10 Underrated Supervillains Who Deserved Better

10. Ezekiel Sims

Half spider-powers, half monkey-based name, and all engaging villainous monologues, Ezekiel Sims is easily the best forgotten villain to ever grace the Spider-Man universe.

Gaining his Spidey-powers through bizarre ancient rituals, Sims served as the mentor of Cindy Moon - known perhaps better as Silk. For the vast majority of his time featured in comics Sims seems like a fairly nice guy - right up until, in a classic nice guy twist, it turns out he's only been nice to Spider-Man so it's easier to sacrifice him to a spooky deity made of spiders.

However, proving that not all of Ezekiel's friendly dynamics were to lure Peter to his death, upon Spider-Man showing him all his heroic deeds (through, surprise-surprise, weird Spider powers), Ezekiel ultimately sacrifices himself so that the superhero can continue to do good.

While Sims' intentions are evil, he possesses just enough goodness to make him complex, making him exactly the kind of character you want to see have more of a major role in the future.
