Into the Spider-Verse subverted expectations in a number of crowd-pleasing ways, but nothing quite matched the brilliance of giving audiences a gender-swapped Doctor Octopus.

Wilson Fisk's (Liev Schreiber) head scientist is introduced early on and simply referred to as "Olivia" (Kathryn Hahn), while seeming like your typical, bookish scientist character.

However, when Miles (Shameik Moore) and alternate universe Peter Parker (Jake Johnson) attempt to sneak into her lab, she catches them, reveals her true supervillain identity and chases the pair through the woods.

It's a brilliant rug-pull that completely upended what audiences thought they were seeing, bolstered by a remarkable vocal performance from the ever-terrific Kathryn Hann.
