History: (Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#21 (fb) - BTS) - A group of criminals sought to honor Dr. Octopus, who was believed dead, by adopting costumes from various eras of his criminal career. They came up with four disguises, complete with working tentacle arms and jet-boots, and called themselves Pre-Doc Ock (from Dr. Octopus's scientist days), Dark Ock (Dr. Octopus in dark colors), Doctor Cyberock (cyborg Dr. Octopus) and Doctopus (a Dr. Octopus with an actual octopus on his head). They called themselves the Octopals and launched their criminal career during a time when other criminals were dressing as various villains and heroes to commit crimes.

(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#21) - The Octopals tried robbing a bank but they were attacked by Brain Drain, Chipmunk Hunk and Koi Boi. The Octopals claimed to be actual versions of Dr. Octopus from across the timeline but they were easily defeated by the three heroes. Dr. Cyberock escaped then the other Octopals rushed away while the heroes argued. Later, the Octopals rented a discreet van from Crazy Sam's Discreet Rent-A-Van then sought to rob a shipping container full of smuggler's gold, and they were talking about how they were the only legitimate criminals acting during this recent crime wave. Brain Drain, Chipmunk Hunk and Koi Boi attacked and easily defeated the criminals this time.
