There, he finally realized the value of the city's life outweighed his own glory and even his own life. However, his desire for praise was overcome with the power of guilt and remorse, exhibited upon his failed initial experiment, and further demonstrated in his last showdown with Spider-Man. He has somewhat right-wing tendencies and values productivity. He is, however, very charismatic and suave, rarely losing his temper and remaining perpetually friendly and cheerful, even in the face of his opponents. Like any narcissist, he refused to come to terms with his own mistakes and shifted all his problems onto Spider-Man, and was hell-bent on recycling failed ideas under the logic they were tampered with by others rather than being flawed, to begin with. Following the incident, his mechanical arms took control of his mind due to the destruction of the inhibitor chip, which led the the arms playing on his ego and manipulating him to finish his experiment at all costs.

After the remaining villains were cured, Octavius along with the others were sent back to their respective universes, where he was given a second chance at life in his world. Indebted, Otto helped him, his native Spider-Man, and another alternate Spider-Man in their fight against their adversaries on Liberty Island. Twenty years later, a version of him prior to his redemption and death was accidentally transported to a different universe through space and time alive from a spell performed by Doctor Strange, where that universe's Spider-Man helped release him from the corrosive AI of his tentacles.
