Art by Sean Chen. ( Click on the character 's face to identify the character 's name and to learn more about the character. ) Spider - Man is a fictional superhero in the Marvel Universe debuting in the anthology comic book series issue Amazing Fantasy # 15 ( August 1962 ) in the Silver Age of Comics published by Marvel Comics. After his debut he would get his own comic book entitled The Amazing Spider - Man. The comic book series would introduce many of what would become his major supervillain adversaries. Spider - Man would then be popular enough for more Spider - Man comic spinoffs ( The Spectacular Spider - Man, Marvel Team - Up, Web of Spider - Man, Peter Parker : Spider - Man etc. ) which introduced more recurring enemies of the web - slinger. As with Spider - Man, the villains ' powers originate with scientific accidents or the misuse of scientific technology and also tend to have animal - themed costumes or powers ( Vulture, Doctor Octopus, Beetle, Lizard, Rhino, Scorpion, Jackal and Black Cat ). There also are supervillains with the powers over the elements ( Sandman, Shocker, Electro, Molten Man and Hydro - Man ), some that are horror - themed ( the Goblins, Morbius, Morlun, and the Symbiotes ) some that are crime lords ( Kingpin, Tinkerer, Tombstone, Hammerhead, Silvermane and Mister Negative ), and some that are masters of trickery ( Chameleon and Mysterio ). These villains oftentimes form teams such as the Sinister Six to oppose the superhero. The rogues gallery of Spider - Man has garnered many positive reviews and has been considered as one of the greatest rogues galleries of all time by many alongside Batman 's rogues gallery.

The majority of supervillains depicted in Spider - Man comics first appeared in The Amazing Spider - Man, while some first appeared in spinoff comics such as The Spectacular Spider - Man and Marvel Team - Up and other titles. The Amazing Spider - Man debuts See also : List of The Amazing Spider - Man issues Most of the supervillains of Spider - Man would be introduced in The Amazing Spider - Man comic book starting with the Chameleon. The early villains would be introduced in the 1960s in the Silver Age of Comic Books, and created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. John Romita, Sr. replaced Ditko starting with the Rhino. Gerry Conway later replaced Stan Lee and helped create new adversaries for the web - slinger and also helped pave the way to the Bronze Age of Comic Books with the death of Spider - Man 's long time romantic interest, Gwen Stacy. Many collaborators would soon take over The Amazing Spider - Man title. One of the more popular examples included Todd McFarlane 's Venom in the Modern Age of Comic Books.

The certain comic book story inspired a comic book series entitled The Amazing Spider - Man which J. Jonah Jameson would appear in the first issue. All three of the characters listed appeared in the 1960s around the Silver Age of Comics. Human First appearance Detail Burglar Amazing Fantasy # 15 ( August 1962 ) The man who killed Peter 's uncle which would inspire Peter Parker to use his powers responsibly and become the superhero known as Spider - Man. Flash Thompson Amazing Fantasy # 15 ( August 1962 ) A sometimes enemy of Peter Parker instead of Spider - Man. Flash 's most common depiction is a high school bully of Parker commonly dubbing him `` Puny Parker ''. Despite how he treats Parker he happens to be one of Spider - Man 's biggest fans. Later on Flash would be depicted as being good friends to Peter instead. In The Amazing Spider - Man # 654, Flash Thompson becomes `` Agent Venom '' J. Jonah Jameson The Amazing Spider - Man # 1 ( March 1963 ) The editor in chief of The Daily Bugle. He has a strong hatred of Spider - Man so he helps turn the city against the superhero with the publishing of The Daily Bugle newspapers. He was also responsible for the funding of the creation of Scorpion, the Spider - Slayers, and the human fly. Lesser Foes Answer ( Aaron Nicholson ) Basilisk ( Basil Elks ) Black Fox ( Raul Chalmbers ) Chance ( Nicholas Powell ) Coldheart ( Kateri Deseronto ) Cyclone ( André Gerard ) Delilah First appearance The Spectacular Spider - Man # 414 ( August 1996 ) Created by Tom DeFalco and Mark Bagley Species Human Abilities Skilled at being an assassin. Further reading Delilah at the Comic Book DB Delilah at the Grand Comics Database Delilah first appeared in The Amazing Spider - Man # 414 by Tom DeFalco and Mark Bagley. The Rose 's confidante as well as his chief enforcer, Delilah helped battle to maintain control of part of the New York crime scene against the threat of the Black Tarantula. During her career, she had a role in the rebirth of two of Spider - Man 's old foes during the Rose 's efforts to gain extra muscle : she was the one who threw the switch of the electric chair which gave Electro his powers back, and helped set up the theft of Doctor Octopus ' corpse for re-animation from the Hand. She also appears in Loners as an assassin smuggling MGH. Spidercide First appearance The Spectacular Spider - Man # 22 ( March 1995 ) Created by Tom DeFalco and Sal Buscema Species Clone Abilities shapeshifting, molecular manipulation, same abilities of Spider - Man Aliases Peter Parker Spider - Man Freakface Further reading Spidercide at the Comic Book DB Spidercide at the Grand Comics Database Spidercide was a major antagonist in the `` Maximum Clonage '' story arc. He first appeared in The Spectacular Spider - Man # 222 by Tom DeFalco and Sal Buscema. He is depicted as an evil foil of Spider - Man, Ben Reilly, and Kaine. Introduced as a red herring to suggest the possibility of a third individual that was the original Peter Parker, he is one of the Spider - Man clones created by Jackal, to be Jackal 's enforcer and protector. However, Spidercide is actually a clone to Ben Reilly, who is a direct genetic duplicate of Spider - Man. He first appeared as a Peter Parker double emerging from one of the Jackal 's pods that initially an amnesiac but later believed himself to be the real Peter Parker, having been kept in stasis since the first Clone Saga. He claimed that both Peter Parker and Ben Reilly were his clones. However, upon meeting Parker, Reilly and Kaine, the Jackal 's programming kicked in and he went insane before shapeshifting into a freakish giant, therefore revealing his true status as a clone. In denial of the truth, he tried to kill the `` clones '' and to claim Peter Parker 's life as his own. He was even infatuated with Parker 's wife Mary Jane Watson and seeks to have her as his bride. Since their first encounter, Reilly realizes that Spidercide is twisted from the start and expresses disgust of his corrupted doppelgänger 's immorality, tauntingly refers him as `` Freakface '' once the villainous clone 's shapeshifting powers manifest. However, this also causes Reilly to be afraid of his and Parker 's capabilities for wicked if they allow themselves demoralize as Spidercide. The Jackal later modified Spidercide 's powers, granting him the unique ability to control his physical make - up on a molecular level ; he can alter his mass, density, shape and state at will similar to the symbiotes. He was killed off in Spider - Man : Maximum Clonage : Omega # 404 by being thrown off in the Daily Bugle. After Ben Reilly 's resurrection from his death, he briefly adapts a costume similar to Spidercide 's after he steal it from a cosplayer before returning to his own costume style.

Note : The common leader of the group is in bold. group name Original members Enforcers Montana Ox Fancy Dan Inheritors Solus Unnamed Matriarch Daemos Verna Karn Morlun Brix Bora Sinister Six Doctor Octopus Vulture Electro Sandman Mysterio Kraven the Hunter Spider - Man Revenge Squad Spot Grizzly Kangaroo II Gibbon Sinister Syndicate Beetle Hydro - Man Rhino Boomerang Speed Demon Archenemies Unlike well known rivalries in comics book depictions where heroes always still have more than one enemy but usually one archenemy ( e.g., Joker, to Batman in DC Comics, Red Skull to Captain America, Doctor Doom to the Fantastic Four and the Brotherhood of Mutants to the X-Men in Marvel Comics etc. ), Spider - Man is known to have three archenemies and it can be debated or disputed as to which one is worse : ^ Doctor Octopus is regarded as one of Spider - Man 's worst enemies. He has been cited as the man Peter might have become if he had n't been raised with a sense of responsibility. He is infamous for defeating him the first time in battle and for almost marrying Peter 's Aunt May. He is the core leader of the Sinister Six and has also referred himself as the `` Master Planner ''. ( `` If This Be My Destiny... ! '' ) Later depictions revealed him in Peter Parker 's body where he was the titular character for a while. ^ Norman Osborn using the alias as Green Goblin is Spider - Man 's archenemy. Mostly after he is responsible for setting up the death of Spider - Man 's girlfriend in one of the most famous Spider - Man stories of all time which helped end the Silver Age of Comic Books and begin the Bronze Age of Comic Books. He was thought to be dead after that but writers help bring him back from the 1990s and he returned to plague Spider - Man once more in the comic books ( such as being involved of the killing of Aunt May ) and other heroes ( such as the Avengers ). He is also an enemy of Spider - Man sometimes just as Norman and not just only as the Green Goblin. ^ Another character commonly described as archenemy is Venom. Eddie Brock as Venom is commonly described as the mirror version or the evil version of Spider - Man in many ways. Venom 's goals are usually depicted as ruining Spider - Man 's life and messing with Spider - Man 's head. Venom is also one of the most popular Spider - Man villains. This popularity has led him to be an established iconic character of his own with own comic book stories. In other media Main article : List of Spider - Man enemies in other media Reception Cosplay of Shocker, Rhino, Mysterio and Sandman Reaction to Spider - Man 's rogues gallery has been overwhelmingly positive with many journalists citing it as one of the greatest comic book rogues galleries of all time, with Batman 's rogues gallery being its most rivaled contender. Although editors such as The Hollywood Reporter 's Graeme McMillan felt that only Flash 's rogues gallery can compete with Spider - Man 's rogues. Kyle Schmidlin of What Culture ! described the superhero 's rogues gallery as `` one of the most colorful in comics '' explaining that Batman could only be debated as having a great number of enemies as good as Spider - Man. IGN staff editors, Joshua Yehl and Jesse Schedeen, described the Spider - Man villains as `` one of the most iconic and well - balanced in comics ''. They opined that the scope of their schemes, how cool their powers are, and how dramatically they have affected Spider - Man 's life is what makes the Spider - Man villains so great. Newsarama ranked Spider - Man 's rogues gallery as number one out ten as the greatest rogues gallery of all time. Themes George Marston of Newsarama explaining why he felt that Spider - Man rogues gallery was the best was the thematic elements that the villains of Spider - Man manifested. He explained that just like the superhero they have the same concept of science gone wrong. They are `` like him, great men with great minds, great power, and great determination. '' But instead they fail to use their powers responsibly. Separating the thin line between being a hero from being a villain. Notes ^ The Chameleon is the first member of Spider - Man 's rogues gallery in publication date. ( Excluding the Burglar ). He is also well known to be related to Kraven the Hunter and Kraven to him. That revealed relationship helped evolve him as a major villain compared to his original depiction of being just a solo villain in the original issue of The Amazing Spider - Man. ^ Besides being most notable as a Spider - Man supervillain. He has also been depicted as a Fantastic Four antagonist in Stan Lee and Jack Kirby comics books ( mostly due to being introduced as the original Frightful Four ) along with being on the heroic side ( being a Avengers member ) until being introduced as a tragic supervillain in the Spider - Man comics once again. ^ The character is also known as the member of the Frightful Four battling the Fantastic Four. He is also the first major Marvel villain to be written in publication history as battling Daredevil. Even being the founder and leader of the supervillain team that oppose him, the Emissaries of Evil. ^ Just like Electro. He has crossed over and been a major villain of Daredevil. In the storyline `` Guardian Devil '' he crossed into Daredevil 's territory almost pushing Daredevil to the edge ( just like what he is usually depicted as attempted to do in Spider - Man ) when Mysterio believes Spider - Man is a clone at one point. ^ Kraven the Hunter has been a recurring villain since his introduction as a Spider - Man villain. But what makes him stand out as one of the great Spider - Man villains along with being one of the memorable issues about the fictional villain in the Spider - Man comics is the critically acclaimed storyline, `` Kraven 's Last Hunt ''. ^ Not counting any other character in the mainstream Marvel Universe with that name. Only outside of the mainstream Spider - Man comics or in other media is there other Spider - Man villains ( that is n't named Mac Gargan ) that are antagonists of Spider - Man. Gargan is cited to be the fourth who is called that in the comic books but is the most iconic villain with that name. ^ The villain has crossed over with battling other heroes ( especially Hulk ) even though the fictional character is usually written off in Spider - Man comics. He is a major character in the storyline titled `` Flowers for Rhino '' ( Spider - Man 's Tangled Web ). An homage to Flowers for Algernon. ^ Despite first appearing in Spider - Man comic books, the Kingpin is more notable of being a Daredevil adversary. The character that represents the opposite of what Daredevil stands for. Despite this he is a major antagonist of both superheroes in the Marvel comic books just as recurringly. He also is a major recurring villain in the rest of the Marvel Universe crossing over as major antagonists to superheroes / antiheroes ( such as the Punisher ) in certain comic books of the many based universes of Marvel. ( PunisherMAX. etc. ) ^ `` The Six Arms Saga '' is the name of the storyline that debuted Morbius. ^ Miles Warren 's technical first appearance was revealed to be in The Amazing Spider - Man # 31 ( December 1965 ) created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko before being revealed as the Jackal. ^ Although she is listed with the supervillains as she sometimes is depicted in certain portrayals. The Black Cat is more regarded as a anti-heroine than fully supervillain. A character that struggles in between deciding good and bad... and the major femme fatale romantic interest for Spider - Man. Her key role of deciding between crime and having complicated relationships of Spider - Man makes her sometimes labeled as part with the rest of the major rogues gallery of Spider - Man. Nonetheless she has been a staple supporting Spider - Man character during her debut. ^ The Amazing Spider - Man # 299 is the first appearance of Eddie Brock as Venom. The alien costume debuted from The Amazing Spider - Man # 252 and the symbiote bonded to Spider - Man in Secret Wars # 8. Venom 's creators are determined by pre-alien costume by not counting the creators / designers of the alien costume, David Michelinie or Mike Zeck, or the Marvel Comics fan who originally though of the concept for the creators. ^ Cletus Kasady first appeared in The Amazing Spider - Man 344. Carnage is a major character in the popular storyline `` Maximum Carnage ''. ^ Despite standing out as his own independent character now. The Punisher was originally introduced as an antagonist of Spider - Man. See also Savage Six : Antagonists of Spider - Girl and Flash Thompson 's Venom similar to the Sinister Six. The Superior Foes of Spider - Man : A comic book series starring Spider - Man villains.
