Episode 9: Enter... The Sinister Six!

The Roughnecks were in the mansion's entertainment room catching up on the latest episodes of iZombie when the flatscreen tv was taken over by a menacing looking figure with dark goggles and gleaming metal tentacles.



"If you fools ever wish to see this girl alive again," he began, with a picture of Gwen Stacey flashing across the screen, "then you will meet me immediately at Stanley Lieber Park."



Phantasm quickly opened a portal, and the Roughnecks appeared at the park.  They reconnoitered the area, and spotted spider-man on a nearby rooftop, also assessing the scene.



Doc Ock recognized that everyone he wished to lure in had arrived, and he began twisting the life out of Gwen Stacey, strangling her with his adamantium tentacles.



Without much more consideration, everyone simultaneously attacked.  As the fight broke out, different members of the Sinister Six begin materializing from behind an invisibility screen, and the heroes realized Gwen was actually Typhoid Mary.



Electro unleashed an elecrtical storm, significantly damaging half a city block, and in order to subdue him, Phantasm began the process of mind controlling him.





Vulture repteatedly smashed into the scenery, doing more damage to himself than to any of the Roughnecks.  Crucible and Sabanion engaged Sandman, hoping to take out the powerful opponent before he could extinguish them. 



Fenris and Kraven began tearing into each other, picking up where they had not too recently left off.





The battle raged on, and Sandman and Doc Ock began arguing with each other, even as Spider-Man went toe-to-toe with his old nemesis.  Doc Ock, unknown to his teammates, had lured Spider-Man in for his own revenge, compromising the mission they had agreed to, and reminding the others why the Sinister Six had never been able to achieve their nefarious schemes.



As all hell broke loose in the neighborhood, Typhoid Mary began to 'spread her wings,' unleashing multiple effects on her foes, including mind control attacks, telekinetic blasts, and turning away incoming attacks with a personal forcefield.  As she began to unload, Spider-Man and Sabanion switched their focus to her.  When Typhoid tried to mind control Speder-Man, she momentarily froze in place.



"Peter?" she murmured looking blankly at Spider-Man.  Taking advantage of Typhoid's momentary distraction, Sabanion finally got ahold of her with his whirlwind attack and fired her into a nearby office building. 



The streets began to rumble as if an earthquake were shaking manhattan, and with a final, giant shudder, the building collapsed in on itself.



Phantasm searched for life signatures, but found none.



Doc Ock then made a break for it after Electro was possessed and Kraven was subdued.  Sandman cursed Doc Ock and dissolved into the sewers, swearing revenge against his former allies.  Fenris and Spider-Man gave chase, but Doc Ock had gotten away.



They heard the police in the distance and left vulture, kraven, and electro behind for the Avengers after they had arrived on the scene to mop up.
