Throughout the first season, Octavius primarily operates from the shadows, employing supervillains to capture Spider-Man for his DNA on Norman's behalf; with one of his experiments with Spider-Man's DNA leading to the [[Venom (character)|Venom]] symbiote's creation. Octavius eventually betrays Norman by forcibly turning him into the Green Goblin and escapes after his underwater lab is destroyed. In the second season, Octavius forms the Sinister Six in an attempt to eliminate Spider-Man, only to be defeated. After making minor appearances in the third season, Octavius returns in the fourth season, having allied with [[Hydra (comics)|Hydra]] to form a new iteration of the Sinister Six and create the synthezoid [[Ben Reilly|Scarlet Spider]] to serve as a spy within Spider-Man's team. While leading an attack on the Triskelion, Octavius discovers Spider-Man's secret identity, but is betrayed by Scarlet Spider, who foils his plan. Octavius later reclaims his nanotech and gives himself a younger body before reforming the Sinister Six once more and taking Spider-Man's allies hostage. However, Spider-Man defeats the Sinister Six and persuades Octavius to surrender.

Introduced in the first season, Octavius works as a professor at Horizon High until his tentacle harness becomes fused to his spine following a lab accident caused by the [[Crimson Dynamo]]. Following this, he tries to use his newfound abilities to become a superhero under Spider-Man's guidance until his ego eventually causes him to become a supervillain and form the Sinister Six, though they are defeated by Spider-Man and [[Harry Osborn]] / [[Hobgoblin (comics)|Hobgoblin]]. In the second season, Octavius is released from prison, claiming that he wants to redeem himself, and returns to being a professor at Horizon High. However, he secretly places a bounty on Spider-Man. After being defeated, Octavius is left in a [[coma]] and his consciousness temporarily ends up in the [[Living Brain]] before relocating into Spider-Man's body. During this time, Octavius is inspired by the hero's memories to become [[the Superior Spider-Man]] and befriends Midtown High chemistry teacher [[Anna Maria Marconi]]. Eventually, he is persuaded to allow Spider-Man to reclaim control of his body while he returns to his own comatose body once more.
