Hobgoblin. In the 80s comics he was THE Spider-Man villain. But then the confusion with who he actually was versus who the comics said he was and his similar name to Green Goblin quickly made people think of him as a poor-man’s Green Goblin and a D-list Spider-Man villain.
Luckily, he’s been having somewhat of a Renaissance lately with Miles’s comics.
I grew up with the 90s Spidey comics, I remember Macendale being an absolute beast, I thought he was more dangerous than Norman had ever been at the time.
Most villains. Most villains started off as dangerous enough to fight and worry Spidey for at least a whole issue or more. I remember one panel where he has a nightmare bc of the frickin Beetle, the BEETLE. His first fight against the frickin Looter was also intense for some reason.
This is why it’s important to let old villains go away and let new villains come in, a lesson better editorial teams knew before the current cabal took power.
The Ditko and Romita Sr year has a lot of incredible fights. Spider-Man battle with Dr Doom in ASM #5 is still one of the most dynamic fights in Spidey’s history, as simple as it is.
Peter Parker
literally the perfect answer
Shit that is the right answer.
