History
You... saved me. W-Why? What could possibly possess you to--
Y-you. W-when you saved me and Ms. Marconi. She needed help... but I ran. Ever since, all I wanted... was a chance to do what's right. My whole life... I've been nothing but a fat, pompous ass. But you... showed me what it means... to be a hero. Th-thank you, Spider-
In college, he needed help from fellow student Otto Octavius to pass class. Years later, he teaches Anna Maria Marconi and "Peter Parker", in reality Otto who had switched bodies with Peter to cheat death. Because of this, Otto considered Lamaze a total jerk and treated him with condescension despite being his teacher. Donad thus took in a shadow of "Peter" and when he presented his doctoral thesis he accused him of having plagiarized it from that of Otto Octavius.[2] Otto was intent on preventing the accusation from being formalized, including by threatening or killing Lamaze, but shortly after the campus was attacked by Stunner and Lamaze and Anna Maria (now Otto's girlfriend) risked getting under a bus because of Stunner.[3] Otto raised the vehicle to save them and Lamaze ran away pushing Anna.[3] Regretful of this he later apologized to her, but she did not take it off realizing that he had acted in a panic.[3] That same evening, Otto visited Lamaze using his old appearance thanks to a virtual reality generator and scared him enough to convince him to drop his accusation.[3] Months after Norman Osborn, who had discovered about the exchange of minds, took Lamaze hostage believing him to be a loved one to Otto and when he went to free him (believing that the hostage was Anna Maria), he took control of Otto's mechanical arms so that attempted to kill him and Donald sacrificed his life to prevent Otto from being shot in the back.[1]
When Otto asked him why he had sacrificed his life for him, Lamaze replied that he had never been able to forgive himself for risking the life of one of his students to save his own and that he had shown him what it meant to be a hero.[1] Otto was enraged by Lamaze's death and swore revenge on the Goblin.[1]See Also
