Biography

In the last page of the Clone Saga, Doctor Octopus was killed by Kaine, and was replaced by Carlyn Trainer, Otto's assistant and Seward Trainer's daughter. She took the name of Doctor Octopus in homage to her beloved mentor.

She became jealous of her father's close relationship with Ben Reilly (Scarlet Spider). She used to blackmail her way to steal her father's research on merging virtual reality and reality by stealing a serum that can cure a very sick Mary Jane Watson. She was later beaten to a pulp by Spider-Man and revealed to working with a certain "Master Programmer".

Carolyn still wanted to merged virtual reality and reality, but end up starting a war against Alistair Smythe. She hired the Looter, Override, Aura and Octavius' lover, GStunner to aid her in battle and was successful in obtaining the data she need but was defeated again by the Scarlet Spider.

It was revealed why she wanted to merge virtual reality and reality, the Master Programmer was revealed to be a virtual copy of Octavius' mind, and with the research, she could "resurrect" the original Doc Ock. When it failed, she tried to claim the comatosed body of her father, but was captured by the police.

Some time later, an evil ninja cult named The Hand, who were working with The Rose (Richard Fisk) dug up the body of Octavius and resurrected him. Although suffering with some slight amnesia, Carolyn fed his mind with the Master Programmer data. She became his assistant but subsequently disappeared in the background.

Her latest appearance was in the Secret Wars and is using the name "Lady Octopus" to distinguish herself from her mentor.
