Rumors circulating online claim that Menace, a female supervillain, will be a part of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. She is rumored to be played by Sadie Sink. While ongoing speculation about a potential villain hasn’t been confirmed, many fans remain invested in learning more about Menace’s origins and abilities. So, here’s all you need to know.
Lily Hollister, also known as Menace, is the ex-fiancée of Harry Osborn and a member of the Goblin underground.
Lily Hollister debuted in Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 1 #545 as the daughter of district attorney William Hollister. She initially appeared as Harry Osborn’s wealthy girlfriend, although Harry remained deeply in love with a clone created by an artificial intelligence based on Norman Osborn.
Lily embraced her supervillain identity after she accidentally exposed herself to Norman Osborn’s old chemical formulas, which transformed her into the grey-skinned Menace. As Menace, she developed impressive powers and adopted the violent tendencies characteristic of the Goblins.
Menace is rumored to be the villain in Spider-Man 4: Brand New Day.
The rumors began after the official title of Spider-Man 4 was revealed. Industry insider MyTimeToShineHello believes that the new film’s plot might draw from the Brand New Day comic storyline, in which Menace plays a key antagonistic role. Moreover, many fans believe Sadie Sink may be cast as Menace, since her role has reportedly been described as “significant,” according to Deadline.
After being exposed to Osborn’s chemical particles, Menace developed several superhuman abilities. These include superhuman strength, stamina, durability, speed, agility, and reflexes. She also possesses regenerative healing and transformation abilities.
In addition to her powers, Menace uses a Mark 7 Goblin Glider for transportation. She also makes use of specialized equipment, including Pumpkin Bombs, bulletproof armor, and other strange portable incendiary devices.
