Alistair Smythe

Since Osborn will build his empire out of the SHIELD and HYDRA ashes, this would be a great opportunity to introduce Alistair Smythe. He is yet another scientist which can be co-opted by Osborn. And he could prove to be, on the long run, one of the better Spider-Man villains.

Of course, he already appeared on the big screens, in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. However, he was nothing else than a bully, basically being responsible for the creation of Electro. Which would be a great achievement, if it wasn’t just an accident and if that Electro wasn’t such a mess of a villain.

So Marvel can now bring the real Smythe, the scientist who holds a grudge against all superheroes. Why? Well, a reason can be found, seeing that every Marvel flick ended up with considerable destruction and loss of life.
