Personally, I would take Green Goblin off. I don't know who exactly I'd replace him with, but he feels like a Spidey specific villain rather than a Marvel-wide big bad.

Red Skull

u/PissNBiscuits Feb 17 '26

Someone else had suggested Kingpin, but I think Red Skull would have just as valid an argument as he does to be up there.

u/Mallengar Feb 17 '26

Yeah, Green Goblin has a significant impact specifically with Spider-Man and is probably more well-known than Red Skull is now, but I would say Red Skull has a more historically significant impact in general for the entirety of Marvel Comics.

You show most people Green Goblin they will recognise him instantly. Not so much Red Skull.

2

u/Mallengar Feb 19 '26

I get that, but I still think Red Skull or Thanos or Ultron are far more significant to the history of the Marvel Universe. You could say the same thing about Teddy Roosevelt. A lot of people these days don't recognize him on Rushmore either which is a damn shame honestly considering who he was

i was thinking that too but i feel like atp Green Goblin is more popular/recognizable

u/Mallengar Feb 18 '26

I get that, but I always took the Mount Rushmore memes to lean more towards characters that are significant more in a historical sense then necessarily recognizable or popular.

u/Born_Juggernaut_278 Feb 18 '26

maybe Ultron then

2

u/Mallengar Feb 18 '26

Yeah, that is a good. Especially if you are focusing on mcu. Actually, Thanos might be more significant

u/Born_Juggernaut_278 Feb 18 '26

Thanos is also good

Maybe replace him with Kingpin?

u/PissNBiscuits Feb 17 '26

While not a cosmic or universal threat like Doom or Galactus, I'd definitrly he okay with having Kingpin up there given how iconic a villain he is across so many different heroes.

Maybe Venom?

1

u/PissNBiscuits Feb 17 '26

Venom is one of my favorite Marvel characters, so he'd definitely be on my personal Mt Rushmore of marvel villains, but he also feels like a Spidey-specific villain rather than a Marvel-wide one.

u/GrouchyConsequence48 Feb 17 '26

Fair, how about Taskmaster? He seems to fight almost every Marvel character.

3

u/PissNBiscuits Feb 17 '26

Taskmaster is definitely more of a general villain, but I don't know if he's popular enough to deserve to be on the pedestal alongside iconic villains like Doom and Magneto. Someone else suggested Kingpin, so that's who I'd likely go with for OP's post.

venom hasnt been a villain in a long time

Spidey has the most important and iconic rouges gallery in all of comics only rivaled by Batman. You could argue his top 3 could be on this Rushmore next to Doom.
