This question has probably already been asked in about a thousand sub-forums, and I apologize for not spending 6 hours going through them all to find the answer, but.....
why is Scorpion not Sinister Syndicate??
His experienced version should definitely be Sinister Syndicate, to reflect his brief stint as a member of the Sinister Six. And if not, to at least show him being a hardcore Spidey villain at some point (ok I know he's not officially "hardcore" but you get the jist of it). I saw he is MoE on the exp version. Is this an error like MoE Pyro, or is this just a big freaking oversight on the part of Wizkids? If its the latter of the two, shame on you Wizkids for overlooking that.

I gotta agree. Scorpion's been a thorn in Spidey's side for such a long time. His Rookie and Experienced deserve the Sinister Syndicate, and maybe his Vet. should have that MoE. Either way, I love that sculpt!

I have been hoping this was a mistake and that the Vet should be SS.
I'll be playing him alongside Kingpin Sandman and Boomerang though....

I do agree he has a great sculpt. In fact, I even love the attentive detail on his dark green lines. Good to see they didnt just go with painting him all lime green and leaving it at that. Too bad he isnt SS though.

I totally agree on the fact that one of the Scorpion's versions should be on the Sinister Syndicate team.
As a matter of fact, I don't think I've ever heard of the Sinister Syndicate in the comics. But I have heard of the Sinister Six. And if I'm not mistaken Scorpion was a founding member of the Sinister Six.
Anybody got a link that confirms the original Sinister Six?

My syndicate team is my fav to play, and I was kinna upset that NO ONE from this set has the team ability, especially scorp. Not to say he can't be put on it tho, but better additions include Green Goblin, and E taskmaster for a leader. On the scorp sculpt issue, I only wish he were hunched over a little bit more instead of standing up straight. Would make him look more menacing, and make it look like his tail could reach a bit further.

In the comics the Sinister Syndicate was pretty much a joke. The only members of their line-up I can remember were Hydro-Man, Boomerang, Speed Demon, and the Beetle (the only cool member).
I think they were being led by the oh-so-fearsome Jack O'Lantern when they first appeared.
