#Reminds me a little bit of the Vulture scene from Homecoming where he tricks Peter into bantering while his jetpack get revved up

Also it's still in progress but like, really great villain arc from The Spot.

He goes from just a grunt in an evil organization, gets cursed/sucky powers, turns to a life of crime and can't even get that right. Spiderman runs into him, stops him while not taking the fight too too seriously. But then he has to go do Miles Morales stuff, and Ganke doesn't call the cops to catch the guy, and he's back causing trouble again. But now he's a little wiser to the tricks that worked on him in round one. Threat level upgraded.

Miles fights him again, then he gets hoist by his own petard into the weird gap dimension, which is where he realizes he's got dimensional portals. Threat level upgraded.

Gwen is sent to Earth-1610 to clean up The Spot, but she takes her time with it to go see Miles, and by the time she gets to it, he's already on the dimension-hopping junket. Threat level upgraded.

Now he's facing three spiderpeople at once in Mumbattan and handling them, and he pulls a whole bunch of power juice out of that universe's collider. Threat level upgraded, and now he's a gainaxy crayon drawing and shit's entirely too real.

Honestly, it kinda mirrors the growth of a protagonist in a JRPG or shounen battle manga, where the evil org keeps sending stronger bosses out to hunt the main party down. Problem being that the bosses who get sent out are just barely beatable, and beating them helps the party level up and learn to control their powers.

The Spot is the personification of Miles' problems. Didn't follow through when he was small, and now he's a big effing problem.
