10 Villains Who Could Kickstart The Spider-Man Reboot

Earlier this year, we brought you a list of ten characters that we'd love to see appear in the Spider-Man re-reboot, comprised of a few friends, foes and females from Peter Parker's comic life. Now, with the news that new Spidey star Tom Holland has reportedly already filmed his Captain America: Civil War cameo, we thought it was time to start pondering which of the character's iconic villains could kick his latest screen adventure off on the right foot!

Spidey Shocker

Wait, didn’t we see something like this pretty recently? And didn’t it fall spectacularly flat? Yes and yes, but nothing about Electro was done right in Amazing Spider-Man 2. Fortunately, having a character like Shocker in the villain roster allows for this story to get a rather cheeky second attempt.

After spending an early part of his super-villain life as somewhat of a joke, Herman Schultz is a character that’s developed a more menacing side over recent comic book stories. He’d make a good starting point for a fledgling hero like Parker and, if used properly, could become a recurring character who turns himself into a greater threat as Peter gains stature.

His involvement in various teams like the Sinister Six also makes him a good candidate, as he’d open early doors to the team finally getting a place on the big screen once the franchise is established.
