[ ooookay, it's doc ock. well, sort of doc ock. the tentacles are different. he's definitely too tall. his hair is, like, a hundred times better than that shitty bowl cut. he's not wearing a stupid costume or spider-man's body. and he's being casually conversational. (sometimes, it pays to have been an enormous nerd.)
