Ranking The Top Spider-Man Villains of All Time
Spider-Man has grown to become one of the most well-known superheroes in the world since its inception more than six decades ago. He began his career on paper, but he can now be seen in various television series, movies, and high-quality video games. Despite being a brilliant character, the Spider-Man franchise would not have been nearly as popular if it hadn’t had such a fantastic cast of enemies.
However, with so many foxes in the Spider-Man henhouse, the issue becomes deciding who the top Spider-Man movie villain is—as well as who never quite lived up to expectations? So, we made a compilation of the top Spider-Man villain who has given Spider-Man a tough battle over the years.
40: Demogoblin
Let’s be real. The regular goblin already freaks us out enough, so imagine a villain that is scarier. This guy is a version of the goblin who is possessed by a demon. This character made a deal for more power. But when the demon tried taking over his body, that turned out to be a mistake.
He had to separate the demon from his body, but that gave it a life of its own. In Marvel’s universe, the Demogoblin is none other than the love interest of Peter Parker, Mary Jane Watson.
39: Doppelganger
It seems like clones are a pretty common Spidey enemy as this guy is also a clone of Spider-Man, who was sent to attack him. He was created by the Magus, who is the evil counterpart of Adam Warlock during the infinity war event.
Surprisingly the first enemy to face the Doppelganger was the Hobgoblin. In another turn of events, Spider-Man teamed up with the Hobgoblin to defeat Doppelganger, who was aided by Demogoblin. He has the same skills that Spider-Man has, with the only difference being his additional arms and superior strength.
38: Boomerang
Boomerang is another member of the criminal group known as The Thunderbolts. He was also in charge of the sixth incarnation of the popular anti-Spider-Man team, The sinister six. He is one of the old villains on the list and has been in the comics since his debut in 1966.
He used to be a rookie baseball player when he was in his younger days. But that all changed suddenly when he joined the secret empire. This is the group that would give him the necessary powers and tools to commit crimes.
37: The Rose
In a twisted turn of events, Rose is the son of the New York mob boss, Wilson Fisk, who wanted to take over for his father as the new lord of crime. He found more joy in getting in the way of his father’s many criminal activities and later became an opponent for Wilson Fisk.
He might not have been a direct threat to Spider-Man, with many of his threats being directed towards his father. He still has come across Spider-Man a few times, and they have butted heads before.
