    Default Who Has The Worst Rogues Gallery

    We all know that Spiderman has what could be the best Rogues Gallery in comics (Aside from Batman). But I wanted to see who you think has the worst one.

    For me I would have to say Daredevil. With Foes like Leap Frog, The Jester, The Matador.

    Most of his Rogues come from other heroes. Like Electro, Ox, And The Kingpin.

    His only good original villain Is Bullseye.

    It kind of kills the enjoyment of his early comics when is foes are so lame.

    So who do you think has the worst rogues gallery?

    Iron Man. Hands down. No contest.

    Doctor Strange, Thor, Captain America, T’challa all have better rogues than him.

    I would say it is just filled with underrated villains like Blacklash.

    The better question is, who has the worst FEMALE rogues gallery? 'Cuz for how popular and beloved Spidey's rogues gallery is, he sure is slacking on A-List female baddies.

    Iron fist technically has a rogue's gallery on Wikipedia but the only recurring rogue is Davos.

    Thor and the X-Men have the best female villains.

    Thor has - Hela, Enchantress, Lorelei, Female Loki.
    X-Men has - Mystique, Destiny.

    Mystique in fact is the most frequently appearing female Marvel villain.

    Spider-Man doesn't. Black Cat is an anti-heroine, as is Silver Sable.

    To think that Venom was originally conceptualized as female.

    I think some of Spidey's underutilized women villains have potential though: Paper Doll, Stunner, Slasher, Verna of The Inheritors, the Kravinoff women and Screwball (but she's currently a good guy in Mary Jane's solo title).

    Web of Spider-Man #1 Apr 1985
    "Til Death Do Us Part!"
    This story continues from Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man #100...

    Peter Parker has just ended his relationship with the Black Cat.
    Deciding to go out as Spider-Man, Peter can't shake the feeling that something is out to get him.
    Distracted by the sound of his neighbors giving up on sun-tanning, he doesn't see that
    his old alien costume has returned and disguised itself as one of his red and blue costumes.
    Ironically, he thinks about how the costume almost bonded had it
    not been for the help of Reed Richards removing it from his body.
    As he prepares to put on his web-shooters, Peter catches his reflection in the mirror
    and is horrified to see the symbiote reveal itself and cover his entire body.

    Meanwhile, on the Lower Eastside, a gang of thugs robs an elderly woman of her social security money.
    One member, a jittery man named Pigeon, questions why they mugged the woman
    since they have been able to complete a bank robbery with their new wings.
    His pals, Sugar Face, and Gripes aren't overly concerned with Pigeon's worries,
    even if their leader, Honcho, is upset that they are late for their meeting.

    When they catch up with Honcho, he is furious that they are late and figures out that they mugged someone.
    He warns them that such attention will bring Spider-Man down on them,
    as they have all been captured by the wall-crawler in the past.
    However, Honcho hopes to change things since his stint in prison.
    An engineer by trade, he befriended the Vulture
    and charmed the notorious super-villain enough to learn the secrets of his wings.

    Having created them all flying suits, Honcho and his friends have become
    the Vulturions to make it rich and get revenge against Spider-Man.

    Back at Peter Parker's apartment, Spider-Man struggles to try and get outside
    and to Mister Fantastic, but the alien symbiote fights him the whole way.
    A few blocks away, Mary Jane Watson runs into Peter's Aunt May while out shopping.
    May is surprised to hear that Harry and Liz Osborn are having a baby, as she and Peter aren't talking presently.
    May explains that she is still mad at Peter for dropping out of college.
    Mary Jane tries to speak in Peter's defense, but Aunt May still can't accept that Peter is giving up on being a scientist.
    Mary Jane notices that Aunt May is interested in a hat, but May decides against buying it because she doesn't have the money.

    Elsewhere, Spider-Man continues to struggle to free himself from the symbiote, but it continues to resist him.
    Eventually, the web-slinger is spotted by one of the Vulturions who heads back to alert the others.
    With the costume keeping him from going to the Baxter Building, Spider-Man
    realizes that the symbiote can read his mind, and that's how it keeps tripping him up.

    Gripes notice this and nabs the wall-crawler, thinking him insane when Spider-Man tries to explain that he is fighting his costume.
    Gripes rejoins his teammates. As they fly across the city, the approach a nearby church.
    Spider-Man begs the symbiote to stop fighting him, otherwise, the Vulturions will kill them both.
    Much to his relief, the symbiote stops fighting him

    and he manages to incapacitate all the Vulturions except for one.
    When he struggles to figure out how to get rid of the Symbiote he
    hears the church bell toll and realizes the sound could destroy the alien.
    Hearing his, the symbiote starts fighting him again.
    However, Spider-Man manages to wreck the Vulturion's wings and force a crash landing in the belfry.

    The sound of the ringing bells is overpowering. As the last Vulturion flees, Spider-Man
    stays behind, resisting the pain of the loud bells in the hopes it will force the symbiote off him.

    Thinking he is going to die, Spider-Man can't stop thinking about his Aunt May,
    and doesn't want to die without reconciling with her, as well as unresolved feelings for Mary Jane.
    Suddenly, the symbiote separates itself from Peter's body and tries to flee.
    However, the symbiosis between Peter and the alien being had filled the
    creature with love for Peter Parker and it risks its life to drag Peter to safety.
    With Parker safe, the creature strokes his face one last time before seemingly crumbling to bits.

    NOTE: The Web of Spiderman series essentially replaced the Marvel Team-Up title as Marvel's third regular series featuring Spider-Man.

    It is hard to have female villains if your a male hero. I can just hear the uproar from "that crowd" if month after month you had Spider-Man smacking women in the face while making wisecracks. You know it is true. Spidey would be the poster boy for toxic male abuse of women on blogs all over the internet.

    I've felt for decades(I'm 43) that Iron Man has a weak set of top tier villains. It stands out even more so the past decade given his rise in pop culture status where he's no longer just a comic A-lister but media A-lister thanks to the films.

    Mandarin
    Iron Monger

    After that it gets very weak. Ghost should be a top tier Iron Man foe but he's not.

    Edit: ah, I took too long to type. Two votes for Iron man right out of the gate.
