In the final film of phase 1 of my Spider-Man Cinematic Universe, five villains, led by Dr. Octopus, want revenge on Norman Osborn for various reasons. Whether it be for having arms bonded onto their back permanently during an Oscorp experiment, falling into an Oscorp super-collider and being merged with sand, getting a brain tumor from a piece of Oscorp tech, falling into a tank of Oscorp’s experimental electric eels, or being fired from Oscorp only to have his flight suit invention stolen without giving him credit, all five want vengeance on Norman Osborn and his company. Unfortunately for them, Spider-Man won’t let them kill Norman, so the team breaks someone out of prison who has fought Spider-Man before in hopes that they will be able to get past him: The Scorpion.
