Sinister Seven

The Sinister Seven is a supervillain team that Doctor Octopus founded, that is typically composed of seven of Spider-Man's formidable foes to destroy Spider-Man once and for all.

History[]

In the season premiere "Hydra Attacks ", Spider-Man, Iron Spider, and Agent Venom pursue Doctor Octopus, and defeat and detain him. However, this is actually part of Ock's plan, as he has a miniture Octobot break into Swarm's cell, and bonds to his nanites, causing him to explode, sending the Octobot nanites all over the Tri-Carrier, transforming it into Hyrda Island. Doctor Octopus is reconfigured into a new life-support armor (resembling his Ends of the Earth design) and reveals that he formed an alliance with Arnim Zola and HYDRA,and has created an army of Goblin Soldiers (Goblin-mutated versions of his Spider-Soldiers). Doc Ock then releases the supervillains aboard the Tri-Carrier (Batroc the Leaper, Boomerang and Kraven the Hunter among them). He informs them he intends to reform the Sinister Six, and offers that the first one to capture Spider-Man will be the first to join. Kraven takes up this offer, and he pursues Spider-Man and his aggressive partner Scarlet Spider. Ock also intends to transform Norman Osborn back into the Green Goblin to lead his Goblin Army, but after Osborn reveals he has inoculated himself with a cure that makes him immune to the serum, he attempts to inject Harry Osborn instead. However, Spider-Man and Scarlet Spider's timely interference saves the Osborns. After the spider-related heroes manage to send Zola and Hydra Island flying into space, Doc Ock escapes and sets out to find the former members of the team to reinstate it.

Spider-Man and his Web-Warriors have been systematically eliminating various supervillains to thin out Ock's number of Sinister Six candidates.

Doctor Octopus has assembled his Sinister Six with Kraven the Hunter, Ultimate Green Goblin, Rhino, Hydro-Man, and Electro where they attack the Triskelion. After most of the Sinister Six was defeated by the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, Doctor Octopus revealed to Spider-Man that he actually formed the Sinister Seven when his spy on the inside is revealed to be Scarlet Spider (not Rhino) who defeats and unmasks Spider-Man.
