First ones I think of are Crossbones & Electro.
 
Electro, and he had it, until Bendis made him self destruct.
 
villian?

(Amoments thought)

Proteus
Unus the untouchable

Despyre
Dorammuu's sister.

A true spiderman clone tweaked to be more Spiderman than Spiderman.
 
Before Civil War, I would have said Nitro, but now Electro definitely.
 
But Electro pwned Nate Grey. I'd say they demonstrated exactly how powerful he is.

Anyway, I say The Tracer has yet to be explored enough.
Also, Apacolypes. He's this yltra powerful mutant that has to deal with the xmen. Let him fight the avengers. Give him a challenge.
 
Apparently the X-Men do give him a challenge since they always beat him. He seemed pretty weak and lame overall towards the end of that last arc in X-Men. But I do agree that he hasn't exactly been used to his full potential. And the reason why he's always fighting the X-Men is because the only thing he's concerned with is mutant ascension. It wouldn't make a lot of sense for him to fight the Avengers. But he did for a short while in that last arc.There needs to be more of a reason than just putting the human race in danger for it to be interesting to me. A deeper reason...like he has when he fights the X-Men.
 
speed freak and zzzax,I also go for man thing.
 
I love Electro. But damn if the writers are inconsistent as hell with him. He's never been better than in "Light the Night" which highlights exactly why a man with his raw power limits himself to simple bank robberies. And frankly, in just about any incarnation he'd straight up rape the New Avengers. Goddamn, that was bull****.
 
Oh, wait... villain?

The Queen from the recent Spectacular Spider-Man #15.

I never actually see it as they defeat him. More like they thwart his plans.

That was a hyper-charged Electro who hasn't done much since.
As for Apocalypse, it's not that he hasn't had a real fight-it's that he hasn't accomplished anything in his 600 years on Earth. They had to go to an alternate reality to make something out of this guy!

Exactly what I was gonna say.

yeah, definitely, they have shown at least what electro is capable of....

making spidey beg like a baby is a great feat.

Herman Schultz!
Why is that? Why is he such a loser? He's got cool gadgets, he's obviously smart, & yet he always comes off as such a tool.:ninja:
 
As people have already said, Electro.
 
I was gonna say Electro to... but I guess there's no point :huh:
