Alright, anyone that's been following Spiderman recently knows that he's been upgraded to hell and back recently. This, coupled with his experience, has led to Spidey...well....
OMGWTFBBQPWN'ing some of his rogues gallery.
And by some, I mean most. Even his iconic villains.
This is great, I mean, compare Spiderman's first meetings with these villains to his more recent ones, and you can really see Spiderman's growth.
But, on the other hand, it gets a little boring to see Spiderman plow through the opposition.
So, what do you think? Should Spiderman get new, more powerful villains? Should the old villains get upgrades to keep up? Should Spidey get depowered closer to classic levels? Am I just talking out of my ass?
I'd like to see his enemies powered up.
Have some villian decide he's had enough and go around giving help to Spidey's old foes.
Depowering him will just make things worse in a few years when some writer notices what happened and has him "unleash his real power" to take down someone that should have always been well above him.
Making new rogues is tough and they tend to be skewed in power due to a lack of history in comics. Introducing a couple more might not be a bad idea though.

Anyways yeah some of his Villains are still ridiculously dangerous still. Like the Rhino or Sandman or Green Goblin those three will always be or should always be a problem for Spidey.
Yeah though a few getting upgraded though wouldn't be to bad an idea. I wouldn't mind seeing Shocker get upgraded.
I think Morlun is his best villain and i think that the original Morlun arc was awesome but the most recent fight in The Other could have been a lot better. The fight itself was decent and Spidey smashed him with an SUV, but still wasn't the same as the original.
Doc Ock, Electro, Hydro-Man, Trapster, Mysterio, Scorpion, Vulture, the Goblins and many, many, others have all had various upgrades over the years ... either in weaponry or power.
Agreed. But they haven't had enough, apparently - Spiderman is still stomping on pretty much all of them without trouble more recently. I mean, in their first appearances they gave him hell.
But now, most of the people you named seem like mere nuisances.
It's not that they haven't had enough. It's just that new writers forget about those upgrades as soon as they take over and marvel editors don't bother to correct them when it happens.
Yea he fought Vulture in Friendly, took Ock out with a punch in Sensational. He's been through a few.
Rhino really messed him up in Sensational though. Personally I don't think much of his villians need a power upgrade. Just give them more depth and let them grow from there
But Spider-Man has tons of rogues that can be used that don't have to fade into obsurity. He has a lot of villians that haven't been used since the 80's that can be updated, etc.
