Marvel has revealed the members forming the Ultimate Sinister Six. Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checchetto’s Ultimate Spider-Man #9 is about to have this version of the evil group strike. 1964’s Amazing Spider-Man Annual #1 saw some of the titular character’s greatest enemies banding together to stop the wallcrawler. This team included iconic villains Doctor Octopus, Vulture, Sandman, Electro, Mysterios, and Kraven the Hunter. For a while, Marvel has teased a new formation of this sinister team in the Ultimate Universe to take on Spider-Man and Green Goblin. Now, Wilson Fisk is ready to send this team on their first mission.
The covers and solicitations for Ultimate Spider-Man issues #8 and #9 reveal this new Ultimate Sinister Six. Alongside Kingpin, Mysterio, Kraven the Hunter, Mister Negative, Mole Man, and a male Black Cat are ready to take on Spidey and his pals. The Ultimate Sinister Six fully come together on Luciano Vecchio’s variant for September’s Ultimate Spider-Man #9. However, the current Ultimate Spider-Man arc is winding down with this week’s issue #6. While next month’s Ultimate Spider-Man #7 kicks off the arc leading to the face-off with the Ultimate Sinister Six.
Solicitations for the seventh issue reveal the path to this Ultimate Sinister Six showdown. It states that after a showdown with Kingpin, Spider-Man, and Green Goblin deal with some self-reflection. The two heroes are not as prepared as they believed to change the world. So, Harry and Peter get to work as Ben and Jonah seek out “the truth”.
