10 Essential Spider-Man Storylines That Should Be Made Into Movies

3. Superior Foes Of Spider-Man

Iohiohiohiohoihio Spinning off of Superior Spider-Man, Superior Foes of Spider-Man is a brilliant mix of Superior Spider-Man and Hawkeye. It's a new version of the Sinister Six, albeit only with five members: Boomerang, Beetle, Overdrive, Shocker and Speed Demon. So does anyone think these five loser villains could pose a real problem to Spider-Man, Peter or Otto? Of course not, but that's not the point. Superior Foes is a comedic title, taking some of Spidey's lamest villains and giving them their own separate storylines. They battle self-esteem issues, their own incompetencies, their uncomfortableness with one another and try to become serious villains by pulling off heists like stealing a cyborg head! As Mark Millar and Leinil Yu proved with Supercrooks, supervillains pulling off heists make for some awesome comics, and throw in the occasional Spider-Man appearance and you've got a winner! Audiences respond to the light-hearted approach of Marvel's recent movies and are getting weary of the "grim and gritty" Nolan approach to superhero movies - the funny Superior Foes could be a real winner and breathe some life into the superhero movie genre by focusing on the villains for a change.
