Who is The Beetle in comics? Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2 villain explained Insomniac Games | Marvel ComicsLeaked info pertaining to Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2 implies that legacy villain The Beetle may be making their debut in an upcoming DLC mission. A recent Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2 leak could have given away a pretty significant DLC plot point. The leak, via a dev menu that was mistakenly left accessible, doesn\u2019t feature any specific content but rather a broad overview. The villain the DLC may introduce is one who has been fighting Spidey and other Marvel heroes for years now, though they\u2019re not the original holder of the title. Although Insomniac Games has yet to officially confirm DLC for Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2, here\u2019s everything you need to know about Marvel Comics villain The Beetle. Marvel\u2019s The Beetle is the daughter of Spider-Man villain Tombstone The DLC leak references Beetle Janice, but she\u2019s not the original Beetle. The first was Abner Jenkins, a mechanic who turned to crime. Jenkins would do battle with a number of heroes over the years, most notably the Fantastic Four and the Avengers as a member of the Masters of Evil. He would ultimately find a new lease on life as a member of the Thunderbolts, where he abandoned his villainous ways and became known as the hero Mach. In an effort to defeat the then-Captain America Bucky Barnes, Baron Zemo bequeathed the Beetle identity to Janice Lincoln, the daughter of New York crime boss Tombstone. Though Janice was unsuccessful in her attempts at defeating Captain America, she found herself deeper and deeper into a life of crime, following in her father\u2019s footsteps. Janice would eventually form her own criminal supergroup, The Syndicate, consisting of gender-flipped versions of popular Spider-Man villains, including Scorpina and Electro. Most recently, Janice has found herself balancing her criminal life with a relationship with Peter Parker\u2019s roommate, Randy Robertson. How will The Beetle factor into Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2 DLC? It\u2019s important to note that as of this writing, The Beetle is not yet confirmed for Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2, let alone any DLC plans. However, the leaked content on the dev menu and the events of the main story hint at a DLC that may crib from a recent Spider-Man comic event. In Gang War, New York\u2019s criminal underground goes to war with itself when Tombstone is attacked at Janice\u2019s wedding. Janice herself, along with the Syndicate, vie to take control, with Janice eventually becoming the new Scourge. It does end on something of a bittersweet note. Seeing that Janice is either going to win the war or be killed, Tombstone slips back into a life of crime and violence. He knocks out his own daughter and takes the decisive final strike in the war himself, becoming the sole leader of New York\u2019s criminal underground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
