Greatest Comic Book Villain Ever Series-Spiderman



All right so last night I was thinking about who the greatest Comic Book villain was in the history of Comics and decided to come up with a series of posts eliminating those who do not make the grade. This series includes both Marvel and DC comics as well as Todd McFarlane’s Spawn.
So this first blog is about the villains of Spiderman. My choices to review are; Venom , Carnage, Green Goblin and Dr Octopus.

Venom


A symbiotic life form that arrived from a different planet. The symbiote venom turns who ever it is joined to into a violent person , robbing their humanity and this makes me them more dangerous than ever. Latching onto Eddie Brock, the dangerous Venom is effectively a stronger and faster version than Spiderman.This could be due to the alien life form but it could also be due to the fact that Brock has for Peter Parker.Venom is cold and calculating, luring in his victims, including Spiderman, in an attempt to kill him.

Carnage

Like with Venom, Carnage is also a symbiote which latches onto the crazy and deranged  serial killer Cletus Kassidy. With his previous mental instability, Carnage is the most unpredictable, violent and dangerous Spiderman villains ever.He has similar abilities to both Spiderman and Venom but his erratic behaviour, along with his desire for killing, makes the villain one of the most dangerous in the whole of the marvel universe.  

Green Goblin

Norman Oscorp was a brilliant scientist who owned Oscorp Industries. He injected himself with a special formula in order to become stronger, faster and have an increase in stamina.  The only problem is that the serum turned him extremely aggressive as well as being insane. Green Goblin took out a personal vendetta against  Spiderman  and even kidnapped Peter Parker's child. The most dangerous thing though is that the original Green Goblin inspired others to follow his footsteps like his son Harry as well as inspiring the many incarnations of Hobgoblin.

Dr Octopus

Octo Octavius was another brilliant scientist until his experiment went wrong. 4 metal arms were fused to his body and are controlled by the doctors mind. The mechanical arms increase the speed and strength of Octavius whilst wielding them pin point accuracy. The arms have been upgraded over the years to do various tasks like shooting lasers etc.

FIGHT 1:  Venom vs Green Goblin
Although  the Green Goblin has a number of weapons in his arsenal I believe that Venom would take advantage and make the kill due to his symbiotic speed and ruthlessness.
WINNER: VENOM

FIGHT 2: Carnage vs Doctor Octopus
All though the mechanical arms of Doc Ock would do some serious damage to Carnage, I think that the deranged mind of Carnage would somehow find a way of tearing off the metal attachments of Doctor Octopus and eventually causing his death.
WINNER: CARNAGE

FINAL FIGHT: Venom vs Carnage
Although both villains are symbiotes I believe that Carnage would have the upper hand due to the completely  deranged and violent mind of Kassidy. Venom would put up a good fight but I see this turning out like the comics with Carnage on top.

Winner of the Spiderman Villain heats:

CARNAGE
