10 Villains Sony's Spider-Verse Must Introduce (And Who Should Play Them)

10. The Spot (Neil Patrick Harris)

The Spot is a silly character at first glance. A white body covered in black circles, one may assume he's a better fit for a 101 Dalmations reboot than Sony's grittier world. The Spot has the ability to create portals to other dimensions, which he uses as weapons and transports during combat.

Dr. Jonathan Ohnn is traditionally shown as a low-level villain that shouldn't be taken seriously. He's a member of the Legion of Losers, a Spider-Man revenge squad composed of other ridiculous characters that the webhead has defeated time and time with minimal effort.

However, The Spot has plenty of potential, especially if the right actor is given the role. Neil Patrick Harris oozes charisma and has the comedic chops needed to make The Spot entertaining. His dramatic talents can add more depth to this character.

Similar to the fan casting that vouched for him as The Riddler, envision a cinematic Spot being introduced and put away swiftly, almost becoming an afterthought in Sony's world. That is, until NPH snaps and forces everyone to take him seriously.

Imagine him ripping Zendaya's MJ or Michelle Williams' Anne Weying away from this world and sending them to some unknown dimension. Intimate yet massive moments like this will help build great character arcs for Sony's protagonists and raising the stakes in this world.
