The First Appearances and Origin of Mister Negative

[@notsosmartguy6254]

Always liked Mr. Negative. Glad the game finally gave him the push he needed.

[@XtreemAlan]

... The video game version's Mr. Negative was less confusing

[@deaththegrimreaper1824]

Liked that version more since he was more relatable

[@p-nut2642]

Facts. When you left his office as Peter and heard "Hello Peter." your spine just tingled. I liked his character and hope we see his grief of aunt may later, because he did care for May and Peter(just became more evil later on)

Yeah this is why Insomniac's Li/Mr. Negative is miles better. I've read his origin so many times and even having it explained to me in video form, this shit is still confusing.

[@YoshiLupus]

I don't see the confusion. It's literally just a seemingly "tragic" backstory with a twist of stolen identity.

[@valeoncat13]

I feel like it's actually really simple. It's just that this video lays it out in a way that tries to reveal the origin to you, like a story. Which makes it REALLY confusing.

[@arnie7779]

Hm

[@Zarathustr]

“Miles better” pun intended?

[@YoshiLupus]

Holy, you actually source the comics in the description. Bless. Makes finding that specific volume a breeze. Some of the biggest of comic KZbinrs fail to do this.

[@hydra3515]

This guy is like the 2 face of marvel

[@Reagan1984]

Eh, not really. They don’t really have anything in common.

[@trevorwalton5431]

Better than 2 face

[@bobthestinky7369]

APH Memerica I mean they have a bit in common, the 2 opposing personalities, the whole yin and yang deal with the benevolent charity worker being his good side and the syndicate boss being his bad side.

[@cooperdonahue3837]

Except a much better villain

[@naimthebyrdman5068]

Clearly you guys don't know the freak version of Two Face 😑.

[@mexicanmuslim]

Stephen Oyoung is the voice actor and Mocap Motion Capture-er of Mr.Negative in SpiderManPS4, he can so act him in the MCU. Everyone go support Stephen!!

[@tastypotato9272]

I really love Mister Negative, i will admit the game introduced me to him, and i'm happy about it. I really love the idea of Li and Negative being seperate entities, it's just so cool and interesting, especially since i love both sides to him.

[@stealthnuke1]

The comics is always over complicated, good they made it more simple.

[@harryguidotti3815]

I love Mr. Negative's design. I wish we saw more of him, honestly. Didn't even know he existed until Spiderman PS4.

[@Greyshadow_17]

That's funny you say he got his powers similar to Cloak and Dagger, it always reminded me of them.

[@marklester6143]

I love your channel. I used to read comics back in the 70s and 80s and most people never reference those periods. Thanks for the nostalgia.

[@sonichart1364]

I knew that Martin Li created the FEAST shelter and his hatred he hides, but I never could imagine his origin to be, this. It’s insane.

[@shonenfanboy1943]

If anyone is confused on this video at 6:00, the guy who sabotaged the boat that Martin Li was on is the real Mr. Negative and he stole the identity of Martin Li.

[@buzzlightyearpfp7641]

this story is just plot twist after plot twist

[@mriddley]

I wasn't expecting much from Mr negative in the game I am so glad I was wrong and now I want to see more of him

[@movienaut]

Im glad someone did a proper good explanation about Mr Negative. My interest in him got big after playing Insomniacs Spider-man and really wanted to know more of him. But Mr N was created in a time were the authors tried to come up something cool and complicated, but still, a simple story is better than most other stories. Thank you for not sounding to negative for this character! (sorry)

Dont mess with Negative.

[@raspykyle7898]

Why is Mr negative such an underused villain, he should be used more. At least he was seen in spider man ps4

[@allend-micheal3905]

I think Mr. Negative would have had more sense if they made him a sorcerer who feeds of the negative emotions of people which would be cool to see Dr. Strange and spidey team up to take him down

[@MerryMarvelite]

I'm always in favour of a good Spidey/Doctor Strange Team-Up.

I would so love to see marvel add mr negative into a future spider-man movie

[@JohnSmith-lp1kd]

One of the only good new characters introduced in the last few years that may have staying power

[@dehno3538]

They definitely should have put the brainwashed Spider-Man in the new game

[@jeffreyredding9229]

I mean they have the suit...LOL

[@animemanXLK]

considering what a major player mr negative is in the ps4 spiderman game it seems almost criminal they left out the mr negative corrupted spiderman suit

[@madmalkavian3857]

It's in there. It's just modified. It basically looks like if Spider-Man had the Mr. Negative power. I personally like that design over the comic version to be honest.

[@animemanXLK]

I'm pretty sure that's the negative zone suit. Spiderman goes their in one issue and his suit changes colors before getting the dusk costume in the identity crisis saga. Though honestly I never understood why it seems to be unlockable in every spiderman game since the sequel on PS1. God I wish they'd give us a little back story paragraph to these costumes.

[@Unpopularopinionbutitsok]

I’m getting the “ Two face “ vibes here man

[@Nyangirl-su9iu]

ok so in spiderman ps4 theres a part where is shows that martin li turns into mister negative and his parents died and norman osborn(not green goblin)was there during the experiment so im kind of confused

[@MerryMarvelite]

I haven't seen that part of the PS4 game yet but it sounds like they changed his origin story somewhat from what it was in the comics.

[@IM_Cmac]

Nyangirl 1254 The Spider-Man PS4 game puts its own spin on his backstory. They wanted the game to be separate from the movie’s and the comic’s but still have details from both.

[@xscythe67]

He also doesn't have the split personality thing in the PS4 game

[@pforgottonsoul]

thats what i like about the PS4 game, it's creating it's own canon.

[@Nyangirl-su9iu]

okay uh thanks guyssss

[@niconico9358]

Hello sir, what are his powers? And what is the extent of the corruption(the power I know of lmao)? Is someone like the hulk not gonna be affected due to his telepathy resistance?

[@MerryMarvelite]

Well, his primary powers are super strength, a corrupting touch, and the ability to charge weapons with Darkforce energy. His corruption can make people serve him but it does have limits. While it turned Spider-Man evil for a time, he was able to break free of his control before he really hurt anybody. Not only that, but The Hood was able to resist it as well, so it doesn't work on everybody. Whether or not it would work on someone like The Hulk, I can't be sure.

[@niconico9358]

@@MerryMarvelite thank you so much, so the, corrupting touch allows him to control people? And what is the dark force energy?

[@MerryMarvelite]

Yeah, not only does the touch turn people evil, but makes them subservient to him, even if they are already evil. Darkforce is energy from the Darkforce dimension. Heroes and villains with powers involving darkness are often connected to this dimension in some way. For example, Cloak from Cloak and Dagger is able to pull people into the Darkforce Dimension, and he can travel through it to teleport.

[@tykamen5588]

Show of hands i bet most of you got introduced to Mr. Negative by playing spider man ps4

[@R0-83-RT]

Kind of feel like Mister Negative is the marvel equivalent to Two Face. A tragic story of what was once a good man turned bad, due to the existence of a dark personality; both have a bit of a Yin Yang/ Dark Light theme going on, and both have gang connections. Though Mister Negative does make up for the one problem I have always had with Two Face, that being outside of having a split personality, Harvey Dent is a pretty average guy. Sure Two Face is decently smart, but it doesn't really stand out to the likes of Mister Freeze, The Riddler or even the Joker. Mister Negative on the other hand has more of a bite with legitimately threatening powers, alongside being a gang leader.

[@mohamed5100]
