![]() Despite being a crime lord, Li was a seemingly kind and generous man. (where May Parker volunteered) while he was also the Chinatown crime boss, Mister Negative. Martin Li was a seemingly good willed philanthropist who ran a volunteer soup kitchen called F.E.A.S.T. In the first steps of his rise, he took control of the White Dragons gang, and seemingly erased the Snakeheads gang from the Fujian to New York (but instead had them absorbed into his organization), and along the way saved Martin's wife, Yana, from them (she was abducted in order to pay for Martin's travel, thought he hadn't survived). It appears that The Hood has never shared this information and the public is unaware of Martin Li or Mister Negative's true origin. Negative told his true origin as a Snakehead to The Hood during a battle in an attempt to explain the need for both good and evil. ![]() Using his fortune to bribe the two principal political parties, he was not bothered about his illegal immigrant status. Li was the only survivor and spent the following years building a large fortune and dedicating himself to helping those less fortunate. During a storm, the ship's crew evacuated, leaving the captives alone to make a break for the New York shores. However, his mode of transportation, the Golden Mountain, was a slave ship operated by the Snakehead gang as a way to sell Fujian captives as overseas slaves. In China, he ran a factory, but because of his lack of resources to bribe the Communist Party, he could not develop his business and grew tired of his country. The public knows that the person known as Martin Li was an illegal Chinese immigrant from the Fujian province who attempted to travel to America to be with his wife. In order to survive and accomplish his goals, the former smuggler used Martin Li's identity and built himself a new existence. The Mister Negative side dedicated himself to becoming Chinatown's Kingpin of Crime, intending to erase the Maggia for what it had done to him. The drug also created two distinct identities within the one man: the kind-hearted Martin Li persona and the villainous Mister Negative persona. Thanks to the drug and their unique biology, all three developed super-powers related to Darkforce and the Lightforce transforming Tyrone and Tandy into Cloak and Dagger and "Li" into Mister Negative. Miraculously three kidnapped victims, Tyrone Johnson, Tandy Bowen, and "Martin Li", survived the experimentation and escaped. Marshall was developing a new synthetic designer drug called " D-Lite" for the Maggia, testing it on runaway teens and illegal immigrants, often with fatal results, in order to create a cash crop for the crime family. "Martin Li" came to his Snakehead gang in Flushing only to discover them dead, and was himself eventually captured by the Maggia crime family member, Silvermane, who forcibly delivered "Martin Li" to the criminal chemist Simon Marshall. When the ship nearly crashed onto the New York City shores, he stole the identity of one of the deceased Fujian slaves, Martin Li, who was heading to America to join his wife. He smuggled Chinese immigrants into the United States as a crew member of the Golden Mountain. He was pushed into a life of crime by the crime boss known as Silver Fang. ![]() He winds up being just one of the Sinister Six, and not the one your final battle is focused on.The man who would become Mister Negative was a member of the Snakeheads gang in China, which was involved in human trafficking operations. Negative’s recruitment to the Sinister Six a little more awkward, but theThe fact that he is so focused on the Mayor throughout the game seems like a wasted opportunity. The game could have focused on Peter uncovering the reason for the conflict and then bringing the conflict back to the story’s real Big Bad. ![]() Negative could have very easily been targeting someone much closer to Peter for legitimate reasons. Again, I don’t mean to spoil the story, but Mr. While he’s definitely the focus of the game’s first portion, he slides into the background later on. Negative isn’t ultimately the biggest enemy in the game. The Bad: He Stands in the Way of the Bigger Conflict Just saying, maybe you guys could take out some targeted ads in some minority focused magazines? No one is saying that you need to hire an unqualified candidate! Just expand your recruiting net a little bit.
