Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse - Ranking Every Character From Worst To Best

12. Olivia Octavius/Doctor Octopus

It's at this point than we're getting to Into the Spider-Verse's more threatening villains, starting with a surprise addition to the film's rogue's gallery: Doctor Octopus.

The film introduces a curious character early on, a scientist named Olivia working for Wilson Fisk who, at first, appears to be genuinely well-meaning, unaware of her boss' evil intentions, and genuinely even likeable.

As things progress, however, it soon becomes apparent that this persona is all an act, with the scientist revealing her full name to be Dr. Olivia Octavius, Miles' universe's version of Doctor Octopus.

Not only does this twist absolutely hit the mark but, as we've already established, Olivia is a fairly entertaining character in her own right. She's clever, she's sadistic when she needs to be, and she's more than capable of holding her own when it comes to going toe-to-toe with the Spider-people.

It's been a long time since we've seen a Doc Ock on the big screen, but Olivia certainly made it worth the wait.
