Spider-Man's other co-creator seemed to confirm half of the fan theory. Goblin being unmasked as soon as Ditko left the title led many fans to believe that Ditko was against Osborn being Green Goblin and that this was why he left. replaced Ditko with Amazing Spider-Man #39 which happens to be when Goblin's identity is revealed. That's the Osborn effect.Īmazing Spider-Man #38 was Spidey co-creator Steve Ditko's final issue as artist. Spider-Man doesn't just get his back broken like Batman he gets divorced and outed in the press and loses his job and revealed to not actually be the real Peter Parker. When things go sideways for Peter, everything's on the table - any friend or loved one could die, any secret could be unearthed, and every corner of his life will be affected. His villainy raised the stakes of the conflict in every way and this became a hallmark of the ongoing stories of Peter Parker. He was the father of Harry Osborn, Peter Parker's best friend. As Green Goblin, Norman Osborn was the first enduring Spider-Man villain plucked right from Peter Parker's social life. Most superheroes struggle between their personal and superheroic lives to some extent, but that conflict defines Spider-Man more than nearly any other comic book crimefighter. Without further ado, here's a complete ranking of every Spider-Man movie villain we've seen.Ģ1.First appearing in 1964's Amazing Spider-Man #14, Green Goblin was the villain who brought Spider-Man's "super" conflicts to a much more personal level. These villains span from utter classics to complete snoozes but that's OK, because we've always got a wise-cracking webslinger on the other end. And, so, when could be a better time to talk about the best and the worst of the baddies we've seen on screen?īelow, we get into many of the faces who've terrorized our various versions of Peter Parker (and Miles Morales) from both near (his enemies tend to be people he once thought of as friends) and far (there are also some randos in the mix with great power, comes great random aggression). But based on the trailers for the film, we can confirm that we'll be seeing quite a few of those villains again. Despite all the chatter out there about any of the Spideys, we can't confirm or deny. Perhaps you've also heard the rumors that we'll be seeing the faces of some Spider-Mans of past, too. Perhaps you've also heard that some familiar faces-faces that aren't so friendly-will be returning for that movie. Perhaps you've heard that a new Spider-Man movie, titled Spider-Man: No Way Home is coming. And part of that is because villains are just so, so important to the very fabric of what makes a Spider-Man movie great. And while most of them are entertaining, not all of them are excellent. If Spider-Man was truly nothing without his villains, all 10 of those Spider-Man films would be, well, excellent. In the last 20 years, we've gotten three different live action versions of Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland) who have all been varying levels of excellent, and an animated assortment of Spider-Mans (in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) that was just as good if not somehow better. Can I say something that's only, like, half-true? Spider-Man is nothing without his villains.
