Batman / Joker / Ra's Al Ghul, definitely.

 

Although, the latter is my personal favourite Batman villain. For me, not much between the two. Sure that Joker would get the popular vote for No. 1.

Not a chance. Goblin killed Gwen, knows Peter's identity, tried to kill Aunt May etc. Doc Ock tried to marry Aunt May. It's not even a contest that Goblin is Spidey's Arch (though I think Ock appears in more stories and I do know that he was intended to be his Arch)

 

I'd actually argue for Ock to be #1 as well. More stories, and Spidey had his hands full every single time. Ock was the villain in #31-33, arguably the best story in the title. The Goblin appears too few times, and even the Gwen story, as awesome as it is, doesn't overcome Ock's overall body of work. This doesn't even count Ock taking over as Spidey for the better part of two years.

 

To me Goblin had a bigger overall effect on Peter. He killed Gwen. Doc may have had him evenly matched but only the Goblin put that dread fear into him. He pushed away so much from MJ for that reason, he constantly worried about Aunt may for that reason. It made his secret identity matter. Ock was just a tough villain who appeared alot.

 

Even in "death," Norman's legacy (Harry/GG II and the Hobgoblin) caused a lot of trouble for Spidey.

And then he came back.

Let's go... like... deep....

 

Batman: #1 Arch Enemy -

 

Himself

 

 

Batman: #2 Enemy = The Joker

 

That's a good point. Reminds me of the Batman : Ego one-shot by Darwyn Cooke.

Uhm... Captain Marvel and Silver Surfer, perhaps?

 

Warlock too

 

My mistake, Thanos with Infinity Gauntlet

I would defer to Speedy regarding the Flash. lol.

 

Venom would have been a contender for #2 except Marvel killed off Eddie Brock and replaced him first with Mac Grogan (Scorpion), and now with Flash Thompson. :sick:

 

Magneto is the leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants so I will still say Sentinels are #2.

 

I also have to go with Ultron / Kang as the #1/#2 foes of the Avengers.

 

For the FF, I might lean towards the Skulls for #2 instead of Galactus. It's a toss up though.

 

Lastly, Greggy vs. Everyone.

 

Cheers!

As if the Spider-Man storyline could get even more screwed.
