Meet The SPOT | Worst Spider-Man Villain?

- čas přidán 26. 08. 2024
- Spider-Man has an impressive rogues gallery some would argue he has some of the most recognisable villains in the Marvel comics universe. One of them is The Spot who some feel bears striking similarities to DC's Polka Dot Man. How does this character come together with Black Cat, the Symbiote costume, Kingpin and more?

Update! The Spot to be a villain in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse! Can't wait!
Can't wait for this movie 🎥🍿
It would be interesting and cool to see the spot fighting in the big screen, especially when I think his powers shine and work better in a moving picture
Hyped, he has a lot of potential to make a real impact on this franchise if written right but I think lord&miller are gonna deliver with this guy and give us a incarnation of the character that is absolutely no joke at all.
Not just a villain. THE villain.
@@gspida25 about that
12:53
"don't laugh at your villains, they might start weird vendettas"
I guess the spot took that personally in across the spider verse
Throwing bagels, not even once lol
Honestly rewatching this video after seeing Across the spider verse just made me think that Sasha is very good at analyzing and predicting character arcs. Had me straight thinking that she's a prophet
The Spot in a nutshell: "And I took that personally"
The Spot, aka, the villain that actually allowed a punch being thrown in a episode of the 90's series, because Fox Kids STRICT censorship rules.
Only the deepest of cuts.
I also remember that Spidey said it was obvious he wasn't "a killer", contrasting the rest of the series, where they had to use terms like "destruction" or "eliminate."
Technically doesn't count because none of Spidey's punches against the Spot actually connected.
The *only* (?) punch that was a literal punch in that show was ...
.
.
.
the Chamelon episode where Spidey punched the Chameleon (who was disguised as Peter Parker) in the stomach. His powers were controlled by his belt so Spidey punched him in the belt to turn off his powers.
Wasn’t there an episode where he punched the Scorpion??
Think he also punched the Punisher as Man-Spider.
The Spot gets his powers from an extra-dalmatianal portal.
I'll see myself out.
The Spot should be a furry. Think about it then wish you didn't.
lol that's terribly wonderful
Wooooooooo! Get back in here! Tell me more jokes like that! I love those!
@Curtis Ball Yeah! This guy knows what I mean! Hats off to you man! 😎👍
The spot feels like if he went deeper into his powers or got some more strength he could dangerous imagine being any of the avengers and your attacks are skillfully redirects
Bro went from being a jokey villain of the week to a straight up love craftian horror monster.
All because somebody threw a bagel at him.
And didn’t take him seriously
Man that bagel really hit the spot
Kinda ruins the joke in the first movie if you ask me. Loved the "bagel!" sound effect.
The best/worst pun concerning The Spot, is the character’s entire name: Jonny Ohn, The Spot. Get it? He’s Johnny on the spot. Ba dum dum!
*Y E S*
That’s the mechanic from gtas name.
No, I don't get it
Wtf what does that even mean?
I think Ed Marks would’ve worked better
The Spot is such an underrated villain; he has a very Ditko-esque design. I hate that he's mostly played for laughs nowadays.
Twenty years ago, maybe.
Nowadays he's played for full on body horror.
@@patrickmccarthy6430 Honestly I like body horror spot more than comedic relief spot. As Casual said there is SOOO MUCH you can do with a power like this whether it be body horror or versatile shields. If I were the one writing this character honestly I'd go for the body horror idea too. Spider-Man's one of those characters who is so lawful, body horror or something like having an innocent civilians guts spew out of the portals on his body would easily traumatize Spidey.
Agreed
He looks like a Dalmatian idk what they were expecting to happen..
@@noahdecarmo8668 Have you seen how he looks now, he is no Dalmatian.
I like The Spot. He's one of those villains that's considered silly, but actually have scary powers. His appearance in Mark Waid's Daredevil run is quite strong.
I know right. People who really read comics know about him. The Spot was really scary in that Deadpool run and so was the creep who stole copied his powers.
What Deadpool run?
Did you know that the "Spot plugged into a horrible machine and his powers used for remote control slavery" was blatantly stolen from a Shocker based fanfiction? Though in that his powers were used to transmit mind control on villains for joyrides rather than the weird decapitation and basic farm and sex slavery.
Shocker: Legit was the fanfic, it apparently turns out to have been written by Max Landis though I don't think that was public at the time it was stolen. (Max has been accused of some very creepy things, but that still doesn't justify the plagarism)
@@matthewschwartz6607 I think he means Daredevil.
Now he is both considered to be scary too
This may be the HOTTEST take ever, but the Spot is my favorite Spider-Man villain.
Spicy 🌶
I loved him in the 90s series
@@Puerco-Potter Right! Ahhh how much a jaw line makes the difference, eh?
@@Puerco-Potter same
Freaks me out the last time he was in Daredevil though more Demon than Super Villan
"Worst Spider-Man Villian?" The Wall begs to disagee
And big wheel and stilt man
I can’t remember his name but there’s also a Spidy villain who’s only ability is that he’s very annoying.
Electric Company reference, nice
And let's not forget the Hypno-Hustler. Although, most people try very hard to forget him.
TYPEFACE!
Most people: Marvel ripped off DC’s Deathstroke by making Deadpool.
Me, an intellectual: the Spot is Marvel’s Polka-Dot Man.
that doesn't make sense to me. portals/blackholes are not the same as turning a dot into a floating boxing glove
Freebirth boccara the theme of the villains is the point, not their abilities.
I honestly never knew or noticed that until I saw this who would've guessed lol
@Fashion Forward Accessories, Crystal Dowdy While I agree with a lot of those, some of those are massive stretches. Black Panther is nothing like Wild Cat. Mole Man and Penguin have nothing in common, other then being short and ugly. Mongul is actually a copy of Thanos (though as pointed out Thanos is a copy of Darkseid, so that's a weird case of DC copying Marvel copying DC), Apocalypse is completely different. If you're going to accuse Mr Fantastic of copying anyone it would be Plastic Man, who predates Elongated Man by a lot; but really Fantastic's REAL power is his Intelligence. Crossbones is more akin to Bane (who Crossbones debuted before), while KG Beast is more like Red Guardian (who debuted way before KG Beast). Spider-Man has NOTHING in common with Taratula (at least not the original one, who was basically just another Batman; the second (current) Tarantula is actually a copy of Spidey).
Me a person who likes JoJo : looks like sticky fingers got his Marvel charecter
The spot could have genuinely been a great villain imo. He's really not much sillier looking than say the Joker. His abilities can be very impressive. He's clearly way more powerful than the animal-themed villains in the Spider-man Revenge Squad. Imagine if somebody tried to shoot him or if he did the self punching trick on Wolverine. I never liked the idea of a loser villain in general tbh. It just seems like such a waste and really taints characters, giving them a stigma they'll have to overcome for later stories. Just portray them competently, and they'll be considered that way.
Spot deserves better than the spiderman revenge squad.
When I learned that existed and he was a part of it
You'd think a villan with basically the power to teleport except better would be respected.
I don't have a problem with incompetent villains, but the defining term 'loser' gets labelled so arbitrarily.
Why did the writers see The Spot as a loser? Why did they have Spidey laugh so hilariously at The Spot's appearance when the exact same writers introduced the friggin 'Answer' just a few episodes earlier in full seriousness?
i realize this has happened a few times. shocker, mysterio most of the time, chameleon, scorpion sometimes even.
Gonna be honest the spot is kinda terrifying
I mean and correct me of I'm wrong because I have bad memory
But didn't he smuggle drugs with pregnant women by putting it inside of them by opening a portal
Not to mention he could kill just about any villan by putting half of them through a portal and closing it
I'm not even sure the hulk could survive being bisected
I always loved misterio, so much i didnt even know he was mocked, i think i liked him for his appearance on the spectacular spiderman cartoon, from then on i always liked him and it wasnt until FFH that i learned he was a joke villain
I love how it finally took his Big Screen Debut for people to actually take the Spot seriously as a villain and realize his scary potential.
Lol I haven seen the new spider verse movie but heard the spot was the new villain and was so shocked because I remembered watching this video and thinking that the spit sounded like he had a ton of potential as a villain and it’s a shame he was never treated that seriously only for him to be the main villain of a movie.
And all thanks to the infamous Avi Arad (he suggested Spot to be the main villain of Across and Beyond, at first Phil Lord and Chris Miller said no, until they researched a lot about him, and the rest is history).
“My mother didn’t raise me to be a janitor.” I’m guessing she also didn’t raise you to be a power-mad supervillain freak, either.
You never know, some parents have very odd dreams for their children.
Pretty sure she did
You assume much
@@truefanforum3273 Peter Merkel wanted that
@@malonee I'm afraid I don't know who that is.
There's actually a villain called "The Answer"? What's even more shocking that he's a Spider-Man villain and not a villain of The Question. Wow. Watching your videos I always learn something new lol.
The Ridller fought the Question once
There are two villains named "The Answer". And it's really kind of weird that the Batman villain never has bumped into the Question, but he was one of those one-shots who doesn't know where Arkham's revolving door is.
@@DavidJoh It makes sense that Batman would have a villain called The Answer since Batman himself is often called the "world's greatest detective".
@@TheVetoSkreeemer I know I read that issue and it was pretty cool. But The Riddler only gives riddles but doesn't give answers
@@manis1551 A fun and interesting issue. The Questions made by the Question are really deep and meaningful.
12:53 - 13:04 Wow, did Sasha just predict the plot to Spider-Verse 2?
Bagel hittin diffrent...
The bagel
I love the Spot. I like that despite having a potentially super devastating power he's not a large threat because of his temperament and lack of ambition. It's kind of a mirror to how a hero can still be a great hero with no power or a lame power.
I think that's cool too, but I would rather him after lots of experience being to now become a large threat because there is so much potential there.
"MY HOLES ARE THE ANSWERS"
"I'M COMING (💀) FOR U SPIDERMAN"
- spot (2023)
The small touches like having to retrieve his spots, His hair bleaching and combining his spots together, it’s pretty brilliantly creative.
That's Al Milgrom for you.
The Spot is a Friggin' cool villain. Cool design, cool powers.
And now, cool movie
Fascinating to watch this after Across the Spider-Verse, I'm surprised by how his origin was actually pretty close to the comics
Yo im watching this after the movie and the "don't laugh at your villain" got me on the floor in laghter. Thank you
Came here after Spiderman into the multiverse announced he's villain in the second movie
The Spot really stood out to me as a kid reading Ultimate Spider-Man. Not because he was especially threatening, but since Spideys fight with him was used as framing for Peter to open up to Aunt May about the type of danger he gets into every day, as she had recently found out about his secret identity.
Since his powers are hard to describe, it feels like it just makes it that much harder for May to hear.
He was in Ultimate Spiderman? When?
Damn, hearing how Soap opera like these side stories were, it's no surprise they eventually got around to the "evil-twin" plot
And then the evil-twin had an evil-twin.
and then those evil twins had a couple hundred more evil twins
Hey Wilson! Why not just cut Dagger a check? "Excuse me, Miss? How would you like a life changing amount of money, and all you have to do is save a life?"
The Spot is became cool when he's avenge his son's death. Underrated vilain who deserve a better suit.
His suit looks cool
I personally think the spot design in return of the spot is the best design ever had
that almost gave me a stroke
He's not only one of the most underrated villains but one of the most 0P villains if you consider how dangerous black holes are in real Life. Think about it?🤔
When did this happen?
In light of the new movie, this video aged great!
This definitely aged
The villain of the week
Now Villain of the year
Dean Pelton, "I hope this doesn't awaken anything in me."
Hahahahahahahahaha Well done, sir, well done
I want a Spot movie starring Jim Rash!!!
It would be in-dean-ious!
I feel like Spot's menacing potential is more self evident in a post internet/GLaDOS world, and I think his similar name/origin to Polka Dot Man and that his comparitively decent design was laughed at does point to a stand-in, even though his personality couldn't be more different.
The spot has a potential lovecraftian feel to it that is never realized.
The spot has a potential lovecraftian feel to it that is now realized
lol I remember thinking how cool the spot seemed and was sad we never got much of him only to hear he is the main villain in a Spider-Man movie. My wish got more than granted
The Spot, the one true master of the "stop hitting yourself" technique
Spider-Man is just another tragic victim of compulsive quipping disorder.
Patient 0
here after he is accounced as spiderverse 2 main villian he looks interesting
That’s thinking with portals!
* spots
@@AesculapiusPiranha same difference.
The Answer should fight Jeopardy! His secret identity could be Alex Trebek.
And then The Question is revealed to be Sean Connery all along...
The Spot’s power could be utilised really well. He’s menaced a Russian gangster, making himself a near perfect assassin. Just imagine if he had some training ie fighting, marksmanship, weapons, he could do some serious damage.
A sniper that can killed you on the other side of the world. Open a portal cost a bomb and close it the Ultimate Assassin
Majestic Gothitelle I love it - the possibilities for his guy is endless :) he could be an emergency exit guy for top world dictators moving from one hideout to the next!!!!
A superhero like captain America can try to ram him with his motorcycle only for spot to open a portal to a volcano 🌋😈😈😈
How come anytime i fail at science i never get powers
You are in the wrong universe
You need to be studying radiation and superpowers.
You need to get smart, then fail at science.
I bet you could get you radiation poising and glow in the dark
MatAle Albiach aren’t we all 😞
you actually could have a question/answer fight within the confines of the dcu. There is an obscure Batman villain from the 90's called the Answer. So obscure he only ever appeared on the cover of, and in one of the profile pages, of a batman villains secret files issue. I had totally forgotten him till I watched this. It was a like a floodgate opened in my mind. He's well worth a google.
I'd rather like to see the spot fight zebra man, from the current suicide squad series. Spots v stripes! Who would win?
He may be worth a google, but is he worth a giggle.
I’ll see myself out.
There is a one-off gag in an episode of Batman: the Brave and the Bold where Zebra Man and Polka-Dot man play pool against each other.
@@Tiggeralt
Batman Brave and the Bold has everything
Question and Answer could be used in a Who's on First routine between Plastic Man and Woozy Winks, DC's answer to Abbott and Costello.
Also, 3:53 for anyone who doubted Sasha's Canadianness.
That wig is the reddest thing i've ever seen.
"Nobody thinks you're a joke!"
*They won't.*
The Question is too cool for the Answer...
Is there a multiple choice?
Anybody come back here after seeing Spider-Verse 2?
Me
Me
I see the cross over cover now... The Question gets The Awnser!
Spot got tired of being called the villain of the week in Across the Spider-Verse.
i heard he is the villain into spider verse 2
Sasha, if you're going to talk about wacky Spider-Man villains, mention Fusion as a well.
Oh fusion is cool.
I like his gimmick.
Which one? There are 2 of them. The two little-people who merge into one being from Denny Oneill run, or the guy who can duplicate any powers from Paul Jenkins' run?
Back after Across the Spiderverse
He’s actually cool imo just very underrated.
I'm sure he'll have his time in the SPOTlight one day
Across the Spider verse movie
The day as come.
Glad I spotted this video in My notifications.
Ngl I would NOT sacrifice my life for Pakistan
I haven't watched yet but is this Cruella De Ville's final form? That was my first thought lol.
spot has died about 5 times in the comics and come back each time, 1 of those was him being resurrected by the hand. the rest where recently explained by his body reforming in his spot dimension every time he dies
The Spot seems to be a closer analog for Mirror Master, especially once they started giving him mirror dimension access.
A competent Spot turned thief/spy/assassin could be very dangerous.
Especially if he learns how to stretch and shrink his dots and pull extras from the pokadot dimension rather than having to take them off of his body.
His powers in the hands of a competent villain would be a problem for a lot of Heroes
Love The Spot, but now we need an episode on The Answer, just so everyone gets to experience that costume.
Who else hear to learn about him for spider man across the spider verse
The Spot going back and collecting his spots is honestly so sad and so funny. I can’t get over it.
I want to see e Deathbattle of Polka Dot Man vs The Spot.
Hell yes!
I would totally watch that.
Probably The Spot , Polka Dot man doesn't seem to be super impressive.
@@l0sts0ul89 Now since his Depiction in TSS this match up all of a sudden becomes more interesting
@@rennythespaceguy7285 The Spot would probably still win,Polka Dot Man shoots his polka dots,Spot uses a portal to shoot the polka dots back at Polka Dot Man and BOOM,Polka Dot Man is dead.After all,he doesn't have any superstrength or something along those lines,so he dies.
I really want them to do the spot in the “into the spider-verse” sequel. I think his look and powers would translate perfectly to that animation style!
You got your wish. He just got announced for it!
Your a visionary
Good news. It's confirmed that Spots appeared in Across the Spider-Verse.
You were so right
Bro was typing this from the writing team lol
Imagine showing this character to a friend who suffers from trypophobia.
That's not how it works ...
It worked on me 🤣
I have some tryophobia he isn't that bad except for when he had a bunch of his own body go through the spots in his own body.
You predicted this new movie lol 😂
This was an unending laughfest. I can’t wait to use succulent in reference to my body.
"He was lucky to escape without being animal themed" I mean he's called spot maybe he's themed after a pet dog
This is an actual example of when creator's ( literally ) pull ideas out of a hat as a last resort 😂
amazing powers
Maybe so, but The Spot is pretty awesome. Sometime's the most hilarious, unlikely, unusual, random ideas are the most awesome. Lol
What do you mean by worst, kangaroo man is the worst 🤣🤣
Typeface would like to have a word with you.
This video has had so many good jokes-I'm not even through with the video yet-and you just keep crankin' them out!
I don't normally pause a video to leave a comment but DAMN!
Well, this is awkward
Welp, Across the Spiderverse definitely fixed that
Here after the new spider-verse trailer. Honestly wasn't expecting this guy of all people to be the new villain, but it does fit pretty well.
I have a phobia of holes, he scares me😳
He should. He's pretty powerful.
In reality, there are actually black holes in space that consume planets, meteors, and suns. Some scientist think that one day, many many years from now, our solar system could be consumed and destroyed.
Hmm... Interesting
Just Google trypophobia
The Hypno - Hustler and Big Wheel are pretty darn awful.
Ah yes, those 1970s villains. The Kangaroo, too, was from that era. Prowler turned out to be pretty cool, though.
Rocket racer and slyde aren’t so great either
@@jamesdent9057 Slyde and the Family Stone? #dadjoke HA. Rocket Racer.. ha cashing in the roller skating fad. He is almost as absurd as having an incredibly powerful cosmic being who flies around on a surfboard. :) See, some get sort of redeemed.
The Spot sure reminds me of Steve Ditko's drawings. That by its turn reminds me of the Dimensional Man, a one-time Dracula foe in the Marvel Tomb of Dracula black and white magazine.
Ah the Spot. One of my favorite unsung villains. You should do The Answer. I still confused how his powers work exactly.
LUISPRIME
Who? The Answer? Well, see, he don't like Zap! That leaves the Answer with Bang an Boom, which severely limits his plots, an, whoops, ZZAAPPPP!!!! Kathump.
Uh-oh. Kwik, pump I'm back up!
Fssssssss........
Try Harder!!!
But no, the Answer hadda be carted off.
Eek! Who's gonna be scared of That??!! ZAP gets I'm? Really?
Dang.
I think it's just whatever he needs. An "answer" to his problems.
He seems more powerful than Spiderman actually
The Spot had his best moments in the Winter Soldier mini series by Kyle Higgins.
Worst Spider-Man villain? I think you misspelled Dan Slott.
"I'm the biggest Spider-Man fan around. Now sit back and watch me write him out of character for 10 years while building up my actual favorite character, Otto Octavius."
@@jhornacek Spider-Man IS his fav it's just that damned Parker getting in the way, turns out he shares a ton with 80's Black Cat.
@@Ebonzai Slott said many times that Spidey was his favorite character, but it's obvious from reading his Spidey/SpOck run that Doc Ock is his real favorite character. He writes Otto really well, but his Spidey/Peter stories are pretty bad, he writes him completely out of character, having him shirk his responsibilities all the time, making him a Tony Stark copy, and he constantly can't win fights by himself without having other heroes come in to help him - even foes he had defeated previously all by himself. And let's not get started about how he was unable to write MJ. Good riddance - glad to have Spencer on the book now.
@@jhornacek Yeah I know, my joke was his weakness came from not respecting Peter everything fell from there.
@@Ebonzai Ah, got it.
Actually, Slott seemed like a great pick to write Spidey. His Spidey/Human Torch mini-series is a classic. And a couple of his stories during his ASM run are really good. But for the most part his run is a huge disappointment of mischaracterization and Spidey not being able to defeat anyone without help. Also, Slott attacking the readers online didn't help.
I think this was one of my favorite episodes. I'm almost done but I've been smiling the whole time. Well done. And what a cool character...I don't remember him... Weird...
now the spot it's a multiverse danger
Well this video aged like wine
Lookin for this exact comment
I agree, The Spot has a lot of potential, particularly in how fearsome he could be thematically with clever use of his theme and powers. He can even look very cool, like seen at 19:13
As someone who was introduced to The Spot in the 90s series as a kid, I always loved this character and his power set. I also remember feeling very sad for him in that show. I think he was doing the experiments to earn money for his wife or something. But yeah, underrated character.
I have a massive respect for the Spot. One of the villains who beat Spider-Man ... because he was laughing too hard from his name and appearance.
I like The Spot (Marvel) better the Mr. Polka Dot (DC).
Same
Definitely
Impossible
No one asked?
Why?
I imagine a mulleted individual in a polo shirt (with the collar popped up) was coked up whilst watching "Yellow Submarine" on VHS and during the "I've got a hole in my pocket" sequence decided, "Whoa, that'd be a *totally awesome* super-power!"(it was the 80s after all)
I'm sorry but that first cover you showed is still in my head. "Enter the hermit "? I want to know what that's all about.
Also that wig is on point.
I sympathize, I've often been corrected on my last name. (Cann - sometimes as in tin "can", or comic "con".) Possibly because I've lived in the US and Great Britain. (England, Australia, and even Toronto, in the 60's.)
And the "Spot" is a weird character, but I like weird. (But I think I draw the line at Arm-Fall-Off-Boy.)
As always, thank you so very much for your videos.
Never heard of Arm Fall Off Boy. Lol That sounds real stupid, but it may be good. I have to check it out.
Shirtless Bear Fighter sounds pretty hilarious too. However, it's actually a pretty good comic book.
So my favorite thing about the spot has to be him recollecting his spots he threw everywhere. I just imagine him counting all the dots making sure he gets all of them
Considering that he was able to move the spots on his body into one giant spot on this chest, you would think he would be able to call all the thrown spots back to him instead of having to walk around and pick them all up.
Imagine the spot closing holes when people were partially in, severing their limbs and keeping them inside the spot dimension, until eventually the spot dimension is crowded with body parts to the point where he can't really move through it and his holes just constantly leak rotted gore
If we’re going with worst villains and we don’t bring up the rogues gallery from the electric company series, one that stands out, “The Sack”
Jonathan Ohnn, The Spot.
It's not a long leap to say it's probably based on Johnny On The Spot.
Imma be real: first thought I have when starting up a CC vid is "What wig is Sssha going to rock in this one?" XD
Actually, I'd be able to understand the cameras showing the black on white, if the spots covered enough of the lens that it was within Spotland, it would mostly show just, well, Spotland, and the occasional glimpse of Spidey zipping between spots on occasion.
I like The Spot! I mean, I think it actually has an underlying notion of seriousness far more than, say, Polka Dot Man...who has none at all. Hah! Dude has portals all over him, that's kind of cool. And the whole concept of Spidey throwing a punch and it going right into him...or it coming out another and Spidey punching himself in the face via said portals is kind of interesting. It's just he was never WRITTEN very seriously.
