Ultimate Six is a seven-issue comic book limited series and crossover between Spider-Man and the Ultimates (2003), featuring the Ultimate Marvel version of the Sinister Six. The series was written by Brian Michael Bendis, penciled by Trevor Hairsine and inked by Danny Miki.
The story takes place after the events shown in Ultimate Spider-Man #46.
Although originally intended to be just six issues, it was expanded to seven.
The Ultimates capture Electro and Kraven the Hunter. They detain them in a maximum-security S.H.I.E.L.D. superhuman prison beneath the Triskelion, along with Flint Marko (the Sandman), Otto Octavius (Doctor Octopus) and Norman Osborn (Green Goblin). Nick Fury informs the five captives that they are detained because they have illegally altered their genetic code. Osborn is convinced that "There will be six" prisoners.
Otto Octavius wants to cooperate with his captors and is granted access to a laboratory, where his metal tentacles are held. He wills his tentacles to attack and then shuts down the prison's power, releasing the others.
Nick Fury immediately sends agents to collect Peter Parker, in case Osborn goes after him. Fury introduces him to the Ultimates, who do not believe that Spider-Man is a teenager, and reminds them that he has defeated all five escapees on his own. From a secret retreat, Norman Osborn places a call to the Chief of Staff in regard to Nick Fury.
