"Flash.Spider-Man has hands down the WORST group of villains in comics.If you honestly think Rhino, Vulture, Sandman, Venom, Carnage, 80 goblins and Doctor Octopus are the best group of villains in comics, you should shoot yourself in the head."

So you named a few villains who are "bad". And honestly they aren't that bad. Sandman is a serious threat and so is Carnage and Venom.He still has Morlun, Norman Osborn, Harry Osborn, Mr. Negative, Kingpin, Lizard, Venom(Eddie), Mysterio, etc.Are you telling me Batman or the Flash don't have terrible villains?"

I think the thing about most of the Spider-man villains is that they are stupid, can't work together and usually you just have to beat them up, Batman rogues usually have big plots and flash rogues team-up very nicely, so they became more dangerous. Look at Osborn is great because he's using his brains instead of just robing banks."

Doctor Octopus, Mysterio, Alistair Smythe, Norman Osborn/Green Goblin, Roderick Kingsley/Hobgoblin, Chameleon, Vulture, Kraven, Kingpin, Jackal, Lizard, Beetle and many other Spider-Man villains are far from stupid, they're actually brilliant and they've also hatched big plots against Spider-Man in the past. Groups like the Sinister Six and the Sinister Syndicate prove that the Spider-Man villains can work together."

Sorry.  I guess I wasn't clear.  I didn't mean Spider-Man has weak villains.  I mean he has boring villains.  Wheres Carnage's character depth?  Wheres the Lizard's motivation?  What's the coolest thing the Sandman has ever done?  When was the last time somebody wrote a good story with Harry Osborn as the villain?These villains Suck with a capital SNorman and Kraven aside, there are no truely interesting Spider-Man villains.Contrast this with Batman, who faces characters like Joker, Promethius, Hush, and Two-Face.  Hell, even losers like the Mad Hatter and the Penguin have more character depth than Spidey baddies.Same goes for the Flash.  His main enemies like the Reverse Flashes, Captain Cold, Weather Wizard and Mirror Master are all very interesting as people.  Sure, there are some bad ones as well but at least they have character motivation beyond "Kill Spider-Man!""

I agree with Zoom. Spider-Man has the best rogues.

"I agree with Zoom. Spider-Man has the best rogues."

Batman, between all of his books if he has 100 readable stories, that's a lot. Any marvel hero would destroy batman's rogues.

How about we discuss who shouldn't even be an option on that poll? Namely Iron Man. Does he even HAVE a rogues gallery?

Point being, Stark's been around about as long as Spidey and has maybe two or three villains that people actually care about. Meanwhile Spidey has like... What? Twenty? I could probably name that many Spidey rogues off the top of my head. Probably more.

Batman's #1.

Spiderman's second place.

In addition, Iron Man also has Madame Masque, Spymaster, Ezekiel Stane, Whiplash, The Ghost, Firebrand, Blizzard, Whirlwind, Count Nefaria, Dreadknight, Grey Gargoyle, Living Laser, Melter and Radioactive Man. The heavy hitters usually consist of the Mandarin, Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, Justin Hammer and at some point Ezekiel Stane. The problem with the Iron Man rogues is that they some of them are outdated and the others are often used in small doses thus causing their recognition to falter. I think all of the ones I've listed could work if they were depicted in a serious format but I also think it's crucial that someone creates new and formidable adversaries for Iron Man in the future."

Count Nefaria is more of an Avengers Rogue in my opinion"

"Batman's #1.Spiderman's second place."

either supermans, xmens, or batmans
i only like an couple villains from the spidey rogues like venom green goblin carnage hobgoblin and thats it

Venom became a supervillain because he lost a job as a photographer.

2nd worst reason to become a criminal ever.

The only good villains Spider-Man has are the Green Goblin (not the 50 goblin clones, just the original), Kraven the Hunter and the Kingpin and the last of those is much better as a Daredevil villain.

Batman, maybe

Flash, Batman, Spiderman, or The Green Lantern for best.
 
Iron Man has the worst.

Batman, followed by X-Men. GL has a pretty cool gallery as well. Supermans definatly have establishment.
also Spider-mans, immensly popular characters, and if nothing else just so Zoom can quote me and continue
his campaign.

jesus christ its like an all out war with you two

" Batman, followed by X-Men. GL has a pretty cool gallery as well. Supermans definatly have establishment. also Spider-mans, immensly popular characters, and if nothing else just so Zoom can quote me and continue his campaign. "

The War of the light has done wonders for GL's rogues but still can't compete with Batman, Flash, or X-men.

GL's gallery is pretty iffy..well it used to be, until they added atrocius and Larfleeze. Sinestro used to be the only solid Rogue hal had. "

Star Sapphire, Black Hand, Hector Hammond, Manhunters. More recently: Hank Henshaw, Superboy Prime, Amon Sir. "

SBP isn't mainly a GL villain though....at least not IMO. "

Yea I was thinking Mongul II, but forgot to say it while I was protesting SBP's inclusion among the GL villains...I still don't know thatd be like sying the Anti-Monitor is a GL villain.

I was referring to the Sinestro Crops. War
