| 46 | |
| 47 | Armada is reputed to be the finest corporate thief there is, so much so that few people even know of his existence. He "acquires hard-to-get items" for a profit using a high-tech battle suit and and team of robots. |
| 48 | ---- |
| 49 | * DroneDeployer: His powered armor functions as one. |

| 54 | * WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Armada is convinced his little flying robots are sentient. He names them, cares about them, and suffers a FreakOut every time they inevitably get smashed up by the heroes he fights. It is not at all clear that they actually ''are'' sentient, so he's probably just deluded, but maybe he knows something the rest of us don't. |

| 77 | !!! '''Alter Ego:''' Basil Elks |
| 78 | !!! '''First Appearance:''' ''ComicBook/MarvelTeamUp'' #16, (December, 1973) |
| 79 | |
| 80 | Basil Elks was originally a small-time crook. One day he broke into a museum and was about to steal an emerald. [[LittleDidIKnow Little did he know]] the emerald came from an alien world and possessed power. When he was about to grab it, the guards at the museum shot at Elks but missed. Instead, the guard's bullets hit the emerald and all of a sudden this turns Elks into a powerful reptilian being. He attacks the guards and later decides to start a new life as a supervillain and begins to call himself the Basilisk. |
| 81 | ---- |
| 82 | * AppropriatedAppellation: Basil Elks was a convicted burglar of little note, who was ridiculed and nicknamed "Basilisk" by the other inmates. |
| 83 | * BackFromTheDead: He was among the many lesser-known villains killed by the Scourge to be revived by the Hood. |
| 84 | * ComboPlatterPowers: The Basilisk's original powerset came from the Alpha Stone. When he acquired its counterpart, the Omega Stone, he also gained additional DishingOutDirt powers. |
| 85 | * DishingOutDirt: The Omega Stone gave the Basilisk the power to control the earth, creating earthquakes and volcanoes as well as walking through lava. |
| 86 | * EyeBeams: The Basilisk's initial major power was the bodily generator of microwave-related energy, which he could emit at will through his eyes. |
| 87 | * GreenAndMean: His body is now mostly green. |
| 88 | * LizardFolk: The gem's energy turned Elks into a powerful reptilian being. |
| 89 | * NotQuiteFlight: After absorbing the power of Omega Stone, Basilisk gained the power of self-levitation. |
| 90 | * OneSteveLimit: He shares codename with other lesser-known characters, including Mike Columbus, Wayne Gifford and a robot. |
| 91 | * StevenUlyssesPerhero: A guy named "Basil Elks" seemed to have been destined to become a reptilian supervillain named the Basilisk. |
| 92 | * SuperStrength: The Basilisk's physical strength is enhanced to the peak of human potential, meaning he is above stronger than normal humans. While he wasn't superhuman, he could lift up to 800 lbs. |
| 93 | * SuperToughness: The tissues of the Basilisk's body, particularly his lizard-like skin, is harder and more resistant to physical injury than an ordinary human. His body was durable enough to allow him to wade through lava, which he enjoyed doing often, without sustaining any physical injury. |
| 94 | * VillainDecay: He went from challenging the likes of Captain Marvel, the Thing and Black Bolt and potentially destroying New York to being shot by the Scourge and eventually reduced to a glorified {{Mook|s}} for the Hood and casually beaten up by Spider-Man after his resurrection. |

| 110 | ->''"I could kill you a dozen times -- and I would still owe you for the anguish, the agony you cost me."'' |
| 111 | \ |
| 112 | The former wife of the supervillain Ringer, Leila Davis began her own criminal career as Hardshell before eventually adopting the Beetle guise when the original Beetle became MACH-I. |
| 113 | ---- |
| 114 | * CrusadingWidow: She joined Abe Jenkins' Sinister Syndicate as a way to get close to and kill Jenkins, blaming him for Anthony Davis's death. In an earlier storyline, Beetle forced Davis to fight Spider-Man as the Ringer to analyze Spider-Man's fighting style. Davis's humiliating defeat led him to try and gain more respect in the supervillain community, which in turn led him to be nearly killed by the Scourge. Leila also wanted revenge on Spider-Man and the Scourge, but they came a distant second to revenge on Jenkins. |
| 115 | * DistaffCounterpart: The very first female to take the Beetle identity. She was also a sort of distaff counterpart to the Ringer, using his weapons when she finally attacked Abner Jenkins. |
| 116 | * HappilyMarried: Her devotion towards her husband Anthony is the only reason she took on villainy. |
| 117 | * HeelFaceTurn: She was a full-on criminal until Anthony suddenly turned up as the cyborg warrior Strikeback. Anthony revealed that he was NotQuiteDead after the Scourge massacred him and a bunch of other villains. Some AIM agents investigated the massacre hoping to find information about the villains' technology, and they found a barely-alive Davis. They rebuilt him as Strikeback and he worked for them until going freelance. Leila and Anthony lived happily for a while until Anthony's systems broke down due to the damage he suffered helping Leila. In honoring her husband's wish to become something better, Leila became more of a hero. |
| 118 | * KilledOffForReal: Killed along with other Redeemers fighting Graviton. |
| 119 | * PoweredArmor: First as Hardshell, then as the second Beetle, Leila used high-tech armor to commit crimes. |
| 120 | * RedemptionEqualsDeath: Trying to honor her husband's dying wish to become something better, she died fighting the supervillain Graviton. |
| 121 | * SamusIsAGirl: The bulk of the Mk 3 Beetle armor makes it difficult to notice she's female at first glance. In contrast, her Hardshell armor was [[ChainmailBikini stylized to look like a metal bodysuit, emphasizing her curves and even sporting high heels]]. |

| 129 | ->''"I am a professional. I am robbing you at gunpoint right now. Can we maybe keep the topics of conversation to how terrified you are, or how amazingly well planned this whole heist is?"'' |
| 130 | \ |
| 131 | Originally introduced as an opponent of ComicBook/CaptainAmerica ([[Characters/MarvelComicsBuckyBarnes Bucky Barnes]]), she later becomes a member of ''ComicBook/TheSuperiorFoesOfSpiderMan'' and is revealed to be the [[DaddysLittleVillain daughter]] of Spider-Man villain Tombstone, as well as a [[AmoralAttorney lawyer]]. |
| 132 | ---- |
| 133 | * AffirmativeActionLegacy: A rare villainous example; she's an Afro-Latina woman who took up the mantle of a white man. |
| 134 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: Appears as this early in ''Superior Foes'', in contrast to her more clearly white (as well as different in general) original appearance. The series later reveals that she's the daughter of the black (and albino) Tombstone and a Latina mother. |
| 135 | * AmoralAttorney: With her father's encouragement, she went to law school (where she excelled) to become one of these and was even a valedictorian at Columbia Law. A flashback shows her winning a case against Matt Murdock by hiring the Looter to cause a disturbance outside of the courthouse, which prompted Matt to hastily and weakly excuse himself from the proceedings in order to deal with it as ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}. |
| 136 | * ControlFreak: She's obsessed with controlling situations and planning things out as much as possible. It would make her a decent leader if she could get others to respect her. |
| 137 | * CutLexLuthorACheck: Her father argued for a career as an AmoralAttorney to be preferable to and safer than that of a costumed supervillain, and he seems to have had a point, as while Janice was an excellent law student and seems to have been a competent attorney, [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain she's so far less successful as a supervillain]]. |
| 138 | * DaddysLittleVillain: From an early age, she shared her father's criminal tendencies (a flashback shows the two bonding over stealing a dog from a playmate's birthday party), and Tombstone put her through law school in the hopes of her becoming a [[CutLexLuthorACheck legitimate]] criminal as a mob lawyer. While he wasn't happy about her deciding to become a costumed super villain, he still supported her although he refused to pay for it. |
| 139 | * DatingCatwoman: Her and [[ComicBook/AntMan Scott Lang]]. |
| 140 | --> '''Scott:''' I was an [[ComicBook/TheAvengers Avenger]] once. And the day they made it official--everyone could tell I was freaking out. Like, I was in way over my head. So, ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, he takes me aside--he puts his hand on my shoulder, looks me straight in the eye, and say: "Scott, I'm sure right about now you're doubting yourself. Don't. This is a great responsibility, of course--but there's just one rule, above all the others, that you need to keep in mind--one rule that can never be broken, no matter what--and no matter how many times [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]] may tell you otherwise--if you want to be an Avenger--you do not sleep with super villains." I am so sorry Captain America. |
| 141 | * DatingWhatDaddyHates: She fell for Randy Robertson much to Tombstone's chagrin. |
| 142 | * DeadpanSnarker: Tends to make snippy comments about whoever she's working with at the time. Sometimes leans into SilentSnarker when she doesn't feel like speaking out-loud. |
| 143 | * DistaffCounterpart: Sometimes referred to as "Lady Beetle", and even her Mk 4 Beetle Armor looks a lot like a [[ChainmailBikini visually feminine]] version of the iconic Mk 2 Beetle Armor. |
| 144 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She and her father are actually very close, despite their disagreements on Janice's career choice. |
| 145 | * EvilIsPetty: She once forced Scott Lang to perform a robbery for her, in exchange for her allowing him victory in a custody case with his ex-wife over their daughter. The robbery went wrong thanks to the intervention of Darren Cross, but when Scott saves the day and the judges want to thank him, she flips out and tries to deny him his daughter out of spite. |
| 146 | * IJustWantToBeSpecial: In the worst way possible; she became a supervillain largely out of desire to be the best supervillain. |
| 147 | * PetTheDog: Her backstory issue showed that she sometimes does community work at soup kitchens as a sort of "karmic balance". |
| 148 | * PoweredArmor: As per the original. In particular, the suit has flight abilities and energy weapons in the gloves. |
| 149 | * RoguesGalleryTransplant: Originally introduced as a Captain America villain, she later became a Spidey villain, with a [[RetCon backstory introduced]] which tied her to his Rogue's Gallery. |
| 150 | * SecondaryColorNemesis: Just like previous beetles, her costume is either mostly purple, or green and purple. |
| 151 | * StopHavingFunGuy: She ''really'' doesn't like it when her allies go off of her strictly made plans. |
| 152 | * StrawFeminist: Subverted. She sometimes throws out feminist phrases and claims that she wants to "break the glass ceiling" on supervillainy, but it's just a way she excuses her petty crimes and jerkish personality. |
| 153 | * WomenAreWiser: [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative For what it's worth]], she's the most competent member of the Superior Foes when it comes to planning. |
| 154 | * {{Yandere}}: Out of all of the villains recruited by Ant-Man, she was the most earnestly helpful, even secretly assisting him in defeating Cross. Then she tried to use the courts to ruin his life because he didn't call her back afterward. |

| 207 | * AreYouSureYouCanDriveThisThing: When he went to the Tinkerer looking for some sort of edge against Rocket Racer, he bought the giant wheel. He immediately went after Racer, [[EpicFail before actually learning how to fully drive his wheel.]] He couldn't stop himself from driving right off a bridge to seemingly kill himself. According to a later story, he survived and learned that the wheel was watertight. The story clarified that the Tinkerer provided him with an instruction manual concerning the wheel's abilities, but Weele never bothered to read it. |
| 208 | * ButtMonkey: Rocket Racer not only blackmailed him, but prevented him from committing suicide. When he became the Big Wheel to try and kill Racer, he ended up killing himself. |
| 209 | * DestinationDefenestration: He was thrown off a bridge by Foolkiller, seemingly killing him once more. |

He obeyed instructions from her supposed kidnappers to keep her safe. He did not realize that Carla staged her kidnapping, and that she was the one blackmailing him. |
| 211 | * HeroWithAnFInGood: When he tried to make amends and help Spider-Man, he caused a lot of damage, which is why Spidey encouraged him to follow a different career path. |
| 212 | * IneffectualSympatheticVillain: The guy sucks at being a villain despite how impressive his wheel looks. |
| 213 | * ItsPersonal: He is often motivated by personal grudges, against the Rocket Racer initially and against Mister Negative in later stories. Averted in the case of his relationship with Spider-Man. He has insisted on several stories that he has no grudge against Spidey, and he has even tried to help Spidey on occasion. |

| 218 | * SecondaryColorNemesis: While the wheel is yellow, his costume while inside it is green. |
| 219 | * StartOfDarkness: He was a white-collar criminal who hired the Rocket Racer to help him cover incriminating evidence about his past. Then the racer started blackmailing him, bullying him, and stalking him. Weele was briefly suicidal about the situation. Then he decided to fight back by becoming a super-villain and attacking the Racer. Several of his stories since then involve his revenge schemes against fellow villains who hurt him, but these schemes tend to have collateral damage. |

| 250 | \ |
| 251 | Allegedly for over 700 years, the title of the Black Tarantula has been passed down from father to son. Carlos [=LaMuerto=] is an Argentinian crime lord who has inherited the mantle and has clashed with Spidey a few times. |
| 252 | ---- |
| 253 | * ActionDad: He's a very capable fighter and crime lord. And of course, he succeeds in the tradition of passing the mantle of Black Tarantula to his son, Fabian. |
| 254 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: This guy was stronger, faster and more agile than Peter was and one of the few to hand him a pretty solid defeat. |
| 255 | * ColorAnimalCodename: '''Black''' Tarantula |

| 257 | * CurbStompBattle: He gave a pretty ruthless beatdown on Peter and sparing him when he learned Spidey was involved to save the young Normie. |
| 258 | * EyeBeams: Perhaps his most unusual power is firing optic blasts though it requires a few minutes of cooldown. |
| 259 | * HealingFactor: He's got a pretty strong one and with the unique capability of using it as a form of HealingHands. He recovered pretty quickly from an otherwise fatal heart stab from Bullseye. |
| 260 | * LegacyCharacter: The Black Tarantula mantle has been passed for centuries from father to son. Carlos is the latest one, with plans to train his son Fabian as his successor, which was why his wife left him and took Fabian with her. |
| 261 | ** The Spider-Girl comics confirm Fabian does indeed become the next Black Tarantula. |
| 262 | * NobleDemon: He's a pretty respectful individual, just one who is a crime syndicate leader and a former member of the Hand. Heck, he once killed a former member of his gang for killing women and then taking the money he was paid for and donating it to a church with a note saying to help people with it. |
| 263 | * SuperpowerLottery: He's pretty much Spidey's superior in virtually every physical aspect along with his healing trick and eye blasts. |
| 264 | * SympathyForTheHero: After expressing his VillainRespect for Peter, he notes on how Peter is a HeroWithBadPublicity, all while whaling on him: |
| 265 | --> '''Black Tarantula:''' ...which makes my own task all the more difficult. [hits him again] While the local authorities may mistake you for a criminal, those who lurk in the shadows see your true heroism! [stops fighting, as Spidey clearly can no longer fight back] Ironic, isn't it? Your enemies know you better than your allies. |
| 266 | * VillainRespect: He has deep respect for Spider-Man risking his life to save a young Normie Osborn even with the massive bounty on his head. |
| 267 | --> '''Black Tarantula:''' I applaud your dedication, Spider-Man, as well as your sense of honor. Considering the current bounty on your head, only a man of exceptional virtue would risk himself to save the heir of an enemy! |

| 329 | When Peter first got his powers, he didn't want to use them to help others. That all changed when he refused to help apprehend a burglar. The burglar then tried his luck on what would turn out to be Peter's old house, killing his uncle Ben in the process. |
| 330 | ---- |
| 331 | * AllForNothing: It turns out the reason he invaded the Parker home in the first place is because he was looking for a stash of money supposedly hidden there by a famous gangster. After his demise, it's revealed the cash was eaten years ago by silverfish. All he really accomplished was turning Peter into a hero. |
| 332 | * AssholeVictim: He dies of a heart attack after Peter menaces him. |
| 333 | * BackForTheDead: Years after the debut story of Spider-Man, he returned to the Parker house looking for a mobster's hidden loot. He dies of a heart attack from terror when he discovers Peter is Spider-Man and has never returned. |
| 334 | * DeathBySecretIdentity: Finding out Spider-Man is the very same kid whose uncle he murdered drives him into a panicked frenzy and he dies of fright. |
| 335 | * DirtyCoward: While he was eventually brave enough to try to off the wall-crawler himself, he quickly dissolved into a panicking, frightened mess when he learned the hero was the same man who lost his uncle to his gun. |
| 336 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Unbeknownst to Spider-Man, the Burglar had a daughter named Jessica Carradine, who truly loved her father despite his life of crime. She initially wanted revenge, but came to see the hero as a good man despite his role in her father's death. |
| 337 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: Part of what causes his fatal heart attack; he doesn't believe Peter when he says he won't kill him. Thinking he's lying, and thinking Peter would do what he himself would in the situation, he scares himself into a fatal heart attack. |
| 338 | * HateSink: He's a selfish, murderous, cowardly excuse for a human being. He's likely one of the few people Parker truly ''loathes'' and it isn't until years after his death that we learn he even had any redeeming qualities. |
| 339 | * LaserGuidedKarma: During his last fight with Spider-Man, he pulls a WoundedGazelleGambit by faking chest pains to gain the upper hand. Guess what winds up happening for real just a few moments later? |
| 340 | * NoNameGiven: He was never called anything but "the Burglar". His daughter's surname was Carradine (which was also his in the Raimi trilogy) but it isn't clear if that applies to him. |
| 341 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: A burglar so generic we don't even learn his name, who decided to target both the underground wrestling ring Peter went to, and, later that night, the Parker house. This is what set Peter on the path of superheroism. |
| 342 | * StarterVillain: The very first criminal Spider-Man faced. Unlike most examples though, he isn't a super-villain or really anyone of power. He's just a man with a gun, but that was more than enough. |
| 343 | * WouldHarmASenior: He murdered elderly Ben Parker with no remorse. When he faced Spider-Man again, he threatened to do the same to Aunt May. Needless to say, [[UnstoppableRage Peter was sorely tempted to return the favor.]] |

After [[ComicBook/KravensLastHunt Kraven's suicide]], Calypso sought revenge on Spider-Man for the villain's death by brainwashing the Lizard, after increasing her own powers by ritualistically sacrificing her younger sister, Mambo. After that debacle and ones involving ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}, Calypso attempted to once again bewitch the Lizard, who responded by fatally mauling her, and escaping from the Ravencroft Institute. |
| 363 | |
| 364 | Calypso resurrected herself by possessing Glory Grant, and controlling Simon Garth, the Zombie. She was subsequently humiliated by Alyosha, one of Kraven's sons, and tried to get even by assembling an army, and using magic to pit Alyosha against Spider-Man. After the two reluctant combatants broke free of Calypso's spell and defeated her minions, Alyosha took Calypso captive, and unceremoniously killed her in the Kravinoff Mansion. |

Angered and disgusted that his brother and so many others had died because of corporate greed, Elias subjected himself to experiments that replaced his heart with a beta particle reactor, and fused a Vibranium mesh into his skin.

| 748 | * DaddyIssues: She hates her father, which would explain her sometimes weird relationship with Otto. While her reaction to Seward's eventual death at the hands of Mendel Stromm and Norman Osborn isn't shown, she was presumably pretty happy about it, if not a little miffed that she didn't get to kill him herself. |
| 749 | * DistaffCounterpart[=/=]LegacyCharacter: It's not hard to guess for who. |
| 750 | * FanGirl: For Otto; a flashback to their pre-supervillain days shows her {{Squee}}ing as he gives her an autograph. Later upgraded to MonsterFangirl. |
| 751 | * GoldMakesEverythingShiny: As of ''Secret War'', she has gold-colored tentacles. |
| 752 | * HairColorDissonance: Purple, red, black, brown, and everything in-between. |
| 753 | * LovelyAngels: With Ock's girlfriend, Stunner. |
| 754 | * MechaMooks: Her Octo-spheres and hench-droids. |
| 755 | * PsychoForHire: Became this after Otto came back to life. |
| 756 | * StalkerWithACrush: Was one for Otto, with a flashback depicting her as being overjoyed when Otto was forced to break up with his fiancé Mary Alice. While her relationship with him eventually seemed to become platonic, it's implied that she may have still had romantic feelings for him, as when she was helping him recover from the fractured mental state he was left in after being revived, she completely downplayed his relationships with Mary Alice and Stunner. |
| 757 | * WhenYouComingHomeDad: Seward was apparent quite neglectful, though he did do things like sing to Carolyn when she was little and arrange the first meeting between her and her idol. |
| 758 | * YouDontLookLikeYou: She looked like she normally does during the events of ''ComicBook/{{Hunted}}'', but a few issues later she was completely redesigned to resemble Olivia Octavius from ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'', even having this new design in a flashback that took place prior to the events of ''Hunted.'' |

| 769 | Needing a PR man, the Nexus Corporation hired Luke Carlyle for the job, failing to look too deeply into his background, which involved a veritable ton of crimes committed under different names. Eventually, the [=CEO=] of Nexus confronted Luke about irregularities regarding his personal history, and exactly what he was doing while in the company's employ. Luke proceeded to fatally bludgeon his boss, and while contemplating what to do afterward, he realized that he could now act as the de-facto leader of Nexus, at least for a little while. Luke's first order of business was to get in touch with Doctor Octopus, under the guise of offering him a legitimate job; when Ock surprisingly showed up, Luke had him captured and studied by Nexus's scientists, who he had duplicate and upgrade Otto's technology. Sticking Otto in a slow-acting death trap (in case he needed to force more information out of him regarding his tech) Luke adorned his new armor, equipped with six mechanical tentacles, and went on a rampage, drawing the attention of Spider-Man, who reluctantly teamed-up with the escaped Doc Ock to defeat "Doctor Octopus III". |

| 779 | * StaticStunGun: Two of his tentacles were tipped with tasers. |
| 780 | * PoweredArmor: The main difference between Luke and Ock was Luke's use of tentacled armor, instead of just a tentacled harness. Not a bad idea, considering how years of fighting super beings wound up destroying Otto's unprotected body. |
| 781 | * UpgradeVsPrototypeFight: Luke had more advanced gear, while Otto had more experience. Had it not been for Spider-Man's intervention, the two would have presumably kept engaging in FearfulSymmetry until exhaustion or death. |

| 789 | !!! '''First Appearance:''' ''Infinity War'' #1 (June, 1992) |
| 790 | |
| 791 | -->'''Carnage:''' Y'know, while I was locked in the Vault, I heard some rumors about a pack of evil duplicates from outer space, and... nah! It's all too hokey for words! |
| 792 | |
| 793 | Originally a "living geometric pattern" that resided in another dimension, Doppelgänger and several other members of his kind were turned into twisted duplicates of various superheroes by the Magus during ComicBook/TheInfinityWar. Unlike the other knock-offs, this one survived that event, and has periodically resurfaced to torment the real Spider-Man. |
| 794 | ---- |
| 795 | * AlasPoorVillain: He was disemboweled by Carnage while trying to protect Shriek during one of the former's tantrums. While attacking Doppelgänger, Carnage even mused that it felt like such a waste to waste him. Fortunately his healing powers saved him. |
| 796 | * AllAnimalsAreDogs: Behaves almost like a dog around Shriek. |
| 797 | * AllWebbedUp: Though him doing this to someone is almost always lethal, as his webbing is razor sharp. |
| 798 | * AnimalEyes: He has compound eyes originally in the shape of Spider-Man's lenses, but they've since become six spider-like ones. |
| 799 | * AngryGuardDog: For the Magus, then Demogoblin, and finally Shriek and Carnage. |
| 800 | * ArtificialHuman: According to some scientists, he is "inorganic and may not have been legally alive to begin with". |
| 801 | * AscendedExtra: Spider-Doppelganger was just one of many distorted doppelgangers of Earth's superheroes spawned by Magus in the ''Infinity War'' storyline. Aside from Thanos's Doppelganger (who was uniquely identical to the original Thanos), Spider-Man's Doppelganger is the only one who continued to appear beyond that event. |
| 802 | * BackFromTheDead: |
| 803 | ** He was impaled by Hobgoblin, but healed by Demogoblin, which had the effect of stopping him from being destroyed when the Magus was defeated at the conclusion of the Infinity War. |
| 804 | ** Carnage gutted him in ''ComicBook/MaximumCarnage'', though he resurfaced without explanation years later. |
| 805 | ** Shortly into his reappearance, he was shot almost completely in half by Royal Blue, but revived while being autopsied. |
| 806 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Why he allied with Demogoblin and Shriek. |
| 807 | * BaldOfEvil: Seeing how his costume is actually his skin he lacks hair. |
| 808 | * TheBerserker: It is completely feral in combat, using its fangs, claws, and razor-webbing to brutally attack its enemies. |
| 809 | * BuildingSwing: Being a copy of Spider-Man, he can create organic webbing. |
| 810 | * CastHerd: Despite being completely unrelated to them, Doppelgänger has often ingratiated himself with the Symbiote characters due to his physical resemblance to one, particularly Carnage |
| 811 | * CeilingCling: He can cling to walls and horizontal surfaces. Usually leads to DroolHello. |
| 812 | * ChestInsignia: He has a copy of Spider-Man's signature emblems on his chest and back. |
| 813 | * CriminalDoppelganger: One of the few Spider-Man duplicates who is unrelated to the Jackal. |
| 814 | * DisabilityImmunity: Instead of killing him, Demogoblin took him on as an accomplice, apparently not regarding him as a "sinner" due to him being no more intelligent than the average dog. |
| 815 | * DumbMuscle: He has no real will of his own, and is thus used as a henchman by other villains. |
| 816 | * EasilyForgiven: He's gotten passed Carnage shredding him, going back to obeying his commands, and even attempting to warn him about Scorn. |
| 817 | * EnemyMine[=/=]TokenEvilTeammate: Doppelgänger, or at least an AU version of him, can be seen in ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse'' fighting the Inheritors as part of the Spider Army. How the good guys convinced him to join them is a mystery. |
| 818 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He was fond of Demogoblin, and regards Shriek as his mother. |
| 819 | * EvilKnockOff: Was explicitly created to be one of Spider-Man. |
| 820 | * ExtraEyes: As of his reappearance, he's developed multiple eyes. |
| 821 | * FangsAreEvil: He has a mouth full of fangs almost reminiscent of a symbiote's. |
| 822 | * FishOutOfWater: He's a living geometric pattern from another dimension forced into a twisted humanoid form resembling Spider-Man, stuck in Manhattan. |
| 823 | * HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: He was shot in half by Royal Blue, leaving him crawling around on his numerous arms, to rather creepy effect. His legs have grown back by the time of ''Spider-Verse''. |
| 824 | * HealingFactor: Presumably how he survived being mortally wounded multiple times. |
| 825 | * HumanoidAbomination: Doppelgänger is a living geometric pattern from another dimension that was forcefully transmuted into a monstrous copy of Spider-Man. |
| 826 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Hobgoblin knocked him onto a spiked fence, but he was saved by Demogoblin. |
| 827 | * LightningBruiser: It is just as fast and strong as the original Spider-Man. |
| 828 | * MagicEnhancement: Being turned into an artificial copy of Spider-Man is apparently enough to make him qualify as a Spider-Totem. |
| 829 | * MultiArmedAndDangerous: His six clawed arms. |
| 830 | * NotAMask: There's no monstrous version of Peter Parker in there; the "costume" is his actual skin. |
| 831 | * OutrunTheFireball: Does this at the end of ''Carnage U.S.A.''. |
| 832 | * {{Phlegmings}}: Is occasionally drawn with strings of drool between his fangs. |
| 833 | * RazorFloss: His biological webbing is sharp enough to slice into Iron Man's Bleeding Edge armor. |
| 834 | * TheRemnant: He is the sole survivor of the Magus's army of evil duplicates. |
| 835 | * SuddenlyVoiced: When he reappeared, he displayed the ability to talk, albeit only a few slurred words. |
| 836 | * SuperStrength: Presumably to a greater degree than Spidey, due to his additional limbs. |
| 837 | * ToServeMan: Not at all against eating humans. |
| 838 | * UnexplainedRecovery: After being fatally wounded by Carnage, he inexplicably returned over a decade later, presumably due to a previously unknown HealingFactor. |
| 839 | * TheUnintelligible: When he talks it comes out like this. |
| 840 | * WakingUpAtTheMorgue: After apparently being shot to pieces by Royal Blue, he wakes up on the autopsy table. |
| 841 | * WallCrawl: Like the real Spider-Man he can easily cling to vertical surfaces. |

When attempting to kiss Electro, Francine died from electrocution. After recovering genetic material from her corpse, the Jackal brought her back to life, initially as an incentive to have the recently-depowerd Electro work with him. After a procedure that failed to give Electro his powers back, the suit that was meant to transfer its energy to him started to discharge into Francine. Francine was pulled by the energy discharge of the suit, and she kissed Electro in order to grow in power. She ended up absorbing all of the suit's power, but accidentally fried Electro in the process and replace him as new Electro. |

| 863 | * UsefulNotes/{{Punk}}: She had dyed hair, tattoos and a lot metal piercings before she was killed. Her new clone body had none of these things, and she doesn't seem to have gotten them back. |

| 962 | Richard Deacon was a small-time criminal who was shot by the police and left for dead after an unsuccessful kidnapping attempt which was foiled by Spider-Man. Stumbling into the laboratory of Dr. Harlan Stillwell (whose brother Farley Stillwell created the Scorpion for J. Jonah Jameson), Deacon coerces the scientist into saving his life. Overhearing an offer Jameson made with Stillwell to fund the creation of a new superhero, Deacon insists he be the subject of the experiment. Stillwell imprints the genetic coding of a housefly onto Deacon, empowering him and healing him of his bullet wounds. Deacon then kills Harlan Stillwell after he served his purpose and uses his newfound powers to further his criminal ambitions. He first uses Jameson as bait to get revenge on Spider-Man. Due to his inexperience, the Fly is no match for him and is defeated. Some time later, Deacon begins to display fly-like tendencies like eating garbage. He also develops physical mutations, including facet eyes. The Fly was killed by the Scourge of the Underworld. He was later brought back by the Hood and received power enhancements. |

| 971 | * SuperToughness: The tissues of Deacon's body are somewhat harder and tougher than those of an ordinary human. While far from invulnerable, Deacon is able to withstand impact and concussive forces that would severely injure or kill a normal human with little to no discomfort. For instance, Deacon can withstand a fall from a height of 40 feet without sustaining even the slightest injury, provided he lands on his feet. |
| 972 | * WallCrawl: Deacon's toes and fingers are covered in small, adhesive-secreting glands that enable him to cling to most conventional materials. |
| 973 | * WindFromBeneathMyWings: Deacon's wings produce a high-pitched buzzing sound and he can vibrate his wings in opposite directions at tremendous speeds for the purpose of creating a powerful shockwave. At its maximum, the wave can hit with a concussive force equal to about 50 pounds of TNT. |
| 974 | * WingedHumanoid: Deacon is able to fly through the air via the use of tough, membrane-like wings. He is able to propel himself at speeds of at least 69 miles per hour. He is typically able to support his own weight plus an additional 150 lbs while in flight and still fly at his top speed |

| 999 | [[quoteright:290:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/freak_in_line.jpg]] |
| 1000 | !!! '''Alter Ego:''' Unknown |
| 1001 | !!! '''First Appearance:''' ''Amazing Spider-Man'' #546 (January, 2008) |
| 1002 | |
| 1003 | Freak was nameless junkie who, following a clash with Spider-Man, fell through a skylight into the laboratory of Curt Connors, a.k.a. the Lizard. Finding some syringes, he injected himself with animal stem cell fluids, thinking that they were crystal meth. Freak then began to form a chrysalis around his body, emerging as a skinless monster. After being shot at by the police, he fell into the sewer and formed another chrysalis. Emerging as an animal hybrid, and completely bulletproof, Freak discovered that he was effectively immortal: every time he dies, he goes into a chrysalis and is reborn, and now immune to whatever killed him last time. |
| 1004 | ---- |
| 1005 | * AdaptiveAbility: Freak became horribly deformed after injecting himself with mutagens, but as a result was able to form a cocoon around himself when he died and regenerate with an adaptation against whatever killed him. Such deaths included being set on fire (resulting in a leathery hide), getting shot (armour plating) and strangulation (thicker musculature, particularly around the neck), but he was always just as hideous as before, and all he did with his powers was try to find more drugs to snort up. |
| 1006 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Hasn't been seen since the "Origin of the Species" storyline. |
| 1007 | * GivingThemTheStrip: During his first fight with Spider-Man, before he gained his powers, Freak escaped after Spidey webbed him to some pipes by ripping his way out of his clothes. |
| 1008 | * HealingFactor: Freak's regenerative capacity allows him to heal himself of serious injuries. |
| 1009 | * ImmuneToBullets: After his first death Freak became bulletproof. |
| 1010 | * ImmuneToDrugs: Freak is completely invulnerable to most of the poisons, toxins and drugs of the earth, in addition to acquiring complete immunity to them after being exposed only once, and Freak's brain no longer has pleasure centers, which makes it impossible for him to experience the "high" from recreational drugs. |
| 1011 | * JackUpWithPhlebotinum: Freak got his powers after consuming a mutagen thinking it was a new designer narcotic. |
| 1012 | * {{Jerkass}}: Aside from being a murderous supervillain, Freak tried to steal a donation box from a homeless shelter so he could use the money to buy himself more drugs. |
| 1013 | * NeverMyFault: He blames his drug addiction on people making fun of his different-colored eyes his whole life and blames his hideous appearance on Spider-Man for chasing him into Dr. Conners' lab where he found his animal stem cell fluids and injected himself with them. |
| 1014 | * NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Freak has the power to evolve every time he is killed by something. He nearly got killed by bullet-shots and fire so now he is evolved to be fire-proof and bullet-proof. |
| 1015 | * TheNoseKnows: Freak's sense of smell is so good that he even managed to find Spider-Man just because of his smell, even when he was in another part of the city. |
| 1016 | * PoisonousPerson: After being experimented on in Oscorp Labs, he acquired the capacity to generate a poison so powerful that it has no comparison with any other created on earth. |
| 1017 | * PupatingPeril: When Freak dies his body is surrounded by an acidic chrysalis that gives him the ability to spontaneously return to life mutated. |
| 1018 | * ResurrectiveImmortality: When Freak dies, his body is surrounded by an acidic chrysalis that gives him the ability to spontaneously return to life mutated, acquiring the ability to survive any danger that has mortally wounded him before, and generally being more powerful. |
| 1019 | * SuperSenses: Freak's sense of smell has increased since he came back to life due to animal genes and constant mutations. |
| 1020 | * SuperStrength: Initially, he possessed a level of superhuman strength, and he has shown that his strength can increase with each rejuvenation. He has been measured as being able to lift at least 3 tons. |
| 1021 | * SuperToughness: After his first death, Freak became bulletproof. After his second death, Freak became fireproof. |
| 1022 | * TooDumbToLive: He chose to inject himself with the contents of unlabeled syringes, despite having no idea what could be in them. |
| 1023 | * UndiscriminatingAddict: Injected himself with some random syringes he found in a lab on the assumption they were narcotics. |
| 1024 | * WolverineClaws: Developed razor-sharp claws following his second resurrection. |

| 1032 | |
| 1033 | Discovering that he had the ability to persuade people into doing whatever he wanted while manipulating their senses as a child, Wayne Markley used his power to make millions, creating technology to enhance his powers even further, making himself - in his own words - a "more-than-perfect killing machine". However, his life was changed when his son Jeremy died while trying to imitate his hero Spider-Man. Unable to accept that his powers couldn't help him, Fusion decided to take revenge on the wall-crawler. |
| 1034 | ---- |
| 1035 | * AchillesHeel: His powers can be thrown off once the person knows what Fusion really is, rendering them relatively useless in a fight once he has lost the initial advantage. |
| 1036 | * AllYourPowersCombined: Invoked and subverted. He is merely able to manipulate the perceptions of others so that he appears to have different powers. |
| 1037 | * BullyingADragon: He "forces" Dr. Octopus to work for him. Not a smart move. |
| 1038 | * MasterOfIllusion: Markley can persuade people to do what he wants, to see what he wants, and to hear what he wants. Basically, he controls peoples' perceptions. For example, he can create the illusion that he has multiple powers and abilities. |
| 1039 | * MisplacedRetribution: His son Jeremy died while trying to imitate his hero Spider-Man. So naturally he blames Spidey and tries to frame him when his evil plan causes the death of three hundred people. |
| 1040 | * {{Mutants}}: When he was a child, Markley discovered he was a mutant. |
| 1041 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: Thought he had intimidated Doctor Octopus into acting as his flunky, but actually Octavius was just letting Fusion do the hard work until he was ready to take over the other man's scheme. |
| 1042 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Octavius reveals that he had simply pretended to be weak in order to acquire Fusion's device and sell it to the highest bidder, subsequently beating Fusion half to death while mocking the other man for believing Octavius could ever be so pathetic. |

| 1131 | While in New York, the High Evolutionary came upon a zoo hippopotamus that, despite being male, was inexplicably named Mrs. Fluffy Lumpkins. On a whim, the Evolutionary anthropomorphized the hippo, and imbued it with human-level intellect. Lumpkins, now just going by Hippo, embarked a crime spree, which ended when he had a leg eaten by Spider-Man (in actuality, the Mac Gargan version of Venom impersonating Spider-Man). The rest of Hippo was subsequently eaten when he allied with the Redeemer, a psychiatrist who was convinced he could rehabilitate the seemingly rogue Spider-Man.

Nobody feeds me for free anymore, yo! I eat 90 pounds of food every day! I got bills!! Oh sure. Get a job, right?
