* ComicBook/{{Carnage}} (pre-''ComicBook/{{AXIS}}''): Cletus Kasady was a [[AxCrazy psychotic]], [[TheSociopath sociopathic]], prolific SerialKiller even before he bonded with a bloodthirsty alien symbiote and took the name of [[NamesToRunAwayFrom Carnage]]; as a child, he killed his grandmother and pet dog, tortured his mother, killed the headmaster of his orphanage with a lead pipe, and then burned the orphanage down, and pushed a girl he had a crush on in front of a bus because she rejected him. As Carnage he became one of the worst enemies of Venom and Spider-Man both with his psychotic killing sprees through New York where he murdered anyone unfortunate enough to cross his path and if not for Venom and Spider-Man he would have killed thousands more. During the ''ComicBook/MaximumCarnage'' event, Carnage created a "family" of fellow super villains, using their powers to drive New York into homicidal insanity and to capture his "father" Venom, in whose captivity Carnage subjected to horrible torture. Not even his own family was safe from Carnage's psychosis and he brutalized his "wife" Shriek for ignoring his instructions before murdering their "son" Doppleganger when he tried defending her. Carnage has a habit of returning from death, always nastier than before, and the intense evil of Kasady and the Symbiote together results in one of Peter Parker's most murderous enemies.

As [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Norman Osborn]] he's a cold-blooded, calculating psychopath who treats everyone as a means to an end.

After Spider-Man foils Vulture, he sets off several bombs at the [[MegaCorp Alchemax]] building (Miguel is a high-level employee at Alchemax), intending to destroy it and not caring how many civilians are in the building.

* ''Agent ComicBook/{{Venom}}'': [[DiabolicalMastermind Crime Master]], Bennett Brant, is the BigBad of the first half of this series. Originally thought to be killed in {{UsefulNotes/TheSilverAge|OfComicBooks}} over some gambling debts, Bennett was actually taken in by a criminal organization who chose him to become the new Crime Master. Starting his reign of terror by kidnapping a psychotic child on Halloween, Crime Master [[TheCorrupter teaches the boy to kill]], convinces him to [[SelfMadeOrphan to kill his own parents]], and raises him as his new assassin, Jack O'Lantern V. Desiring to become a major crime boss, Crime Master then becomes an ArmsDealer. He hires a scientist to weaponize some Antarctic Vibranium, but the scientist double crosses him and uses the Vibranium to commit [[FinalSolution genocide]] in his home land. Crime Master is unhappy about his property being used without his permission, but is pleased to see his product in action and to get the free advertising. He sends Jack to capture the scientist, allowing him to kill innocent bystanders in the process. Believing that promoting chaos is good for his business, Crime Master wants to repeat scenes of horror such as this across the globe in order to make a profit. When Agent Venom, Flash Thompson, defeats Jack, Crime Master desires to control him. He has Jack kidnap Betty and straps her to a bomb, only promising to release her if Venom delivers some Vibranium to him--a promise he quickly reneges on. He forces Flash to get the Toxin symbiote for him so that he can merge it with Eddie Brock and create a new super-powered minion. After Venom tries to assassinate the Crime Master, he orders his underlings to kill all of Flash's friends and family.

The new up and coming mobster is introduced directing his [[TheDragon enforcer]], the Sandman, to [[YourHeadAsplode squeeze a man's head until it explodes]], with ruthless extortion and murder being part of his normal functions. What sets him apart from other mobsters is when he, with his Nazi benefactors, begins having black citizens kidnapped and given to [[ComicBook/DoctorOctopus Otto Octavius]] for his torturous experiments. When he realizes the authorities are on to them, the Crime Master opts to try to murder the civilians, [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain calling them "livestock,"]] by [[ManOnFire forcing them into a furnace]].

Under Saks's guidance, Mayor Waters turns New York into a PoliceState, where elections are suspended and armed troops arrest, beat or just kill those who protest against the government. When Spider-Man returns, Saks releases the [[VillainTeamUp Sinister Six]] and sends them after Spidey, threatening to blow them up with [[ExplosiveLeash micro bombs implanted under their skin if they fail]]. Jameson confronts Saks and Mayor Waters over their actions and manages to reveal that Saks is in fact ComicBook/{{Venom}}.

Once a TragicVillain who suffered from a SplitPersonality that forced him to become the Green Goblin, Norman was apparently slain after he threw Spider-Man's girlfriend, [[ILetGwenStacyDie Gwen Stacy]], [[ComicBook/TheNightGwenStacyDied off a bridge]], in what many fans saw as his MoralEventHorizon. Brought BackFromTheDead in the nineties, Norman revealed that he had been the mastermind behind ''ComicBook/TheCloneSaga'', [[{{buried|Alive}} Aunt May alive]] and killed Peter's clone, Ben Reilly, while gloating that he could now remember all the crimes he'd committed as the Goblin and was proud of them. Since then, he has gone on to be a major player in the Marvelverse, masterminding the creation of the [[ComicBook/DarkReign Dark Avengers]]. During this time period, he kept the Sentry in line via drug addiction (then had his wife killed), planned to have the captured Songbird [[OffWithHisHead decapitated]] (so that he could mount her head on the wall and masturbate to it), and deliberately triggered a war with Asgard by having the U-Foes attack Asgardian warrior [[BoisterousBruiser Volstaag]] in a football stadium, resulting in thousands of casualties. During this time, he also seduced and impregnated his son Harry's girlfriend, then plotted to have [[OffingTheOffspring Harry killed]], because he thought Harry's tragic death would earn him public sympathy. These, by the way, are all actions committed by the [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Norman Osborn]] persona; the Green Goblin persona remains an AxCrazy MadBomber who regularly endangers/kills hundreds of civilians during his battles with Spider-Man, and, in commemoration of Gwen Stacy's death, tried to recreate the tragedy with Mary-Jane Watson, Peter's then LoveInterest, as the victim. As [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Norman Osborn]] he's a cold-blooded, [[TheChessmaster calculating]] [[TheSociopath psychopath]] who treats everyone as a means to an end. As the Green Goblin he's a violent lunatic who threatens every person in the vicinity.

As [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Norman Osborn]] he's a cold-blooded, [[TheChessmaster calculating]] [[TheSociopath psychopath]] who treats everyone as a means to an end. As the Green Goblin he's a violent lunatic who threatens every person in the vicinity.
* ComicBook/{{Carnage}} (pre-''ComicBook/{{AXIS}}''): Cletus Kasady was a [[AxCrazy psychotic]], [[TheSociopath sociopathic]], prolific SerialKiller even before he bonded with a bloodthirsty alien symbiote and took the name of [[NamesToRunAwayFrom Carnage]]; as a child, he killed his grandmother and pet dog, tortured his mother, killed the headmaster of his orphanage with a lead pipe, and then burned the orphanage down, and pushed a girl he had a crush on in front of a bus because she rejected him. As Carnage he became one of the worst enemies of Venom and Spider-Man both with his psychotic killing sprees through New York where he murdered anyone unfortunate enough to cross his path and if not for Venom and Spider-Man he would have killed thousands more. During the ''ComicBook/MaximumCarnage'' event, Carnage created a "family" of fellow super villains, using their powers to drive New York into homicidal insanity and to capture his "father" Venom, in whose captivity Carnage subjected to horrible torture. Not even his own family was safe from Carnage's psychosis and he brutalized his "wife" Shriek for ignoring his instructions before murdering their "son" Doppleganger when he tried defending her.

All dull day every day right up until I hit the hay I think of bodies. Bodies burst. Bodies slit right up the middle and shared across a hundred nice little gardens. And when I sleep I dream of ways to kill a body that ain't nobody thought of yet.''

* ComicBook/NormanOsborn: Also known as The Green Goblin, Norman, one of Spidey's [[ArchEnemy Arch-Enemies]] (along with ComicBook/DoctorOctopus and ComicBook/{{Venom}}), graduated to Complete Monsterdom following his resurrection in TheNineties. Once a TragicVillain who suffered from a SplitPersonality that forced him to become the Green Goblin, Norman was apparently slain after he threw Spider-Man's girlfriend, [[ILetGwenStacyDie Gwen Stacy]] [[ComicBook/TheNightGwenStacyDied off a bridge]], in what many fans saw as his MoralEventHorizon. Brought BackFromTheDead in the nineties, Norman revealed that he had been the mastermind behind ''ComicBook/TheCloneSaga'', [[{{buried|Alive}} Aunt May alive]] and killed Peter's clone, Ben Reilly, while gloating that he could now remember all the crimes he'd committed as the Goblin and was proud of them. Since then, he has gone on to be a major player in the Marvelverse, masterminding the creation of the [[ComicBook/DarkReign Dark Avengers]]. During this time period, he kept the Sentry in line via drug addiction (then had his wife killed), planned to have the caputred Songbird decapitated (so that he could mount her head on the wall and masturbate to it), and deliberately triggered a war with Asgard by having the U-Foes attack Agardian warrior [[BoisterousBruiser Volstaag]] in a football stadium, resulting in thousands of casualties.

* ''Spider-Man's Tangled Web'''s first three issues feature one-shot villain [[SmugSnake Carl]] [[FromNobodyToNightmare King]], a.k.a. {{The|Swarm}} [[TheWormThatWalks Thousand]]. [[SchoolyardBullyAllGrownUp A particularly vicious childhood tormentor of Peter Parker]] who happened to be at the demonstration where Pete was bitten by a certain radioactive spider, he quickly put two-and-two together and decided to get spider-powers of his own by eating said spider. Instead, he was transformed into [[HiveMind a colony of a thousand oversized spiders]] [[OrificeInvasion with the ability to crawl into a human body]], [[BodyHorror eat the host's organs, musculature, and bones from the inside out]], [[ParanoiaFuel and wear their skin like a suit, mimicking both the victim's mannerisms and voice]]. The first person Carl "possessed" in this fashion ''was his own mother''; the second, who he killed intentionally [[ForTheEvulz and for no reason]], was his father, [[FridgeHorror and the imagery implies that he killed his dad after having sex with him]]. Since then, he has come to the conclusion that ''he'' should have been Spider-Man rather than puny Parker, [[ImAHumanitarian and has gone through around a dozen bodies every year, several of which were children]], in order to become strong enough to overpower Spidey and steal both his body and his life.
* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan2099'': [[LegacyCharacter Vulture 2099]] is one of the vilest of villains Spidey had to face in the DarkerAndEdgier [[CyberPunk 2099 era]]. After [[VillainousRescue saving]] Spider-Man from members of the [[PrivateMilitaryContractors Public Eye]], Vulture offers Spider-Man membership in his gang, the Freakers. However Spider-Man soon discovers that the Vulture is a [[ImAHumanitarian cannibal]]. Vulture killed the Public Eye officers chasing Spider-Man and cooked them up for dinner. Disgusted, Spider-Man refuses to join the Vulture's gang and Vulture attacks him. While Spider-Man is fighting Vulture, Spider-Man discovers Vulture's [[CannibalLarder meat locker]], containing several corpses on meat hooks that Vulture intended to eat later. After his initial defeat Vulture later returned and convinced a group of Thorites (a group that worships Thor) to have a Spiderite (a group that worships Spider-Man) [[ManOnFire burned alive]]. In his last appearance, Vulture discovers that Spider-Man is Miguel O'Hara and attempts to murder one of his friends. After Spider-Man foils Vulture, he sets off several bombs at the [[MegaCorp Alchemax]] building (Miguel is a high-level employee at Alchemax), intending to destroy it and not caring how many civilians are in the building.
* ''ComicBook/SpiderManNoir'':
** [[ComicBook/DoctorOctopus Otto Octavius]], a.k.a. [[MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate Dr. Octopus]], stands in stark contrast to his occasionally noble 616 counterpart. Born a cripple, Octavius used his genius to create mechanical limbs to compensate. Also a follower and worshiper of the Nazi philosophy, Octavius kidnaps innocent black men, knowing the police won't devote much effort to their disappearances, and practices horrific experiments on them, that kill them or leave them drooling vegetables. He displays no remorse for this whatsoever, viewing them as less than human. He isn't above straight murder when it suits his purposes, either.
** The Crime Master is the inheritor of "[[ComicBook/NormanOsborn The Goblin]]" and even more evil. The new up and coming mobster is introduced directing his [[TheDragon enforcer]], the Sandman, to [[YourHeadAsplode squeeze a man's head until it explodes]], with ruthless extortion and murder being part of his normal functions. What sets him apart from other mobsters is when he, with his Nazi benefactors, begins having black citizens kidnapped and given to [[ComicBook/DoctorOctopus Otto Octavius]] for his torturous experiments. When he realizes the authorities are on to them, the Crime Master opts to try to murder the civilians, [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain calling them “livestock,”]] by [[ManOnFire forcing them into a furnace]]. Also the boyfriend of Felicia Hardy, when he discovers her relationship with Spider-Man, he viciously tortures her and scars her face hideously with a shard of glass.
