->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/MichaelKeaton
->'''Appearances:''' ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming''

-->''"Don't mess with me. Because I will kill you, and everybody you love."''

The blue collar head of a salvaging company who turns to crime after a government organization founded by Tony Stark threatens to run him out of business.
----
* AFatherToHisMen[=/=]BenevolentBoss: He looks after his goons, who used to be fellow employees at his salvaging company.
* AnimalMotifs: Models himself after vultures.
* ArchEnemy: He sees Tony Stark as his.
* ArmsDealer: He and his gang sell advanced weaponry to criminals, which is what puts them on Spider-Man's radar in the first place.
* BigBad: He's the one leading the criminal ring Peter battles throughout ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming''.
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: Is given his powers by a flight-enabling wingsuit similar to Comicbook/TheFalcon's. The helmet itself is based on an ''[[http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/11/02/article-0-192802AC00000578-79_634x583.jpg RAF Prototype Helmet]]''.
* CompositeCharacter: Has the namesake and older age of the Mainstream Universe Vulture, but is a professional criminal and receives his wingsuit from the Tinkerer as opposed to inventing it himself like the Ultimate Universe Vulture.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: Stark does, inadvertently. In creating a government agency to help with disasters left in the wake of superheroes, Stark ran Toomes out of business, which led him to a life of crime.
* DarkIsEvil: His suit is very dark in color.
* DontMakeMeDestroyYou: Peter isn't his target, but he warns him that if he gets in the way of his goals, he will not hesitate to kill him.
* EvilCounterpart: ''Homecoming'' co-producer Eric Hauserman Carroll likens him to a "dark Tony Stark." This Vulture also comes off as being an evil version of MCU's Falcon, as both are [[AnimalMotif bird-themed]] and utilize mechanical wings that enable flight, only Vulture uses his for evil.
* EvilIsBigger: In terms of equipment, compared to the Falcon's wingsuit, the Vulture's is ''[[http://cdn.collider.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/spider-man-homecoming-vulture-slice-600x200.png massive]]''.
* EvilOldFolks: His actor is in his mid-sixties. This is actually a minor case of AgeLift, as Vulture is usually depicted as being decrepitly old.
* EvilSoundsDeep: A given given Keaton's flair to [[GutturalGrowler deepen his voice]]. Might count as a ShoutOut too to Film/{{Birdman}} where he used a similar voice for the title character.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He has a family he cares about, and uses this to pull a NotSoDifferent on Peter before [[AndYourLittleDogToo threatening to kill his family]] because he ''knows'' how much it would hurt.
* FreudianExcuse: He was originally an average Joe who ran a business that specialized in cleaning up public areas after disasters and supervillain attacks. Then Tony Stark drove him out of business by creating a new government agency that does that job instead, endangering his family's financial situation. This leads to him and his crew using the Chitauri tech he salvaged to build weapons and go after him in revenge.
* FrickinLaserBeams: Uses one to slice a cargo ship in half.
* FutureCopter: In addition to wings, his Vulture suit has VTOL rotors.
* GreenAndMean: His wingsuit helmet has bright green eyes.
* ImportedAlienPhlebotinum: His suit incorporates technology leftover from [[Film/TheAvengers2012 the Chitauri invasion of New York]].
* KnightOfCerebus: Exaggerated in the initially joyful trailer, which becomes much more serious and grim as soon as he appears.
* MeaningfulName: "The Vulture" has an added meaning in the movie that wasn't present in the original comics, as this version of the character scavenges technology leftover from previous supervillains.
* MovieSuperheroesWearBlack: Zig-zagged. His costume is definitely darker than what the Vulture wears in the comics, but there's still green in it.
* MythologyGag:
** The Vulture and The Tinkerer were introduced in the same issue of ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' way back in 1963, albeit in separate stories. They're also two of the earliest villains Spider-Man ever fought (pre-dating the likes of Doctor Octopus and the Green Goblin), which works well with the younger version of Peter Parker portrayed in the film.
** The collar on his flight jacket is meant to mimic the white ruff of feathers the Vulture has on his costume in the comics.
* NoisyRobots: His suit makes a robotic noise when he turns around.
* NotSoDifferent: As he tells Peter, both of them do what they do out of a desire to protect their families and loved ones.
* PoweredArmor: His wingsuit.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: He is still the main villain of Spidey's movie and still faces him, but his vendetta is against Iron Man, while Spidey is just in his way.
* WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys: From Tinkerer, who is Vulture's gadget man.
* WouldHurtAChild: He directly threatens to kill Peter and his loved ones.

[[folder:Herman Schultz / The Shocker]]
!!''Herman Schultz / Shocker''
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mcu_shocker_7.png]]
->'''Portayed By:''' Bokeem Woodbine
->'''Appearances:''' ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming''

A former employee of Toomes' business. He later became a criminal allied with the Vulture who uses high-tech vibrational gauntlets.
----
* AdaptationOriginConnection: Shocker was originally introduced years after the Vulture was in the original comics, and the two characters were completely unrelated. Here, Schultz worked for Toomes before becoming one of his goons.
* BlowYouAway: Shocker's abilities is to project air blasts through vibrations, made available by his self-invented gauntlets.
* TheDragon: Acts as one of Toomes' enforcers.
* MalevolentMaskedMan: Covers his face with his suit's mask.
* MythologyGag: This Shocker's suit seems to take inspiration from his counterpart in the ''VideoGame/TheAmazingSpiderMan2'' video game adaptation.
* RaceLift: Though traditionally depicted as Caucasian, this Shocker is played by black actor Bokeem Woodbine.

[[folder:Phineas Mason / Tinkerer]]
!!''Phineas Mason / Tinkerer''
->'''Portayed By:''' Michael Chernus
->'''Appearances:''' ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming''

An inventor who works closely with the Vulture. He's able to make gadgets of all sorts out of common household objects.
----
* AdaptationOriginConnection: While Tinkerer and Vulture were originally introduced in the same issue, neither of their stories had anything to do with one another. Here, he's an ex-Stark Industries employee that is in league with Toomes and helps supply him with the flight suit.
* AgeLift: Unlike his elderly counterpart in the comics, this Tinkerer is much younger.
* ArmsDealer: He helps create advanced supervillain weaponry for the Vulture, which is then sold to criminals.
* CompositeCharacter: He's Phineas Mason like the classic Tinkerer, but like Elijah Stern, the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Tinkerer, a decade or two younger.
* EvilCounterpart: He is this to Tony Stark. Just as Iron Man provides technology and advice to Peter, the Tinkerer allies himself with the Vulture and contributes to his schemes with his gadgets.
* EvilGenius: A villainous technowizard.
* GadgeteerGenius: His main claim is that he can make gadgets, hence his alias.
* MythologyGag: The Vulture and The Tinkerer were introduced in the same issue of ''The Amazing Spider Man'' way back in 1963, albeit in separate stories. They're also two of the earliest villains Spider-Man ever fought (pre-dating the likes of Doctor Octopus and the Green Goblin), which works well with the younger version of Peter Parker portrayed in the film.
