Ending:


(The Beetle is seen in an underground laboratory somewhere on Planet Zebes. He is then approached by several Space Pirates, led by Sylux. Before they could kill him, Beetle explains the following.)

The Beetle: “I am aware that you have a vendetta against the bounty hunter known as Samus Aran. I have a vendetta against someone by the name of Spider-Man.”

(The Space Pirates lower their claw-like arms as they listen.)

Sylux: “Your point?”

The Beetle: “Your technology fascinates me. It will give me the upper hand to be rid of that blasted, wall-crawling idiot. If we work together, I guarantee you that I will help you kill Samus Aran.”

(Sylux realizes the resourcefulness of the scheming human. Seeing as both share a common goal in life, Sylux agrees to his offer.)

Sylux: “All right, Jenkins. You’ve got a deal.”

The Beetle: “You’ve made the right choice, Sylux.”

(For months, the two criminals made horrific experiments to combat Spider-Man and Samus. They consisted of Cyborg Space Pirates, Zombie Space Pirates, and even Space Pirates infused with Phazon energy. After months of preparing, they head to Earth via teleporter, where they encounter Spider-Man and Samus.)

Spider-Man: “Beetle?!”

Samus Aran: “Sylux?!”

The Beetle: “That’s right! I happened to run into someone who was willing to help me out.”

Spider-Man: “What’s your game, Beetle?”

The Beetle: “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You just wait and see!”

(The Beetle and Sylux reveal their new army to Spider-Man and Samus, much to their shock.)

Samus Aran: “An army of Space Pirates of different kinds? You’re insane, Beetle!”

The Beetle: “Ingenious, isn’t it, Ms. Aran?”

Samus Aran: “You disgust us, freakshow!”

The Beetle: “There’s no stopping us now! This battle will be our last!”
I'm surprised I haven't done a Marvel villain up until now. To make up for that, I figured I'd start out with one of my favorites. It's The Beetle!

Notes and Trivia:
  • Coming up with a good moveset for The Beetle was pretty tough. But I managed to come up with some nifty ideas that sound badass.
  • The Beetle's Mega Electrobite Blast is somewhat similar to Shuma-Gorath's Hyper Mystic Ray.
  • As much as I wanted to use Chris Latta as his voice actor (he voiced him in Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends), the problem is that he's deceased, so I couldn't use him. However, Steven Blum (who voiced him in Ultimate Spider-Man) did a good impression of his SAHAF voice, so I decided to make him quite the ham like he was in his appearance from SAHAF.
  • In his victory quote against Villager, The Beetle makes a reference to what happened to him at the end of the SAHAF episode he appeared in. Whoever guesses correctly gets a free cookie.
  • Sylux (Metroid) makes a cameo in The Beetle's ending.
