The Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Venom, the Sandman, Lizard, Electro and Rhino – these are all classic Spider-Man villains who have been depicted (with varying degrees of success) in the Webbed Wonder’s movies to date.

While they didn’t all turn out to be great on film (Topher Grace’s Venom was absolutely horrendous, for example), the fact is that they are all iconic enough to at least have had their turn without anybody wondering why that’s the case. However, for every fantastic villain in Spider-Man’s rogues gallery (it’s undoubtedly one of the best in comic books, along with Batman’s), there are just as many that are absolutely terrible.

If certain enemies of Spidey turned up in a movie, millions of the character’s fans would be asking why. This article will list some of them who just don’t cut the mustard as far as being movie-worthy is concerned. Here are ten awful Spider-Man villains we never want to see in a movie.

Human Fly

The Human Fly – also sometimes known simply as the Fly – is Richard Deacon. Deacon is a small-time crook who first came into contact with Spider-Man when he was carrying out a kidnapping, prior to becoming super-powered, but he has gone on to face the Webbed Wonder several times since.

When Spidey helped to put a stop to Deacon’s kidnapping attempt, the crook wanted revenge on the hero. Having been shot by the police, fallen into a river and presumed dead, he had actually survived and found his way to the laboratory of a scientist – Dr. Harlan Stillwell – who he knew was interested in creating a being to defeat Spider-Man.

Before he knew it, Deacon was strapped to a machine and impregnated with the genetic coding of a common housefly. He developed fly-like abilities, such as the ability to fly, cling to to walls, produce ultrasonic waves from his giant wings, see in every direction and proportionate strength – as well as the vile ability to produce a highly acidic vomit.

He’s absolutely disgusting – and not someone we ever want to see in a live action Spider-Man movie.
