"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.

[@1wayroad935]

Shocker is also one of the few villains who is Super Effective against the Symbiote.

[@ericwalsh2954]

This is kinda in lore now, alot of tye spiderman versions refer to the shocker as someone he struggled with when he first started

[@ender_z4nd3r83]

It also takes part of one of the best scenes in spider-man media, and that is him being chased by Spider-man with the simbiote suit

[@bluecanine3374]

Thing is, I like him as a reoccurring pest. Not some super genius or ultra powerful threat, just a guy who wants to make some money with a power that can knock Spidey off his feet if he gets careless. Not completely weak and dumb, but not some city wide threat either.

[@EmjayUltra]

So many things are good for video games. Doesn't really mean much considering spider man obviously has to have a way to defeat rhino. If he just beat up rhino with his fist that also works well for a game. Don't think it's as spectacular as you think.

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

[@matthewchan9807]

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

[@VCRVoyage]

This was my initial thought but the reason he's so good is because he's basically just The Kingpin and they didn't have the rights to use actual Kingpin.

[@matthewstarkie4254]

Amazingly, he's only voiced by Keith David in his first episode, every time after that he's voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson. But Richardson does such a good impression, its practically impossible to tell.

[@li-limandragon9287]

@@VCRVoyage Spectacular Spiderman had great versions of all the villains, though New Animated Series Electro is the best version for me.

[@Zzzquil_Lord_v2]

Was waiting for them to mention that but VCR is right. He was never meant to be Tombstone but multiverse rule states not all versions of a character are created equal so he is a version of Tombstone even if he’s not traditionally Tombstone-esque. I think the Spider-Man games found a good middle ground, not exactly a conquer the city type of guy but also not just a hired goon and actually the leader of his own illegal chop shop operation. ***Minor spoilers for Spider-Man 2 PS5*** or at least, he was.

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.

SSS tier.

[@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.

[@li-limandragon9287]

@SirAsdf I feel like Green Goblin either movie or comic but especially movie GG destroys Cap in a fight. Steve has only ever fought dudes who are relatively sane, Norman is like the Joker if he could lift a truck.

[@thunderphoenix440]

Yeah, that's one of the biggest plusses in the Kingpin's favor. You slot him into pretty much any other Marvel hero's gallery (which they did with Daredevil) and he's still a massive threat.

[@Kjf365]

Green Goblin is really like Spider-Man's Joker. He could easily be a pain and a threat to other heroes, but he chooses to pick on Peter because he's his favorite.

[@TitanCrusher101]

I love how neither Vulture nor Chameleon are in the A-tier

[@gudmundur-heimisson]

With Kingpin as they say in the video he can also slot into a Lex Luthor like business villain role, so even for the higher level heroes he could still cause trouble even if he’s not a physical threat.

[@thescottishaccent]

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.

[@li-limandragon9287]

@thescottishaccent7952 People forget Rhino has fought goddamn Hulk and Juggernaut and given them both trouble he could probably kill Spidey if truly wanted and it's only through Peter's luck and Rhino's lack of commitment that he doesn't.

I’m not here to defend the movie, it was bad, but a script goes through so many hands once it’s done, i don’t think the blame falls on them

[@li-limandragon9287]

I think Green Goblin is a several degrees better than Ock no matter what, he hurt Spidey the most first by killing Gwen, in Dark Avengers/Thunderbolts he becomes a threat to the whole goddamn Marvel Universe like Doctor Doom and unlike Doom he's had a pheromonal live action portrayal thank to Willem Dafoe. Not to mention GG gets to be the best parts of Lex Luthor and Joker combined both being evil buinessman and cackling lunatic that just wants to cause chaos. Don't get me wrong Otto is great but I personally think he's too sympathetic be the ultimate nemesis and while everyone goes on about Superior Spider-Man if you put that aside he hasn't done that much while Norman despite being dead for years has done heaps of shit not just to Spidey but the everyone on Marvel Earth. No Way Home just puts the nail in the coffin for me.

[@ashb7]

You're making a solid point against your own opinion with your reasoning, if the best you can say about him is that it's scary when the Carnage symbiote takes over far better villains. Carnage isn't the Carnage symbiote + Doc Ock or anyone else, it's the symbiote + Cletus Kasady. And Cletus is the most one-dimensional villain of all time. Like his entire character is that he's a psychopathic serial killer who really enjoys killing. I like that he exists, it's fine to have a few villains who're just straight up evil, no BS. But he can't really be above B-tier for that reason.

[@thread6971]

One of my favorite scenes with Morbius is when he's fighting Blade for the first time. Blade's confused as to why none of his vampire hunting gadgets aren't working, and Morbius is convinced Blade's crazy because vampires do not exist. Another good one is an issue where he manages to get a disguise and goes to work at a hospital. He overhears someone talk about him, and hears that there is a TV movie based upon his life. He is baffled. Somewhere in Marvel cannon a made for TV movie of Morbius exists.

Its interesting hie prowler is so firmly recognized as a villain after spider-verse, yet he's been a hero for like 99% of his existence. Like he had so thoroughly reformed as a character that they barely referenced him as a criminal. Hawkeye was a villain for longer than him. ....this isnt a nitpick, i just genuinely find the reputation he has to be super interesting

[@JamesPlaysGames95]

Corn of Coblin and Mr Dinosaur would be a dangerous duo to face

[@jackkelly9048]

Norman as Green Goblin and Mysterio are my personal all time fave Spidey villains, great designs, deceptively simple concepts straight out of the 60s that have survived and changed over time while still being true to the original ideas, a great mix of campy and menacing if not actually psychotic, love em. Chameleon is underrated and underused in my opinion, similar strengths/deception concept to Mysterio without as bold a look, with more work put in he could stand his own.

[@li-limandragon9287]

Norman is the best and I liked him better than even Joker because he can be Lex Luthor as well. They could just do a Norman Osborn movie or series liek with Joker and it would do great.

[@anthonybehan6031]

My favourite thing about Spidermans villains is, he has so many who have insanely dangerous powers but they are just goons who want to rob banks.

[@nashmcbride1541]

Maso talking about carnage: yeah but whats he been in latley James: that movie! absolute carnage: Am I a joke to you??

[@Telorchid]

These lists are a lot of fun. Well done, mates. I disliked the inclusion of Mephisto on your list as I think he's just not associated with Spider-Man enough, but I LOVED that you included the people who came up with Brand New Day with Mephisto. 'By what in-universe mechanics should we reset Spider-Man's love life?' 'Deal with the devil?!' 'Great idea!' 🤡 Also would have placed Kingpin lower not because I don't like the character or because he has no association with Spider-Man - he originated in Amazing - but because at this point I feel like he belongs more to Daredevil (Into The Spider-Verse notwithstanding).

[@beepbooplettuce]

i agree with you on mephisto, the fact mephisto he is s tier as well doesnt sit right with me

[@BenM.Davies]

The mention of Corn of Coblin made me so happy, a running joke that never died.

[@lukelaws3545]

I believe there’s a comic where Kingpin organized an attack on Spiderman and almost killed Aunt May which leads to Spiderman almost killing Kingpin in prison in front of all the other criminals there. If you can push Spiderman to that dark of a place, think you may be a good villain. A good villain can bring out the worst in our heroes.

[@ciaranmcguinness8900]

That is Back in Black, it's set right after Civil War where Peter unveiled himself as Spider-Man publicly, obviously that went terribly and his enemies all now know who he is with Kingpin sending a sniper to take him out but the bullet hits Aunt May and he goes after Kingpin for revenge putting the Black suit back on for the first time in years. An actual Black suit not an alien symbiote but still it gives him such an intimidating look especially when he's mowing his way through Kingpins gang without cracking a single joke and eventually he almost kills Kingpin in front of his gang, it's an awesome story but unfortunately it's followed up by the Mephisto stuff which just put me off reading Spider-Man for good with how bad that crap was.

[@viscera_atrocity]

"What's [Carnage] done lately?" I wish he wasn't doing anything lately, by god. It's like we're back in the days of Venom-mania again.

[@nintendeonerd3103]

Tier list looks fine and good but, the deep emotional connection between lizard and Peter, how he's always so desperate to save him, makes him go higher in the list.

Hobgoblin and Tombstone are both made great by the cartoons they starred in.

[@marcprimo1471]

You’re putting the spot above Tombstone! Madness

[@Elnis888]

I'm really happy to see they included Morlun on the list, but I'm bummed he got such a low rating. I've only ever seen Morlun in the story where he was introduced: "Coming Home". MAN was he an awesome opponent in that story! The writers made him so threatening that I was legitimately fearing for Peter Parker's life! But a really fun video (as always) 🙂

I kinda love they put Mephisto in S-tier. Dude did one thing and irreparably damaged Spider-Man for going on 20 years now. That said he's still got nothing on the concept of Clones. The true bane of Spider-Man since 1994.

[@NateArchibaldWithTheFro]

The electro in the 2003 MTV animated series is really terrifying. I like a Spider-Man villain that can be silly or spooky as all hell depending on the version

[@tomlewis3561]

Remember the 90’s Spider-Man cartoon where Electro and Chameleon are brothers and for some reason Red Skull is their dad?

Kraven deserves S imo. He had one of the longest lasting PTSD type moments on Spider-Man after Goblin and Venom. Kravens last hunt is also a masterful execution of story telling.

We'll put Peters landlord on the list when he fixes that damn door!

[@ethanrapp6998]

I'd swap Electro and Lizard because even though Lizard has stronger motivations I think lightning powers are cooler and I enjoyed how Peter first beat him in the comics. Also I enjoy Hans Zimmer's Electro Suite, no other spider man villain has a cooler musical theme associated with them other than maybe Prowler. Other than that small change, perfect tier list.

[@li-limandragon9287]

Spider-Man New Animated Series (the CG one) had the best Electro, tragic and scary as fuck. Like the Fly meets Carrie but electricity.

[@GreaterGrievobeast55]

Condemn Lizard to C tier?? I'm afraid that just won't do! Dr connors has too much of an impact on spiderman lore, and I feel like his dynamic with spiderman was so cool it rivals his relationships with Doc ock or Green goblin.

[@bipstern]

So glad you acknowledged corn of Coblin

[@jonasquinn7977]

I always remember my first exposure to Tombstone was when he was used as a replacement for Kingpin in the Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon

If you want an S tier clip look up, Kingpin struggles to climb ladder. Its from the animated series and its hilarious. You're welcome.
