You were Spider-Man then. You and Peter had agreed on it. But he came back right when you started feeling comfortable.
You know what it means when he comes back.
"You're not the better one, Peter. You're just older."

I actually like it.
It's led to some good stories, and kept things changing.
A problem with the villain was that many of the stories kept repeating the same beats, so something was needed to get him out of that rut. That something took a few dark turns, but they have managed to avoid breaking the character.

Agreed....and the sad thing is the most recent one on the list to be created was over 400 issues ago!!!!!

There are multiple difficulties.
You need to find new roles for the new villains. Venom has staying power partly because he was a bigger, nastier doppelganger, and no other villain did that as well.
It helps if other writers are willing to use them, but this might not happen if they've been waiting twenty years to tell their Rhino story, or to introduce their own bad guys.
Modern storytelling pushes for permanent endings for certain stories, so some of the best recent villains were killed off by their authors (Fusion was killed off by Paul Jenkins in a Thor mini-series of all places; Massacre was killed by Superior Spider-Man) because that's something they can't do with an A-lister.
