E3 2018:到底谁是《蜘蛛侠》中的神秘反派 - 漫威蜘蛛侠

索尼公司在今年的E3游戏展上向我们展示了Insomniac Games制作的PS4《蜘蛛侠(Spider-Man)》一些振奋人心的实机演示,以及游戏的新情节。本作剧情改编自漫威漫画《新复仇者联盟:越狱(The New Avengers: Breakout)》。其中,电光人(Electro)受雇扰乱了戒备森严的监狱“木筏(Raft)”的电子系统,释放出了上百名超能力罪犯。在游戏新公布预告片中,他与犀牛人(Rhino)、毒蝎(Scorpion)、秃鹫(Vulture)、负极先生(Mister Negative)5名反派联手将蜘蛛侠打倒在地。在蜘蛛侠爬起来后,他看到了一位神秘反派,而且显得很惊讶,视频到此便结束了并没有告诉我们这位神秘反派的身份。

 

表面看来,预告片似乎没有给我们太多线索,但在对视频抽丝剥茧理,并在网上搜集了一些资料后,我们找到了关于这名反派真实面目的蛛丝马迹。这些线索指向了几位我们熟悉的面孔,其中一些还与蜘蛛侠有着很深的渊源。

在我们介绍这位神秘反派可能的身份之前,我们一起来梳理一下相关信息。

Who Is Spider-Man PS4's Mystery Villain?

  • 蜘蛛侠在视频结尾认出了这位反派,他说道:“什么,是你?”语气中包含了惊讶、困惑还有些受伤。所以这位反派很有可能与彼得·帕克(Peter Parker)有私人往来,而且帕克没有想到他会与自己作对。
  • 电光人说这位反派为他打造了全新的高科技战衣,所以很有可能视频中犀牛人、毒蝎以及秃鹫的战衣也都是这位反派提供的。由此我们可以推测他可能拥有雄厚的财力和资源,或者掌握着相应的技术。
  • 当这位反派出现在蜘蛛侠面前的时候,他发出了白色亮光,而且如果你看的够仔细还能听到机械旋转的声音,所以这位反派同时还拥有自己的高科技装备。
  • 索尼PlayStation官方在一篇博文中明确表示,这位神秘人的确是一个反派人物,这也否定了所有认为“神秘人是来协助蜘蛛侠的盟友”这种说法。

 

  • 在今年2月份,Insomniac官方发推文表示本作中共生体并未登场,所以神秘人也就不可能是毒液(Venom)或者屠杀(Carnage)了。
  • 负极先生对其他反派说:“记住,他说要留活口。”这也告诉我们这位神秘反派是男性,而且其他5个反派要听命于他。
  • 在游戏的其他预告片中,我们已经看到了金并(Kingpin)和惊悚(Shocker),如果是他们的话,这位神秘反派的身份派就不存在悬念了,所以也可以排除是他们二者之一的可能性。

基于以上这些细节,我们挑选出了几位(我们认为)最有可能的反派人选:

绿魔(Green Goblin),诺曼·奥斯本(Norman Osborn)

往往最明显的答案就是正确答案,第一眼看上去,所有的线索似乎都指向了诺曼·奥斯本。它的邪恶人格绿魔可以说是蜘蛛侠最大的敌人。在漫画中,他也曾担任过邪恶六人组(Sinister Six)的首领。尽管游戏中的反派组织并没有明确地叫做邪恶六人组,但这6个人的设定很明显与这个组织有关。

诺曼·奥斯本满足了我们上述列举的所有条件,因为他的儿子哈利·奥斯本(Harry Osborn)与彼得是好友,所以他的正常人格与蜘蛛侠有关联。

<b>Green Goblin, Norman Osborn.</b> Often the most obvious answer is the right one, and at first glance, all signs point to Norman Osborn given that his evil persona the Green Goblin is considered Spider-Man’s greatest foe. He’s also been the leader of the Sinister Six in the comics, and while this group of villains isn’t explicitly called that, it’s clear that’s what we’re getting. Norman checks all the boxes. He has a personal connection to Spider-Man because Peter is friends with his son, Harry Osborn. We already know from previous trailers that Norman is running for re-election as mayor of New York City in the game, so maybe Spider-Man doesn’t know his true identity and is shocked to learn it in this scene. Norman is incredibly wealthy so he could bankroll fancy new suits for the Sinister Six, courtesy of Oscorp. Green Goblin riding in on his Goblin Glider would explain the mechanical noise heard when the villain arrives, and to that point, they are all quite high up, so it would make sense for Green Goblin to fly in to make his entrance. The one thing that pokes a hole in this theory is found in a piece of Yuri Watanabe’s dialogue. As you’re chasing down Electro, she radios in to say, “Well, it looks like the entire population of the Raft has escaped. That makes five of your worst enemies that are now on the loose.” This implies that Electro, Rhino, Scorpion and Vulture were all freshly broken out of the Raft along with the mystery villain (remember Mister Negative gets choppered in for the final battle), so that means that this villain was a prisoner along with the rest. It’s doubtful Norman would be running for public office while incarcerated. Then again, there’s a lot we don’t know, so perhaps there’s a way it could still end up being Norman.

从以前的预告片中我们已经得知,诺曼在纽约市市长竞选中连任,所以也许蜘蛛侠还不知道他的真实身份,而且在这个场景中,很震惊地发现了这件事。诺曼十分富有,因此他有条件为其他反派提供战衣。绿魔的恶魔滑翔机可以解释神秘反派到场时我们听到的机械噪音,因为预告片结尾时,蜘蛛侠和其他5名反派正在监狱的楼顶上,绿魔此时乘滑翔机出现也说得通。

 

但这一理论也有一个漏洞。在预告片中蜘蛛侠追逐电光人时,蝙蝠侠的队友尤莉·渡边(Yuri Watanabe)在无线电上说道:“好吧,看来整个“木筏”里的犯人都被放出来了。也就是说,你的5个最可怕的敌人现在也获得了自由。”因为负极先生是后来西装革履地乘坐直升机赶到的监狱顶部,所以尤莉·渡边口中关押在监狱中的5名反派中除了电光人、犀牛、毒蝎和秃鹫之外应该还包括这位神秘反派。而诺曼是不可能被关在监狱的同时还参与竞选的,所以这也使得神秘反派是绿魔的理论有些站不住脚。但我们目前也只是根据现有的信息进行推测,所以也许这位神秘反派最终真的就是绿魔也说不定。

章鱼博士(Doctor Octopus),奥托·奥克塔维斯(Otto Octavius)

<b>Doctor Octopus, Otto Octavius.</b> Otto Octavius aka Doctor Octopus fits the bill, as well. Doc Ock is another A-list Spider-Man villain and in the comics was the leader of the original Sinister Six. He’s been depicted in the comics as a scientific mentor and inspiration to Peter Parker (plus he has the hots for dear old Aunt May), so that creates both a personal connection and a reason for Spider-Man to feel betrayed at seeing him aligned with the bad guys. Doc Ock could have used that big brain of his to design new suits for his crew, and those four mechanical arms of his could be what we hear at the end. It’s also worth noting that the two men who wrote the Amazing Spider-Man comic series over the past decade, Dan Slott and Christos Gage, are writers on this game, and their Superior Spider-Man arc featuring a Octavius is a fan-favorite, so making him the main villain would be right up their alley.

章鱼博士也是蜘蛛侠的头号宿敌之一,在漫画中他是最初邪恶六人组的领袖人物。他在漫画中曾是彼得·帕克的科学启蒙导师(此外他还对梅姨怀有爱慕之情),这就使他与蜘蛛侠有了一些联系,而且让蜘蛛侠有种遭到背叛的感觉。而章鱼博士也能够靠自己的才智为其他4个反派设计新战衣,他的四个机械臂可以解释我们最后听到的机械运作的声音。

值得注意的是,在过去的十年中编写了《惊奇蜘蛛侠(Amazing Spider-Man)》系列漫画的两位作者,丹·斯洛特(Dan Slott)和克里斯托斯·盖奇(Christos Gage)正是PS4《蜘蛛侠》的编剧。而他们的另一部漫画作品《究极蜘蛛侠(Superior Spider-Man)》中的主要反派就是章鱼博士,而且这个角色深受粉丝们喜爱,所以让章鱼博士成为最终反派也是顺理成章的。

胡狼(The Jackal),迈尔斯·沃伦(Miles Warren)

<b>The Jackal, Miles Warren.</b> Speaking of villains that Slott and Gage are familiar with, the Jackal was a main player during key arcs in their run. His most infamous story “The Clone Saga” is so complicated that it gives even hardcore comic readers a headache, but to keep things brief, he’s a mad scientist obsessed with cloning and genetic tampering, like how he cloned Spider-Man (several times) and spliced his own DNA with that of a jackal in order to gain superhuman strength, speed, and agility. This fellow doesn’t fit the mold quite as well as our first two options, but he would make for a truly surprising choice, and a story based on him would be absolutely filled to the brim with mind-bending plot twists.

说起斯洛特和盖奇笔下的反派英雄就不得不提到胡狼这个角色。这位反派最声名狼藉的故事发生在《克隆传说(The Clone Saga)》这个复杂到连硬核漫画粉丝提起来都头疼的漫画中。简而言之,胡狼是一位沉迷于生物克隆和篡改基因的疯狂科学家,他曾数次克隆了蜘蛛侠,并在自己的基因中融入了胡狼基因,以此获得超越常人的速度、力量和反应能力。尽管他不如前两个反派那样符合预告片中神秘人的条件,但如果《蜘蛛侠》真的以他为反派首领的的话,整个游戏一定会充满跌宕起伏的情节。

终极蜘蛛杀手(The Ultimate Spider Slayer),阿里斯特·斯迈思(Alistair Smythe)

<b>The Ultimate Spider Slayer, Alistair Smythe.</b> While Alistair Smythe isn’t a household name, he has a long history of being a Spider-Man baddie in the comics. He developed his hatred for Spider-Man when his father, Spencer Smythe, created the Spider-Slayer robots to destroy Spider-Man (commissioned by J. Jonah Jameson, no less), only to fail and pass away due to illness caused by working with the radioactive materials that powered the machines. Alistair blamed Spider-Man (naturally) and continued his father’s legacy with the goal of exacting revenge. In addition to building new Spider-Slayers, he eventually experimented on his own body and turned himself into a genetically altered, mechanically enhanced super baddie, dubbing himself the Ultimate Spider-Slayer. It’s not hard to imagine that Alistair created new suits for each member of the Sinister Six so they could be his new “spider slayers” and help him get revenge on Spider-Man.

虽然阿里斯特·斯迈思并不是一个家喻户晓的名字,但他在《蜘蛛侠》漫画中担任反派角色已经由来已久。彼得的报社老板J·乔纳·詹姆逊委托阿里斯特的父亲斯宾塞·斯迈思(Spencer Smythe)教授研发蜘蛛杀手机器人来消灭蜘蛛侠,意图让蜘蛛侠暴露真实身份。但斯宾塞教授却因长期暴露在辐射性物质下而去世。从此阿里斯特·斯迈思便对蜘蛛侠产生了仇恨,为了完成父亲的事业并完成复仇,他不惜在自己的身体上进行基因实验,并将自己的身体改造成了终极蜘蛛杀手,开始四处追杀蜘蛛侠。因此不难想象,阿利斯特可以为邪恶六人组成员制作新型作战服,这样他们就可以成为新的“蜘蛛杀手”,和他一起报复蜘蛛侠。

神秘客(Mysterio),昆汀·贝克(Quentin Beck)

<b>Mysterio, Quentin Beck.</b> Mysterio is the villain for the upcoming sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming, so why not ride that wave by making him the villain of the wall-crawler’s new video game, too? Double the exposure, double the hype! Aside from being a regular member on Sinister Six teams in the comics, Mysterio is a different kind of villain that would make for some interesting gameplay. After all, he is a master of illusion and trickery, enough to make web-head’s spider-sense work overtime, so he would be able to attack from all angles and make players question everything they see. While he doesn’t have an innate personal connection to Spider-Man, a new one could be written into the game by having him pose as someone Spider-Man trusts, only for him to make a grand reveal of his true identity right when Spidey is at his lowest point. Sounds just like the kind of theatrical move Mysterio would relish.

神秘客是《蜘蛛侠:英雄归来(Spider-Man: Homecoming)》续作电影中的反派,所以为何不让他先在PS4《蜘蛛侠》中登场,提前为电影造势呢?

除了在漫画中是邪恶六人组的成员之外,神秘客还是一位另类的反派角色,他的加入会为游戏带来一些有趣的玩法。他是幻觉与诡计的大师,可以迷惑蜘蛛侠的感官,让自己的幻想从四面八方攻击蜘蛛侠,使得玩家开始质疑自己所看到的一切。虽然他与彼得并没有私人联系,但这位新角色仍然可以在游戏中假扮蜘蛛侠熟悉的人,并最终向他亮明自己的真实身份。这听起来很像是神秘客的惯用伎俩。
