10 More Spider-Man TV Shows That Could Join Silk On Amazon Prime
8. Tombstone
When you think of Spider-Man villains, chances are names like Green Goblin, Electro, and Scorpion come to mind. They're iconic, but better off in the same movie as the web-slinger rather than in their own solo outings. However, Tombstone is definitely a baddie who could hold his own on television.
As a child, Lonnie Thompson was bullied for his unorthodox appearance; ultimately, he grew stronger and taller than his peers, and made sure to pay them back. However, the way he was treated also sent him down a dark path, and he became a hitman who took full advantage of his unique appearance.
Filing his teeth down to spikes, he would speak only in whispers and was eventually injected with an experimental serum which have him enhanced strength and unbreakable skin.
Telling the story of this gangster could be a lot of fun, and while focusing on a villain might be a hard sell, there are ways to make him sympathetic, and another compelling lead - an NYPD Detective, for example - could make this a fun game of cat and mouse, exploring a new side of the Marvel Universe.
