Best spider-man no way home characters

Spider-Man wins 71% of its duels and tops the Spider-Man: No Way Home ranking ahead of Doc Ock, after 1849 duels.

The web-slinger dominates with 1389 ELO points, but the gap to Doc Ock in second place is tighter than expected: just 71 points separate the hero from the villain. Electro claims third with 1249 points, edging ahead of Green Goblin at 1214 and Venom at 1205. The podium reflects a clear preference for Spider-Man himself, yet the villains cluster close behind, suggesting that anticipation for the returning rogues gallery runs high. At the bottom, The Lizard struggles with a 13% win rate and 955 ELO points, revealing that this reptilian antagonist fails to capture the same enthusiasm as the film's other legacy characters. Doctor Strange, despite his pivotal role in the plot, ranks sixth with 1174 points, a reminder that nostalgia for multiverse villains often eclipses even the Sorcerer Supreme in fan excitement.

This ranking draws on 1849 duels cast by 124 players across 8 contenders, updated on 11 October 2026. The tight margins between several characters reflect genuine debate within the fanbase about which returning face delivers the most excitement. Whether you are here for the heroes, the villains, or the multiverse chaos they bring, cast your vote and shape the leaderboard.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
