10 Villains Spider-Man Has NEVER Defeated

2. Magneto

Spider-Man Magneto
Marvel Comics

Definitely one of the more surprising entries on this list, seeing as how Spider-Man and Magneto are two of the oldest characters in Marvel comics, you would think that in all the times Spidey has crossed over with the X-Men, he would have popped off one fatal hit on the master of magnetism at some point.

But nope, Magneto and Spidey have fought very rarely, and every time they have, Spidey has never come out on top. Notably, in Avengers Vs X-Men and House of M, Spidey was among the many heroes taking on Magneto during those events, and he couldn't land a single hit on Magneto even when he tried.

The closest he came was during the Renew Your Vows series when he fought Magneto directly, and even then he needed the help of his family and the X-Men to actually keep the master mutant down.

Who knows if Spider-Man will actually ever be able to take down Magneto. It's certainly possible, but if it ever comes to a one on one fight, Spidey will definitely have an uphill battle ahead of him.
