Learn about Doctor Octopus (Serena Patel), the 2099 villain in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, her Alchemax role, and motivations.
Dr. Serena Patel leads Alchemax's Shadow Division, a department known for unethical experiments such as human testing, gene splicing, and creating addictive designer drugs. This division operates with no ethical boundaries, leading Miguel O'Hara to distance himself from the company years prior. Recognizing her lab as a potential target for Spider-Man, Patel developed an advanced assault suit designed to counter, restrain, and potentially eliminate him. She modeled this suit after the one worn by her idol, Doctor Otto Octavius, who historical records suggest may have defeated the Heroic Age's Spider-Man in a final confrontation. Patel's objective as the 2099 Doctor Octopus is to see history repeat itself.
