To hunt Spider-Man, Kraven the Hunter made his way to Governors Island, where he was met by Electro, Vulture, Doctor Octopus, Rhino, and Lizard. Doctor Octopus stated that he lured Kraven to the island in the hopes of teaming up to hunt down Spider-Man. Begrudgingly agreeing to join them,[1] Kraven led the Sinister Six towards the abandoned mansion. Doctor Octopus sent the Vulture to do aerial reconnaissance, who reported no signs of life, and Doctor Octopus split the party to surround the mansion and cut off any avenues of escape. Vulture was sent to monitor the roof.[2]
When Kraven and Electro emerged back outside, Doctor Octopus asked which way their quarry had fled. As Kraven said it was headed to the roof, Doctor Octopus nonchalantly said that the Vulture was more than capable of holding his own. Arriving on the roof, the three villains found the Vulture in the claws of the monstrous Spider-Man, restrained by semi-amorphous tentacles extending from its body and crying for help as it tried to bite off his head. The monster bit out a huge chunk of the Vulture's neck. With a scream of fury, Doctor Octopus launched himself at the monstrous Spider-Man and tackled it off the roof.[3] As the monster rose up into a semi-humanoid form, holding Spider-Man in one "hand" and the unconscious Doctor Octopus in its other, Electro set the grass around the monster ablaze, forcing the monster to relinquish its grasp on Spider-Man. Realizing that Spider-Man had died, Kraven approached the symbiote, offering himself as its new host before amending his statement to include the other members of the Sinister Six, suggesting they form a pack to hunt together. The symbiote accepted and bonds to them, and the Sinister Six were reborn as the Symbiote Six.[4]
Arriving to this reality on a quest to purge itself of weaknesses, the Carnage Symbiote of Earth-616 killed the Venomized Electro, absorbing his powers. It was then confronted by the Symbiote Six, who declared their intent to avenge their fallen comrade.[5] Carnage-616 mocked the five remaining members of the Symbiote Six, saying it found them so pathetic it would not even absorb their powers like it did Electro's. Deciding to test its new Hell-Mark, Carnage summoned the Monsters of Evil and sicced them on the Symbiote Six, easily overpowering them. Carnage then slaughtered Venomized Lizard, Vulture, Kraven and Doctor Octopus, with Venomized Rhino left as the only survivor.[6]
