Talk:List of Spider-Man enemies

I've moved the list of enemies on Spider-Man supporting characters to this page. It will need cleanup. --HKMARKS 18:33, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Added TWENTY-ONE more villains

Okay, added the missing villains from Maximum Carnage (Shriek & Doppelganger), the Great Game (Justin Hammer, Polestar, Joystick, and El Toro Negro), the Legion of Losers (Grizzly & Gibbon), Seperation Anxiety (Scream, Riot, Lasher, Phage, & Agony), Shadrac (Overdrive), Solo, Rocket Racer, Walrus, and the Marvel Scarecrow.

I also relisted the Stacy twins under the comprehensive list.

Twenty-one new ones...not bad huh? ;-)

---User:ScreenWriterJeb

Do the Stacy children really warrant being under the greatest foes list?

And any way, shouldn't Gabriel be listed under Grey Goblin?

Why doesn't this article come up on search?

Why does this article not come up when you plug "Spider-Man villains" into the search engine?

It depends what search engine you're using. It's a fairly new page and sometimes it takes a while for such pages to get indexed by search engines like Google. In addition, once they're indexed, more popular pages that have been around longer will show up earlier in the search results. Category:Spider-Man villains is the second Google result. Also, some search engines might just not index Wikipedia pages. In that case it won't show up at all.

If you didn't find it in the Wikipedia search function, though, you might have just misspelled something. It was the first result for me. -HKMARKS 03:10, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Cardiac

I remember a villain named "Cardiac" from one of the Spider-Man collectible card series. I think his power was to cause heart attacks. Was he just a one-shot or what? I remember I liked his costume: blue with white lines (reminiscent of EKG lines), and a cudgel. Can anyone help me out on this? --Newt_ΨΦ 16:03, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Nevermind, I found him here Cardiac (comics), but that article is new since I last checked. --Newt_ΨΦ 16:05, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Jack O' Lantern

Why is Jack O' Lantern listed as one of Spidy's greatest foes? The article on Jack himself proclaims that he was a small time villian. --71.109.37.168 23:19, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Two reasons, probably: one, the first (Jason Macendale) became the Hobgoblin and was definitely not small time, and the (Daniel Berkhart) became Mysterio, also not small time. Two: the page needs to be entirely reorganized. -HKMarks 02:51, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Cardiac merge

Per WP:WAF and WP:NOT. There's little more than plot summary in Cardiac (comics), which can be pared down to about a paragraph worth of information to add to the character's entry on this list. --Newt_ΨΦ 12:38, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Survey

• Condense and merge --Newt_ΨΦ 12:38, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
• Condense but don't merge --HKMarksTALKCONTRIBS 15:25, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
• Condense but don't merge --Mrph 10:16, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Discussion

• While I think this should be merged, it may be better to merge with Spider-Man supporting characters. --Newt_ΨΦ 12:43, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
• It should not be merged. If it's not clear if he's a villain or supporting character, he can't just be merged with one over the other. Also, he's been a Thunderbolt. Too much history for a merge. --HKMarksTALKCONTRIBS 15:25, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

There absolutely should not be a merge. This page is a list of Spider-Man villains, not a place to put in complete articles about them. Cardiac is already listed and linked. The idea that the two should be merged us a joke.Jayunderscorezero 02:33, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Added two

I just added Scorpion and Hydro-Man to the list. Anyone have any objections to those two? 22:17, 26 October 2006

Added a really bad one

The Fifth Avenue Phantom is probably the worst of the '67 animated series' villains.

Chance

There's a villain named Chance who fought Spider-Man in The Amazing Spider-Man #299 and #336. He's a mercenary and his name is Nicholas Powell.

Why are they There?

What are Doctor Doom, Black Cat, and Fortunato doing in their, or at the very least in the big tables? I mean, possibly Fortunato, and possibly Doctor Doom, but Black Cat?--Mullon 05:20, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Whats up with the photos?

Off the top of my head... Vulture--Surely we can find a better one than the beaten up version from Civil War
Sandman--Can we find one where he's not melting?
Lizard--WTF? Is this even Curt Connors's lizard?
Doctor Octopus--Why is Doc Ock from a different continuity here?
Rhino--Why is Rhino from a different continuity here?
Green Goblin II--Why in God's name is the movie version here?
Venom--It should be pretty obvious what I'm going to say here.

I'll attempt to change it later...but is it so hard to find ones from the 616 universe, which is what this article is about?--CyberGhostface 01:13, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Morbius the Living Vampire

is Morbius the Living Vampire a villain, because in its article it says he is an anti-hero, so shouldn't he be removed from hereGman124 14:23, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

no it's not a list of spidey's villains. It's a list of spidey's enemies. If it were a list of villains then we'd need to take Venom away too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.98.227.10 (talk) 12:20, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Cleanup needed

The "complete list" probably should go. I don't see how it's useful in the long run. The made-for-tv list probably should go. Either could be cleaned and condensed I suppose, but as of now: it's a cluttered list mess. RobJ1981 06:07, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Aren't there ANY female Spider-Man villains?

Or is the daughter of the burglar the closest the series gets? 68.219.105.76 02:04, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Nope, there's quite a few actually. Most notable are Shriek and Calypso, but there's also Scorpia, White Rabbit, Stunner, Delilah, and a few others. Nyssie 02:12, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Don't forget Lady Octopus and the new, from-the-future Hobgoblin. Notthegoatseguy 21:22, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Ben Parker's killer & Spider-Man 3

(1) Why talk about the novelization of Spider-Man 3 now that the actual film has been released? (2) In the Spider-Man 3 version of events, there is no speculation as to whether or not Marko/Sandman killed Uncle Ben. The man confessed to Peter's face. 165.230.68.206 22:06, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Also regarding Spider-man 3, they display the burglar's full name on screen. I believe it is Dennis Carradine. Surely this is as worthy of notice as is the mention from the video game where his name is identified as "Spike".24.192.245.240 23:57, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Alistair Smythe and Scorpion

Alistair Smythe is put in the wrong place. He first appered in ASM ANNUAL 19 (mid 80's) and should be between Hobgoblin and Venom, not from the 1960's! Also why use a Venom Scorpion picture?

Okay i've put Alistair in the right place. We still need a new picture for Scorpion and how about an entry for Spencer Smythe and the Enforcers?

Morlun?

I haven't read Spiderman in a few years, so I've missed this Morlun fellow, so I'm just curious if he actually qualifies among the likes of the hobgoblin, mysterio, and Venom.... If such a recent one is going to be used, why not someone like Kane from the clone saga, or

Also, why are both Harry and Norman Osborn listed seperate, but none of the later Green Goblins or other Hobgoblins are seperately listed. The second Venom (who lasted how many appearances before the symbiote got bored of him) is listed as a minor... Odd? And "Ringer" or "Armada"? Are these really notable members of Spidey's Rogues? There have to be a number of more memorable and more often appeared villains in Spidey books. TheHYPO 03:36, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Have to agree. Harry as the Green Goblin is much more than someone else taking on the same costume et al of another villain (as with Tarantula, Hobgoblin and others) - a key part of the conflict is the posthumous (as we thought at the time) influence of Norman. Will make the change now. Timrollpickering 00:07, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Hyrdo-Man and Macendale (Hob Goblin II)

They might be considered main villians. Hydro-Man would likely be a choice for the sinister 6 if they were to do another movie. And Macendale portrayed the Hob Goblin in the cartoon series which consenquently is the Hob Goblin the general public remembers.

Villain entry that needs fixing

I removed a section from the "Minor Villains" section that was majorly screwing with the formatting. Here's the original entry:

R-boy|mega threat (comics) after the young boy of 12 years old was hit by toxic barrels that carried negetive energy, Ricky Pannaman found him self in the same state as Daredevil, blind. he later learnet he could shoot webbing from his wrist, sight like Daredevil, make his knuckles flame when putting his hands into the rock on posistion, enhanced strengh and speed, morph into any animal of his choice and make his soul come out of his skin leaving his body in a frozen state and taking control of his soul. His soul can fly and pass through solid objects

And here's a cleaned-up version:

"Ricky Pannaman was only twelve when he was hit by barrels containing negative energy, which blinded him. Later, he learned he had gained various powers, including enhanced strength and speed, the ability to shoot webbing from his wrist, the ability to see like Daredevil, the abilty to make his knuckles flame when putting his hands into the "rock on" position, the ability to morph into any animal of his choice and the ability to leave his body in a ghostly form, leaving his body in a frozen state. In his ghostly form, he can fly and pass through solid objects."

Personally, I think it sounds like somebody's fantasy. But if it's real, it can be re-added.

Questions

Couple of symbiote related questions:

• Why isn't scream listed in the minor villains section? She's had more apparences than most of the other villains in that section.
• Why is Venom 2 listed on the minor villains table? He was only in one issue and hen died. He shouldn't be on a table
• Menace is listed as one of spider-man's greatest foes... He hasn't even appeared yet. What's the dealio?

Morbious over Macendale?

Morbious a major villian? Thats pushing it, I'd include Morlun, Hydro-Man, and definetly Macendale before Morbious. When peopel think of Hob Goblin most people think of Macendale. Are you serious? Morun before Morbius? That's radiculous. Morbius has been a recurring spider-man villain since 1971. Morlun lasted 5 years and was killed. No way should he be classed as a major villain ifmorbius is not.80.5.140.139 (talk) 15:49, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
