3. Rhino In One Ear & Out The Other
Rhino is a very simple character; probably one of the most simple villains in the entire Spider-Man universe. He's simple in the sense that he was originally just a dim-witted thug who signed up for an experimental study, allowing the military to cover him in a super-rhino-suit (TASM #41). All he wants to do is destroy the scientists that "forced him" to wear the suit, only because they were the ones who made him like this. His powers are amazing; the rhino suit gives him both superhuman strength and speed, makes him impervious to external forces and extreme temperatures, and for some reason allows him to stay awake for up to 24 hours at a time. The only reason Rhino has any ill will toward Spider-Man is because Spidey (with the help of a serum made by Doctor Kurt Connors aka The Lizard) is the only one with the ability to melt off the super-suit and knock him out. There's never been much of a brain behind Rhino's schemes
it might have something to do with the rhino-hide suit suffocating his brain
but as often as he ends up losing, he doesn't ever quit.
In The Amazing Spider-Man 2, this will be the first ever film-appearance of the Rhino, presumably under his original name, Aleksei Mikhailovich Sytsevich. As mentioned before, Rhino is actually one of the absolute dumbest villains Spider-Man has ever encountered. It seems a bit off that Paul Giamatti will be playing the part, as he's quite far from the big, brooding, brute that we expect of this character, so it's tough to guess which direction this will be heading. Thankfully Rhino doesn't typically say much, due to the fact that he's not very smart, so this gives Spider-Man a lot of opportunities to practice his wit. Typically, talking smack to a brick wall isn't too interesting, but thankfully, our brick wall is meanwhile destroying a city, so it could turn out to be a humorous scene in the film.
