The 20 Greatest Spider-Man Villains

A gallery of Spider-Man villains

Everyone loves a good villain and with Spider-Man there is so much to love. The web-slinger probably doesn’t appreciate it, but he has the most formidable, and coolest, enemies of any superhero. But some are cooler than others. Blogzarro is here to give you the best of the best.


The Chameleon 20. Chameleon

The Chameleon was the first supervillain to face Spider-Man, way back in “Amazing Spider-Man #1″ (1963). He is a master of disguise and a spy. He is also the half-brother of Kraven.


Mysterio 19. Mysterio

Ol’ crystal ball head first appeared in “Amazing Spider-Man #13.” He has proven to be one of Spider-Man’s most elusive and persistent adversaries over the years. And like Doug Henning, he is a master of illusion.


Morlun 18. Morlun

Morlun is one of Spider-Man’s more recent foes. Created by J. Michael Straczynski and John Romita Jr., Morlun is a descendent of a race called the Ancients who feed on “totem” people. He once tore out Spider-Man’s eye and ate it and then broke Mary Jane’s arm.


The Burglar who killed Uncle Ben 17. The Burglar

The man who killed Uncle Ben has never been officially named. The so-called Burglar, who taught us all that “with great power comes great responsibility,” is the one bad guy who has never stopped haunting Spidey and has caused the web-slinger more misery than any one else.


Shocker 16. Shocker

Shocker is probably the coolest supervillain in a quilted costume. He wears a pair of gauntlets that shoot out concentrated blasts of air that vibrate at intense frequencies, and though one of Spidey’s more rationale foes, the web-slinger still taunts him by calling him Mr. Quilt-Man.


Kraven 15. Kraven

Kraven was the greatest big game hunter in the world and he was bent on capturing the biggest game, namely Spider-Man. It took him 20 years, but he finally did it. After capturing Spider-Man, Kraven the Hunter committed suicide, since there wasn’t anything left for him to do.


The Vulture 14. Vulture

He might look like an old fogey in an fur collar, but the Vulture is a vicious enemy. Along with Electro, he once almost beat Spider-Man to death. Vulture, aka Adrian Toomes, first appeared in “Amazing Spider-Man #2″ (1963).


Hobgoblin 13. Hobgoblin

After the Green Goblin’s apparent death, Roderick Kingsley discovered Norman Osborn’s lair and thus was born the Hobgoblin. Though he was scarier looking than the Green Goblin, he wasn’t as powerful. Besides, Kingsley was a fashion designer, which is scary for different reasons.


Electro 12. Electro

Another early foe of Spider-Man’s, Electro was really Maxwell Dillon, an electric company worker with an inferiority complex. He is a founding member of the Sinister Six.


Rhino 11. Rhino

The Rhino is one of Spider-Man’s most powerful foes, but he’s also one of the stupidest. You pretty much have to be to wear that get-up. The Rhino, who began life as a poor immigrant from Russia, likes to rob banks and ram his enemies.


The Scorpion 10. Scorpion

The Scorpion is a result of J. Jonah Jameson’s madness. Jonah hired detective Mac Gargan to subject himself to an experiment that would endow him with the characteristics of a scorpion in order to defeat Spidey. The experiment worked, but Gargan went insane and turned on Jonah.


J. Jonah Jameson 9. J. Jonah Jameson

No one has harassed Spider-Man more than Daily Bugle editor J. Jonah Jameson. Proving that the pen is mightier than the sword, Jameson has been a constant pain in the ass. His hatred and jealousy has even led him to hire villains to hunt down Spider-Man.


The Jackal 8. Jackal

The Jackal is another scientist gone mad. Obsessed with Gwen Stacy, Dr. Miles Warren combined his DNA with that of a jackal after her death. He later cloned Gwen and Spidey and even persuaded the Punisher to hunt down Spidey.


Kingpin 7. Kingpin

Don’t let his obesity fool you. The Kingpin is surprisingly agile. But it’s his intelligence as a criminal mastermind that makes him such a worthy foe. He recently put a hit on Spider-Man which resulted in Aunt May being shot by a sniper. That can’t go well for Kingpin.


The Lizard 6. The Lizard

In a fight between a spider and a lizard, you think the lizard would win. Either way, the Lizard has given Spider-Man a run for his money. The Lizard is really doctor Curt Connors, who ingested some experimental reptile serum much to his detriment.


Carnage 5. Carnage

If Venom is a bad mother, Carnage is super-bad. Carnage is a combination of the Venom symbiote and serial killer Cletus Kasady. He’s not only stronger than Spider-Man; he’s also more powerful than Venom. Yikes!


Sandman 4. Sandman

Sandman, whose real name is William Baker, has one of the more unusual super abilities. He can absorb sand and reconstitute in into his body. He likes to punch Spidey with his sledgehammer fists and create sandstorms. He also goes by the alias Flint Marko.


Doctor Octopus 3. Doctor Octopus

Doctor Octopus, affectionately called Doc Ock, is one of Spider-Man’s oldest foes. The portly mad scientist’s mechanical tentacles have given Spidey plenty of trouble over the years.


Green Goblin 2. Green Goblin

The Green Goblin ended the Silver Age of comics when he pushed Gwen Stacy off the Brooklyn Bridge in 1973. Spider-Man’s arch-nemesis in the late ’60s and early ’70 was really the insane industrialist Norman Osborn.


Venom 1. Venom

Venom is one bad-looking baddie. He makes the Green Goblin look like Kermit the Frog. Venom is the result of a symbiote bonding with Eddie Brock, Peter Parker’s rival at the Daily Bugle. His comparable powers exceed Spider-Man’s, making him one tough adversary.

    6.burglar(this one actually dont matter)
    7.chameleon
    8.rhino
    9.shocker
    10.sandman

    by the way, the burlars last name was carradine and i really dont think jj jameson is a spidey villian.

  2. Gargant says:

    I always see this list as the greatest (tenacy, appearances, damage) not the strongest or powerful villians.
    In this line…

    1.Green Goblin (no doubt about this, the resason for other lists are override)
    2.Doc Oc (true classic)
    3.Venom (im not a fan, but he deserves it)
    4.Kraven (another classic)
    5.Lizard (be a friend is the key in this case)
    6.Mysterio (im a fan like many)
    7.Kingpin (Daredevil nº1)
    8.Chamaleon (the first in the legend)
    9.Scorpion (or Vulture or Sandman)
    10.Jackal (not frecuent but intense)

    Quentin’s list the best i read, older villians for always

  3. Cody says:

    This is how it should be.
    10. Hob Goblin
    9. Scorpion
    8. Electro
    7. Lizard
    6. Rhino
    5. Sandman
    4. Doc Ock
    3. Green Goblin
    2. Venom
    1. Carnage

    Sorry but Carnage is extremely underrated, he’s an actual villain, unlike Venom who is basically an anti-hero but don’t get me wrong, I love Venom but Carnage is probably Spidey’s most evil and powerful enemies ever. Mysterio is the one who shouldn’t be on the list but after all he is pretty low.

  4. jacob says:

    in terms of dangerousness it should be this.
    10.vulture
    9.rhino
    8.sand man
    7.electro
    6.lizard
    5.scorpion
    4.doc ock
    3.green goblin
    2.venom 1.carnage
    venom is my fave but carnage is stronger and more evil so he takes number 1. with gg and doc oct its a toss up but ultimately gg did kill gwen stacy so thats an automatic bamf upgrade.and i think scorpion is one of the most underrated spiderman villians of all.he was the first who was phisically stronger than spiderman and hes even stronger then venom witch is why he gets no.5

  5. Joseph J. Lucas,III says:

    I want Carnage and Scorpian in The Amazing Spiderman 2 movie.

  6. carnage says:

  8. Joel Keesmaat says:

    whinn thomas says(carnage is stronger than venom so he should be number one)
    no he shouldnt he should be 3rd i think, he may be the strongest but he isnt spidermans worst!

  9. KayJayA7X says:

    I like how you wrote Carnage as a ‘super-bad’ version of Venom, and still named him 5th while Venom got the top spot. Totally agree with that. No matter how much stronger the other villains are, Venom is villian to Spiderman just like Joker is villian to Batman. Inseparable. Awesome list. I was thinking, ‘Man, any list without Venom or Green Goblin at the Top 2 must be real bad.’ But in my sincere honesty, Venom has to be the best of all baddies.

  10. fracis says:

    1.venom
    2.sandman

  11. i hav 2 disagree with carnagerules:) i love spiderman oh & carnage shud be #1

  12. sorry carnagerules:) i thot u said spiderman i agree with u about superman he does suck

  13. Nate says:

    ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!! If any thing, Carnage should be number one! He’s EPIC!!!!! Then Venom, etc.

  14. Eric says:

    Not meaning to be disrespectful, you’re IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!! Really, mysterio #19. He deserves atleast #10.

  15. Tyler says:

    This list is alright I guess. With my top ten I’d have to choose:
    10) Rhino- dumb but uber strong
    9) Scorpion poison tail? I’m in!
    8) the Lizard- looks awesome and great background story (can’t wait for the new movie!)
    7) Sandman- can form into anything
    6) Electro- uses electric currents and can do a lot of cool things with it, also a big prick
    5) Mysterious- can’t go wrong with someone who makes you second guess whats really real and what’s just an illusion
    4) Shocker- Mr. Quilt-man! Funny and kinda smart but kinda not. Cool gauntlets and cool power
    3) Venom- scary as fuck and stronger than spider man. If you want this can include carnage cause it’s basically the same thing but carnage is scarier and more fucked up
    2) Morbius- a living vampire! I love vampires and this guys is just scary! I think if they were to make a movie with him in it, the guy who should play the role should be the guy who played as the werewolf in wolfman
    1) Green Goblin- this guy is completely insane. He goes after peters loved ones and kills them and causes mayhem and just tortures people. Scary looking and also his theme revolves around Halloween which is the best holiday ever for me :D

    People can disagree with my top ten but hey it’s my opinion, and it is how it is.

  16. cai says:

    1. Venom- we should all agree venom is #1 for the simple fact that he knows spidey’s family and friends and weaknesses. and most importantly spider man cant detect venom with his spider sense.

    2. Green Goblin- He knows spider mans family and friends
