1. Green Goblin

I'm sure some of you may object to the Green Goblin placing so highly, but stop a minute and think back to what Norman Osborn has done to Spider-Man over the years. This is the man who murdered Peter Parker's teenage girlfriend, faked the death of his beloved Aunt May to try and drive him insane, and even made the hero doubt his very existence when he tricked Spidey into believing he was a clone (and when Peter formed a brotherly bond with Ben Reilly, the Goblin killed him too).

The Green Goblin has also inspired a twisted legacy of pretenders to his throne (including his own son, Harry), and that ensures Spider-Man will forever be plagued by his greatest enemy. However, there's only one true Goblin, and he cemented his position in the Marvel Universe as true big bad after taking over S.H.I.E.L.D. and forming the Dark Avengers, a team responsible for killing Ares and destroying Asgard! Which Marvel villains do you think deserve to be on this list? Share your favourites below in the comments thread.
