Octavius Industries was a technological research company that was founded and owned by Otto Octavius in Marvel's Spider-Man. The only other employee was Peter Parker; who worked as a lab assistant before the company was shut down due to Octavius' involvement in the Devil's Breath crisis.

Octavius Industries' lab is located in Greenwich, New York City, atop a large building. The lab itself is abundant with prototype prosthetics and equipment, much of which is controlled from computers, and powered by an unstable electric current. The experimental equipment is prone to disrepair and often broken before being fixed by Parker.

History[]

Early history[]

Otto Octavius founded the company sometime after he left Oscorp. The company was not a success as Octavius hoped, due at least in part to being overshadowed by Oscorp, forcing Octavius to rely on grants for funding. Around 2017, Octavius hired Peter Parker to work for the company.

Marvel's Spider-Man[]

By October 2018, Octavius and Parker were working on perfecting prosthetic limbs, receiving funding from NYC. However, after an equipment malfunction, Mayor Norman Osborn had the grant revoked. Ostensibly, this was in light of the safety violation, but was more likely an attempt to force Octavius into returning to Oscorp, which he adamantly refused.

As Otto's insecurities about his declining health increased, his insanity and aggression worsened as well. He suddenly found himself inspired by Martin Li's attempts at destroying Norman Osborn's life. Otto began using his company as a staging ground, where he plotted out the Raft breakout to assemble a team of superhumans to aid him in his quest to take down Oscorp, with the help from A.I.M.. This plot was eventually foiled by mainly Spider-Man with some help from his allies. The company was then officially rendered defunct.

By the time of the Maggia Civil War a few months later, the entire building where the company was at had been sealed up with police crime scene tapes, and the windows had been boarded.

Roughly a year after, the building that once hosted Octavius Industries has been condemned.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2[]

One of Otto's projects that was bankrolled by A.I.M. has been preserved at the Emily-May Foundation.

Gameplay[]

The Octavius Industries lab is first visited in the mission "My OTHER Other Job". After this, it is returned to for many missions, and can be revisited by the player at any point. During all visits to the lab, the player controls Peter Parker without the Spider-Man suit.

Within the lab, the player can interact with various devices as well as lab recordings and messages left by Otto Octavius. The main activity within the lab are projects. Though many of these are completed during story missions, additional projects become available for Research Tokens.

By the time of the The City That Never Sleeps DLC, Octavius Industries is inaccessible and sealed off with crime scene tapes.
