As an example, consider <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ComicBook/SpiderMan' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ComicBook/SpiderMan' data-format='Q29taWNCb29rL1NwaWRlck1hbg=='>Spider-Man</a>: the Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, and Venom have all established themselves as recurring and iconic foes of Spider-Man, each of whom has been considered the wallcrawler's Arch-Enemy at different points in time. </p><p>Lastly, remember that this generally refers to the enemy the <em>hero</em> considers to be his Arch-Enemy, and ideally, it should be personal on both sides (though there are plenty of good "<a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ButForMeItWasTuesday' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ButForMeItWasTuesday' data-format='QnV0Rm9yTWVJdFdhc1R1ZXNkYXk='>But for Me, It Was Tuesday</a>"-type Arch Foes out there).

Electro, Rhino, Scorpion, and others all consider Spider-Man their most hated foe, but compared to the Goblin, Venom, or Doc Ock, Spidey regards these guys more like superpowered nuisances. Also, remember that being the <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BigBad' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BigBad' data-format='QmlnQmFk'>Big Bad</a> does not automatically make a villain the hero's Arch-Enemy.

Sometimes, a villain becomes the Arch-Enemy of the hero when the villain does something that makes the hero realize that they are <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BeyondRedemption' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BeyondRedemption' data-format='QmV5b25kUmVkZW1wdGlvbg=='>Beyond Redemption</a>. </p><p>Beware of letting an Arch-Enemy fall victim to <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VillainDecay' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VillainDecay' data-format='VmlsbGFpbkRlY2F5'>Villain Decay</a>. </p><p>See also <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BreakoutVillain' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BreakoutVillain' data-format='QnJlYWtvdXRWaWxsYWlu'>Breakout Villain</a>, for those instances when a run-of-the-mill villain ascends to Arch-Enemy status. </p><p>Not to be confused with various works known as <em><a class='twikilink disambiglink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Nemesis' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Nemesis' data-format='e3tOZW1lc2lzfX0='>Nemesis</a></em>.
