** NormanOsborn, ArchEnemy of ''SpiderMan'', gradauted to Complete Monsterdom following his resurrection in the nineties. 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]] [[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 the Clone Saga, buried 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. 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 AxeCrazy MadBomber who regularly endangers/kills hundreds of civillians during his battle's 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 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.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Retroactively done with the ''Amazing Fantasy Starring Spider-Man'' mini-series, which bridged the gap between ''Amazing Fantasy'' #15 and ''Amazing Spider-Man'' #1. In the second issue of the series, Peter meets Joey Pulaski, a teenaged superheroine who he became friends with. She ends up being sent to jail after Spider-Man turns her in for committing a number of crimes, and for the rest of the mini-series, Spider-Man is devastated by the memory of her. Of course, since she was created in the mid-nineties, and her story set between those published in the early 60s, her existence begs the question "why haven't we heard of her until now?". The only time she ever appears is in the one story, and her existence is never explored again.
** This happens a lot with these retro-active issues. The other villains in the same mini-series (a man named Undertaker and a suppervillain named Supercharger), despite being Spider-Man's first supervillains, never get any mention (indeed, the Chameleon is still toted as Spider-Man's first supervillain in the comics), and the original villains for ''Untold Tales of Spider-Man'' generally have never reappeared. The exception to this is The Scorcher, (Spider-Man's first black villain), who died within the series.

* Carnage, who was never really sane to begin with. 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; he became even more insane and murderous after bonding with the symbiote, and he has no qualms about who he kills...even people he once trusted, including his own henchmen and childhood friends.
* Oneshot villain [[SmugSnake Carl]] [[FromNobodyToNightmare King]], a.k.a. {{The|Swarm}} [[TheWormThatWalks Thousand]], definitely fits the bill. [[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. Fortunately, after receiving an epic ShutUpHannibal speech from our favorite webslinger, the hideous abomination wound up frying his current host and most of his spiders [[DeadlyDodging by punching a transformer]], and the final spider was killed in a satisfyingly appropriate fashion: stepped on by an oblivious New Yorker, unnoticed and unmourned like the miserable little nobody he really was.
* Otto Octavius in ''SpiderManNoir'' 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.
