Villain Overview

Roxxon. We're here for you.
~ Krieger's tagline for Roxxon.
Oh, hey, battle royale. My favorite. Uh, just wanted to chime in to let you know, so you don't worry: we're going to be just fine if this building blows. Hell, we'll be fine if all of Harlem blows. I mean do you have any idea what kind of insurance we've got? Oh, and the optics of being the victims of a terrorist attack? Forget Roxxon Plaza. Coming soon: Roxxon City. Alright, later kids.
~ Krieger to Spider-Man and the Tinkerer on his intention to have Harlem destroyed.
Simon: ... c'mon, those are cleary deep fakes! They are DEEP FAKES! You understand me? Do you have any idea who I am? I will own you! I will-
Police Officer: Yeah, yeah. We know who you are.
Simon: [top head being hit by a car ceiling] OW! I will OWN you! Do you hear me!? [face being hit by a car door's window when police closing their car's door] GAH!
~ Krieger's breakdown as he is being taken into custody after his crimes were exposed by the Prowler, four weeks after the Tinkerer's death.

Simon Krieger is the overarching antagonist of the 2020 superhero video game Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, a spin-off of Insomniac's Marvel's Spider-Man series.

He is the head of research and development at Roxxon, an energy corporation with a presence throughout New York City. Though Krieger at first appears as an affable and energetic individual, he reveals himself to be a greedy and callous businessman who's seeking profit at the cost of the community in Harlem. He is Insomniac Games' counterpart of Simon Krieger from Earth-616 universe, an enemy of Iron Man.

He was voiced and mo-capped by Troy Baker, who also voiced Joel Miller in The Last of Us, Higgs in Death Standing, Magni in God of War (2018), Jason Todd in Batman: Arkham Knight, Erron Black in the Mortal Kombat series, Pagan Min in Far Cry 4, Delsin Rowe in inFamous: Second Son and the Joker in Batman: Arkham Origins and Batman: Assault on Arkham.

Biography[]

Backstory[]

Simon Krieger was in charge of Roxxon's Nuform clean energy project, which was meant to provide a clean energy source that could power a city for hundreds of years. However, Nuform was revealed to be harmful, causing life-threatening symptoms such as bone marrow decay. Most members in the development team for Nuform became sick from exposure, including Rick Mason, the actual creator of the energy. When Rick discovered that the energy had dangerous side effects, Simon dismissed his warnings and pushed forward for Nuform's implementation.

Rick would team up with his sister Phin in an attempt to sabotage the Nuform Reactor and stop the production of the energy source. However, Simon was already aware of their presence when they tried to execute their plan and caused Rick's death by trapping him inside the sabotaged reactor, which exploded soon after. Phin escaped and vowed to avenge her brother and stop Roxxon at all costs.

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales[]

Simon and his team arrive at the energy plant where the two Spider-Men fought Rhino, and the younger Spider-Man (Miles Morales) wins against the supervillain. As his team apprehends Rhino, Simon congratulates the duo for defeating him and introduces himself. He thanks Miles specifically for wrapping things up by himself, stating that the kid has great potential.

Despite this, Krieger later blames Miles for the destruction of the bridge and orders his security to either execute or apprehend him. During the course of the game, Krieger then makes a deal with the Prowler to gain information on Spider-Man and the Tinkerer, and doesn't know that the Prowler is Miles' uncle, Aaron. When Rhino successfully captures them, Krieger attempts to unmask Miles, but is unsuccessful as he is shocked by his Venom powers, protecting Miles' identity but much to Krieger's amazement. Krieger then orders his men to torture both Miles and Phin to get information out of them and speaks to Prowler, who is angered that he went back on their deal. As Prowler threatens to expose Krieger's crimes, he tauntly reminds Prowler if he exposes him he'll be in jail too for his past crimes, and that Prowler is too much of a coward to let that happen.

Krieger later appears when Spider-Man and the Tinkerer are fighting atop Roxxon tower, speaking to the two and stating that the destruction of the plaza would only gain Roxxon sympathy as the victims of a terrorist attack, as well as a massive insurance payout. He also declares that in the event that Harlam is destroyed, Roxxon will be able to rebuild the entire district in their image, which he christens "Roxxon City". The Tinkerer and Spider-Man battle until the two stop the reactor, with Phin sacrificing herself to allow Miles to let the energy out into the sky. After the incident, Aaron turned himself to the police and agreed to testify against Kreiger in exchange for a reduced sentence, resulting in Krieger's arrest. As he was taken away, he was protesting his situation and said the cops were making a mistake, but his threats were ignored as he was placed into a police car.

According to Miles' best friend Ganke Lee, Roxxon released all of Krieger's data and documents, which revealed his crimes and corruption and will most likely spend a lifetime in prison.

Personality[]

No one is going to care about some sick people uptown or a dead engineer. You're just the cost of doing business.
~ Krieger showing his true colors before murdering Rick Mason.

Simon Krieger has a charming and affable demeanor, almost always displaying a great deal of poise. However, behind his public persona is a ruthless and cunning sociopath obsessed with power and money. Krieger is shown to be rather obnoxious, arrogant, and narcissistic. He is incredibly insulting to anyone whom he feels is beneath him and taunts people whenever he feels he has the upper hand.

He's also shown to have a quirky and nerdy part to his personality as well, such as being impressed and excited by Miles' electrical powers, though he does say that he is excited by the monetary gains he would achieve by exploiting Miles' power. He's also shown to be smarter than he looks, as he had the foresight to make adjustments to the Nuform reactor so that if Phin tried to destroy it, it would level much of Harlem. He also planned ahead as to what would happen if his reactor destroyed Roxxon Plaza along with Harlem, intending to frame Spider-Man and Tinkerer’s fight as a terrorist attack in order to gain back the public’s support and rebuild Roxxon to be even stronger.

When defeated, he had a breakdown as he protested that he was being set up and called the accusations false; even when the police officers refused to accept this, Krieger angrily threatens the cops that he would have their jobs.
