\"\"<\/a>J. Jonah Jameson<\/strong><\/p>\n

What\u2019s the deal with some dude putting your paycheck in your hands and then constantly snatching it away because he wants to fire you on a whim? We couldn\u2019t work for J.J. Simply put, there\u2019d be a labor dispute, and he\u2019d be sued a million times over. All because he was having a bad day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Mysterio<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spider-Man\u2019s foes, though grounded in reality most of the time, sometimes give us the distinct impression that there\u2019s problems afoot in the world that we don\u2019t know about and don\u2019t want to know about. Case in point: Mysterio\u2019s head is screwed up, figuratively and literally. All we know is that in one version, he\u2019s a special effects master and in another, he\u2019s an android, sent by the special effects master, from a different dimension. Right.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Venom<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eddie Brock\u2019s version has made our Top 5 list before and for pretty much the same reason: He\u2019s weird and awesome. Anytime you go around screaming \u201cWe want to eat your brains,\u201d you make a list of weird. And also, referring to yourself in the plural third-person point of view because your body has bonded with an alien symbiote automatically means you qualify for the crazy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Doctor Octopus<\/strong><\/p>\n

The guy has four tentacles welded to his back that he can telepathically control to kill. That\u2019s all that needs to be said about him.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Green Goblin<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Norman Osborn, We at GI would like to thank you for being sufficiently crazy and paranoid because you mixed chemicals that gave you a green hue and sent you on a killing spree. We do appreciate the myriad crazy attempts you and your (equally crazed) offspring have made over the years to kill Peter Parker. But, please, do us a favor and lose the tights the next time you\u2019re resurrected. Sincerely, Gaming Insurrection folk<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
