@Stuart- the other possibility is that Max is revived by the tablets but I can’t see any of the characters involved in the tablet storyline wanting to resurrect Max.
Cobra seems to the odd man out in that villain spread. The rest of the villains are ones that have fought Spidey multiple times, but Cobra is not thought of as “a Spidey villain”.
The only encounter between them I can remember is from Stern’s ASM run where he fights Spidey when on the run from Mr. Hyde (although Wikipedia tells me they have fought a few other times).
With Jamie Foxx’s Max Dillon featuring in ‘No Way Home’, as well as Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock, it makes a lot of sense why the original Electro may return in this event. Marvel as ever are full of rather blatant synergy.
Although I would love either MJ or Carlie to be ‘reluctant’ sixth members of Otto’s team
After seeing the image in full, does this mean that Kindred will be resurrecting Max Dillon/Electro for the “Sinister War” storyline or will he return from the dead by other means? I’m also curious if Mysterio will have a role in “Sinister War”, given his history with the Six and his ties to Kindred.
Also, why does Hydro-Man look like Owen Wilson?
