The anticipation surrounding the Spider-Noir series starring Nicolas Cage is heating up, and a brand new trailer gives us the first look at the rogue’s gallery this Spider-Man variant is set to face off against. A number of these villains have their comic book origins all the way back to the original comics authored by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. Read on to learn more.
1. Silvermane
The primary villain who’s confirmed to be in the show is Silvermane, played by Brendan Gleeson. In the show, Silvermane is an Irish mob boss with a history with Ben Reilly (played by Nicolas Cage), and multiple people are out for his blood. He’s mentally unstable, but he’s smart enough to stay in the game as long as he has, making him a formidable adversary.
In the comics, Silvermane first appeared in the 1969 Spider-Man story arc centered on an ancient clay tablet that the mob boss intended to use to become immortal. Silvermane coerced Doctor Curt Connors (also known as the Lizard) into deciphering the tablets and synthesizing an anti-aging potion, but his scheme eventually backfired as he was de-aged too much. Even after Silvermane’s return, his obsession with his age is a defining characteristic of his comic self, to the point that he eventually converted himself into a cyborg in order to leave his human frailties behind.
