The Sinister Six (of Earth-616) are a group comprised of villains who have each attempted to kill Spider-Man on numerous occasions who have united in order to exact vengeance on their mutual foe.

In media

Television

• In the 1994 animated series, the Sinister Six was called the Insidious Six. Fox Kids censors apparently felt that the word Sinister sounded too menacing for a children's program. The Insidious Six was formed in the beginning of Season 2 as a two-part episode premiere and it was created by the Kingpin to settle off his debt with his enemy, Silvermane, and consisted of Doctor Octopus, Mysterio, Chameleon, Rhino, Scorpion, and Shocker to kill Spider-Man.

• The Sinister Six later appeared in the 2008 animated series, The Spectacular Spider-Man , which consisted originally of Doctor Octopus, Sandman, Shocker, Vulture, Rhino, and Electro.
• In Ultimate Spider-Man , The Sinister Six first appeared in the episode Sinister Six. It's members conists of Doctor Octopus , Electro , Lizard, Beetle, Kraven the Hunter, and The Rhino. They appeared again in Return of the Sinister Six, only this time with Scorpion replacing Beetle.

• In Spider-Man 2: The Sinister Six, the Sinister Six consisted of Doctor Octopus, Mysterio, Sandman, Vulture, Scorpia, and Kraven the Hunter.
• In the Sega CD version of The Amazing Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin, the members of the second line-up all appear as bosses.
