Electro has a crazy amount of depth that most writers gloss over. Read "Light the Night." Rhino's character went through some shaping in an early Tangled Web arc where he gained a vast amount of intellegence. Even Sandman became more than a thug when he became a hero and Avenger.Elijya said:Spider-Mans villains, again, are thugs. Hey, alot of them got some really cool powers. But can you tell me what makes, say, Electro tick? Is there anything that makes the Rhino a fascinating character to read about, if he's not smashing things up? Can you tell me in what way Sandman is any different from Hydroman, aside from their powers? Are any of these guys really much more than blue collar criminals, always either for hire or just out to steal? They remind me of the cliche vaudeville villains with the black and white stripped shirts and masks. "Yup, just robbing this bank, all in a days work"
To a degree I agree with you, but theres a whole lot of more to these characters than most give them credit for.
