Negative of the comics is an identity thief and a vicious crime lord only out for himself. In the comics, he was able to easily control Spider-Man and it took outside help for the wall-crawler to break free while in the first game, Peter's able to free himself through sheer Heroic Willpower. However, this ends up making it weaker than in the comics. This version's touch seems to lack that distinction. The more good a person had done in their life, the easier they'd fall under his control. In the comics, his ability to control someone was directly proportional to their morality. Adaptational Superpower Change: His corruptive touch seems to have been hit with this.This version, however, is a real immigrant who came with his parents to the United States in search of a better life, settling in New York City. Negative is a cruel Triad member who smuggles Chinese people into the United States he steals the identity of one of the deceased Fujian slaves (the real Martin Li) and rises to power as a crime lord while posing as a illegal Chinese immigrant who spent the following years building a large fortune and dedicating himself to helping those less fortunate. Negative is every bit as ruthless, his motivations are portrayed in a far more sympathetic light. Negative in the comics was the dark persona of Martin Li and was more or less your stereotypical Card-Carrying Villain, a ruthless crime-lord who sought to take over New York City's underworld. Negative mainly used his powers to corrupt others, while in the game, he demonstrates a wider range of abilities such as creating illusions, firing energy blasts, Super Speed, conjuring Living Shadows and a demon-shaped Battle Aura. This version is more than willing to get his hands dirty. Negative in the comics was a powerful opponent, strong enough to send Spider-Man flying through a building with a single palm thrust, he rarely fought himself and mostly relied on his Inner Demons to do most of the dirty work. Negative may be a Superpowered Evil Side just like in the comics. Negative are one and the same, though it is hinted throughout the first game that Mr. Negative being separate entities and being aware that the other existed, but not of what they did. Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Strangely, he gets this treatment with himself.Inverted in that he does not play a role in Yuri Watanabe's downfall and becoming the vigilante Wraith in this continuity.In the first game, his powers and the deaths of his parents were the result of a freak accident caused by Norman Osborn's experiment going wrong and he seeks revenge on him, while in the comics they have no personal connection aside from being rival crime-lords.Adaptation Name Change: Martin Li is his actual name here instead of the name of someone whose identity he stole when he arrived to the US.But his friendly exterior belies something darker than anyone could have ever anticipated. The founder of F.E.A.S.T., a network of homeless shelters spread throughout New York City, and a friend of the Parkers for years.
