Norman Osborn[src]

History

Norman Osborn's Six, consisting of the Sandman, Doctor Octopus, Kraven the Hunter, Electro, and Green Goblin (who tried to recruit Spider-Man through blackmail), went up against Nick Fury and the Ultimates after the villains escaped the S.H.I.E.L.D. prison they were held in after each had been defeated by Spider-Man and arrested by S.H.I.E.L.D. for illegally altering their genetic codes. Spider-Man temporarily fought alongside the Green Goblin, believing he had kidnapped Parker's Aunt May. When Captain America informed Spider-Man that she was safe in S.H.I.E.L.D custody, Spider-Man turned and helped defeat the Ultimate Six.[1]

Later, the team was re-formed with the Vulture replacing Spider-Man. Osborn formed this version of the group to kill Spider-Man, and they succeeded, but not before losing Doc Ock (due to Osborn killing him earlier).[2]

Sandman, Kraven the Hunter, Vulture, and Electro are still incarcerated while Doctor Octopus is dead and Green Goblin escaped from S.H.I.E.L.D custody.[3]

Notes

  • The team was never called "Ultimate Six" in-universe, but instead as "Norman Osborn's Six".

Trivia

  • Despite being referred to as the Ultimate Six, only five supervillains were originally on the team; Spider-Man was counted as the sixth member due to Norman Osborn's plans to recruit him via blackmail. It was later when Vulture filled the sixth member role, completing the team.
