I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Venom, easily.
My favorite is The Lizard though.

Meh. Just a super venom. Nothing too special or unique.

Green Goblin. Because he is not a desperate response to Todd McFarlane's schtick.

As Sartre noted in his contemplation on Hell in No Exit, the true horror is other members.
Oh cool I have this awful movie for you to see....
Yup. Venom is lame.

Between the two, GG. I've always been a fan of Kraven the Hunter tho.

Steve, the dog with no powers that we let hang out with us all for some reason
Norman Osborn.
He's more scary without the costume.

Yeah for some reason i like his design much better than GG too.
ITT no ones answers Sandman. Spidey 3 could have been a great movie without him.

Venom by a country mile. If the new Amazing Spiderman takes off I'd love to see them do a trilogy for the Black Costume and Maximum Carnage.

Between those two, Green Goblin, easily.
Also, Flash Thompson is a much better take on Venom.

I have a hard time deciding between Joe Quesada and Dan Slott.

Venom. Green Goblin isn't bad (certainly better than stupid villains like the Rhino and Sandman), but Venom was Spider-Man's dark mirror. A theme that doesn't get old to me.

That is a shockingly compelling argument...

I agree with this. Doc Ock is a better villain if only because of the ways he mirrors Spider-Man... they're both geniuses, both have an 8-limbed critter schtick, both bullied, etc.
Venom is essentially just evil Spider-Man on steroids and... I honestly don't see the appeal of the (classic) Green Goblin. He's just a garden variety nutter. They've transformed him into a crazy businessman politician type over the years, but its always felt weak. That said, I do like the Ultimate universe Osborn a lot more... I think because he was created from the get-go to be the crazy CEO type.

In theory: Venom
In reality: Green Goblin

Eddie Brock Venom was played by Topher Grace in the shitastic 3rd movie. Green Goblin wins.

venom by far. made spider-man feel obsolete at times. his spider-sense couldn't detect him and he would always be outmatched (though spidey was smarter).
Fucked Pete, yet wants Peter to be his son and heir.
he hasnt put two and two together. but getting his first love preggos and then killing her? he locked in the number one spot right there

Rhino's a bit more than a guy in a costume. Not much, but a bit. His suit has super durability and can't be removed and all that.
Osborn>Goblin>Venom. I love Venom's concept, but he really does work better as an antihero.

And beat me to it. This event alone solidifies Goblin as the ultimate Spidey villain.Green Goblin has done more damage to Spider-man then Venom ever has.

I still have this issue.
I am doing black heroes for the month.
I love how Osborn is so smart and controlling, but there is a thin layer between that and batshit crazy.
