Red Dead Onlineplayers have kept the game alive through their clever creations, with custom characters being one of the most popular things to show off. While there have been plenty ofRed Dead Onlinecharacters that serve as tributes to specific franchises, Spider-Man fans should get a kick out of the latest design.
This is not the first time that Spider-Man-related content has been shared inRed Dead Online, however. Earlier this year, someonemade theirRed Dead Onlinecharacter into Spider-Man, with a clever costume seeing a black hood worn alongside a red shirt and blue suspenders. Rope was used as a stand-in for webs, letting the player live out their Spidey fantasies in a wild west setting. Now, Redditor HeySoloSoyYoy has given the old timey Spidey a villain to do battle with.

The Redditor shared two versions of the supervillainDoctor Octopus, and Sam Raimi fans will surely be happy with the first design. The player perfectly captures the version of Doc Ock fromSpider-Man 2, with an image of the live action Otto Octavius seen in the upper right corner. The character model is slightly heavier than mostRed Dead Onlinecreations, which is a smart touch that shows he is a regular man turned evil. The hair is spot-on, as are the small shades that perfectly match those worn in the film. However, it is Doc Ock’s outfit that steals the show.
TheRed Dead Onlineplayergives the villain a turtleneck shirt and leather jacket that closely resembles the one in the film, but the real star of the show is the gun belt. Two belts wrap around Otto’s chest, something that clearly resembles the antagonist’s deadly mechanical arms. Given how important the prosthetics are to the character, the design would likely feel incomplete without them. Fortunately, HeySoloSoyYo found the perfect way to represent them within a grounded 1890s setting.
While Doc Ock’s role inthe recently releasedSpider-Man: No Way Homewill surely make the first design a hit with fans, comic book readers should be fond of the second. The Redditor manages to completely recreate Doc Ock’s original comic book design, with silly yellow gloves included alongside a tight green suit. He also wears some traditional glasses, with the neck piece replaced with a yellow scarf. While there are small inconsistencies, like a gun belt and some other colors being used for the scarf’s pattern, it is remarkably close to Doc Ock’s traditional look.
WhileSpider-Man villains like Venomwould be almost impossible to pull off inRed Dead Online, HeySoloSoyYo has shown that more grounded characters work just fine. With these Doctor Octopus designs being spot on, hopefully the Redditor continues to share their cleverRed Dead Onlinecreations with the game’s community.
Red Dead Onlineis available now on PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
