Amazing Villains
Eddie Brock/Anti-Venom
Voiced By: Steve Blum
I didn't need a reason... Other than to make it easier to kill you.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: Due to mind control chips he got from Walker Sloane.
- Hero Killer: Due to Walker Sloan's machinations, Anti-Venom kills Spider-Man, resulting in a much darker 2099 completely ruled by Alchemax. Even after Miguel intervenes, he is only barely able to save Peter.
- Hulking Out: At first, Anti-Venom is more faithful to his comic book counterpart, being slim and sane. Once Sloan activates all the mind-control chips, Anti-Venom becomes much more bestial and muscular.
- Man of Kryptonite: Anti-Venom's symbiote is able to "cure" a person of radiation, which is a key reason of why he is able to kill the Amazing Spider-Man. However, the same can't be said for Spider-Man 2099, whose powers aren't radiation-based.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: This is the first thing he does after being released from his mind control.Anti-Venom: You...did it to me... Planted that chip in me... Controlled me...
Sloan: I didn't control you, Brock.I freed you. We both know you wanted Spider-Man dead. You should be thanking me!
Anti-Venom: Let me show you just how GRATEFUL I AM!!!
Sloan: No! Keep back!
Octavius: One side, you fool, before...
(Anti-Venom cuts him off by lunging at them, shoving them into the gateway) - Spontaneous Weapon Creation: In his boss fights, he's capable of generating weapons from his symbiote to attack, including blades and shields.
Otto Octavius
Voiced By: Dave B. Mitchell
What the hell! The place is crawling with Spider-Men!
- Adaptational Nice Guy: While he's an ally to Sloan, thanks to Sloan's alterations, this Octavius isn't an outright supervillain.
- Combat Tentacles: Doctor Octopus is an aversion, generally just being an extra in the story. Atrocity on the other hand.
Atrocity
Voiced By: Fred Tatasciore
- Big Bad Ensemble: With the CEO, it's a boss standing in the way of the Spider duo saving the world. In particular, he serves as the Final Boss for Amazing Spider-Man's side of the story.
- Canon Foreigner: Has not appeared in the original Marvel comics continuity.
- Combat Tentacles: Atrocity- being a combination of Doc Ock and Anti-Venom- has a lot of tentacles with the added benefit of being able to appear anywhere through portals.
- Eldritch Abomination: A hellish towering combination of Anti-Venom, Sloane, and Doc Ock would definitely look like an atrocity. No wonder Amazing Spidey gave it that name.
- Fusion Dance: A result of Anti-Venom, Doc Ock, and Walker Sloan going through the latter's gateway at the same time.
- Light Is Not Good: He's entirely white and is not an ally.
- Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: In addition to combining the features of Sloan, Doc Ock, and Anti-Venom, he has the ability to send his tentacles through miniature portals. Oh, and he can teleport!
- Proactive Boss: He often harasses both Spider-Men throughout the game, most of the time with his interloping tentacles.
- Ret-Gone: He gets erased from existence after being defeated by Spider-Man.
- The Usual Adversaries: Atrocity's tentacles keep annoying both Spider-Men.
2099 Villains
Walker Sloan
Voiced By: Val Kilmer
- Big Bad Wannabe: He starts off the game by successfully making a time leap to the past and jumpstarting Alchemax years before it was originally created and took advantage of his future knowledge of Spider-Man and his rouges gallery by hiring Otto Octavius and Peter Parker into his company and incarcerated many of Spider-Man's enemies and mind controlling them like with Anti-Venom. Then Miguel defeats Anti-Venom and took off all the control chips, causing him to attack Sloan and Doc Ock and send all three of them into the time vortex...
- Canon Foreigner: He, along with others, is an original character in this game only.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: As Miguel puts it in the prologue, he's the type who "thinks beyond Alchemax and aiming towards who-knows-what?" and is exactly the corporate monster he swore to rein in. The fact that he successfully went back in time after the prologue of the game and launched Alchemax years before it was originally founded while shaping it in his own image is just the start.
- Non-Action Big Bad: He doesn't do any physical fighting himself besides running Alchemax in the past...until he undergoes a Fusion Dance with Anti-Venom and Doc Ock and becomes Atrocity.
- Ret-Gone: His ultimate fate, due to Atrocity being erased from existence after being defeated by Spider-Man.
Black Cat 2099
Voiced By: Katee Sackhoff
My, my, my. A blast from the past. Such an active little spider brings back so many memories. You aren't supposed to be here, you know.
- Amazon Brigade: She leads a group of clones to attack Amazing Spider-Man.
- Canon Foreigner: This version of Black Cat does not appear in the comics.
- Ms. Fanservice: A skin-tight black suit that reveals her cleavage and belly? Nice.
- Really 700 Years Old: Black Cat 2099 was given an anti-aging drug, resulting in her looking younger than she really is.
- Stripperiffic: Her skin-clad outfit, even goes a cleavage opening right down to her belly button.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: The 2099 Black Cat, according to her unlocked bio, was programmed with a crippling case of agoraphobia (fear of wide open spaces) to keep her from ever escaping Alchemax.
Alchemax CEO/Peter Parker
Voiced By: Josh Keaton
I'm the CEO of Alchemax. The real question is who are you, old friend?
Click here to see his real identity.
- Ambiguous Situation: In the prologue, Sloan mentions the CEO being all about power and refuses to let him have that degree of power through time traveling. This eerily describes the future version of Peter Parker during The Reveal, but whether that version of Peter existed in 2099 before Sloan's time travel is never addressed, and even Miguel (whose memories of the pre-Sloan 2099 timeline remains intact) was deeply surprised by the CEO's true identity.
- Became Their Own Antithesis: Peter Parker went from a Working-Class Hero whose whole deal was to protect others with his power to the CEO of a company working to undo his mistakes for selfish reasons, which will likely destroy the universe.
- Big Bad Ensemble: With Atrocity, he's a boss standing in the way of the Spider duo saving the world. In particular, he serves as the Final Boss for Spider-Man 2099's side of the story.
- Broad Strokes: Due to Timey-Wimey Ball happening in the game, the Alchemax CEO exist as a future version of Peter Parker in a similar manner to Schrödinger's Cat. While he is able to remember all the things that Peter goes through in the game, and alternately beyond that with his loved ones killed, he doesn't remember Atrocity until having his powers drained in his boss fight.
- Brought Down to Normal: Zigzagged. While the Anti-Aging Drug suppresses his Spider powers to the point of above-peak human levels, he still has his Spider-Sense to avoid Sneak Attacks and fighting experience when he was an active superhero. Along with plenty of resources to fall back on like a private army and an unnamed version of the Iron Spider Armor in his final battle against Miguel. However, Miguel calls him out for being "soft" after so many years of taking the backseat and relying on his corporate goons to do the dirty work, while Peter remarks that the Powered Armor functions more like a crutch, meaning that "if he had confidence in his own speed and agility, then he wouldn't be making with the heavy metal".
- Canon Character All Along: He's really Peter Parker, who's referred to in past tense in the comics since Alchemax's CEO there is an alien named Avatarr. That said
, much like Father Jennifer and Goblin 2099, Peter David did intend for the CEO to be an older Peter too. - Chekhov's Gunman: He was mentioned by Sloan in the prologue and how he was all about "power" and refusing to let anyone else get power to a certain degree. Then came The Reveal...
- Combat Pragmatist: Justified. He no longer possesses the same strength and speed he had due to the Anti-Aging Drug, leading to him relying on indirect methods to fight Miguel. Prior to his boss battle, the CEO would send his private army after him to slow him down, and when they do eventually fight, he decks himself out in a giant, unnamed version of the Iron Spider Armor in order to increase his chances of victory and simultaneously absorb the Quantum Particles so he can control time.
- Composite Character: Played with. He's a future version of Peter Parker but his position as the Alchemax CEO incorporates Avatarr from the original Spider-Man 2099 comic. However, it's more of a case of Canon Character All Along due to Peter David's original intent for the Alchemax CEO to be an older Peter Parker.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: He does run Alchemax, after all. He almost looks a bit like Norman Osborn.
- Cowardice Callout: Played for Laughs. When Miguel calls the CEO out for his cowardice of relying on his corporate goons to do the heavy lifting, he also accidentally refers to the present-time Peter Parker as well.
- Deadpan Snarker: Age and a lifetime of tragedy have done nothing to dull the CEO's characteristic wit.
- Fallen Hero: He is future Peter Parker aka Amazing Spider-Man. 2099 Spidey even lampshades this:Spider-Man 2099: What happened to you, Parker? You used to be the greatest of them all!
CEO: Still am, sport. The one, the only, Spider-Man. Accept no substitutes... including you. - Future Me Scares Me: He's the Big Bad and revealed to be Peter Parker. Amazing Spider-Man is not happy about this at all!
- Godhood Seeker: He's trying to gain the power to control time so he can change history. O'Hara calls his plan "playing God".
- No Man Should Have This Power: Spidey 2099's main argument against the Alchemax CEO's plan to harness the quantum energy of the timestorm.O'Hara: You're talking about power no human should have. You'll end up destroying yourself, but not before you've annihilated everything else.
CEO: Well, then I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. - Powered Armor: Utilizes a giant and darker version of the Iron Spider Armor in his boss battle. Although Peter Parker deconstructs this by remarking on the CEO's lack of confidence in his own powers, mainly due to the anti-aging drug suppressing them to above-peak human levels.
- Really 700 Years Old: Like Black Cat 2099, Peter Parker took an anti-aging drug, resulting in him looking about in his 30s.
- The Reveal: The CEO of Alchemax in 2099 (and true Big Bad of the game) is Peter Parker's future self. Not that Amazing Spider-Man doesn't have fun with it.Amazing Spider-Man: "Old friend?" So this is where you make the big reveal and I say, Holy cow! Norman Osborn! Or The Kingpin! Jonah Jameson! C'mon, PLEASE be Jameson...Alchemax CEO: (sigh) All of them long dead, I fear. Too bad they didn't have access to the anti-aging drug we developed. (chuckle) It does wonders for you. And I do mean...You.
- Shrine to Self: The CEO has one of his time as Spider-Man. It's a bit of a darker take as it's the first hint he never fully got over the tragedies of his past.
- Tautological Templar: As seen with his "version" of With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility, the CEO no longer has any moral restraint to achieve his selfish goals of controlling time to Set Right What Once Went Wrong. At the same, in all of his conversations with Miguel, he justifies his actions For the Greater Good due to his intentions being well-meaning and to erase any mistake he made in the past that resulted in the deaths of his loved ones and other innocent people, despite the damage he'll do to the time-space continuum and the innocent lives he'll risk in his current time. This is best seen in his Villainous Breakdown below.
- The Unfettered: Nothing will stop him from using any opportunity to gain all the power to save the people he loves and all the innocents he failed to save in the past. No matter the risks or even the very high possibility of the space-time continuum collapsing.
- Villainous Breakdown: The CEO starts ranting at Miguel as he is defeated. May also count as Never My Fault.CEO: All those people I could have saved... YOU'RE the real villain here! I tried to warn you, Miguel, I really did! You have no one to blame but yourself! Maybe the most merciful thing to do is just wipe you out of existence entirely! Save us both some aggravation!
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: The Alchemax CEO explains to Spider-Man 2099 his plan: He wants to harness the quantum energy from Sloan's gateway and rewrite history to reverse Amazing Spidey's mistakes, including the deaths of Uncle Ben and Gwen and George Stacy. However, as pointed out by Spidey 2099, he's trying to play God and harness power no human is meant to, and he'll most likely just end up destroying himself and all of reality. The CEO ignores him.
- With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility: After falling into despair, the CEO develops a twisted, unfettered version of the maxim.CEO: With great power comes great responsibility...and great opportunity. And the only way to live up to all that responsibility...is to use every opportunity to get all the power.
