===Green Goblin===
===Green Goblin===
The Green Goblin has many different human identities, the most devious of which was Norman Osborn, the father of Peter Paker's best friend, Harry. Osborn had started a major science and engineering company with his partner, Mendel Stromm. Osborn soon found out that Stromm had embezzled money from their company and promptly had him arrested. Later, Osborn found a mysterious chemical while going through Stromm's notes. Supposedly, it could multiply a person's strength and intelligence. Osborn tried to recreate the serum, but missed a few steps. The formula turned green, and exploded on Osborn. After he left the hospital, he realized that the formula had given him what he wanted, but also transformed him into a psycopathic criminal. With increased greed and lust for power, Osborn created his character the Green Goblin and turned to crime. Goblin wanted to gain a reputation by killing Spider-Man, but lost in combat. From that day on, the two superhumans were arch enemies. The Green Goblin has made two appearances in Spider-Man films. The first was as Norman Osborn, in 2002's ''Spider-Man'', played by Willem Dafoe. The second was in 2014's ''The Amazing Spider-Man 2'', as Harry Osborn, played by Dane DeHaan.

===The Lizard===
The identity of the Lizard is Dr. Curt Connors. Dr. Connors appeared in the Sam Raimi's ''Spider-Man 2'' (2004) and ''Spider-Man 3'' (2007), played by Dylan Baker. However, The Lizard did not appear in either film. The first appearance of the Lizard was in the film, ''The Amazing Spider-Man'', in which he was played by Rhys Ifans.
===Venom===
A fan favorite among fans, Venom is the result of a symbiote, and a man known as Eddie Brock. The symbiote originally bonded to Spider-Man, causing him to have a black suit for a time. One night at a church, Spider-Man was able to rid himself of the suit, and the symbiote bonded with Brock. Eddie Brock/Venom appeared in ''Spider-Man 3'' (2007), played by Topher Grace. However, the inclusion of Venom in the film was met with criticism. Sam Raimi did not want to include Venom in his films, and only wanted to focus on Spider-Man's early villains. However, Sony forced Raimi to shoehorn the character into the film.
