There’s been a myriad of villains in the Spider-Man films. The best superhero films are the ones that pay equal weight to its villains, which is why the stylized Batman Returns and Spider-Man 2 have remained top-tier in the genre - and why Spider-Man: Homecoming is one of Marvel’s best films. For Doctor Octopus, it’s Spider-Man’s realization that he could have ended up using his intelligence for selfish gain. For Joker, it’s Batman’s realization that he is slowly spiraling into insanity.
A good hero is only as good as the villain they go up against, mostly because a great villain should provide a window into a darker side of the hero’s identity something they struggle with internally.
Casual fans are familiar with Batman and Spider-Man’s origins - dead parents and a radioactive spider - but many are also familiar with the origins of their villains. Green Goblin or The Joker? Doctor Octopus or The Riddler? Black Cat or Catwoman? Kingpin or Penguin? The thing most iconic superheroes share is that they have the best rogues’ gallery in comics.
