Carolyn Trainer (also known as Lady Octopus) is a supervillain who appears in the 2017 Spider-Man series.
Lady Octopus was created by J.M. DeMatteis and Angel Medina.
Background[]
This version has a Ph.D in electronics, which she used to fake her criminal record and have herself put in a cell next to Doctor Octopus in superhuman prison, the Cellar, where he manipulates her into obtaining crystals for a modified neuro cortex device for mind enhancement. After Spider-Man defeats her, she learns she had been manipulated and seeks revenge. To achieve this, she and Spider-Man fight Doc Ock and put her former idol into a coma. Following the fight, she relinquishes her tentacle harness and leaves.
Powers and abilities[]
- Tentacles: Lady Octopus wears a special harness, similar to the one used by the original Doctor Octopus, which incorporates four strong and highly resistant mechanical appendages, which can be extended or retracted at will. These "tentacles" can lift weights far greater than any human, be used as a means of transportation, and have superhumanly fast reaction time.
- Genius-Level Intellect: Aside from her harness, Lady Octopus possesses a genius-level intellect, and studied robotics, information technology, applied physics, and mechanical engineering.
Trivia[]
- An alternate universe version of Lady Octopus appears in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, voiced by Kathryn Hahn. This version is a female variation of Otto Octavius named Dr. Olivia "Liv" Octavius. However, this is unassociated with Disney in any way, purely a Sony Pictures Animation project.
- Lady Octopus was first introduced in The Amazing Spider-Man #406 (October 1995).
