A few nights later, the leader of the new sinister team led Electro, Kraven, Mysterio, and the Sandman to the bridge to Ryker's Island.
"Where are we going, Octavius?" the Sandman asked.
"Be patient and trust me, Sandman. You were smart to join us in our battle against that menace, Spider-Man."
"My daughter is dead," the Sandman said. "I have nothing to lose."
"That's great to hear, and you shall prove your worth right now. Our team is not yet complete."
Electro was wearing a green suit that had yellow bottom-wear, gloves, lightning bolt logos on the legs and chest, and a star-shaped mask.
"This suit seems to be working like you said, Doc."
"With all the cars on this bridge, it could take a while to get to our destination. What do you say we break them?"
"I'm in!" Mysterio said as he punched the windshield of a car.
"I'm not sure about this," Electro said.
"Feel the power for once!" Kraven said as he ran on top of cars. "You will love it!"
"Listen to him," the leader said, making his mechanical tentacles step on cars. Many people were screaming.
"Okay," Electro said before directing lightning bolts from his hands to a couple of cars. "Wow! That felt pretty good."
The Sandman went into his sand form and blew himself under the cars.
Unbeknownst to these villains, a wall-crawler was watching from the rooftop of a building near the bridge. This was Mac Gargan, who was now Scorpion Venom. He was Scorpion before, but that was before he bonded with a symbiote sample that J. Jonah Jameson had acquired. Ever since the curing of John Jameson, the death of Rhino, and the disappearances of Kraven and Morbius, Scorpion had been lurking in the shadows of the city, mugging anyone dumb enough to walk into an alley. Now, he knew where Kraven, who had tried killing him, was heading.
"What to do with the hunter?" he wondered aloud.
Scorpion Venom climbed swiftly down the walls of the building. He ran to the bridge and climbed under it, crawling upside-down towards Ryker's Island.
When the five villains making their way past the cars reached the prison, the Sandman created a whirlwind of sand that blinded the guards. Electro made his way to a powerbox and made it short-circuit, turning off all of the lights and anything else powered by electricity in the prison. All it took was mechanical tentacles to break open the door. Police officers from the inside arrived with their guns.
"Freeze!"
Mysterio's nozzles released lethal gas that killed the officers within a minute.
"It looks like your bodies are freezing on the floor," Mysterio said.
"Really?" Electro said. "You really needed to say that?"
Kraven followed the leader to the prison cells. Electro, Mysterio, and the Sandman followed. Scorpion Venom arrived and followed stealthily. Kraven arrived at the cell block that contained Adrian Toomes, the Vulture. The guards got into position. Kraven's jumps kept him from getting hit by bullets. He twisted a couple of arms and a few necks. Toomes stared shockingly at the dead bodies.
"Kraven the Hunter?"
"You're lucky that I have orders to not kill you, Vulture. He's all yours, Otto."
Toomes was surprised by the mechanical tentacles that broke off the bars of his cell.
"Doctor Octavius? I thought you were dead?"
"I'm surprised you're not. We meet at last, Adrian. You were full of promise, but Spider-Man got in your way. What do you say we teach him a lesson?"
At that point in the exchange, he revealed a bag and pulled out the device it contained. It was Toomes' harness.
"I will fly again!" Toomes said. "Especially if it means besting Spider-Man!"
"Now I know why the caged bird sings," Mysterio said.
"We about done here, Doc?" the Sandman said.
"Yes. Now, we are complete. We shall be called, the Sinister Six."
Meanwhile, Scorpion Venom had found a cell block full of murderous psychopaths.
"Which one of you is worthy of the gift?"
Many of the prisoners in that cell block stepped away from the bars. They were terrified by the sight of Gargan's current form. Only one stood against the bars.
"Me!"
"What is your name?"
"Cletus Kasady."
"And what is it that you like to do, Cletus?"
"They say I killed eleven people, but it's not true."
"You were framed for a crime."
"No! I'm saying that I killed twenty-three people! I love to kill. And I like to cut myself, see?"
Cletus held out his right hand through the bars. It had a knife cut. Scorpion Venom shook the hand. The symbiote produced an offspring in the bloodstream of Cletus' hand. Soon, his whole body was black and red. Scorpion Venom broke the bars with his tail.
"There is another man who loves to kill in the cell block over there. His name is Kraven, and he wears fur. You should see if you can kill him."
"Carnage!"
Carnage ran to the cell block that the Sinister Six were in and ran towards Kraven. Electro shot out a spark, and a bit of the symbiote jumped off of Cletus' body for a moment.
"That thing is dangerous!" the Sandman said.
"I'll kill it," Electro said, shocking it again and causing the same effect.
The new symbiote warned Cletus that it was too dangerous to attack at the moment. Carnage ran out from the prison.
"Let's kill that thing, Doctor!" Kraven said.
"Don't worry about it. Let's get back to headquarters."
Scorpion Venom watched them exit the prison. He followed them and remained unseen in the shadows.
