Sinister Six

The Sinister Six was a group of Spider-man's enemies that joined together to defeat their common foe. The original Six was formed and lead by Doctor Octopus, and also consisted of Electro, Sandman, Vulture, Mysterio, and Kraven the Hunter.

Later, after Kraven's death, Hobgoblin joined the group. The team has been added to a few times, and has been known as the Sinister Seven or the Sinister Twelve, depending on how many members.

The Sinister Seven was formed by Mysterio to defend against Kaine, Peter Parker's homicidal clone, who was killing several of Spider-Man's foes. This group consisted of Mysterio, Electro, Vulture, Shocker, Beetle, Hobgoblin, and Scorpia.

During the aftermath of the Marvel Civil War, Doc Ock gathered a short-lived Sinister Six with himself, Vulture, Shocker, the Lizard, Trapster, and the Grim Reaper.

The current version of the Six is made up of Doc Ock, Mysterio, Electro, Sandman, Rhino, and Chameleon.

The group appeared in Spider-man: The Animated Series, but were called the Insidious Six. The members were Doc Ock, Mysterio, Rhino, Chameleon, Scorpion, and Shocker. The Vulture joined later after Mysterio's death.

The Sinister Six were also featured in The Spectacular Spider-man and were made up of Doc Ock, Electro, Sandman, Vulture, Rhino, and Shocker. The second version of the Six included Mysterio and Kraven to replace Doc Ock and Shocker.thumb|400px|right|The Sinister Six battle Spider-man from The Spectacular Spider-man TV series
