Marvel has revealed the members forming the Ultimate Sinister Six. Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checchettoโs Ultimate Spider-Man #9 is about to have this version of the evil group strike. 1964โs Amazing Spider-Man Annual #1 saw some of the titular characterโs greatest enemies banding together to stop the wallcrawler. This team included iconic villains Doctor Octopus, Vulture, Sandman, Electro, Mysterios, and Kraven the Hunter. For a while, Marvel has teased a new formation of this sinister team in the Ultimate Universe to take on Spider-Man and Green Goblin. Now, Wilson Fisk is ready to send this team on their first mission.
The covers and solicitations for Ultimate Spider-Man issues #8 and #9 reveal this new Ultimate Sinister Six. Alongside Kingpin, Mysterio, Kraven the Hunter, Mister Negative, Mole Man, and a male Black Cat are ready to take on Spidey and his pals.

However, the current Ultimate Spider-Man arc is winding down with this weekโs issue #6. While next monthโs Ultimate Spider-Man #7 kicks off the arc leading to the face-off with the Ultimate Sinister Six.
