Which Superhero has the BEST and WORST gallery of Villans?

[JJJ's Ulcer]

I would argue that Spidey has a more eclectic and diverse rogue gallery than Batman. Batman's are mostly colorful and interesting psychopaths with unique twists. But Spidey has alien costumes, deranged clones, energy vampires, great-game hunters, etc. Not to mention the classic Lee/Ditko villains which mainly took their motifs from animals like lizards, scorpions, vultures, chameleons, octopuss, etc. Batman has great villains, but he just has less of them it seems. I can count his main villains on two hands, and they're always the ones recurring. Outside of those dozen or so awesome Batman villains, the rest kinda suck (Calendar Man?). Spidey has about thirty or forty great villains before you start getting to the sucky ones. Sorry, Spidey wins.

I don't know which is better for a film...Angle Man or the Lesbian Street Gang.

Sorry, I have this thing called a life.

Sorry, I have this thing called a life.

Oh really?

Because, you know, I thought you were just talking out of your ass by trying to make some point that Spidey has better villains because he has 30 or 40 great villains. Sorry, my apologies

As an egg, I find that racist!

You wouldn't complain if they cast Ben Kingsley as the egg.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

You wouldn't complain if they cast Ben Kingsley as the egg.

that would be one compelling egg.

What's the point? Even if I listed forty you'd just tell me half of them sucked anyway. I have a different opinion than you. Learn to accept that and move on.

Here, just for you because you've been such a gentleman... Carnage, Venom, Morlun, Lizard, Green Goblin (Norman), Green Goblin (Harry), Hobgoblin, Molten Man, Vulture, Kraven, Kaine, Jackal, the Tinkerer, Kingpin, Scorpion, Dr Octopus, Sandman, Electro, Puma, Mysterio, Morbius, Mr Negative, Alistair Smythe, Jackal, Shocker, Trapper, Looter, Carrion, Vermin, Jack O'Lantern, Sin-Eater, Tarantula... are we done?

I love Spidey but to be honest, villians like Jack O Lantern, Vermin, Trapper, Looter, Etc are forgettable and garbage villians. Batman's rouges gallery is much more interesting and each represent a certain aspect of Batman himself.

And that's cool and I can dig that logic. Anno just came at me a bit too antagonistic.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

I put this hear because, well it won't fit in the Marvel universe or the DC universe, etc.

But which Superhero has the worst and best rogue of villans?

I think Supermans villans suck big time, so he gets the worst.

For best ,most inventive villans i go with either Batmans villans, or Spidermans...

......your thoughts.............

You could have just put it in Misc. comics.

Batman and Spider-man have the best Rogues Gallery. As for which one is better, both of them are top heavy, but let's be honest, after 20 for both heroes the list starts to teeter off.

For worst I'm going to go with Flash and Wonder Woman.

It's not that I can't accept your opinion, but that "30-40 great villains" is an exaggeration from the fullest.

Here, just for you because you've been such a gentleman... Carnage, Venom, Morlun, Lizard, Green Goblin (Norman), Green Goblin (Harry), Hobgoblin, Molten Man, Vulture, Kraven, Kaine, Jackal, the Tinkerer, Kingpin, Scorpion, Dr Octopus, Sandman, Electro, Puma, Mysterio, Morbius, Mr Negative, Alistair Smythe, Jackal, Shocker, Trapper, Looter, Carrion, Vermin, Jack O'Lantern, Sin-Eater, Tarantula... are we done?

I'm sorry, but once more....could they(the villains in bold) even be considered great though?

Spider-Man has great villains, you're right. But I can honestly count Spidey's GREAT villains in one hand and the GOOD villains in two. I just find Batman to have a broader numbers of really great and fascinating villains that don't become too much like copycats such as Hobgoblin or Carnage.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Haven't Puma, Morbius and Molten Men been good guys for a while now?

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

To best compare Batman and Spider-man Rogues galleries, let's have a little bit of fun with it, especially since this is the film forum.

How many of villains of each of their rogues galleries' could actually hold an entire movie as a main villain?

Imo,

Batman:

- Joker
- Ra's al Ghul
- Riddler
- Mr. Freeze
- Hugo Strange
- Two-Face
- Penguin
- Hush
- Poison Ivy
- Scarecrow
- Bane
- Black Mask
- Clayface
- Man-Bat

Spider-Man:

- Green Goblin
- Doc Ock
- Lizard
- Electro
- Kraven
- Vulture
- Morlun
- Mysterio
- Sandman
- Scorpion
- Chameleon
- Shocker
- Morbius
- Hobgoblin (I guess, but after GG...would we ever want to see Hobgoblin?)
- And between Venom and Carnage, I would have to say Carnage because there's a serial killer behind the symbiote. With Venom, it's just Venom as Eddie Brock can't really do much himself so he could be tied up in one film with the symbiote also controlling Peter and technically not a film by himself.
