    Origin

    No Caption Provided

    After suffering three defeats at the hands of Spider-Man, Doctor Octopus realized that he needed help against the web-slinger. He got in touch with every super-powered villain who had battled the wall-crawler. In the end, five other super-criminals heeded Ock's call---the Vulture, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, Mysterio, and the Sandman. However, Doctor Octopus recognized that he would never be able to control these super-villains. They were incapable of working together or functioning as a well-oiled machine. Instead of trying to change this unruly bunch, Doctor Octopus conceived a battle plan that exploited their individual appetites for personal glory. Each member of the Sinister Six would stage a separate battle with Spider-Man at a carefully chosen location. One by one the criminals would fight him until the wall-crawler was finally destroyed.

    Creation

    The Sinister Six were first introduced in The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #1 and were created by Steve Ditko and Stan Lee.

    Team Evolution

    Throughout the years, the Sinister Six has had many members join and many leave.

    Major Story Arcs

    The Sinister Six

    Origin of the Sinister Six
    Origin of the Sinister Six

    In this story the Sinister Six are created after Doctor Octopus loses to Spider-Man three times in a row. He asked every villain that fought Spider-man at that point but only Sandman, Electro, Vulture, Mysterio, and Kraven The Hunter responded. After facing Spider-Man numerous times, Octopus found that Spider-Man seemed to have a deep connection with Betty Brant, so Sinister Six captures her and a random bystander who turns out to be Aunt May. They call out and dare him to fight them through a gauntlet like tournament. First Spider-Man fought Electro in a Stark Electric Plant, and beat him after regaining his powers that were lost at the time. Next he had to go up against Kraven, but instead of fighting him and his leopards he just takes a note from Kraven that leads him to his next enemy, Mysterio. Mysterio was beaten quickly however and next was Sandman, who lost to Spider-Man since the airtight room they were in made Sandman collapse before Spider-man did. Spider-Man then went on to defeat Vulture and Doctor Octopus, Vulture on a building and Doc Ock in a booby trapped castle.

    Return Of The Sinister Six

    Doctor Octopus, Electro, Mysterio, Sandman and Mysterio escaped from prison and went to get revenge on the wall-crawler. Since the death of Kraven, the Hobgoblin (Macendale) took his place. Doctor Octopus reformed the group, promising them the defeat of Spider-Man. However, this was a trick, part of a larger plan by which Octavius alone would be the master of the world. The Sandman, at this point in his career reformed, aided Spider-Man in defeating the Sinister Six, and ultimately stopping Octavius' plans to conquer the world.

    Revenge Of The Sinister Six

    During this story arc, five villains played as pawns by Doctor Octopus plan to get revenge on him. Ock steels adamantium tentacles from an unnamed old-man at the beginning of the story. Then Sandman checks up on the his landlords at the beginning of the story, and their house blows up. He blames Ock, but in fact it were the other four villains who blew up the house. He learns that during the confrontation with Ock, and is promptly turned into glass (again) due to Ock's new technology. Ock then coerces the four ex-members into working for him again.

    It turns out that Electro was hired by Ock to gather the the other members to get revenge on him. Spider-man gets defeated numerous times to this new Sinister Six though, because of the technology Ock stole from the old man and their new recruit Gog. Spider-man decides to call in some help in the form of Sandman, Hulk, Ghost Rider, Nova, Deathlok (Collins), Solo, Cyborg X, Sleepwalker and the Fantastic Four. Spider-Man leads the team to Ock's team consisting of Octopus, Electro, Vulture, Hobgoblin, Mysterio, and Gog (all with advanced technology that were used to wipe out Gog's entire dimension). But in the end, the superheroes overpower the Sinister Six and win the fight.

    Clone Saga

    When Kaine began killing off Spider-Man's villains, including the founder of the Sinister Six Doctor Octopus, Hobgoblin realized it was only a matter of time till he came for him so he gathered together a group of villains to track him down and kill him. They had the upper hand at first until Spider-Man showed up to save Kaine. The team consisting of Hobgoblin, Beetle, Scorpia, Shocker, Electro, Vulture and Mysterio, who came to be known as the Sinister Seven.

    Another Sinister Six

    Sandman's team was unlike the other teams because they were not organized for the purpose of committing crimes. Instead they were created for the purpose of hunting down the old leader of the Sinister Six, Doc Ock, and getting revenge on him. Venom decided to join them when he realized they would eventually run across Spider-Man and it would give him the opportunity for his own revenge. The team consisting of Sandman, Venom (Brock), Alyosha, Electro, Vulture and Mysterio (Berkhart).

    The Last Stand (Sinister Twelve)

    The Sinister Twelve is a team created by the Green Goblin after, while in prison, he judges that a team of villians would be needed to defeat Spider-Man. Mac Gargan was the de facto leader of the Twelve while Osborn was in prison, and it was he who kidnapped Peter Parker's Aunt May and threatened to kill her if Spider-Man did not help Osborn escape from jail. A desperate Spider-Man, with help from the Black Cat, broke Osborn out, only to be confronted with the Vulture, Sandman, Electro, Chameleon, Lizard, Hydro-Man,Shocker, Carnage, Hammerhead, Boomerang, and Tombstone. Osborn officially dubbed the team the Sinister Twelve. Despite the odds, Spider-Man and the Black Cat, aided by Captain America, Iron Man,Daredevil, Yellowjacket and the Fantastic Four, managed to hold their own. Meanwhile, Osborn kidnapped Mary Jane Watson. Spider-Man pursued him, fighting off Venom along the way. Spider-Man confronted the Goblin, and finally Osborn gave a vital clue as to Aunt May's whereabouts. He was defeated by a combination of being shot by Mary Jane, struck by lightning, and attacked by Doctor Octopus, who was brainwashed by the police into trying to kill him. The Goblin fell into the river below, and Aunt May was found and saved. The rest of the Sinister Twelve were subdued by the heroes and arrested; Gargan ended up, ironically, in Osborn's old cell.

    Civil War

    The Sinister Six were briefly mentioned during the Civil War as being stopped by Captain America and his gang of Secret Avengers, in order to prove to people that they didn't need to be regulated and government approved to fight villains. This is significant because it is the first time that an incarnation of the Sinister Six has not faced off against Spider-Man. The team consisting of Doctor Octopus, Lizard, Trapster, Shocker, Grim Reaper and Vulture.

    Big Time

    Sinister Six-Master Plan
    Sinister Six-Master Plan

    In an attempt to capture Harry Osborn's child to study his unique DNA, Octavius gathered together a group of villains and offered them a prize for the first one to bring him the child. After they were each defeated and disbanded, Octavius kept five of them together for his next plan and they formed the latest incarnation of the Sinister Six. The team consisting of Doctor Octopus, Chameleon, Sandman, Electro, Rhino and Mysterio

    Superior Six

    No Caption Provided

    Not long after Otto Octavious has officially assumed the roll as the Superior Spider-Man. He knew working with the Avengers would be a problem as they did not share his vision of crime fighting. Otto decided to rebuild a new version of the Sinister Six known as the Superior Six. He first started by breaking into the Baxter Building during a mission to watch over the Future Foundation and extracted the main grain of sand that housed the Sandman's mind. He then teamed up with Thor to defeat a return Electro after he had pulled himself back together after his battle with Thor during "Ends of the Earth". Knowing he would need a member who could go deep undercover in the criminal underworld, Otto then hacked into the S.H.I.E.L.D. database and discovered that the Chameleon was imprisoned there. He returned them all to his base on Spider Island (formerly the Raft) where he started working his mind control on the main three.

    Not long afterwards, Otto had discovered that Mysterio has some how returned. Knowing that the Quentin Beck had been trapped in the Ultimate Universe, the Superior Spider-Man discovered that this was a different man known as Mysterion who had been given Mysterio's equipment by the Hobgoblin. After a battle with the Hobgoblin, Otto took Mysterion prisoner and decided he could use the inexperience villain for his new team. The final member was Adrian Toomes, better known as the Vulture. Toomes was still suffering from optic damage after his previous two battles with Otto and it didn't take long for Otto to use his sources to have the Vulture transferred to Spider Island. Otto operated on Toomes and repaired his optic damage and gave him even better vision and implanted his mind control on Toomes.

    Not long afterwards, the Wrecking Crew showed up attacking Alchemax trying to steal a new type of particle generator. They were attacked by the new Sun Girl who had been in the area. She was at a disadvantage with the Wrecking Crew when Otto showed up with his mind controlled Superior Six and the group quickly defeated the Wrecking Crew who fled. It was later revealed that Sun Girl's father, the Lightmaster had sent the Wrecking Crew after the generator and reassembled a new Masters of Evil to attack the Superior Six and Alchemax. The plan ended up freeing the Superior Six from their mind control and seemed to have killed Sun Girl. Distraught thinking his own daughter was dead, the Lightmaster's plan fell apart and the Superior Six attacked what was left of the Masters of Evil without morals and defeated the group before turning towards Otto. However, Sun Girl was revealed to be a live and with Otto's help, he defeated his former team which quickly disbanded but vowing that they would make it their life's mission to destroy Spider-Man for everything he had done to them.

    Superior Foes

    The New Sinister Six
    The New Sinister Six

    With the previous group disbanded, a new team has emerged with the goal to create a weather manipulation device. Led by Boomerang, the new Sinister Six also included: Shocker, Lady Beetle, Overdrive, Speed Demon and the Living Brain. The Superior Spider-Man quickly defeated the Living Brain before he was taken out of the fight by saving the life of a police officer on the scene. However, he had tagged the rest of the group with nano spider tracers allowing him to hear their conversations and where they were heading. Over the course of a couple of hours, Otto set up ways to disarm the rest of the Sinister Six when they broke into Horizon Labs and were quickly defeated.

    Boomerang then manipulated the rest of the team, minus the Living Brain, into recovering the head of Silvio Manfredi from the Owl. Boomerang had been coerced by the Chameleon, who believes that the Maggia leader's head will give him political power in the underworld. The other members of the Sinister Six vote Boomerang out of his leadership position, voting in the female Beetle. Boomerang anonymously tips off Power Man and Iron Fist of the team's whereabouts, and the duo makes short work of the villains. Boomerang frees the team en route to jail, reasserting his leadership role.

    After a series of failures Boomerang teams up with the Owl and forms the Sinister Sixteen in order to retrieve the picture of Doctor Doom that the former had stolen a few days before, and that was now in the hands of the Chameleon. The line-up consisted of the dregs of the underworld and mostly served as canon fodder in order for Boomerang to retrieve the painting.

    All-New Sinister Six

    Whilst teaching at Jean Grey School for Higher Learning, a new Sinister Six was formed. Led by Swarm, it consisted of Killer Shrike, Delilah, Melter, 8-Ball, and Squid. However they were easily defeated by Spider-Man's students.

    Prowler's Sinister Six

    After returning from the dead due to the continuity changes after Secret Wars, Aaron Davis, a.k.a. the Prowler, decides to form a new incarnation of the Sinister Six in order to pull off the biggest heist of his career. Using contacts from his criminal associate Ceres Goldstein, Davis recruits Sandman, Hobgoblin, Bombshell, the Spot, and Electro II, with Davis donning a refurbished version of the Iron Spider armor designed by Tony Stark. Once the group is assembled, Davis informs them that their target is a decommissioned S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, which has been kept in storage ever since S.H.I.E.L.D. was disbanded. The group is soon joined by Bombshell's daughter Lana, who is forced into the team against her will, while Ceres acts as their mission control from her remote base. Davis mentions that he has a buyer lined up for the Helicarrier, but refuses to give further details.

    The new Sinister Six quickly faces challenges, with Sandman, Electro and Spot banding together to cut the others out of the deal once the heist is over. The situation is further exasperated when the Hobgoblin is captured by the Red Hulk (who had been guarding the Helicarrier) and is forced to give up details on the plan. Despite this, the heist proves successful, and the villains are able to make off with the Helicarrier. After kicking Hobgoblin out of the group (his treachery having been discovered by Sandman), the remaining members of the Sinister Six head to Latveria, where they deliver the Helicarrier to its buyer, Lucia Von Bardas. However, the plan comes crashing down when Spider-Man (Aaron's nephew) arrives with his own team, the Champions. Though Davis escapes, the Champions manage to take down and capture the rest of the Sinister Six.

    Sinister War

    No Caption Provided

    Soon after making a deal with Mephisto for his old life back, Doc Ock was manipulated by the demon, Kindred, into uniting a new Sinister Six.

    • Doctor Octopus - leader, being manipulated into finding the others
    • Sandman - rescued from his island
    • Electro - resurrected from ambient electrical energy
    • Kraven - found in the Savage Land and given an offer he couldn't refuse
    • The Lizard - separated from Dr. Connors with an Isotope Genome Accelerator
    • Mysterio - hand picked by Kindred

    To recruit Mysterio, the first five are sent by Kindred to the world premiere of the movie Mysterio has been making under the alias Cage McKnight. Once there, they do battle with the Savage Six still trying to get revenge for their portrayal as idiots in the movie.

    They regroup with other supervillain teams at a graveyard where Spider-Man was hiding. Kindred let them know they were all hellbound and gave them all the same offer, the villain that kills Spider-Man will get a free pass in Hell. Spider-Man tries to get away while they all fight each other for the chance. Eventually, Doc Ock uses a piece of Black Ant's helmet to knock everyone, including his other teammates, out through the ear centipedes Kindred was using to control them.

    Sinister Adaptoid

    Sinister Adaptoid

    After going their separate ways, The Living Brain kidnapped six of Spider-Man's foes:

    • Doctor Octopus
    • Vulture
    • Electro
    • Sandman
    • Mysterio
    • Kraven the Hunter

    He was using them to program a new Super Adaptoid to hunt down and defeat Spider-Man so that the Living Brain could fulfill its original purpose, answer the question "Who is Spider-Man?"

    In a fight with this Sinister Adaptoid in the Living Brain's lab, Spider-Man uncovered his villains in shackles. Against his better judgment, he decided to release them so that they would aid him in defeating both the Super Adaptoid and the Living Brain. When they found the Living Brain's control center, the Sinister Six wanted to kill it.

    Believing it to be alive, Spider-Man defended the Living Brain's life. Seeing Spider-Man put his life on the line for an enemy whose life Spider-Man considered equally valuable satisfied the "Who is Spider-Man?" question. Thus, the Living Brain trapped the Sinister Six and agreed to Spider-Man's demands that it be temporarily taken offline and given to proper authorities.

    The Sinister Six has appeared several times in Spider-Man's different animated incarnations, although never featuring the original line-up.

    Spider-Man: The Animated Series

    Insidious(Sinister) Six
    Insidious(Sinister) Six

    The Six was renamed "The Insidious Six" under the fear that the word sinister was too scary for children. It was first organized by the Kingpin and featured Doctor Octopus, Mysterio, Shocker, Rhino, Chameleon, and Scorpion. After the Six was defeated, Kingpin organized a replacement team consisting of Doctor Octopus, Shocker, Rhino, Chameleon, Scorpion and Vulture (Mysterio having apparently been killed in an explosion earlier in the series).

    The Spectacular Spider-Man

    The Sinister Six is first organized by Doctor Octopus. Octopus manipulates the institutionalized Electro into breaking into the prison and releasing him, in addition to Sandman, Rhino, Vulture, and the Enforcers (including Shocker). After successfully defeating Spider-Man and forcing him to retreat, they bicker over their various, personal vendettas. Soon, they are defeated by Spider-Man's symbiote costume and sent back to prison.

    However, in the series' second season, The Master Planner organizes a second Six, with Mysterio and Kraven The Hunter replacing Shocker (believed to have returned to the Enforcers) and Doctor Octopus (apparently reformed). The Six attack Spider-Man in pairs, leading to a final confrontation between Mysterio and Spider-Man. Mysterio delays Spider-Man long enough for the Master Planner's men to evacuate the other defeated villains.
