The truth is that superheroes wouldn’t exist in movies if villains didn’t make an appearance. They are two elements that create those stories that we like to enjoy so much accompanied by a good bowl of popcorn and even a soda. Marvel knows this quite well so, throughout its history, it has developed its characters on the side of good and evil with a great eye. Spider-Man is a good example of all this, having seen a great multitude of enemies who have not made it easy for him. For that reason, we have made a top 5 of Spider-Man villains in case any had escaped you.
Top 5 Spider-Man villains
In this compilation we are going to base ourselves on what are probably the most well-known enemies at a massive level of our friend and neighbor Spider-Man. That is, in those who made an appearance accompanying him on the big screen.
The first one we had to tell you about, without a doubt, is the Green Goblin . He has been the quintessential enemy of Spider-Man and the first to see the light of day in the Spider-Man movies. Specifically, this evil psychopath appeared in Spider-Man (2002) played by Willem Dafoe. Later, this villain reappeared in the plot relieved by the character of Harry Osborm, his son, played by James Franco. Now, if all theories are true, it seems that he will make an appearance again in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Another of the most mythical enemies of our spider man is Venom , although it took a lot longer to make an appearance on the big screen. We saw him arrive in Spider-Man 3 , first dominating Peter Parker himself and later, when he seems to manage to get rid of the parasite, possessing Eddie Brock Jr. Then, as you already know, this symbiote had his own movie in which he they better explained its origins.
If you are a follower of the adventures of this Marvel superhero, the villain Doctor Octopus has to sound like you, who is also one of the most iconic. Specifically, this enemy appeared in Spider-Man 2 , played by Alfred Molina. A wacko with 4 robotic arms and not too many good ideas in his head. Specifically, these are the few enemies that Spider-Man has fought in all phases of the MCU and has not yet managed to win …
The villain Electro is also one of Spiderman’s best known enemies and one of the most powerful. His body, made up of pure energy, caused the occasional shock to this Marvel superhero. Specifically, we could see Electro in The Amazing Spider-Man and in Spider-Man 3 , played by actor Jamie Foxx.
One of the last enemies this Marvel character had to face was Mysterio , who made an appearance in Spider-Man: Homecoming . He may not be the strongest villain, but he could be one of the smartest. With his powers of illusion and deception he gave our superhero a pretty bad time.
Other enemies of Spider-Man
The ones we have described are probably the 5 villains that have stood out the most throughout the Spider-Man movies, but they are by no means the only ones. Behind these evil characters are some others that surely sound to you -or not- like:
- Rhino
- The lizard man
- The vulture
- Sandman
And, of course, many other enemies of the comics that have not yet seen the light on the big screen. Although, of all these, we will talk to you later in another article on our website. Stay tuned.
