The super villains blackmailed Peter into joining them in an attack on the White House, where the Six lost to the Ultimates, but Peter's former best friend Harry Osborn would also learn the truth about Peter. When Norman and Otto formed the Sinister Six, they kidnapped an unmasked Peter and revealed his true identity to Electro, Sandman, and Kraven the Hunter. Peter's former friend Eddie Brock, Jr was the third to learn of Peter's identity and later confronted Spider-Man as Venom, justifying his turn to villainy due to Peter's attempt to destroy his father's work and not telling him about his other life. This knowledge was passed onto Doctor Otto Octavius, Norman's former employee now better known as Doctor Octopus, who put two and two together while imprisoned by SHIELD following his defeat by Spider-Man. The first to figure it out was Norman Osborn, who realized his OZ-infected spider gave Peter his superpowers, and his attempt to replicate that success onto himself caused Norman to transform into the Green Goblin, sparking the first of their many conflicts against each other. Long before Spider-Man revealed his identity as Peter Parker in Civil War, his teenage incarnation in Ultimate Spider-Man was the textbook example of what happens when you can't keep your damn mask on. Besides all the Ultimate superheroes, SHIELD agents, and civilians who know Peter Parker is Spider-Man, Peter's identity is also known to many of his primary villains. Box office: 020-7863 8000.A mask is meant to help a superhero (or heroine) conceal their secret identity from the world, to protect them and their loved ones from the vengeful enemies seeking payback or to strike a personal blow. Hetain Patel – American Man is at the Lilian Baylis Studio, London, 24 and 25 November.But I always have to believe that it’s going to make my life better.” “When I start a new work I don’t necessarily know if it’s going to end up as a sculpture, a film or a performance. “They make the time I grew up in seem so innocent.” Yet he still retains an old-fashioned conviction of the power of art to inform and improve.

Some of the dystopian possibilities he’s come up with have unnerved even himself. “I wanted to imagine what it would be like if he became bad Obama, if he had his own YouTube channel and began to spout horrible things.” One of the main characters is a post-presidential Obama, who has decided to use all the respect and trust he accrued for evil ends.

This is an exploration of the influences that bombard us from the internet and the power they have on our lives. He recently created a work for the mixed-ability dance group Candoco, and he’s testing his own chameleon body language even further in his latest solo, American Man. Yet Patel is selling short his natural gift for physical mimicry and expression. When I’m performing, I have to get by on adrenaline.” I keep meaning to join a gym, but I don’t. Patel admits that the “generosity of the dance community” in funding and embracing his work has encouraged him to develop the choreographic element more extensively – though even now, when he collaborates with a choreographer, Patel will never describe himself as a dance professional. The fact that much of this performance came to feature a strong element of dance was less deliberate. “Whatever I was wearing, whatever I was doing, what people saw first was always the moustache. “One of my uncles, who I’d hardly spoken to for years, would pat my shoulder and say, ‘It looks good, it suits you.’ I would even get discounts in Indian shops.” Most surprisingly, the whole experience felt very liberating.

Among the traditional Indian community, however, it afforded him a new respect. Back in 2008, facial hair had yet to become hip, and the moustache aroused ridicule or disgust from his friends. Patel’s plan had been to photograph a meticulous record of the moustache’s growth but he discovered he was far more interested in other people’s wildly divergent reactions to what it symbolised.

Those early works were explorations of his Indian heritage, playing up the exoticism of his brown-skinned body in a series of projects that included writing all over himself in henna and then growing a luxuriant moustache, identical to the one his father had sported when he’d come to Britain in the 1960s. However, when he first began exploring identity, he focused only on his own story. In real life, a highly articulate and stylish 35-year-old, with no discernible string attached to his wrist, Patel is interested in the fact that all of us are formed from a magpie assortment of cultural and biographical influences.
