In the mainstream Marvel Universe, Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus are widely considered Spider-Man's two biggest arch-enemies. But things are a little different in the new Ultimate Universe, where May 29's Ultimate Spider-Man #5 just gave brand new backstories to both Harry Osborn and Otto Octavius, setting up what seems to be a very different status quo for the new reality.
Readers have already met Harry Osborn, and Marvel's solicitation for August's Ultimate Spider-Man #8 foreshadowed the arrival of Otto Octavius, but Harry's backstory is now revealed, and we've been introduced to Otto earlier than expected. And on top of that, Ultimate Spider-Man #5 even includes the origins of two more classic Spidey villains whose new Ultimate counterparts have already debuted, Shocker and Kingpin.
