Goodbye, Ramrod. How little we knew you... But you got pretty far on a name. I have fond memories of Swarm in the Spider Man and His Amazing Friends cartoon The Fly, Tarantula and Puma loomed large in two eras of Spider Man that I followed.
Goodbye, sweet villains...

I have my Wild Card already picked for when the time comes. I like Sable a lot. She reminds me of Emma Frost.

I hated to lose Phil Urich. I doubt any of you have read the great, current Dan Slott era, but Phil has been an excellent villain. Slot portrayed him as kind of the anti-Peter Parker. Phil also worked for the Bugle by day and was secretly the latest vile Hobgoblin. One of the cool things they did was occasionally show Phil's face half Phil/half Goblin when he was thinking about his villainous activities as Phil. A cool reference to the classic half Peter/half Spidey face visual to underline how the characters were mirror images of each other.
Instead of drawing out the latest Hobgoblin's identity, readers knew from the beginning who he was, while the other characters were left in the dark. Eventually, Phil was confronted by Kingsley for the right to be Hobby and was eventually brought down by Doc Ock as the Superior Spider-Man. After that, Phil hooked up with Norman Osborn to then cement his connection with the entire Goblin legacy.

That's still the character's most significant appearance in my mind. Memories! The Fly, Tarantula and Puma loomed large in two eras of Spider Man that I followed.
Not a huge Fly fan, but the Tarantula had a great story arc with Will o' the Wisp and the Brand Corporation under the great Spidey scribe that will always make the fairly minor Spidey villain stand out more than he would otherwise. Puma was great under DeFalco's stint, and Peter David used him a lot, too. Too bad he's mostly faded into obscurity. I'm surprised Slott hasn't revived him as he has some other recently less-used Spidey characters.

Nooo! Lightmaster!
Still, some of my quirky favorites, like Morbius, Will O Wisp, Gray Gargoyle, the Lobo Brothers and Ana Kravinoff are hanging on by a thread!

I have decided to extend this 24-hours due to low voter turnout. Even if I vote, it is only four players.

This round was extremely close. as such I am only going to eliminate the bottom nine characters. A lot of votes were grouped around the 68% mark. I might change the scale for the next round. As we will have 19 left, I will hold off on the Wild Card round as that is almost 20 characters remaining.

The Kingpin gets knocked off his throne? Sandman blown away? Electro shorted out? Beetle stomped on? Black Cat ran across our path?
Well ... they all had their moment in the sun

There are still a handful of characters here whom I do not know at all. I'll probably join in a couple of rounds, once the list has been whittled down to those I do know.

The Wild Card Round Starts Now
We are selecting two characters this time so we will have an even sixteen characters.
Rules for this Round
1) Please Choose Two Characters (See Page 1 for help) that have already been eliminated from the game. 2) Or Chose Up to Two Characters not included in the game 3) Write them in a Post; Check all posts above you to make sure your suggestion was not previously taken 4) I will create a list of all the suggestions and we vote for two characters to re-enter the game.
I vote for Sable and the Gray Gargoyle. I like Gray Gargoyle's portrayal as a mob boss in one of the cartoons. He also has a coll design.
