Information About

Doc Otaku




Doc Otaku is a character from the Freedom City setting of the Mutants And Masterminds Role-playing Game . Like most characters from Freedom City, Doc Otaku is similar to an existing Comic Book character, in this case the Marvel Comics villain Arcade , with aspects of other characters such as DC Comics ' Toyman , and the Control Freak from the Teen Titans animated series. His name is based on Doctor Octopus (a Spider-Man villain, often referred to as "Doc Ock") and the Japanese cultural phenomenon of the Otaku .

Solo Takashi was a child prodigy, earning his first Doctorate by 12 years of age. He studied under the Immortal genius and inventor Daedalus of the Freedom League , but was unwilling to discipline himself, and wound up turning against his mentor and becoming a criminal-- not for money, he had plenty of that, but for the thrill and challenge of beating heroes, especially Daedalus.

Doc Otaku is extremely brilliant, but is mainly a bored, spoiled child who sees life as a game and other people as potential playthings. He surrounds himself with robots of his own making, especially the ''Angel Androids'', a trio of beautiful female toys dressed like Japanese schoolgirls, programmed to fawn over him and feed his already bloated ego. Most of his other robots resemble Mecha , the giant robots from Anime cartoons. He also utilizes android doubles of himself, as decoys to let him escape the scene of a lost battle (something that always enrages him).
