Only Real Comic Book Fans Will Know Which Of These Villains Went Against Spider-Man Or Batman

Spider-Man and Batman have two of the biggest and most varied rogues' galleries in all of comics. Even though Superman has been around longer, he does not have nearly the stable of villains that Spider-Man and Batman boast.

Though both comics have a long history of making original characters and villains, the two heroes have often used similar villains. This comes from the creators' love of using characters and themes from both classic and pop culture in making their villains.

Batman has been published for over 75 years, and Spider-Man is over 50 years old. In that time, they have both fought at least one villain a month.
