In the MC2 universe, there was a group of Spider-Girl villains who banded together to defeat her. They called themselves the Savage Six, similar to the Sinister Six her father Spider-Man had faced.
The villain Funnyface gathers Spider-Girl's enemies Dragon King, Killerwatt, Mr. Abnormal, and Sabreclaw. After breaking Raptor out of prison, the group becomes the Savage Six. The Savage Six formulate a plan to destroy Spider-Girl, taking hostages from Midville High School to draw her out. Although Spider-Girl defeats Raptor, she learns that she has to fight the other members of the Savage Six in a series of predetermined locations before saving the hostages. Crazy Eight arrives at the scene and knocks out Funnyface, allowing the heroes to apprehend him. [1]

In the Earth-616 reality, there are two different incarnations of the Savage Six:
Crime Master's Savage Six
The third Crime Master assembles Death Adder, the Human Fly, Jack O'Lantern, and Megatak to form the Savage Six, offering them protection from the law and the Kingpin. After a fight with Agent Venom, Jack O'Lantern discovers Eddie Brock webbed up as the Crime Master forcefully bonds Brock to the Toxin symbiote. The Savage Six targets the people Agent Venom cares about, including his family and Betty Brant. [2] When Betty is brought before the Crime Master, she is shocked when the Crime Master reveals himself to be her brother Bennett, who was thought dead after being caught in the crossfire of the fight between Blackie Gaxton's group and Doctor Octopus. [3]
When Agent Venom arrives at the Crime Master's hideout, he defeats Megatak and severely burns Toxin. Bennett Brant almost kills Agent Venom with a sonic pistol and a flamethrower, but is shot and killed by Betty, who states that her brother "died a long time ago". [4]
Hunted version
In the "Hunted" storyline, Kraven the Hunter has Taskmaster and Black Ant apprehend King Cobra, Rhino, Scorpion, Stegron, Tarantula, and Vulture; Arcade publicly brands them as the next Savage Six. [5] After the Great Hunt is over, the six stick together as a group. [6]
