Ranking Every Spider-Man Villian - A Tier List

Spider-Man, along with Batman, has arguably the best villians rogues gallary. From classics like The Green Goblin, Doc Ock, The Vulture and The Lizard to the slightly more modern with Venom, Carnage, Mr Negative and 2022's Jared Leto's Morbius. The list goes on. Here we attempt to cover as many as possible including some obscure entries like Big Wheel in an attempt to determine who is the best. But the real winner is whomever you think. Thanks for watching!

"Fun" Fact: Until the 90s cartoon decided to make him just a cannon fodder villain, Shocker was the most successful Spider-Man villain. With beating, or escaping from Spider-Man over 50% of the time. Why was he so successful? He didn't want to mess around with Spider-Man. He just wanted money so never wanted to fight or hold grudges with Spider-Man. Just took the money and when Spider-Man showed up, knock up down long enough to make a getaway. Once the 90s jobbered him, his character never really recovered. Secret A tier.

I feel like Rhino was created specifically to be the boss in a video game that has the mechanic of getting baited into running into stuff that makes him vulnerable to attacks (which is impressive considering video games weren't a thing yet). Props to him for filling that niche.

Peter’s landlord will always be an S tier villain

[J.O.R.D]

They made Vulture genuinely look good with the fur coat and the menacing wings and suit, same with Mysterio, they did a great job with most of Spiderman's villains in the MCU tbh

[ValueNetwork]

I think the Vulture is one of my favourite Spidey foes for the Simple fact that he’s literally 100 years old and is on the brink of death but at the same time he’s healthy enough to both fly through New York and fight Spider-Man. The fact that the vulture has won some of his fights against spidey and didn’t have a heart attack is genuinely a miracle

Oh boy I can’t wait to see where my favorite Spider-Man villain, The Corn of Coblin, ranks on this definitive list!

[apocrypha]

In Rhino's first appearance, Spiderman dodges him a few times and then Rhino gets tired, falls over and is arrested.

Solid S-Tier behaviour.

One of the most interesting things about scorpion that isn't explored in other media is that he was created by J Johna Jameson and that he HATES Jameson and tries to kill him alot.

[matthewchan]

Tombstone in Spectacular Spiderman was a very good interpretation of him, menacing, mutual respect for spider-man and voiced by Keith David

[johnw]

The iteration of Kraven in the new video game is absolutely an S tier villain. Best version of the character I’ve ever seen.

[KungFuWombat]

I can't believe they even bothered ranking the rest when Corn of Coblin was right there.

Rhino's arc in the Dan Slott Amazing Spider-man run was superb; going straight, losing his wife, still managing to try and just live his life, dragged back in, messed up by having her clone come back and then die in his arms, etc.

Plus the scene with him and Silver Sable in the rising water is incredible. Honestly, he's been elevated way beyond the (now fairly pedestrian) "big dumb guy you need to make run into things" characterisation a few times and I wish it would stick.

[SirAsdf]

I think what separates an S-Tier or A-Tier Spidey villain from the lower tiers is the question, "Could I see this guy being a challenge for anyone other than Spider-Man?"

Kingpin serves as an excellent final boss for Marvel's more street level heroes. Venom's concept works so well that he's barely even Spider-Man related in the comics anymore. Green Goblin has been the cause for several world altering events in the comics. And Mephisto is literally the devil.

Captain America ain't gonna have any trouble fighting Vulture or Chameleon. Just gonna break them into dust.

[Kralich]

In one particularly bizarre "what if" story, the Green Goblin's colour scheme was changed drastically, and his powers were oriented around water. However, the new "Aqua Goblin" and his colour scheme proved to be a bust with comic fans and the panels were quickly recoloured in an effort to surprise fans before the news got out, with the artist in charge of this effort codenaming it Blue Harvest.

[JessicaZanerealz]

His writers can be the scariest of them all.

[connieworroll]

Vulture was the first villain canonically to kinda get one over on Spiderman, hence why he tends to always give Spiderman the proper fade one time despite being an old guy

[iliasVoolgaris]

Shocker has immense play in the video games, for some reason.
The dude is in 90% of all Spider-Man video games, since the PS1 days

[CastleChris]

I just went to the When We Were Young festival in Las Vegas and saw Dr Michael Morbius himself and his band play live in front of 80, 000 people. I cannot stress how much of an awkward show it was. Not once single person was interested, and when he asked the crowd to sing along, it was the loudest silence I've ever heard

[Starwebs]

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 screenwriters should be in the first place

[TheScarletTroll]

Mad respect for putting Mephisto in S-tier. As a proxy of Marvel editorial he's truly Spider-Man's greatest foe and done the most long-term damage. He's literally been winning for 16 years and counting.
