editorial.asp?aff_id=0&this_cat=Movies&action=page&type_id=&cat_id=270338&obj_id=39190#

Unlike the character's comic book counterpart, Doctor Octopus' tentacles each have a different function and are able to do different things. You can see a hint of this if you look very closely at the ends of each of the tentacles; the ends appear similar but have minor differences from each other. "The four claws are not identical...for very cool reasons," writes our source. And listening to what Marvel Studios' Avi Arad had to say at the SPIDER-MAN 2 panel on Saturday, they might also each have their own distinct personality! Now we're really excited to see these babies in full action against Spidey!

"Each of the tentacles has the underside painted yellow like a snake belly," our source goes on to say. "The yellow is a bright 'police line' kind of yellow. It really makes the tentacles look like serious machinery." Again, if you look closely at the teaser image Sony provided us you'll be able to indeed see a yellow stripe running down one side of each tentacle.

Also hinted at in the teaser poster is a clue as to where Spidey and Doc Ock will go at each other in the picture. If you look at the full-size image supplied at the top of this page, you will see Octavius standing on the top of a structure. And if you look very closely at the bottom, you'll be able to see the top of what appears to be a roman numeral. That's because Octopus is perched at the top of a clock tower, a very important location for a major action sequence in SPIDER-MAN 2. That's where Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus go at it web to claw!

In the comic book Doctor Octopus had a hairstyle that makes him look like one of the Beatles during the 60s. He also wore thick circular glasses that whited out his eyes, giving him more of a menacing look. For the movie translation Raimi's tried to keep Ock's look as close as he can without losing points for fashion disasters; thus, the movie version of Doc Ock has bangs and wears shades to obscure his eyes. Instead of a white labcoat, the movie Octopus wears a green trenchcoat.

10. I miss the Moe Howard haircut and the coke-bottle glasses...
but I admit the tentacles look pretty nasty.
