No manner Homeretroactively establishes thatOctavius know Norman Osborn , and while this is not surprising – both are brilliant scientist in their Marvel existence – Otto ’s noesis of Osborn ’s dandy mystery is . After Norman Osborn ’s expiry , Octavius partnered with Oscorp Technologies ( run by Harry Osborn at the time ) for his fusion experimentation , yetSpider - Man 2gave no reading that Octavius would know about Norman ’s murderous alter ego .

The Spider-Man 2 Novel Reveals One Of Doctor Octopus’s Secret Abilities
TheSpider - Man 2novelization by Peter David , like othernon - film material in the RaimiSpider - Manfranchise , dilate the floor and lore of the three films with more dialogue , scenes , and characters . When present Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson in a café , Doctor Octopus reveals a hidden ability of his iconic mechanical tentacles :
My babies are multitalented . This total city ’s communications system live on and dies on fiber optics , which my tentacles are easily able to plug away into .
In context , Doctor Octopus used this ability to tap Peter Parker ’s phone and get word of his whereabouts to confront him . This hidden ability also unknowingly allow for one of the best possible explanation for how Doctor Octopus would have learn that Norman Osborn was the Green Goblin . consider his destination of receive more tritium for his fusion twist from Harry Osborn , it is reasonable to assume thatDoctor Octopus used this ability to hack the Osborn penthouse ’s devices as well , inadvertently discovering the Goblin lair(which uses Oscorp reckoner ) and thus connecting the dots that the belated Osborn was the Goblin .

Doc Ock’s Hacking Abilities Originate From The Comics
Fascinatingly , Doctor Octopus ’s enhanced chop ability originate in Marvel ’s comic . In the infamousClone Saga , Kaine ( a Peter Parker clone ) murdered the original Doc Ock , but he was soon come after by Carolyn Trainer , a bright student and champion of his . Trainer fit herself with a set of Octavius ’s mechanically skillful tentacle and declare herself the raw Doctor Octopus , using the same mortal gadgetry – and adding her own new I to the tentacle – as her predecessor against Spider - Man and his clone , Ben Reily .
One of Carolyn Trainer ’s additions to the tentacles ’ armory is an enhanced power to link up to and hack information processing system . As prove in one fight with Alistaire Smythe ( a genius in his own right ) , Trainer quickly and effortlessly hack into one of Smythe ’s devices . Once Otto Octavius was resurrected – good manners of the felonious administration The Hand – Trainer returned the tentacle to him , granting him the same enhanced hacking abilitiesas his abruptly - lived successor . consider the comic truth of Alfred Molina ’s Doc Ock , it is fitting that he includes this obscure ability from the comics .
The Doctor Octopus Hacking Explanation Makes The Most Sense
The true individuality of the Green Goblin was not public knowledge in the RaimiSpider - Manuniverse , though the Goblin ’s death by impalement was , as unwrap by theSandman inNo Way Home . The Raimi universe ’s Otto Octavius was a genius who could have potentially figured out Osborn ’s secret on his own - but the fact is , he was a good humanity before becoming Doctor Octopus . It is perhaps too much of a stretch to evoke that Octavius would have keep this knowledge to himself while working closely with Harry Osbornand Oscorp Technologies .
Having Octavius discover the Green Goblin ’s identicalness after becoming a supervillain makes far more sense , asDoc Ock would have no reason or interest in act on this cognition . As Doctor Octopus , Otto had no involvement in the dirty secrets of his late colleague , as he was almost whole preoccupy with rebuilding his nuclear fusion machine at any cost . While Doctor Octopus would have taken this knowledge with him to his weak tomb in the principal Raimi timeline , Spider - Man : No Way Homeallows him to ruminate on his discovery and interact with the Green Goblin onscreen .
