Doctor Cephalopod

A delightfully sinister newcomer to the Marvel cosmos, Doctor Cephalopod slithered onto the scene in 2022's Spider-Gwen: Gwenverse #1, conjured by the creative team of Tim Seeley and Jodi Nishijima. This Modern Age villain occupies a wonderfully weird corner of the Spider-Verse, sharing pages with the likes of Ghost-Spider, Gwen Stacy, Thorgwen, and even Captain America across appearances in Spider-Gwen: Gwenverse and Miles Morales: Spider-Man. With only a handful of appearances so far, Doctor Cephalopod is precisely the kind of fresh, offbeat antagonist that makes modern Marvel such fertile ground for collectors who love getting in on the ground floor.
