Why wasn't Doctor Octopus invited to join the Intelligencia?

[Michael Watkins]

Otto would seem to be smarter than Doc Samson and Red Ghost. and he's at least as smart as Egghead. is it just his temperament?

[Rob London]

I don't think Ock would much care to be on a team with guys even approaching his own level of intelligence. His Sinister Sixes were pretty much him leading five high-school dropouts.

[Minerboh]

His planet sized ego is the answer you seek.

[Master Planner]

Well,in Marvel Heroes game,he was a part of it.

I'm going with... because the Intelligencia isn't ALL of the best super-genius villains. If it was it'd probably include Doom. Yes, we all know Doom isn't a team player, but still, he is a super-genius.


If I was to write an in-universe reason, they either didn't think to ask him, or couldn't find him when they were getting together.

Doom was in the original lineup. He betrayed the others. They later retaliated in a small event.

Hmmm, interesting. It would seem that the characters were chosen to somewhat mirror the Illuminati.

Doc Samson isn't a villain. What would he be doing with the Intelligencia? Do you mean The Leader?

there was a period where he became basically the savage version of himself.
