Spider-Man PS4: 10 Comic Storylines Insomniac Must Use

4. The Sinister Six! The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #1

Spider-Man Sinister Six First Appearance
Marvel Comics

The Sinister Six are the perfect antagonists to include in a game, not just because they provide a logical if not convenient explanation for why so many villains are popping up with the unabashed frequency of a Goomba, but also because the lineup is almost always comprised of some spectacular enemies.

You've got Doc Ock, you've got Kraven, you've got Vulture, and then there's Electro, Mysterio, and Sandman - and that's just the first roster. The story of their first appearance is fairly self-explanatory too: villains get sick of Spider-Man, decide to team up to take him down. Simple, yes?

Obviously a later incarnation of the team would be more appropriate for this more seasoned Spider-Man, but it's always a good idea to pay attention to the classics before moving ahead with something new.

Content Producer/Presenter

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.
