Armada

Alter Ego: David Breyer

First Appearance: Sensational Spider-Man #0, (January, 1996)

Armada is reputed to be the finest corporate thief there is, so much so that few people even know of his existence. He "acquires hard-to-get items" for a profit using a high-tech battle suit and and team of robots.

• Drone Deployer: His powered armor functions as one.
• I Call It "Vera": Each drone has its own unique name (all female names).

• What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Armada is convinced his little flying robots are sentient. He names them, cares about them, and suffers a Freak Out every time they inevitably get smashed up by the heroes he fights. It is not at all clear that they actually are sentient, so he's probably just deluded, but maybe he knows something the rest of us don't.

Aura

Alter Ego: Ann Herd

First Appearance: Spectacular Scarlet Spider #1, (November, 1995)

Basilisk

Alter Ego: Basil Elks

First Appearance: Marvel Team-Up #16, (December, 1973)

Basil Elks was originally a small-time crook. One day he broke into a museum and was about to steal an emerald. Little did he know the emerald came from an alien world and possessed power. When he was about to grab it, the guards at the museum shot at Elks but missed. Instead, the guard's bullets hit the emerald and all of a sudden this turns Elks into a powerful reptilian being. He attacks the guards and later decides to start a new life as a supervillain and begins to call himself the Basilisk.

• Appropriated Appellation: Basil Elks was a convicted burglar of little note, who was ridiculed and nicknamed "Basilisk" by the other inmates.
• Back from the Dead: He was among the many lesser-known villains killed by the Scourge to be revived by the Hood.
• Combo Platter Powers: The Basilisk's original powerset came from the Alpha Stone. When he acquired its counterpart, the Omega Stone, he also gained additional Dishing Out Dirt powers.
• Dishing Out Dirt: The Omega Stone gave the Basilisk the power to control the earth, creating earthquakes and volcanoes as well as walking through lava.
• Eye Beams: The Basilisk's initial major power was the bodily generator of microwave-related energy, which he could emit at will through his eyes.

• Super-Toughness: The tissues of the Basilisk's body, particularly his lizard-like skin, is harder and more resistant to physical injury than an ordinary human. His body was durable enough to allow him to wade through lava, which he enjoyed doing often, without sustaining any physical injury.
• Villain Decay: He went from challenging the likes of Captain Marvel, the Thing and Black Bolt and potentially destroying New York to being shot by the Scourge and eventually reduced to a glorified Mook for the Hood and casually beaten up by Spider-Man after his resurrection.

Alter Ego: Abner Ronald "Abe" Jenkins

First Appearance: Strange Tales #123 (August 1964)

Beetle II/Hardshell

Alter Ego: Leila Davis

First Appearance: Deadly Foes of Spider-Man #1 (May, 1991) ^note As Leila Davis; Lethal Foes of Spider-Man #1 (September, 1993)^note As Hardshell; Thunderbolts #48 (March, 2001) ^note As Beetle

• Crusading Widow: She joined Abe Jenkins' Sinister Syndicate as a way to get close to and kill Jenkins, blaming him for Anthony Davis's death. In an earlier storyline, Beetle forced Davis to fight Spider-Man as the Ringer to analyze Spider-Man's fighting style. Davis's humiliating defeat led him to try and gain more respect in the supervillain community, which in turn led him to be nearly killed by the Scourge. Leila also wanted revenge on Spider-Man and the Scourge, but they came a distant second to revenge on Jenkins.
• Distaff Counterpart: The very first female to take the Beetle identity. She was also a sort of distaff counterpart to the Ringer, using his weapons when she finally attacked Abner Jenkins.
• Happily Married: Her devotion towards her husband Anthony is the only reason she took on villainy.
• Heel–Face Turn: She was a full-on criminal until Anthony suddenly turned up as the cyborg warrior Strikeback. Anthony revealed that he was Not Quite Dead after the Scourge massacred him and a bunch of other villains. Some AIM agents investigated the massacre hoping to find information about the villains' technology, and they found a barely-alive Davis. They rebuilt him as Strikeback and he worked for them until going freelance. Leila and Anthony lived happily for a while until Anthony's systems broke down due to the damage he suffered helping Leila. In honoring her husband's wish to become something better, Leila became more of a hero.
• Killed Off for Real: Killed along with other Redeemers fighting Graviton.
• Powered Armor: First as Hardshell, then as the second Beetle, Leila used high-tech armor to commit crimes.
• Redemption Equals Death: Trying to honor her husband's dying wish to become something better, she died fighting the supervillain Graviton.
• Samus Is a Girl: The bulk of the Mk 3 Beetle armor makes it difficult to notice she's female at first glance. In contrast, her Hardshell armor was stylized to look like a metal bodysuit, emphasizing her curves and even sporting high heels.

Beetle IV/Lady Beetle

Alter Ego: Janice Lincoln

First Appearance: Captain America #607 (August 2010)

• Affirmative-Action Legacy: A rare villainous example; she's an Afro-Latina woman who took up the mantle of a white man.
• Ambiguously Brown: Appears as this early in Superior Foes, in contrast to her more clearly white (as well as different in general) original appearance. The series later reveals that she's the daughter of the black (and albino) Tombstone and a Latina mother.
• Amoral Attorney: With her father's encouragement, she went to law school (where she excelled) to become one of these and was even a valedictorian at Columbia Law. A flashback shows her winning a case against Matt Murdock by hiring the Looter to cause a disturbance outside of the courthouse, which prompted Matt to hastily and weakly excuse himself from the proceedings in order to deal with it as Daredevil.
• Control Freak: She's obsessed with controlling situations and planning things out as much as possible. It would make her a decent leader if she could get others to respect her.
• Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Her father argued for a career as an Amoral Attorney to be preferable to and safer than that of a costumed supervillain, and he seems to have had a point, as while Janice was an excellent law student and seems to have been a competent attorney, she's so far less successful as a supervillain.
• Daddy's Little Villain: From an early age, she shared her father's criminal tendencies (a flashback shows the two bonding over stealing a dog from a playmate's birthday party), and Tombstone put her through law school in the hopes of her becoming a legitimate criminal as a mob lawyer. While he wasn't happy about her deciding to become a costumed super villain, he still supported her although he refused to pay for it.
• Dating Catwoman: Her and Scott Lang.
  Scott: I was an Avenger once. And the day they made it official—everyone could tell I was freaking out. Like, I was in way over my head. So, Captain America, he takes me aside—he puts his hand on my shoulder, looks me straight in the eye, and say: "Scott, I'm sure right about now you're doubting yourself. Don't. This is a great responsibility, of course—but there's just one rule, above all the others, that you need to keep in mind—one rule that can never be broken, no matter what—and no matter how many times Tony Stark may tell you otherwise—if you want to be an Avenger—you do not sleep with super villains." I am so sorry Captain America.
• Dating What Daddy Hates: She fell for Randy Robertson much to Tombstone's chagrin.
• Deadpan Snarker: Tends to make snippy comments about whoever she's working with at the time. Sometimes leans into Silent Snarker when she doesn't feel like speaking out-loud.
• Distaff Counterpart: Sometimes referred to as "Lady Beetle", and even her Mk 4 Beetle Armor looks a lot like a visually feminine version of the iconic Mk 2 Beetle Armor.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: She and her father are actually very close, despite their disagreements on Janice's career choice.
• Evil Is Petty: She once forced Scott Lang to perform a robbery for her, in exchange for her allowing him victory in a custody case with his ex-wife over their daughter. The robbery went wrong thanks to the intervention of Darren Cross, but when Scott saves the day and the judges want to thank him, she flips out and tries to deny him his daughter out of spite.
• I Just Want to Be Special: In the worst way possible; she became a supervillain largely out of desire to be the best supervillain.
• Pet the Dog: Her backstory issue showed that she sometimes does community work at soup kitchens as a sort of "karmic balance".
• Powered Armor: As per the original. In particular, the suit has flight abilities and energy weapons in the gloves.
• Rogues' Gallery Transplant: Originally introduced as a Captain America villain, she later became a Spidey villain, with a backstory introduced which tied her to his Rogue's Gallery.
• Secondary Color Nemesis: Just like previous beetles, her costume is either mostly purple, or green and purple.
• "Stop Having Fun" Guy: She really doesn't like it when her allies go off of her strictly made plans.
• Straw Feminist: Subverted. She sometimes throws out feminist phrases and claims that she wants to "break the glass ceiling" on supervillainy, but it's just a way she excuses her petty crimes and jerkish personality.
• Women Are Wiser: For what it's worth, she's the most competent member of the Superior Foes when it comes to planning.
• Yandere: Out of all of the villains recruited by Ant-Man, she was the most earnestly helpful, even secretly assisting him in defeating Cross. Then she tried to use the courts to ruin his life because he didn't call her back afterward.

Frederick Foswell Jr. is the son of the original Big Man, and brother of the second Big Man. He took over the role to gain revenge for the death of his father and sister, which, owing to J. Jonah Jameson's then-hostile attitude towards Spider-Man, he blamed on the webslinger.

• Avenging the Villain: He took over the role to gain revenge for the death of his father and sister.
• Mini-Mecha: Foswell suited up in a giant robot suit modeled after his father's criminal alter ego.
• Misplaced Retribution: He believed Spider-Man was responsible for the death of both his father and sister, to the extent that he believed his father had been framed for the Big Man's crimes, and refused to accept it even when Jameson vouched for Spidey and apologised for his attempt to clear Foswell by basically framing the wall-crawler.

Black Tarantula

• Action Dad: He's a very capable fighter and crime lord. And of course, he succeeds in the tradition of passing the mantle of Black Tarantula to his son, Fabian.

• Color Animal Codename: Black Tarantula
• Co-Dragons: When Matt Murdock took over leadership of the Hand, Black Tarantula became Matt Murdock's lieutenant alongside White Tiger.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: He gave a pretty ruthless beatdown on Peter and sparing him when he learned Spidey was involved to save the young Normie.
• Eye Beams: Perhaps his most unusual power is firing optic blasts though it requires a few minutes of cooldown.

• Legacy Character: The Black Tarantula mantle has been passed for centuries from father to son. Carlos is the latest one, with plans to train his son Fabian as his successor, which was why his wife left him and took Fabian with her.
  • The Spider-Girl comics confirm Fabian does indeed become the next Black Tarantula.
• Noble Demon: He's a pretty respectful individual, just one who is a crime syndicate leader and a former membr of the Hand. Heck, he once killed a former member of his gang for killing women and then taking the money he was paid for and donating it to a church with a note saying to help people with it.
• Superpower Lottery: He's pretty much Spidey's superior in virtually every physical aspect along with his healing trick and eye blasts.

  Black Tarantula: ...which makes my own task all the more difficult. [hits him again] While the local authorities may mistake you for a criminal, those who lurk in the shadows see your true heroism! [stops fighting, as Spidey clearly can no longer fight back] Ironic, isn't it? Your enemies know you better than your allies.
• Villain Respect: He has deep respect for Spider-Man risking his life to save a young Normie Osborn even with the massive bounty on his head.
  Black Tarantula: I applaud your dedication, Spider-Man, as well as your sense of honor. Considering the current bounty on your head, only a man of exceptional virtue would risk himself to save the heir of an enemy!

The Doctor initiated a new process of experimentation, by which he sought to bring out the primitive, reptilian part of the brain, which he saw as having greater potential then the human mind. Jimmy underwent this process and mutated dramatically. Soon after, the new heads of the Mad Dog Ward came under fire from the investigation of reporter Maggie Lorca.

Burglar

First Appearance: Amazing Fantasy #15 (August, 1962)

When Peter first got his powers, he didn't want to use them to help others. That all changed when he refused to help apprehend a burglar. The burglar then tried his luck on what would turn out to be Peter's old house, killing his uncle Ben in the process.

• All for Nothing: It turns out the reason he invaded the Parker home in the first place is because he was looking for a stash of money supposedly hidden there by a famous gangster. After his demise, it's revealed the cash was eaten years ago by silverfish. All he really accomplished was turning Peter into a hero.
• Asshole Victim: He dies of a heart attack after Peter menaces him.

• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Unbeknownst to Spider-Man, the Burglar had a daughter named Jessica Carradine, who truly loved her father despite his life of crime. She initially wanted revenge, but came to see the hero as a good man despite his role in her father's death.
• Hate Sink: He's a selfish, murderous, cowardly excuse for a human being. He's likely one of the few people Parker truly loathes and it isn't until years after his death that we learn he even had any redeeming qualities.
• No Name Given: He was never called anything but "the Burglar". His daughter's surname was Carradine(which was also his in the Raimi trilogy) but it isn't clear if that applies to him.
• Small Role, Big Impact: A burglar so generic we don't even learn his name, who decided to target both the underground wrestling ring Peter went to, and, later that night, the Parker house. This is what set Peter on the path of superheroism.
• Starter Villain: The very first criminal Spider-Man faced. Unlike most examples though, he isn't a super-villain or really anyone of power. He's just a man with a gun, but that was more than enough.
• Would Harm a Senior: He murdered elderly Ben Parker with no remorse. When he faced Spider-Man again, he threatened to do the same to Aunt May. Needless to say, Peter was sorely tempted to return the favor.

Together, Dagny and Cedric developed the Corona experiment that consists of putting a human subject in a big tube filled with a yellow liquid and subjecting them to chemical and radiation treatments which in turn endows them with super-powers. Dagny volunteered to undergo the process but Cedric chickened out halfway through, which turned Dagny into Corona but left her with less than the full power she craved. The process used to create her poisoned residents of New York City including Mary Jane Watson.

A small-time crook who rose through the ranks of the underworld to fill the Evil Power Vacuum left behind by the Big Man, this brought him into conflict with the Green Goblin who wanted to fill the void himself. Possibly the most notable thing about him is that he was the first character to learn the Green Goblin's true identity.

While the burglars were stealing the antiquities, Nightwatch spotted them and entered the Museum attacking them. Davis, seeing his men falling, fled, pushing the Mask onto his own face.

After about 19 publication years have gone by in real life, Digger finally came back in The Amazing Spider-Man (2022).

Other feats include crushing a steel bar with his bare hands, digging through tons of debris and punching Spider-Man so hard he created butt imprints in the wall – twice.
• Super-Toughness: he gamma radiation gave him immense durability, regenerating his cells and holding his organs together. Even absent of a circulatory system, or oxygen, they continued to survive dependent on the rays alone. This allowed him to withstand multiple rounds of heavy caliber bullet fire, crashing through walls headfirst, going toe-to-toe with Spider-Man when weakened and surviving multiple story falls.
• You Can't Kill What's Already Dead: Subverted with Digger. He's both undead and takes extreme amounts of damage over the course of his debut without injury. However, this was actually due to the fact that he had a Healing Factor, as he was reanimated by gamma radiation from nuclear weapons tests near his gravesite, and Spidey exploited this fact to kill him in his first appearance.

• Muck Monster: exposure to toxic waste transformed Davis into a walking pile of goo with the ability to dissolve matter with a touch.
• Reduced to Dust: The goop that makes up Kalen's body is able to accelerate the speed at which items decay, often resulting in the item, or person, to either melt or become dust.

• Amazon Brigade: Currently a member of the all-female Sinister Syndicate of Lady Beetle.
• Animal Motifs: She played this up more than Otto ever did.
• Bad Boss: When a minion questioned one of her plans, which could cause innumerable civilian casualties, Carolyn strangled him nearly to death.
• The Bus Came Back: Disappeared after Otto fully recovered from his death, but resurfaced years later as a Psycho for Hire in Secret War (2004), then once again vanished. She finally returned as a member of Lady Beetle's newest Sinister Syndicate.
• Chest Insignia: A stylized octopus.
• Daddy Issues: She hates her father, which would explain her sometimes weird relationship with Otto. While her reaction to Seward's eventual death at the hands of Mendel Stromm and Norman Osborn isn't shown, she was presumably pretty happy about it, if not a little miffed that she didn't get to kill him herself.
• Distaff Counterpart/Legacy Character: It's not hard to guess for who.
• Fangirl: For Otto; a flashback to their pre-supervillain days shows her Squeeing as he gives her an autograph. Later upgraded to Monster Fangirl.
• Gold Makes Everything Shiny: As of Secret War, she has gold-colored tentacles.
• Hair Color Dissonance: Purple, red, black, brown, and everything in-between.
• Lovely Angels: With Ock's girlfriend, Stunner.
• Mecha-Mooks: Her Octo-spheres and hench-droids.
• Psycho for Hire: Became this after Otto came back to life.
• Stalker with a Crush: Was one for Otto, with a flashback depicting her as being overjoyed when Otto was forced to break up with his fiancé Mary Alice. While her relationship with him eventually seemed to become platonic, it's implied that she may have still had romantic feelings for him, as when she was helping him recover from the fractured mental state he was left in after being revived, she completely downplayed his relationships with Mary Alice and Stunner.
• When You Coming Home, Dad?: Seward was apparent quite neglectful, though he did do things like sing to Carolyn when she was little and arrange the first meeting between her and her idol.
• You Don't Look Like You: She looked like she normally does during the events of Hunted, but a few issues later she was completely redesigned to resemble Olivia Octavius from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, even having this new design in a flashback that took place prior to the events of Hunted.

Doctor Octopus III

Alter Ego: Lucas Carlyle

First Appearance: The Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 2 #43 (September 2002)

• Bank Robbery: The first thing he does after suiting up is rob a bank.

  Luke: Sigh... you're the last person in the world I wanted to hear utter those words while I was in the bedroom.
• Embarrassing Nickname: Carlyle Calamari.
• Evil Versus Evil: He earned the wrath of the original Doc Ock, who did not take kindly to someone else stealing his title.
• Green and Mean: His armor and tentacles were entirely green in color.
• Sinister Shades: His were red, in contrast to Otto's.
• Static Stun Gun: Two of his tentacles were tipped with tasers.
• Powered Armor: The main difference between Luke and Ock was Luke's use of tentacled armor, instead of just a tentacled harness. Not a bad idea, considering how years of fighting super beings wound up destroying Otto's unprotected body.
• Upgrade vs. Prototype Fight: Luke had more advanced gear, while Otto had more experience. Had it not been for Spider-Man's intervention, the two would have presumably kept engaging in Fearful Symmetry until exhaustion or death.

Doctor Traveler

Alter Ego: Judas Traveler

First Appearance: Web of Spider-Man #117 (October 1994)

• The Bus Came Back: After a two decade absence, he finally made a return to the Marvel universe - albeit in the pages of Jonathan Hickman's X-Men run.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: Judas effortlessly defeated Carnage by ripping the symbiote right off of him.
• Doing In the Wizard: His powers were originally presented as magical in nature, but were later retconned to mutant illusions.
• A God Am I: He became convinced he was an ancient dimension-walking entity.
• Make Way for the New Villains: In his debut issue, he messes with and intimidates the Chameleon, Shriek, and Carnage.
• Meaningful Name: Not in his original run (the writers really had no idea what to do with him, though there was some implication that one of them originally intended him to be the Judas), but his return in Hickman's run gets a lot of milage from the fact that he's a self-hating mutant named "Judas" who works with anti-mutant activists.
• Morally Ambiguous Doctorate: He was a psychiatrist.
• Mutants: For all of his bluster, in the end he turned out to just be a crazy mutant who thought he could do anything due to believing his own illusions were real.
• Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Seriously, what kind of parents would name their boy after the most infamous traitor of them all?
• Outside-Context Problem:
  Glenn Greenberg: No one – not the writers, not the editors – seemed to know who or what the heck Judas Traveler was. He was seemingly this immensely powerful, quasi-mystical being with amazing abilities, but what was the real deal with him...? But to be honest, a character like Traveler didn't really fit into Spider-Man's world.
• Power Born of Madness: His powers were activated by a psychotic breakdown.
• Psychic Powers: He can alter peoples' perceptions of reality, read minds, and cast illusions.
• Retcon: The revelation that he was a delusional mutant rather than an all-powerful wizard made a lot of his earlier appearances nonsensical and wasn't originally planned; one author involved in it even later described it as a "retcon bomb" intended to remove him from the story as quickly as possible.
• The Quisling: He at some point joined the anti-mutant organization Orchis, and has been called their "pet Judas."
• Sadistic Choice: Posed Spider-Man one: if Peter failed, the inmates of Ravencroft would all die; if he succeeded they'd be set free.
• Unwitting Pawn: He and his Host were being manipulated by Norman Osborn.

Electro II

Alter Ego: Francine Frye

  Spider-Man: See? This is what's nice about having a new Electro... ...You're not used to all the old tricks.
• Jerkass: She wasn't all that good before turning into a super-villain, but now she (or more specifically, her clone) is quite the selfish "witch".
• Legacy Character: She is the second Electro after, accidentally, killed the original.
• Loony Fan: Francine is a fan of Mary-Jane Watson from the latter's run on Secret Hospital. One of the reasons she took Melanie Daniels hostage is because Melanie replaced MJ on the show.
• Monster Fangirl: Francine was a sort of girlfriend to Electro.
• No-Respect Guy: Thanks to her inexperience and her predecessor being considered a loser in the villain community. Sandman (one of Max Dillon's Sinister Six contemporaries) explains this and advises her to change her name when she complains about it.
• Punk: She had dyed hair, tattoos and a lot metal piercings before she was killed. Her new clone body had none of these things, and she doesn't seem to have gotten them back.
• Sexually Transmitted Superpowers: She absorbed the original Electro's powers through a kiss, accidentally killing him in the process.
• Shock and Awe: Having Electro's powers makes her this by default.
• Steven Ulysses Perhero: A woman with the last name "Frye" has electric powers.

Unfortunately for her and Tyler, Professor X denied their application citing that Tyler was not a mutant, rather, a standard homo sapien.

Unknown person who wears exo-skeleton called F.A.C.A.D.E. (Full Acclimation Combat And Defense Explo-skeleton) manufactured by Morelle Pharmaceuticals.

• Aborted Arc: The mystery of F.A.C.A.D.E.'s real identity was apparently intended to be a long-running subplot in the Spider-Man titles (similar to the original Hobgoblin mystery), but it failed to capture the interest of readers.

The only problem was that the part of the document revealing the true identity was torn off!

• Evil Brit: Speaks with an British accent although it is not known if he is actually British.

Freak

Alter Ego: Unknown

First Appearance: Amazing Spider-Man #546 (January, 2008)

Freak was nameless junkie who, following a clash with Spider-Man, fell through a skylight into the laboratory of Curt Connors, a.k.a. the Lizard. Finding some syringes, he injected himself with animal stem cell fluids, thinking that they were crystal meth. Freak then began to form a chrysalis around his body, emerging as a skinless monster. After being shot at by the police, he fell into the sewer and formed another chrysalis. Emerging as an animal hybrid, and completely bulletproof, Freak discovered that he was effectively immortal: every time he dies, he goes into a chrysalis and is reborn, and now immune to whatever killed him last time.

• Adaptive Ability: Freak became horribly deformed after injecting himself with mutagens, but as a result was able to form a cocoon around himself when he died and regenerate with an adaptation against whatever killed him. Such deaths included being set on fire (resulting in a leathery hide), getting shot (armour plating) and strangulation (thicker musculature, particularly around the neck), but he was always just as hideous as before, and all he did with his powers was try to find more drugs to snort up.
• Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Hasn't been seen since the "Origin of the Species" storyline.
• Giving Them the Strip: During his first fight with Spider-Man, before he gained his powers, Freak escaped after Spidey webbed him to some pipes by ripping his way out of his clothes.
• Healing Factor: Freak's regenerative capacity allows him to heal himself of serious injuries.
• Immune to Bullets: After his first death Freak became bulletproof.
• Immune to Drugs: Freak is completely invulnerable to most of the poisons, toxins and drugs of the earth, in addition to acquiring complete immunity to them after being exposed only once, and Freak's brain no longer has pleasure centers, which makes it impossible for him to experience the "high" from recreational drugs.
• Jack up with Phlebotinum: Freak got his powers after consuming a mutagen thinking it was a new designer narcotic.
• Jerkass: Aside from being a murderous supervillain, Freak tried to steal a donation box from a homeless shelter so he could use the money to buy himself more drugs.
• Never My Fault: He blames his drug addiction on people making fun of his different-colored eyes his whole life and blames his hideous appearance on Spider-Man for chasing him into Dr. Conners' lab where he found his animal stem cell fluids and injected himself with them.
• New Powers as the Plot Demands: Freak has the power to evolve every time he is killed by something. He nearly got killed by bullet-shots and fire so now he is evolved to be fire-proof and bullet-proof.
• The Nose Knows: Freak's sense of smell is so good that he even managed to find Spider-Man just because of his smell, even when he was in another part of the city.
• Poisonous Person: After being experimented on in Oscorp Labs, he acquired the capacity to generate a poison so powerful that it has no comparison with any other created on earth.
• Pupating Peril: When Freak dies his body is surrounded by an acidic chrysalis that gives him the ability to spontaneously return to life mutated.
• Resurrective Immortality: When Freak dies, his body is surrounded by an acidic chrysalis that gives him the ability to spontaneously return to life mutated, acquiring the ability to survive any danger that has mortally wounded him before, and generally being more powerful.
• Super-Senses: Freak's sense of smell has increased since he came back to life due to animal genes and constant mutations.
• Super-Strength: Initially, he possessed a level of superhuman strength, and he has shown that his strength can increase with each rejuvenation. He has been measured as being able to lift at least 3 tons.
• Super-Toughness: After his first death, Freak became bulletproof. After his second death, Freak became fireproof.
• Too Dumb to Live: He chose to inject himself with the contents of unlabeled syringes, despite having no idea what could be in them.
• Undiscriminating Addict: Injected himself with some random syringes he found in a lab on the assumption they were narcotics.
• Wolverine Claws: Developed razor-sharp claws following his second resurrection.

Fusion

Alter Ego: Wayne Markley

First Appearance: Peter Parker: Spider-Man Vol 2 #30 (June 2001)

Discovering that he had the ability to persuade people into doing whatever he wanted while manipulating their senses as a child, Wayne Markley used his power to make millions, creating technology to enhance his powers even further, making himself - in his own words - a "more-than-perfect killing machine". However, his life was changed when his son Jeremy died while trying to imitate his hero Spider-Man. Unable to accept that his powers couldn't help him, Fusion decided to take revenge on the wall-crawler.

• Achilles' Heel: His powers can be thrown off once the person knows what Fusion really is, rendering them relatively useless in a fight once he has lost the initial advantage.
• All Your Powers Combined: Invoked and subverted. He is merely able to manipulate the perceptions of others so that he appears to have different powers.
• Bullying a Dragon: He "forces" Dr. Octopus to work for him. Not a smart move.
• Master of Illusion: Markley can persuade people to do what he wants, to see what he wants, and to hear what he wants. Basically, he controls peoples' perceptions. For example, he can create the illusion that he has multiple powers and abilities.
• Misplaced Retribution: His son Jeremy died while trying to imitate his hero Spider-Man. So naturally he blames Spidey and tries to frame him when his evil plan causes the death of three hundred people.
• Mutants: When he was a child, Markley discovered he was a mutant.
• Underestimating Badassery: Thought he had intimidated Doctor Octopus into acting as his flunky, but actually Octavius was just letting Fusion do the hard work until he was ready to take over the other man's scheme.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Octavius reveals that he had simply pretended to be weak in order to acquire Fusion's device and sell it to the highest bidder, subsequently beating Fusion half to death while mocking the other man for believing Octavius could ever be so pathetic.

• Be Careful What You Wish For: Upon locating the legendary City of Gold El Dorado, Goldbug discovers that it is a literal city of gold, rather the few tons he was expecting.

  Hippo: This whole thing is stupid! Imagine being a hippo chillin' in a zoo and then without asking for it some weirdo force evolves you into an adult quasi-human. Nobody feeds me for free anymore, yo! I eat 90 pounds of food every day! I got bills!! Oh sure. Get a job, right? Because companies are dying to hire an adult half-hippo man with literally zero education. You know how much rent is in this city? Especially for a place with high ceilings, wide hallways, and preferably a tub? Because I'll tell you one thing: I found out how much they cost, and guess what?? Now I'm robbing banks!
• Eaten Alive: By Mac Gargan as Venom. He got better.
• The Gambling Addict: He's among the patrons of an underground supervillain casino in a Domino-centric X-Men story.

• Unexplained Recovery: They haven't bothered explaining how he recovered from being eaten by Venom.
