Shocker would make a good jobber-type villain, like what Scarecrow became in TDK trilogy.

I guess I was being a little harsh, what I mean is a lot of them besides the ones used I can't see translating too well to live-action, unless you go the Nolan route ( and I really, really hope they don't). I don't hope that either because not EVERY superhero films HAS to follow & copy Nolan's route when it came to his comic book films

Because shoehorning the villains doesn't make sense to the plots and the themes the first two films were trying to go for. That was the problem with Spider-Man 3 with it's too many villains. Well and the amnesia storyline, and the love triangle and many other problems but Venom was really forcefully shoehorned in. It didn't make any sense. The third film should of just been Sandman and Harry Osbourne. A Mexican Standoff story of Revenge of Peter Parker trying to avenge Uncle Ben's murder and Harry Osborne trying to do the same thing against Peter Parker. It just detracts from the story and becomes a movie filled with nothing but noise and no substance. This is one of the reasons why I did not like "Spider-Man 3." Don't forget that Harry Osborn had a face turn towards the end and he was teaming with Spidey. I know that Sam Raimi wanted to do a movie with a story on The Sandman and that was fine, and adding Goblin to the mix would have worked. However, the studios and the fans demanded that we get Venom which I felt was tacked on at the last minute, not to mention that I can't really take Topher Grace seriously after seeing him as Eric Forman (I CAN, however, take him more seriously in "Traffic," though). Let's not forget the storylines involving Gwen Stacy, and Peter strutting down the street. *shudder*

You have to give Spidey's and Flash's villains some credit. They somehow manage to hold their own against heroes that far outclass them. Flash could snap all the Rogues' necks without them knowing, and Spidey could easily kill all of his foes with a single punch if he used his full proportional strength. Spidey has a lot of villains he can't handle in a brawl, like Sandman, Carnage, Rhino, Lizard, or Hydroman...the problem is a lot of these guys aren't half as smart as he is Flash, though...sometimes I wonder why the Rogues even try...

Carnage and Lizard I'll give you, but the others still can't really do much to Spidey, they just benefit from being really hard to kill. Sandman and Hydroman because it is hard to kill sand and water, and Rhino cause he's just too damn stubborn.

They were both in the Spider-Man 2 Video game based on the movie at least and were fun.

I did want a Lizard story arc... and then we got three, which was just horrible. I was REALLY excited for the Green Goblin/Spidey arc to hit it's climax, and then we got that movie. :\ Lizard ruled.

I wonder if we'll ever get Molten Man. Granted, it would have to be CGI, but that character could work.
