Journal Entry 7:
July 7th 1832
Dr. Otto Octavius.
Monday 8:43 AM.
"It has been three months since the accident that caused the massive temporal rift that sent me here. Dragging not only myself, but an unknown assailant into what history has dubbed "The Old West." 1832 to be precise. I am keeping this journal as a testament to my work, in case I never make it out of this unrefined hell hole. "
"It started after I had broken into the Indian Point Center power plant to steal the isotope needed for my newest invention.,..The Temporal Generator. I had created it to measure the curve of time and space. In theory the device creates its own event horizon, so that I may observe and record the speed of light as it enters it and vanishes. Proving once and for all that if a body is sped up to match and surpass the velocity of light, it may indeed time travel. Little did I know my experiment was going to be true to its word...."
"All was going to plan ..and then "she" arrived. What was a woman in a bathing suit and tiara doing there in the first place?! "
"The woman must of been some sort of new Avenger or perhaps even a mutant? Another Xavier reject no doubt. Either way she was far stronger then she looked...Thanks to her interference my machine overloaded and from what I can surmise, ripped open a hole in time and space. Trapping us here in some dust bowl pioneer town. Now, stranded without so much as the most meager of modern luxuries. I am forced to "rough it" as it were. Thankfully my actuators have their lithium fusion battery that will last for another fifty years. Or I would of truly been alone. "
"I have taken up refuge in an old cabin near an abandoned mine shaft. Long since run dry of gold, it now serves my purpose. I have been using it to mine ore needed to repair the generator. However, In order to get back to my own time I need power. Therefore I need equipment and money. So I have been forced to stoop to the role of common bandit. "
"If my father were still alive, he may even be pleased seeing me in this getup. How he did love that ludicrous show..What was it called again?....Bonanza? Thankfully he is not..."
"Either way I must adapt if I am to survive. I am determined to return to my own time."
"My attacker's status is of yet unknown. For her sake pray we do not cross paths....."

Pausing from his writing a faint train whistle is heard as Doctor Octopus looks up. A metal tentacle curls upward from under his jacket and opens a pocket watch as he glances at the time. "Heh. 8:45. The train is on time for once....Pity for them."
