I don't know much about Spider Man (Spiderman? Spider-Man?) but he is sharky's favorite superhero, so we were discussing stuff about the Spider Man universe, including the villains.
Who is your favorite villain?
Venom. Although I've always had a soft spot for Scorpion. Back when I used to do Spider-Man comics for fun Scorpion was always my starter villain.
J Jonah Jameson. He counts as a spiderman villain, right?
Doctor smurfing Octopus.
When my dad first came home with a Windows 95 computer, they included several disks of games I remember enjoying quite a bit. One of them was this awesome Spider-man game in which you could create your own scenarios. It was just the neatest thing to me, and Doc Ock has been my favorite since then. And also from watching the cartoons as a kid.

Carnage.
Willem Dafoe.
Doc Oc!
And Mysterio is my guilty pleasure.
During the discussion, I brought up how big name heroes go through their fair share of introducing weak villains and second tier heroes. Rocket Racer was cited as an example.
There's several I've enjoyed. I like Green Goblin obviously, The Hobgoblin, Jack O'Lantern, Mysterio, Vermin, Doc Oc, The Lizard, The Rhino, Dr. Strange, and some others. Obviously Venom and Carnage are pretty high on the list.
Poverty.
Norman Osborn really is the top Spider-Man villain. No one else has had a bigger impact on the life of Peter Parker.
Doc Oc and Electro. I'm more or less as excited as a little boy for Amazing Spiderman 2
Carnage and Doc Oc are both smurfing awesome.
Mysterio and Venom
Carnage is stronger than Venom, but is basically just insane and evil. I like characters with a bit more layers and complexities than just that.
Shocker is not my favorite and definitely pretty weak, but he's so fun to play against in video games.
