Spider-Man PS4: 7 Theories On THAT Mystery Character
5. Doctor Octopus
Marvel Comics
Although the Green Goblin is most often considered Spidey's arch enemy, others have come close. Doctor Octopus, for instance, was the man who actually invented the Sinister Six. If this is the first time they're assembling, then it would make sense to have him along for the ride.
Doc Ock's inclusion may or may not have already been spoiled by a voice actor for the title, but still, for the time being we don't know if he's actually even in the game. If he is, then it makes sense for him to be the one leading the six, as Otto Octavius is a familiar face to both fans of Spider-Man and to Peter Parker more importantly.
Fans have also claimed that you can hear his tentacles retracting during the footage, but still, if the good doctor is to lead this particular group of villains, there are likely to be few complaints. He's one of Spidey's best villains, and with Spider-Man 2 having obviously spotlighted the character before, he's due a comeback in gaming form.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
