message: 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)

message: 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?

thread_title: Ben Parker's killer & Spider-Man 3

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)
thread_title:  Morlun? 

message: 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.

thread_title:  Hyrdo-Man and Macendale (Hob Goblin II)

message: 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.

message: 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?

message: 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)

thread_title: Venom, a villain?

message: I believe the article Menace (comics) should be merged into this list. The article describes a new character who is not notable outside the fantasy world as of yet. If he becomes notable in the following years, then it won't be an issue to split the article out agin, but most characters do not make it to notable. Until then, this article an others like it are better served in a singular article that lists ALL the enemies, and have redirects when proper. --- Paulley (talk) 17:15, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: it works for the other fifty villains on the list especially as this character has yet to appear outside this one comic or interact with any other leading superheroes.. he is as tis article name suggests just a Spider-Man enemy. --- Paulley (talk) 10:27, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Major vs Minor 

message: *nomination  - This is minor a throwaway character that only appeared in one issue of the Amazing Spider-Man, an no subsequent appearances; in addition the character was a henchman to the Taskmaster (not the featured villian in the issue, he was a henchman to the henchman of the storyline). Too minor of a character even to be considered a minor character, I pose a redirect to enemies with a brief line detailing his appearance and Bagley's art. -Sharp962 (talk) 03:08, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Vulture & Viagra 

message: This article was re-written to comply with Wikipedia's standards. However, only a select group of villains were added back into the article, with the majority of the lesser known characters left out. A fairly large amount of time has passed and the editor who re-wrote the article hasn't made any effort to add the rest of the characters back into the article. Seeing as this is a list of ALL of Spider-Man's villains and not just a select few that are deemed notable by editors, we need to begin adding the rest of the characters back into the article (albeit in the article's new format and with citations).

message: This character didn't become robot-master until 1982. #37 was his character's debut appearance. If we are adding villains by their debut appearance rather than their alter-ego appearance then don't you think jackal's first appearance should be when Dr. Milen Warren debuted in 1960s?

thread_title:  Lesser foes 

message: Just wanted to drop by and say how happy and appreciative I am that the editors of this page made this section. So many times I go to pages looking for a particular character and the list is 50-100 names deep. It makes it extremely hard to find what I'm looking for. Common sense states that 95% of the people browsing a "Spider-Man Enemies" wiki page are looking for one of the two dozen villains listed in the "central rogues" section. So many other pages need to do this, especially those for video game & anime franchises that all 20+ years old. This was a great idea, and I shall be trying to copy it and instigate it into other wiki's. Great job guys!
I noticed the list was capped at 18, which I thought was an odd number. So I added Jackal & Hydro-Man to the central rogues list to cap the number at an even 20. I also legit think those two qualify, and honestly Hydro Man should be the benchmark for what is or isn't allowed within this category. Anyone less notable than Hydro-Man goes to the category below, and if a character can make the case that they are more notable than Hydro-Man then they can be added to the section. If anyone disapproves then feel free to move them back down.
PopCultureSuperHero (talk) 19:27, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: That is not a legit reasoning. That’s more like an OCD reasoning to worry about even and odd placement. Do you have sources to prove that these villains could qualify any more/less than Hammerhead, Tombstone, Spider-Slayers and Prowler just to name a few? This is why I removed central rogues a while back. It’s too subjective. Jhenderson 777 13:05, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
