Don’t forget to check out my other posts
Ben Reilly has a wide variety of villains I already introduced you to some now it’s time to meet the rest
Quentin Beck AKA Mysterio: Once a respected special effects expert Quentin Beck was quickly phased out with the rise of CGI slop upon the day he was laid off he found a mysterious book it allowed him to cast a variety of spells but he took to the ones that were illusion based he then realised that with this book combined with his special effects experience he could make those who shunned him pay dearly he would make them all fear the menace that is Mysterio
Rodrick Kingsley AKA Hobgoblin: Once a fashion expert shunned away for using cheap and unsafe materials Rodrick Kingsley stumbled upon a stash belonging to the deceased Harry Osborn AKA Green Goblin upon seeing this he decided to turn to crime as he felt like his company was gonna get shut down anyway upon making alterations to the suit and gear he named himself The Hobgoblin, he clashed with Spider Man a number of times before being captured and recruited by Norman Osborn The Second Green Goblin becoming his second in command of his Goblin Gang.
Vincent Stegron aka Stegron: A mad scientist who using a modified version of Curt Connors lizard formula turned himself into a human dinosaur hybrid and decided to use that same formula to rule the world making , upon being defeated by Spider Man for the first time he moved his base to the savage land where he learned he could communicate with and control dinosaurs
Felicia Hardy AKA Black Cat(let me know who the artist is in the comments) An art thief who was the daughter of one of NYC’s greatest thieves Felicia followed in her father’s footsteps and during a heist encountered Spider Man where she quickly became enraptured with the wall crawler and the two of them quickly started an on again off again relationship which ended when Ben Reilly met Janine Godbe/Elizabeth Tyne but the two remained friends it was thanks to Ben that she renounced her life of crime and even had a daughter named Felicity who wanted to be a hero
The Chameleon: no one knows the true name of the man of mystery known as The Chameleon but what we do know is that he hails from a wealthy Russian family, he’s a master of disguise, incredibly intelligent and fears only one thing, his half brother Sergei Kravinoff
Sergei Kravinoff AKA Kraven the Hunter: A man who hails from the wealthy Kravinoff family Kraven never really belonged to the life of the elite his heart was that of a hunter a warrior, he is a man who sees the whole world as his jungle and himself as the apex predator in his own words “Mother Russia by way of Mother Africa” he was never satisfied with animals and soon pushed himself to physical and mental perfection and began hunting incredibly strong individuals searching for a worthy challenge eventually going so far as to hunt mutants and superhumans in his quest for a worthy equal until he heard of a man with the abilities of the worlds strongest spiders he soon set out to New York to hunt this Spider Man and he was very happy with what he found but was also disappointed as the spider had been holding back he became a sort of twisted mentor to Spider Man teaching him while the tried to kill him and pushing him to his limits so he could fight the spider at his full potential
Wilson Fisk AKA The Kingpin: NYC’s biggest crime lord trumping even the big 3 everyone in NYC’s underworld fears him not just due to his physical strength but his political influence he’s a enemy of Spider Man but Daredevil’s nemesis it’s funny how he brought the two biggest problems in his life together but make no mistake if you come after him and fail he’ll kill not just you but your friends and family and use his influence to make it seem like a freak tragedy while those who know learn their place
Adriana Soria AKA Spider Queen: A common enemy of Captain America and Spider Man she’s a failed subject of the super soldier program that created Captain America when she reawakened in the present day she decided that she should rule the world as it’s queen with Spider Man as her king as she had the powers to do so fortunately Captain America was able to stop her and save Spider Man. She possesses super strength a sonic scream, telepathy, telekinesis the ability to turn into a spider monster, a mutagenic bite and the ability to control anything and anyone with insect or arachnid DNA . When her first plan failed she recruited Miles Warren to imbue NYC with spider powers so she could control them the same way she could control Ben and even mutated Captain America into The Spider King fortunately Ben and his clone Kaine were able to stop them and save Cap
Fred Myers AKA Boomerang: A baseball star turned petty criminal he used his fine marksmanship that made him a baseball star to throw weaponised boomerangs
Screwball: The physical embodiment of the worst streamers in the world she decided to get famous by becoming a criminal who live streamed her crimes (Ben: That’s the dumbest idea I’ve ever heard) Ben really hates people like her, she is pretty wily and acrobatic though he’ll give her that.
Dr Jonathan Ohnn AKA The Spot (art by shlerbe art) Once a scientist working on dimensional travel turned into a portal entity during a fight with Spider Man and Hobgoblin after he was turned into The Spot seeing as there wasn’t a way back to normal he turned to a life of crime. He may not seem like it but he’s one of the universe’s most dangerous threats responsible for creating the particle collider that has given our wall crawler much dimensional chicanery and that was designed before he became The Spot, he sent Ben to the world of MHA, Doctor Doom used him as a living portal generator, and finally he’s the reason Spider Man and Supergirl’s worlds are merged together so if it wasn’t obvious he’s more than capable of being an Ultimate’s level threat he’s only held back by his ineptitude and incompetence when it comes to being a criminal
Carnage/Cletus Kasady: Cletus Kasady was a serial killer convicted on eleven murders (that we know of) and was placed in the same psyche ward as Flash Thompson the original Venom because of this fact when the Symbiote inevitably broke Flash out it was pregnant during the jailbreak and due to a lack of social structure didn’t tell Flash that it had just given birth to one of the deadliest supervillains the world had ever seen as the newly born Symbiote bonded with Cletus through his bloodstream and for about a month the two lay in wait before breaking out and killing everyone in the building and on that night Carnage was born. Their rampage forced Spider Man and Venom to team up to stop him but even combined they were no match for Carnage for a number of reasons, one, each new symbiote generation is stronger than the previous one, two, Carnage gestated in a unique and very hospitable environment and three Cletus and the Symbiote are perfectly compatible.
Over the years Cletus and Carnage caused so much needless death and destruction until they were finally defeated by Spider Man and The New Venom, Peter Parker and separated by Reed Richards however due to the fact Carnage and Cletus had been bonded so long and so deeply and the fact that Carnage had bonded with Cletus via his bloodstream meant that Cletus was now dying and Carnage could sense this so he broke out latching itself onto Ben Reilly transforming him into the first Spider Carnage
This was so he could reunite with Cletus however he underestimated Ben as he was able to fight off Carnage’s control long enough for the Fantastic Four and The X Men to hold it for long enough that when it arrived at Cletus’s prison it turned out that Cletus had died it took its rage out on anything and anyone he could see but thanks to Ben who held Carnage back from the inside was able to be separated from him but unfortunately he escaped and came back after devouring several innocent people had now become able to take on a humanoid form without a host.
Now no longer needing a host Carnage hijacked an experimental shuttle to bring an ancient symbiote hive to earth but Spider Man and Venom followed him and during the final fight kicked him into a wormhole and even that didn’t get rid off him for good as he just bonded with a Spider Man who had the crappiest life imaginable and drove him mad (see my spider verse post to learn more) fortunately they were able to beat Carnage after the Spider-Verse event and locked the Symbiote away in a super secure prison in The Negative Zone but if you ask me i think it’s only a matter of time until he gets free again and gets back to doing what he loves.
He’s a common enemy of Spider Man and Venom and Venom’s nemesis.
