Doc Ock is a Spider-Man minifigure released in 2004 and was formerly the scientist Otto Octavius.
Background
Spider-Man Trilogy
In Spider-Man 2, Doc Ock (aka Dr. Otto Gunther Octavius) was introduced to Peter Parker when Harry Osborn invited Peter to meet Octavius. A few days later Doctor Octavius had a show, introducing the fusion power. In order to control the power he was making, the doctor needed "extra arms" to control the power. Then when the show was in process, and the fusion power experiment that was just about to become a success, it malfunctioned. Causing an event, similar to what would happen in a "black hole" situation. The giant ball of fusion started to suck objects in. Glass then broke apart and killed Doctor Octavius's wife, Rosie. The doctor was then knocked unconscious. Peter then immediately changed his clothes and appeared again as Spider-Man. Spider-Man then unplugged all the wires that powered the machine. After paramedics arrived, and the doctor and his wife being taken to the E.R, the doctor was then revived and then went a rampage, murdering people, because of the death of his wife. Doctor Octavius then became Doctor Octopus (or Doc Ock). After a few bank robberies, the menace then went to the Osborn's residence, as Doc Ock needed a Tridion that would be used to power the doom device. Harry had the Tridion, but would only give it to Ock if Ock brought him Spider-Man alive. Ock finds Peter Parker (who takes Spider-Man's pictures) and orders him to tell Spider-Man to meet him at a clock tower, or else he will kill Mary Jane. Spider-Man arrives at the clock tower and the two battle. They fall onto a moving train, and Ock knocks Spider-Man unconscious, then delivers him to Harry. Harry unmasked Spider-Man and found out that it was his best friend Peter Parker.He told Peter where the location of the event was taking place, and that Mary Jane Watson was there. After a fight with Spider-Man, and a near death experience, Doctor Octopus realized that his machine would destroy New York unless it was stopped. He then sacrificed his life to drown the machine in the river. Spider-Man saved Mary Jane, and then fled the scene.
Ultimate Spider-Man
Otto was a scientist working for Oscorp when a lab explosion almost killed him. He was saved by Oscorp technology and has to wear a technological suit to keep himself alive and four tentacles to help him move around and perform tasks, as he was paralyzed from the neck down. He was hired by Norman Osborn to capture Spider-Man so Oscorp could use his DNA to make supersoldiers. Many unsuccessful attempts and captures had been made, and the closest created had been Venom, another enemy of Spider-Man.
He grew desperate after his job was threatened by Norman, and he finally decided to capture Spider-Man by himself. He was successful and brought Spider-Man to his secret hideout, but he broke free and the two fought, with Spidey gaining the upperhand by webbing Ock's vents on his suit and destroying his arms, one of which ends up in Dr. Conners' possesion. Osborn blew up the lab to avoid S.H.I.E.L.D. tracing Ock to him, Nick Fury saved Spider-Man but Doc Ock was presumed dead, as S.H.I.E.L.D. could not locate Ock's body.
Ock returned seeking revenge on Norman Osborn, by attacking him with Iron Man's armours. He sent an Octobot to hack into Tony Stark's database for information regarding his suits and the Arc Reactor. Otto built an suit similar to Tony's but modified for his own use, and attacked both Osborns on the Helicarrier under S.H.I.E.L.D. protection. Iron Man and Spider-Man worked to stop Ock, but failed. Ock took Harry Osborn hostage, prompting Norman to try and reason with Otto, but he refused as Osborn had confined him to the shadows and slavery. Spider-Man in the Iron Spider armour faced Ock and they battle, while Otto attempted to tell Spider-Man that Norman was behind all of it. Otto was beaten after Iron Man showed up at the last minute, and Norman managed to get him away from S.H.I.EL.D. and placed him in a recuperating tank.
Soon, Octavius captured Spider-Man once again through the use of the Frightful Four and a squadron of Octobots, distracting Spidey's team along the way. He revealed himself to Spider-Man as now confined in a green bubble, with appendages emerging from many sections of his lab. After he is "beaten" by Spider-Man, he retreats into a robot suit as Norman Osborn confronts him. Before Norman can unmask the wall crawler, Octavius injected Osborn with an experimental green serum (made of Venom and Spider-Man's DNA), with which turned him into the Green Goblin and placed a collar with which he can control Osbourn, for the abuse Osborn had treated him with. However, Osborn broke free of Octavius's control and proceeded to beat down and rip apart Octavius and his lab, setting it on fire in the process, which resulted in Oscorp being burnt down.
He survived the attack but had to wear a more sophisticated device to keep himself alive, has a scar on his mouth, and specailized goggles. He was researching animal DNA, inspired by Spider-Man. Spider-Man and his team later took down Ock at his new lab, but Ock escaped as S.H.I.E.L.D. showed up. When Dr. Conners injected himself with Ock's Lizard DNA to regrown his missing arm, he became the Lizard. Ock and Spider-Man were forced to team up to take down the Lizard. Spider-Man managed to use Ock's formula to cure Conners, while Ock escaped.
Alex O'Hirn later stole some of Ock's rhino DNA to become the Rhino and get back at Flash Thompson for his bullying.
Ock later became the leader of the Sinister Six, which also included Beetle, the Lizard (who he controlled with a implanted chip, until he broke free), the Rhino (who he promised more Rhino DNA), Electro, and Kraven the Hunter. He used each of their hatred and want of revenge of Spider-Man and abilities to help bring down Spidey, but failed and Spider-Man ripped off Ock's tentacles. Ock was locked up in a specialized cell.
Spider-Man approached Ock for a way to cure Norman's condition, as S.H.I.E.L.D.'s first priority was to lock the Goblin in a prison on the moon rather than cure him. Ock feared for his life when he learned the Goblin was aboard the Tricarrier with them, and demanded his tentacles be brought to him. When the Goblin broke free with the help of the Venom symbiote who took over most of the S.H.I.E.L.D. personal , he found Ock and was about to be killed before being saved by Spider-Man, who brought Ock to his tentacles. The two formed an alliance and Ock developed an antidote while Spider-Man fought off Green Goblin, who had bonded with the symbiote. Ock finished the cure, and was only going to inject Goblin, but Spider-Man took and smashed it, dispersing the cure throughout the Tricarrier. The cure freed the S.H.I.E.L.D. personal and not only removed Venom from Goblin, but turned Goblin back into Norman. Ock promptly escaped in a pod.
