Spider-Man might be one of the top characters in the Marvel Comics canon, but his rogue’s gallery of villains is definitely in a tier all their own as well. Over the past few decades, an ever-growing roster of bad guys have gone toe-to-toe with Peter Parker or other Spider-Men — and now, a new series of variant covers are here to celebrate them. Over the weekend, Marvel announced a series of Spider-Man villain variant covers, which are set to be released across Marvel’s titles in June. These twenty variant covers will feature combinations of heroes and villains that are quintessential to the Marvel universe, as well as a lot of unexpected ones. These face-offs will include Immortal Hulk taking down Rhino, Daredevil going head to head with Shocker, Miles facing off against Lady Octopus, and Shang-Chi caught in the grip of King Cobra.

Additional match-ups will include Black Cat vs. Scorpia, Black Widow vs. Electro, Captain America vs. Kraven the Hunter, Captain Marvel vs. Vulture, Fantastic Four vs. Sandman, Iron Man vs. Boomerang, Jean Grey & Emma Frost vs. Beetle (Janice Lincoln), Silk vs. White Rabbit, Spider-Man vs. Chameleon, Spider-Man vs. Doctor Octopus, Spider-Man vs. Taskmaster & Black Ant, Star-Lord vs. Trapster, Thor vs. Lizard, and Wolverine vs. Stegron.
