[Spider-Man 2] Even acknowledging that Spider-Man is pulling his punches like he usually does, how is Otto Octavius able to withstand so many of Spider-Man’s attacks?

He’s a middle aged scientist who gets the ability to control four metal arms with his mind and no other superpowers. So even with Spider-Man pulling his punches and not hitting him with his full strength, how is he able to withstand so many hits? He’s still just a human being. Let’s assume this will also carry over to No Way Home where he’ll withstand THREE Spider-Men hitting him.

In some versions,  the arms protect him automatically, so it wouldn't be out of the question for the arms to  move Otto so that he rolls with the punches and  dampens the blow. When the arms can't directly get in the way, that is.
