A geeky journalist embittered by losing an exclusive. An escaped con who desperately wants to see his daughter. In the comic book universe, those are the makings of great villainy.
Of all the evil-doers in the comic book and cartoon universe, the miscreants hounding Spider-Man rule Search this week. They draw more attention than any Disney or Batman tormentors and attract queries like "spiderman villains bios."
The appeal of a good comic book villain lies in how much he resembles the superhero he resents. The archenemies often share a similar tragic story, but something in their psyche turns them toward evil. Indeed, current revivals like "Smallville," "X-Men," and the Spider-Man series have played up early friendships, and how paths fatefully diverge.
Since the splendid villain makes the good superhero, we tracked down worthy foes who have been subjects of online fascination this week. Here are the top Spidey villains of the week...

It warms my heart to see that old school villians like The Lizard, The Vulture, Electro and Mysterio made the list. Too bad The Kraven didn't rate. He's the Siegfried & Roy of Spider-Man villians.
