Seriously, Why Can't We Have Kraven?

I'm glad that Spider-Man: Homecoming managed to avoid the Green Goblin trap, because let's face it, tiger, we've had about all the movie Osborns we need.

Let's help Sony & Marvel find foes for the next Spider-Films, by having Sal Buscema draw every Spider-Man villain EVER!!


So many to choose from...

I mean, the fact that we haven't had a movie Kraven is just unfathomable.

And Mysterio as a villain in the CGI age? It practically writes itself!

Let Daredevil keep Kingpin. We've got Hammerhead!

The Enforcers? I would see that movie 10,000 times.

Man-Wolf? MAN-WOLF!!!

And Chameleon? Duh.

I'm not sure why the hell Sal left the Scorpion off of here. Surely he's more prominent than Mirage or Will-O'-The Wisp at this point. But, yeah, Scorpion.

And what about Spider-Slayers?? SPIDER-SLAYERS!!

All I'm saying is, Spider-Man has a great and vast rogues gallery, so there's no need to repeat/reboot villains from past movies.

Oh, and don't forget Kangaroo, man. Kanga-freakin'-roo...

    Go back and take another look at ASM #181. There are more than two pages of villains. Scorpion and Spider Slayer are there but not Kangeroo, admittedly.

    Fair cop. I sorta skipped over that page when I saw it was a JJJ page.

    It's tangled up in legal red tape, but a good thing for a movie to lift from the Spectacular Spidey show, instead of everything coming from Oscorp, would be it's underworld hierarchy. Guys like Hammerhead and Silvermane at the top, the Enforcers acting as specialised hit squads. Hell, if they can't use Netflix Kingpin they could just do what the show did when it couldn't get the rights to Kingpin and make Tombstone competent if not interesting.
