They're not just sinister, they're insidious! The six supervillains were sprung from prison by The Kingpin, and formed into a group he called The Insidious Six, as he required their services to finally rid the city of Spider-Man. Kidnapping May Parker, the Six hoped to get Parker to lead Spider-Man into a trap. After a battle with a powerless Spider-Man, they unmasked him and discovered Peter under the mask! Believing Peter to be a fake, they again used him in hopes of luring Spider-Man.

Later, The Kingpin devised a new plan for world domination, he once again called on the Six, replacing the late Mysterio with The Vulture. After helping Fisk locate the six keys required for a devastating weapon, the Six again split ... for good!
