Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

OctoROV!

Or maybe a creature of man/octopus DNA that's given robotic limbs after a near-fatal crash of a spaceship.

RoboOctoMan!

Isn't that a Spiderman villian?

Yeah, except Doc Oc lacks octopus DNA. Think how much more deadly he'd be if he could spray ink at his victims.

Given how they already re-worked Peter Parker's web shooting abilities, the last thing I would need to see is Alfred Molina spraying ink.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You say this, but I think about, say, the Rhinoceros whose real-life counterpart has a 2 foot dick. Marvel should just steer clear in general.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Robopus!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Robopus!

This makes me think it should be a kitten. A deadly robot kitten.

A deadly robot kitten.

With 8 arms. Everyone wins. Except for Robopus's enemies. And maybe his scratching post will suffer unduly.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Not to mention the furniture.

Yeah. And having a Robopus would require an upgrade to one's Roomba.

OctoRoomba!
