The Octopus is a minor enemy of Batman and Superman.
History[]
Octopus was a masked criminal who lead the Octopus Gang, a criminal syndicate active in Gotham City and Metropolis. Octopus wore a mask and decorative-tentacled costume while having their henchmen wear masks with octopus symbols. The Octopus' base was located in a cave which kept various live aquatic animals in tanks.
The Octopus Gang went on a crime-wave and became enemies of Batman, Robin and Superman. However, the Octopus was frequently saved by the blundering new vigilante, Crimson Avenger. Octopus also had one of their henchmen dress up as Crimson Avenger and attack the three superheroes. The real Crimson Avenger managed to assist the heroes however, and the group found Octopus' lair.
During the fight, Octopus revealed a lever which when pulled would detonate bombs in Metropolis and held the heroes back. However, Crimson Avenger posed as the Octopus' imposter and caught him off guard, shooting Octopus with a Kryptonite ray-gun which he found in the lair. Octopus was subsequently arrested for their crimes.
