10 Lamest Spider-Man Villains Ranked by How Embarrassing They Were

by

Spider-Man is known for having a huge collection of memorable villains, from the wildly unpredictable Green Goblin to the incredibly intelligent Doctor Octopus, who constantly push him to his limits. However, over the years, not all of his enemies have been intimidating. Some are simply silly and ridiculous, with laughable costumes and weak powers. Spider-Man often defeats these goofy villains easily, and they’re generally considered a joke by everyone in the Marvel universe – heroes and villains alike.

Here’s a list of the ten weakest and most ridiculous villains Spider-Man has ever battled throughout his years as a superhero.

10) Spidercide

“The Clone Saga” is a famously disliked Spider-Man story due to its confusing twists and the endless stream of new clones pretending to be Peter Parker. By the time the villain Spidercide appeared, convinced he was the *real* Peter, fans were frustrated. Despite Spidercide’s impressive powers – including super strength and the ability to change shape – he wasn’t a compelling character. Everything about him had already been done better by other villains like Scarlet Spider, Kaine, and Carnage. He felt like a weak copy created simply to extend the already overlong “Clone Saga.”

9) Gibbon

Okay, so there was this guy, Martin Blank, but everyone called him Gibbon. He was born looking… well, like a monkey, and nobody ever took him seriously. He tried *so* hard to be a supervillain, even making himself a monkey suit to try and impress Spider-Man! Can you imagine? Spidey just laughed at him, which, understandably, made Martin really bitter. He had super strength and was pretty agile, but honestly, he was never a real threat. Spider-Man would beat him almost without trying. It was kind of sad, actually. He ended up joining this team of really pathetic Spider-Man villains – they called themselves the Legion of Losers, and the Kangaroo was one of them! Eventually, Kraven the Hunter just… wiped him out with his Hunterbots. It’s a pretty tragic story, really – just a guy desperate for respect.

8) White Rabbit

Lorina Dodson traded a life of luxury to become a supervillain, taking inspiration from the White Rabbit in *Alice in Wonderland*. Though she tries to be a formidable threat with gadgets like exploding stopwatches and carrot-shooting umbrellas, she consistently fails. Her first attempt at crime – robbing a fast-food restaurant – ended quickly when Spider-Man and the lesser-known hero Frog Man easily stopped her. One of her most outlandish creations is a massive, machine-gun-equipped mechanical bunny that she rides into battle. With such a silly concept and equally ridiculous weapons, it’s not surprising that Lorina, despite her efforts, isn’t taken seriously as a villain.

7) Slyde

Spider-Man typically uses his webs to catch criminals, but Jalome Beacher, known as Slyde, developed a way to avoid being caught. He created a suit and special lubricant that make him incredibly slippery, allowing him to slide across surfaces with almost no friction. Slyde used this ability to rob banks and fund his research. While his suit lets him slide at speeds up to 30 mph, it wasn’t enough to escape Spider-Man. Slyde doesn’t have any other superpowers, so even a single hit from Spider-Man was enough to stop him.

6) Kangaroo

It’s surprising that two different criminals independently chose “Kangaroo” as their supervillain name! The first was Frank Oliver, an Australian kickboxer who learned to jump incredibly high after living among wild kangaroos. After Frank Oliver’s death, another criminal, Brian Hibbs, took on the Kangaroo persona. Brian wears a full kangaroo suit of armor, complete with a tail, ears, and a pouch. Uniquely, he hides a cannon *inside* his pouch. In a funny turn of events, when Brian tried to use this cannon against Spider-Man, Spider-Man webbed it up, causing it to explode right in the villain’s face!

5) Hypno-Hustler

Marvel boasts many iconic villains who have stood the test of time, but Antoine Delsoin, better known as the Hypno-Hustler, isn’t one of them. This villain is essentially an evil disco performer who uses hypnotic technology – goggles, a guitar, and even boots that spray anesthetic – to control audiences and rob them. He’s assisted by a backup group called the Mercy Killers. Everything about the Hypno-Hustler, from his outdated concept to his ridiculous, disco-themed weapons, is comical. He’s a bit like Disco Stu from *The Simpsons*, but as a clumsy, unsuccessful criminal. As a result, he’s mostly used now as a running gag.

4) Big Wheel

Jackson Weele, a criminal, drives one of the most ridiculous vehicles ever seen in comics. He hired the eccentric inventor known as the Tinkerer to create a vehicle that could challenge heroes like Spider-Man and Rocket Racer. The result was a massive wheel equipped with weapons like missiles, lasers, and robotic arms. However, it’s a terribly impractical design – it’s hard to steer and easily toppled. To make matters worse, Jackson isn’t a skilled driver. During his first attempt at villainy, he accidentally drove the wheel straight into the Hudson River. Though he survived the humiliating mishap and returned as a villain several times, he remains a joke among New York’s criminals.

3) Typeface

Typeface, whose real name is Gordon Thomas, is widely considered one of Marvel’s silliest villains. A former veteran and sign maker who lost his job, Gordon descended into madness and became a supervillain obsessed with letters. He literally drew letters on his face and built weapons shaped like them. Surprisingly, Spider-Man managed to talk him into becoming a hero, and for a time, he even teamed up with a sidekick named Spellcheck who was fixated on grammar. Unfortunately, Gordon’s heroic phase didn’t last long; he was killed by Venom during the *Civil War* event. It’s no surprise Marvel didn’t hesitate to remove this character from their stories.

2) Walrus

Hubert Carpenter, a heavyset janitor, accidentally gained walrus-like superpowers after his uncle used him in scientific experiments. He became the villain Walrus, initially battling the Defenders before becoming a clumsy, ineffective enemy of Spider-Man. Much like a walrus on land, Hubert is awkward and uncoordinated, unable to match Spider-Man’s speed and grace. Despite his strength, he’s easily defeated with a simple tap, and his costume, resembling something from a children’s arcade, makes him more comical than threatening. He’s a villain who consistently provides comic relief.

1) Wall

Joshua Waldemeyer, known as The Wall, is such a clumsy villain that he never even appeared in the main Marvel universe (Earth-616). Instead, he was featured in the Spidey Super Stories comic series set on Earth-57780. A lab accident fused him with a brick wall, turning him into a slow-moving, brick-and-cement creature. He caused trouble at a baseball game until Spider-Man stopped him. While incredibly tough, The Wall’s biggest weakness is that he lacks arms, making him a rather harmless foe. He can only fight by clumsily bumping into people. Though he only appeared once, his unique design and silly concept have made him a well-known, and often joked about, villain among Spider-Man’s less impressive adversaries.
