Title is self-explanatory.
There have been many different iterations of the Sinister Six group of supervillains over the years, so my question to all of you is, who would you put on your personal Sinister roster if you knew the group was indeed going to make an appearance in a future ASM sequel?
First off, I think it's difficult to balance a bunch of heavyweight/mastermind-type supervillains in one film. The way I would approach the Six would be very similar to the Brotherhood in the X-Men films, in which Magneto was the true leader of the group, and the rest of the mutants were essentially henchmen. However, they should all pose some sort of major physical threat to Spidey, so I wouldn't use a guy like, say, Chameleon. I'd also try to avoid rehashing villains who previously appeared in the Raimi fims, although the leader would pretty much have to be either Doc Ock or the Green Goblin, so I wouldn't be able to abide by that rule entirely. Also, I don't think it would make much sense to include Kraven as it seems like, if anything, he would be working to hunt down half the members of the group.
That said, here's my proposed roster:
1. Doctor Octopus/Green Goblin - Although it's inevitable that Norman Osborn will become the Goblin at some point in the new series, I'd prefer they stick to the classic comics and keep Doc Ock as the leader of the group. The Green Goblin can appear sometime down the road.
2. Rhino - Spidey needs to be pit against a big, stupid, brutish force a la the Hulk, and who better than the Rhino? Think Sabretooth or Juggernaut in the X-Men films.
3. Vulture - The Vulture always came across as a pretty cheesy villain. However, I wonder if it wouldn't make the character much more interesting by having him also be the result of a cross-species experiment gone wrong, rather than just a guy in a green flight suit. His old age could make for a fun dynamic with the other members of the group, and, in the absence of Green Goblin, Vulture could provide for some thrilling aerial combat sequences with Spider-Man.
4. Electro - Electro is a great villain, however, I'm not convinced he could carry a film as a headlining villain. However, as a founding member of the Six, I feel it's only appropriate that he be included.
5. Scorpion - I'd follow the storyline from the ASM video game and have Scorpion be the product of one of Otto Octavius' cross-species experiments, a half-scorpion, half-human monster with pincers for hands and the ability to project the world's most toxic venom from his tail.
6. Mysterio - Mysterio is one of those characters who, much like Chameleon, is not much of a physical threat in hand to hand combat with Spider-Man, but when you team him up with a bunch of other powerful characters, his skill set becomes invaluable. I imagine his role would be comparable to Mystique's in the original X-Men trilogy; a character whose abilities to create illusions and alter environments can really mess with our hero's head.
Who would you include?
