The Sinister Six Appreciation thread

I hate that Sandman became a villain again.

I’d rather have them use Vulture as the leader (especially since Slott took his “man with nothing left to lose” characterization and gave it to Ock to make his stories work)

Plus, if we’re emulating the Secret Six, Adrian fits the “underpowered but still very dangerous” mold pretty well.


If they do have a Sand person, I'd kind of like to see Quicksand come back.

I placed Sandman on the team because I see him as the Captain Cold of the team, wanting to get the job done without fuss, put his crew from crossing the line even if it means having to beat the discipline into them,
Still holds to his "honor among thieves". So While not a full villain I consider him more gray but still willing to commit crimes. Although I do miss having Vulture so I'll add him.

I like how the Sinister Six and the Savage Six stories are going at the same time. I wonder if the two groups could ever work together in the future.

Has Sandman ever murdured anyone in the Marvel 616 Universe?
Would the Sinister Six choose to move onto other super heroes?

In the recent story by Van Lente but by his multiple versions of his subconscious.

My 2nd question was would the Sinister Six move on to other super heroes if they killed Spider Man?
Or would they be arguing about who killed him.

If they did kill him, they probably would fight another super hero if that hero interfered with their plan.

Probably not, both leaders seem to enamored with themselves that joining forces would make them think there weak.

Add in neither leader would want to become a leader, or share power with the other.

So I've FINALLY, read the last two issues of Ends Of the Earth. Didn't bother reading the threads on the issues figured the majority of it would be filled with a Gwen vs MJ battle :P. I will give my full thoughts when I read it all in one sitting. Overall I liked the ending of the story it was to be expected. I surprised at what Rhino's reward would be. I would have assumed it involved a suicide mission. Didn't realize just how far Rhino has gone. I was saddened by Sable's lost though she was one my favorite allies of Spider-man's cast. Hope Prowler doesn't get the ax. As to Doc Ock, not surprised Spidey saved him best way to defeat an enemy is by saving them.
):-) Overall I really liked this arc. I would place this Sinister 6 arc second to Return of the Sinister Six.

I've always had a soft spot for the Sinister Syndicate. I was introduced to them first, then the Micheline/Larsen Sinister Six story which wasn't great, followed by the purely Erik Larsen one which was worse, the 90's animated series featured them a few times and I really wasn't a fan of that series.

Plus I kinda like The Beetle and Speed Demon for some reason and I liked the rivalry between Sandman and Hydro Man, so I really enjoyed ASM #280 & 281. Despite Tom DeFalco injuring Spider-Man's arm yet again. I keep saying I'm going to count how many times he's written that.

After reading all of Sinister Six stories,i still believe that Return of the Sinister Six was the best story the group had.It had it all.A supporting member died(Nathan Lubensky),the first comeback after 26 years and Doc Ock having a master plan that would influence the whole world.Plus,Dr Octopus in business suit.By far,his best modern look till now.

Agreed. Nothing beats a classic that and Mysterio still had his cape. Though I do give Ends of the Earth a plus for showing the different interaction betwen the different members like Mysterio and Chameleon and Sandman and Rhino. Return was more of a Master Planner sequel when you think about it.

I was watching Spectacular Spider-Man lately and felt compelled to put this up.
Has Ultimate Spider-Man series done a Sinister Six ep. yet?
So far the introductions to Spidey's classic rogues redesigns and origins have
been unimpressive in that show. Kid Sandman, a Lizard that looks like Killer Kroc,
Doc Ock looking like a kid still living in his mother's basement, and Green Goblin never was a fan of him looking
like a Hulk.
