SPIDER-MAN: Learn More About The Game's Villains With These New Character Bios And Images
With Spider-Man on the horizon, Sony has released a new batch of character images and bios for the game which reveal more about characters like Kingpin, Mister Negative, Electro, and more. Take a look...
There are less than three weeks to go until Spider-Man is released on the PlayStation 4 and as hype for the game continues to build, Sony has released some official character images and bios which shed further light on what we should expect when the wall-crawler battles some of his greatest foes.
There are, however, some obvious omissions here including the mysterious leader of the Sinister Six, a character many believe will be Doctor Octopus (the theories in that respect are endless, though).
So, as Sony puts it, below you'll find bios featuring everyone, "From a crime boss wielding negative energy, to a high-flying criminal, to a future tech thief" and "meet the many villains Spider-Man must face to save Marvel’s New York City." To do so, simply click on the "View List" button below.
Mister Negative
Mister Negative is a man divided. To the citizens of New York City he is Martin Li, respected businessman, philanthropist, and founder of the acclaimed F.E.A.S.T. shelters. But to the underworld he is known as Mister negative, an upstart crime boss in command of the fearsome Inner Demons and wielder of a dark energy that he uses to destroy anything or anyone standing in his way. Obsessed with exacting revenge against a high-ranking New York City official whom he believes is responsible for his corruptive abilities, Mister Negative is a driving force behind a violent master plan that may rot the Big Apple to its core.
Kingpin
Wilson Fisk, who publicly acts as a philanthropist and legitimate businessman, secretly controls New York City’s organized crime families as the feared Kingpin. Spider-Man has spent years trying to incriminate him and finally does so – only to quickly learn that maybe Fisk was right when he said, “I’m the one who brought order to this city!” Spider-Man soon finds himself in the bizarre position of saving Fisk’s men to unravel a larger mystery of a new citywide menace.
Electro
With the ability to harness and wield electricity, Max Dillon has a larger mission in mind: to evolve his final form by transforming himself into pure, living energy. Enlisting the help of a sinister mastermind to help him in his twisted quest, Electro has agreed to help dismantle one of the most powerful men in New York City.
Rhino
Granted superhuman strength by artificially crafted skin, Aleksei Sytsevich wants to shed the protective coverings and thuggish reputation as the Rhino, and he’s found a sinister someone who can help him do it. Of course, Rhino will need to pay this mastermind back once he’s been sprung from The Raft to wreak havoc on a powerful New York City magnate.
Scorpion
While he’s been safely behind bars at The Raft for the last few years, the maniacal Mac Gargan has been freed to renew his heated rivalry with Spider-Man. In exchange for the promise of a cleaned criminal record, the Scorpion is determined to strike down Spider-Man once and for all with his vicious venomous stinger.
Vulture
Vulture has vexed Spider-Man with his lethal flight suit since Peter Parker first learned to channel his web-slinging abilities. Now Adrian Toomes suffers from spinal cancer due to the power produced from his winged rig. A particularly sinister villain has devised a plan to save Adrian’s life and free him from The Raft prison… in exchange for helping fix a vendetta against a city icon.
Shocker
What’s the best way to rob a bank? Herman Schultz prefers to literally shock and awe, using a high-tech suit with gauntlets that blast intense vibrational waves to crush vaults and elude the police. Shocker has been a long-time Spider-Man nemesis, but something more sinister has motivated Schultz this time around.
Inner Demons
Inner demons are mysterious enemies easily identified by their elaborate Chinese masks and more formal black-and-white attire. They operate under direction from Martin Li, aka Mister Negative. Some Inner Demons wield weapons infused with “negative energy” that can cause Spider-Man great damage. On Occasion, Mister Negative will corrupt an Inner Demon or two through an extended direct touch, giving himself even greater power.
