Favorite One-Shot Spider-Man villain?

Polestar. but I like Tremolo better.

The Gentleman(Gustav Fiers).
He was a villain in a series of Spider-Man novels. He had ties to Peter's parents. His brother(Karl Fiers)was the Finisher character in Amazing Spider-Man Annual #5.

Been meaning to find and read those novels.

Fiers also had a small role in the Mark Webb Amazing Spider-Man movies, too, if I recall.

Was she a one shot? I seem to remember she was in the first thunderbolts reboot.

she's appeared way too many times (was a member of the Thunderbolts for a good chunk) to be a one-shot, imo. but she was only in Spider-man's book for a few issues (mostly a Scarlet Spider villain).

I mostly refer to her as a one-shot in regards to her appearance in the Spider-Man books.

Having bought and read the second of the Sinister Six novel trilogy, I can tell you that Fiers is a pretty sick piece of work. spoilers:

He arranged for Peter's parents' deaths by selling them out as undercover agents to the Communist Red Skull for one dollar, then spent years torturously reconditioning an innocent girl that might or might not have been Peter's sister (before the Spider-Man OGN Family Business got in on that act) into his superhuman assassin, and that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to his crimes.

[Mister Mets]

The Spider-Man impersonator in Ultimate Spider-Man's Public Scrutiny story arc? Thought that was a really interesting tale.

Good choice.

Bart Hamilton. He was Harry Osborn's psychiatrist who found out Harry's goblin past and used that information to become the Green Goblin for personal gain. Love the story and even have it in TPB. As far as I know he was only in that story, where he died, and then just recently appeared in Clone Conspiracy as one of JackaReilly's resurrected villains.

He's probably one of the most referenced one-offs.

His impact is also interesting when you think about how Spider-Man spends the majority of the story thinking it's Harry.

Was Hamilton used in the newspaper comic strip? I seem to recall one story arc involving Harry (who was using the Hobgoblin mantle) causing trouble, and a pyschiatrist turned out to be using that for his own ends.
