Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is on the horizon, and the fan’s anticipation is at an all-time high. The sequel to the Miles Morales game is something gamers have been waiting for, for a while. Spider-Man is known for his rogue gallery. And Insomniac’s Spiderman featured an Iteration of the Sinister Six, comprising Vulture, Electro, Rhino, Scorpion, Mr Negative, and Dock Ock. While the web slinger cleaned up NYC, turns out there’s still trouble. And no, we’re not talking about Venom.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales saw the return of Rhino. If that’s an indication of things to come, more villains could return. And according to one source on Twitter, now known as X, another member of the Sinister Six could return. And if it pans out, it will certainly hit close to home for Peter Parker.
