| Ross Radke - 23/30 |
Alex: Upfront, this was a tough contest for me. Dr. Octopus is one of my least favorite characters in comics (and entirely the reason I can't get behind Spider-Man 2). What struck me about Ross's design, though, was the camouflage concept. Otto Octavius is a scientist, and while he may be using his skills for evil, it's logical that he would use them to further his efforts. Accepting his lot in life, it would make sense that he'd adopt other attributes of his invertebrate namesake. In terms of costume design, however, there's nothing here that really grabs me, unfortunately.
Mitch: It's nice to see Doc Ock taking more cues from his namesake. And, yeah, I like the suit. The extra curved lines above the belt are something you may not notice right away but they really help bring the suit and the belt together.
Taylor: I really enjoyed this design it felt like a new and exciting interpenetration of Doc Ock. I really liked the face-gear, as well as the rest if the suit, as it kind of reminded me of a hazmat suit. Loved the colours and the camouflage design. Well done!
