AU LORE + stupid POLL

i don't have cringi fanart to lurk you in. yet. but i do have technical *.txt piece, sort of "worldbuilding&questioning". so, if you're really eager to see any new content..

First of all, all that superhuman-supernatural stuff, ether Marvel or DC or other, is working more for commercial sell than for analysing extraordinary scenarios or deeply experimenting with "super" environments. Science fiction sometimes do! But those are comics, for vast audience, so.. i just take my statement axiomatic. Marvel has some of the coolest series and characters, but they did set them in a simplified world to print more covers faster, and now their first, main/official runs are kinda stuck in prescribed goofyness. And i'm just that sort of a person who takes original, makes original-copy, moderates it until half unrecognisable, usually just to enjoy alone ,:/ i shared some thirst art, but

This all based on a mix of early 616 MCU, TSSM (beloved) and bits from different media.

----something general

Starting from Otto – gets de-aged into late 20s. With his genial mind he got a high position at Oscorp really quick, so his sanity had weakened at 31 (was damaged already, in fact), mostly due to Osborn's influence. The significant change in character - he's not just strictly nuclear physicist about industrial energy, he's a skilled robotics engineer, and basically that "tech guy" for all occasions. So when Norman employed him, year later Otto became a new head of previously humble experimental lab of robotics and nuclear manufacturing. While working there for other three years, it became a complex scientific section, where Octavius developed his doctoral thesis. But as Oscorp was already gaining from the shadow weapon development and production, it was a matter of a short time and "personal" work on Otto's mind before Osborn pushed his knowledge and skills into this darker industry.

Basically there were no fighting Spider-man at those times, as Otto acted not on his own and under the protection of corporation. Sometimes his CEO would fund his own research/invention needs, as with doctorate and with infamous "arms". They were kind of a conglomerate of many tests on AI, mechatronics, portative nuclear energy sources and biotechnology in prosthesis, which should contributed to military, control and forces purposes – as the world was filled with people with supernatural powers, and the big part of this minority were feared much, as a "super" feature overlapped mostly on a sample of not "comfortable/safe" people. The only reason exactly Octavius' arms had such design – it was more of a funtime and sidework of a man who genuinely loved cephalopods.

After Otto gone partly insane, he couldn't tolerate being near his previously almost-partner, so he rises his contacts in criminal world, aka proto version of Sinister Six, openly committing crimes around the whole state, stealing dangerous and suspicious stuff, alarming authorities to call some young superhero to catch him, but they are busy with actual supervillains at that time. That's where Peter decided to act, and where their confrontation for several years started.

But what about Norman and Otto? They simply collided with their personal madnesses – from a hard childhood up to pathological psychology and behaviour. Norman is pretty accurate a sociopath in the hugely draining depression, with an idea-fix on family's legacy and with the rare soft spot for Otto (he can't admit), but with actual alter ego of Goblin, who is extremely atrocious and destructive, and has his own perception of "soft spot" for doctor. Mostly like original, but even more deceptively easygoing and kind outside. Octavius is megalomaniac just as depicted in canon, despite the fact he received and never hided it since the childhood, luring people by a humble (cute in some way) appearance and usually ending up terrifying them. What he subconsciously looks for - is both an admiration and love from the whole world and the praise from those who are beyond powerful and a-priory incapable of praising and compassion - right as he sees Norman. So the idea-fix of last becomes his goal too, and they evolving from strangers to kinda lovers rapidly.

Until the accident happened – no melting harness on skin, just a deadly explosion that put Otto in a miserable condition at 32 for about a year, almost taking away his sight and ability to walk. Even if it was Goblin who messed with Octavius' workplace leading to damage, Otto has no belief in that and blames Norman for betrayal, robbing Oscorp greatly (arms inclined) before leaving and forming his criminal band. Despite he doesn't have a clear goal on band's functioning at first (besides periodically rush at Oscorp), Parker started to intervene in their crimes, and so called Doc Ock became obsessed with the idea to defeat Spider-man.

Soon the Green Goblin shows himself the first time, but no body can recognise a director of international corporation in him, as the serum changes him enough (high supernatural aspects of serum). He seems to be on a chase for Spider-man too, for unknown for Otto reasons, so they kind of bond without the last realising he cooperates with his.. well, ex. Osborn, when alter ego takes his mind over, actually defends Otto from superheroes, but for a wicked care attempts - to see how Octavius will hit sufficient madness to be with Goblin.

So it's like - Norman abuses yet strangely adores Otto, Goblin ruins their relationship, then invests in Ottos' sanity fall, so he can have him for his own self. It all whilst Sinister Six battles with Parker, and Octavius find that Peter is Spider-man, but keeps silent as takes their confrontation very personal because he sees in Peter's life the one which he could have, but instead had his horrid childhood and nowadays.

As it's MCU world, there's a good amount of rare interaction between "friends of A, who's friend of B, with friends of B" (works with foes too). I'm just getting exited when clever-guy types from different series meet each other. I want to mess with Stark Industries.

Finally, since now i proudly have more than 0.5 follower, i will abuse my world level popularity

ps - why otto? well. cuz he dramatically sad, wacky af, chaotic, childhood problems, apex bitch behaviour and drawn ugly yasss finally i can relate but charismatic. depends on issue though. yet always neat role model in science field i'm in! ALSO THIS MAN GRAND TTHHICCKK IM THIRSTING

[regularfan]

UPD: ok, a lorebump

[regularfan]

do we need reasons if we came for consequences

DAMN im at it again at least i finally found a good brush

[regularfan]

[regularfan]

norman virgil osborn i hate your baguette alike haircut

[regularfan]

BBWAHAWHAHAHAA I CANT—

Look at them. Just look at them.

Dmn, that's good.

Idk, checked through comics, nerdy man literally has girlfriends of any body type so I launched a shitpost immediately

Also my bi-panic has rapidly intensified

[regularfan]

I can imagine Norman would get furious when someone hurts Otto either physically or emotionally 

Well, octopus man can stand for himself physically, albeit emotionally he is almost defenseless. Not even mentioning how poor man launches a dozen of ego tirades at his opponents... q-q

Few know it and take advantage of those weaknesses, but even fewer can deal with Osborn later.

...um, and this terribly charming man (who I still cannot draw properly) without text

photoshop eats away high resolution again -_-

Man.. You have like evil nuclear science to do... Leave the store... Please...
