Fair. But I just thought of something else. Didn't Norman Osborn return in #4... and we know he's gonna do something huge at some point... could it be this storyline? Maybe HE's the mastermind.

And also I didn't say the mastermind were the Osborn kids. I just said it could be them on the sideline instead of the mastermind because they are thrown in the event. Possibly. They would be if Norman was the mastermind. Remember, he had bandages on so he can look like anyone. He was the Iron Patriot once upon a time, so he could be the red one.

The more I type about this the more I believe it. Though you might be right, and this might be a Jackal upgrade, I am rooting for the possibility of Mephisto or Norman.
