10 Most Powerful Spider-Man Villains

THanks to the recent success of Sony's Venom film, fans around the world know all too well how dangerous this character can be. Still, the one seen on film and the one from the comics are not all that similar. Back when he was first created, Venom was about as evil as he could be.

After being cast aside by Peter Parker, the Venom symbiote found a kindred spirit in Eddie Brock making the two merged beings into one sizable threat, the villain known as Venom. When he first showed up, he terrorized Peter and Mary Jane, but that's not all he did.

He regularly killed people in the beginning, and he did so in gruesome ways. While it's true the character has morphed into more of an antihero these days, back in the beginning he was little more than a monster who was almost impossible to stop.

Venom has all of Spider-Man's powers and then some. He knew everything about Peter Parker, and he used that information to upend his life. He is also incredibly large, possesses greater strength, doesn't hold himself back in any way, and can literally bite people's heads off if he so chooses.
