From Green Goblin to Mysterio, there have been twelve villains across the many Spider-Man movies but which looked the worst and best on film?

Thanks to directors Sam Raimi, Marc Webb, and Jon Watts, there have been three different Spider-Man variants across three different franchises. Now with Spider-Man: No Way Home on the horizon, all three versions will collide in a multiverse event that has fans clamoring for its release.

With seven different Spider-Man movies, there came twelve villains with different designs and costumes to go along with their characterization. Some of these designs have become iconic pieces of Marvel cinematic history, while others left a lot to be desired.

12 Green Goblin – The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)

Green Goblin was changed from Norman Osborn to Harry Osborn in this Spidey sequel. It is the result of a rare genetic disease that gives the victim Goblin-like features such as pale green skin, claws, and disfiguration of the skin. A neat concept when first presented but the execution is another story.

In the already overpacked climax of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Harry injects himself with the spider venom to keep himself from being killed by the disease. The result is a very lackluster design that felt as if it was thrown together last second with a well-designed armored suit and glider that should have been used for a better Green Goblin.

11 Venom – Spider-Man 3 (2007)

Many agreed that despite Topher Grace being a talented actor, he was a miscast for Eddie Brock. This is why fans were not fond of how Venom kept peeling his face back to reveal Topher Grace with sharp teeth in the climax of Spider-Man 3.

Venom himself was also a disappointment due to being a third of the size fans expect him to be, the teeth he’s famous for are barely ever shown, and his body is more akin to a modified Spider-Man suit than a symbiote. Thankfully, fans were given a much better representation of Venom with many great quotes in the 2018 movie.

10 New Goblin – Spider-Man 3 (2007)

Other than using hand-me-down gadgets from his father and using a glider, not much about Harry Osborn’s New Goblin in Spider-Man 3 resembles a Green Goblin. In fact, with the mask, goggles, and the design of the glider, he looks closer to a pro-snowboarder.

Besides that, there is nothing all that egregious about the design and costume, it just comes off as bland. However, the design did return in the Spider-Man video game known as Spider-Man: Friend Or Foe. So in a way, it did leave an impact.

9 Shocker – Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

Both Logan Marshall-Green and Bokeem Woodbine put their unique stamp on the Shocker moniker in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Where they lack is in the overall design since they never really get to look like Shocker. Granted, the Shocker does feature a very silly design but so do so many other villains who got great cinematic costumes.

The most they get to wear is a yellow hoodie with a diamond pattern, which is a nice touch. Unfortunately, they only get to wear one shock gauntlet when the character is famous for wielding two. Unless the character returns with an upgrade, Shocker comes off as a prototype version of Shocker rather than the actual villain.

8 Green Goblin – Spider-Man (2002)

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man was a huge sensation that helped kickstart a Golden Age of comic book movies that fans still live in today. However, that doesn’t mean it hasn’t aged poorly in some aspects and one of those is the design for Green Goblin.

These days, the costume is often mocked by fans mainly because of the mask. The open mouth and clearly plastic finish of the mask which combined with the less-than-stellar bodysuit made Green Goblin look akin to a villain from a Power Rangers show. Despite Willem Dafoe’s now-iconic performance, the design just doesn’t do the actor justice.

7 Rhino – The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)

On the surface, the design for Rhino is not bad. It’s an exo-suit that resembles a Rhino and fits the more technological take on the Spider-Man mythos that The Amazing Spider-Man was known for. That being said, it still could have been better with more of an attempt to mix humanoid aspects to the suit.

The biggest issue with the design is mainly the screen time and marketing. The posters and trailers had fans believing that Rhino would be a major part of the film. Instead, the entirety of Aleksei Sytsevich in the Rhino suit is saved for a five-minute cameo at the end to set up his return in a sequel that never happened.

6 The Lizard – The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)

From the neck down, the Lizard represents the comic design rather well with a bipedal reptilian design with green skin, a long tail, and even the famous labcoat in some scenes. The CGI itself is praise-worthy as well with each scale and blemish in the Lizard’s design visible in each scene.

Where fans tend to be divided on the design is the Lizard’s face. Rather than a long snout, The Amazing Spider-Man went to the character’s first appearance and gave him a flat face with reptilian features. It’s easy to see why some fans may like or dislike it but as a whole, the design of Lizard itself is far from bad.

5 Electro – The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)

Rather than the silly version of Electro with a giant star on his face, the Jamie Foxx version from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 takes inspiration from the Ultimate Spider-Man comics. Electro has blue skin made from pure energy and he wears two different costumes.

The first is a simple black hoodie and pants that help Electro’s blue glow pop and is the better design. However, in the final act, Electro wears a fancy new stylized suit that seemingly appears out of nowhere. It does the job fine for Electro but it isn’t the most memorable villain design.

4 Doc Ock – Spider-Man 2 (2004)

Alfred Molina as Doc Ock from Spider-Man 2 has a design that is a simple one but it reflects the comic just enough to be effective in a semi-realistic world. His goggles are replaced with rounded sunglasses, he wears a dark green trenchcoat, brown suit underneath, and a fedora briefly.

Again, it’s simple but effective in giving Alfred Molina a unique look that became an inspiration for designs in comics, TV shows, and video games alike. Then there are the tentacles that are brought to life via a proper mixture of CGI and practical effects with the two pairs of tentacles providing different purposes which lead to dynamic uses.

3 Sandman – Spider-Man 3 (2007)

Thomas Haden Church was a panel to screen accurate representation of Flint Marko from the striped green shirt to the flat top hairstyle. Combined with the many sand constructs and forms he creates, Sandman was a perfect mix of realistic and comic book designs. Some would even argue that Sandman was the best villain in the Spider-Man trilogy.

Sandman was sadly overshadowed by two other villains when he should have been the primary threat. Thanks to still impressive visual effects, Sandman was brought to life perfectly. One of the most commendable scenes comes when Sandman first rises in his sand form: the attention to detail on him is nothing short of stellar.

2 Vulture – Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

The character of Vulture has a design that’s rather over-the-top, but rather than try to do that comic design, Jon Watts updated it to fit within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He wears a green leather uniform that is decorated with an exo-skeleton with mechanical wings, similar to Falcon’s suit.

He wears a modified pilot’s helmet that almost resembles a bird head and his jacket features a fluffy collar similar to that of an actual vulture. It keeps all of the elements that can help fans recognize him as a Vulture while implementing enough updates to seem somewhat believable. It was one of many reasons why Michael Keaton’s Vulture became one of the MCU’s best.

1 Mysterio – Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)

There are many layers as to why Mysterio’s design works in Spider-Man: Far From Home. First, it looks straight out of the comics with the bubble-like helmet, eye-centric armor, and flashy cape that fits Mysterio’s theatrical style. There is a lot of details in the overall design that is commendable but that’s just the beginning.

Being a big showman trying to create the illusion of a superhero, Mysterio mixes elements of Doctor Strange and Iron Man into one. However, later on, Quentin Beck wears what is essentially a motion capture suit and he projects his suit onto it which fits into both the villain’s showman gimmick while also acting as a satire of how many superhero suits are portrayed through mocap these days.
