Part of the reason for the big budget is surely Raimi’s choice of villains. This time around, Spidey faces not just one but three new foes in Sandman, Venom and the newly villainous Harry Osborn, Peter’s best friend, who becomes the New Goblin (otherwise known as “Green Goblin II” in the comics) after finding the equipment left behind by his father Norman, the original Goblin. How much do you know about these three bad guys, as well as the assorted others who have appeared in the trilogy so far? Take our quiz and find out.","");
