Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: the Vulture

Over the years, there have been a number of others who have put on wings and taken to the skies, including Blackie Drago, Clifton Shallot and Jimmy Natale, but Adrian, despite his advancing years and these Vulture-come-latelies, keeps coming back for more.

2. Alexi Systsevich took his nom de guerre from an animal which has five extant species throughout Africa and Asia. First appearing in "Amazing Spider-Man" #41, what name did Alexi take?

Answer: the Rhino

The Rhino was the first new super-villain created by John Romita (and Stan Lee)after he took over the art on "Amazing Spider-Man" from co-creator Steve Ditko. His second appearance in "Amazing Spider-man" #43 was remarkable in that it was the first full issue with Mary Jane Watson, who, in that issue, instead of making Peter Parker beg for an excuse to secretly change to Spider-Man, actually insisted that she and Parker go see the Rhino in action, making it easier for him to change into Spider-Man.

Much later it was revealed that Mary Jane knew all along that Parker was Spider-Man.

Answer: Doctor Octopus

Doctor Octopus, whose first appearance was in "Amasing Spider-Man" #3 has come close to marrying Peter Parker's Aunt May. As of 2013, he has become even closer to Peter Parker, by switching minds with Parker and taking his place and assuming his role under the name of the "Superior Spider-Man".

Answer: the Lizard

The Lizard is one of the few Spider-Man villains who is really not a bad guy when he resumes his Curt Connors form and in fact has helped Peter Parker with some frequency. Most of the stories involving the Lizard deal with trying to get the Lizard to drink a potion to restore his Curt Connors persona.

Answer: the Human Fly

The Richard Deacon Human Fly is not to be confused with a character of the same name, who was a costumed stuntman and had his own Marvel comic title that ran for 19 issues in 1977 and 1978.

Answer: Hammerhead

Although born in Russia, Hammerhead adopted the speech patterns of a mobster after seeing an Al Capone movie poster after being badly injured and delirious.

Answer: the Scorpion

Mac Gargan later left the Scorpion persona behind him and became, for some time, the third human host of the Venom symbiote and a "dark" version of Spider-Man put together by Norman Osborn as part of his "Dark Avengers" team.

Answer: the Kangaroo

Frank was the first of two Spider-Man villains called the Kangaroo. Many years after the original Kangaroo died a relatively short time after his first appearance, a new Kangaroo, with armor capable of jumping and a cannon within a pouch of his armor, was mostly played for laughs in the stories he appeared.

Answer: the Jackal

The Jackal often worked behind the scenes, manipulating others to do his work for him. His first costumed appearance, in "Amazing Spider-Man" #129, is also notable for being the first appearance of the Punisher, who he set against Spider-Man soon after Gwen Stacy's death.

Answer: the Chameleon

Sharing the names of two of the sons of the patriarch of Dostoevsky's Karamazov family, albeit one illegitimate, the Chameleon has often found himself the partner of fellow Russian Kraven the Hunter.
