Line 68:
** Though a special prize has to go to Spidey villain the Spot, until he got a revamp to make him a major threat. During his first appearances, he was so pathetic that Spidey couldn't even be bothered to fight him, and instead, he falls over laughing at the mere sight of him.
*** He actually turned up in ''[[Spider-Man: The Animated Series]]'' and kicked seven shades out of Spider-Man, IIRC.
* ''[[Daredevil]]'' arguably has it worse. The Matador ([[Name's the Same|not to be confused with]] the [[Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne|other]] [[That One Boss/Other Games/Atlus|guy]])? His entire gimmick is about obscuring your vision with his cape, which, for Daredevil, doesn't do anything. Stilt-Man? [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Exactly what he sounds like]]. The Gladiator? Just a musclehead with anger management issues who happened to have a costume lying around. Daredevil basically has ''three'' legitimately threatening villains (one of them [[Rogues Gallery Transplant|transplanted]] from [[Spider-Man]]'s rogues gallery), and about 30 or so total losers.
** The Stilt Man. The Leap Frog. In the early days of his comic, Daredevil was the [[Mystery Science Theater 3000]] of comic book super heroes.
** The Gladiator got turned into a [[Not-So-Harmless Villain]] when they started playing his early ramblings and characterization, which by more modern and mature standards sound silly and slightly delusional, very seriously and turned him into a violently unbalanced crazy person with an unhealthy love of buzz saws and ancient Roman culture.
