How Batman Would Defeat Every Spider-Man Villain

Dmitri Nikolaievich Smerdyakov used his natural skills as a mimic and an impersonator to try to gain the love of his abusive stepfamily, including half brother Sergei Kravinoff, the future Kraven the Hunter. His skills brought him to the attention of a man called the Finisher and he gained such skill in disguise and impersonation that he earned the name The Chameleon. He first came on Spider-Man’s radar when he tried to frame the hero for stealing plans for a new missile defense system.

As a master of disguise himself, Batman is likely to not be fooled by anything less than the most perfect impersonation, especially if it is someone that Bruce knows well. Batman would know most of the skills that Chameleon employs and his observation skills would spot something that was out of place. Batman would notice a slip in accent or a mole out of place.

There wouldn’t even be a problem with a physical altercation. Because of the abuse that Dmitri suffered early in life, the normally scary Dark Knight might be enough to make the Chameleon quit immediately. The least bit of aggressive behavior on Batman’s part would see the Chameleon crumble to the floor.
